Questions people ask
What is data visualization?
It is the presentation of data as charts, maps and graphics so people can see patterns, compare values and understand results quickly.
Which chart should we use?
It depends on the message: bars to compare, lines for change over time, maps for places, and simple numbers when one figure tells the story. We advise on each one.
Can you work from Excel or survey data?
Yes. Send spreadsheets or exports and we check, summarise and visualise them.
Do you build interactive dashboards?
We design dashboard-style pages for reports and presentations. For live interactive dashboards we can design the visuals for your developer or platform.
