Lieflat Charts

By Lieflat

Turn your data into polished, publication-ready charts, slide decks, and reports.

Heuristic Evaluation

• Evaluates your interface against 10 proven usability heuristics like system visibility, error prevention, and consistency
• Documents each issue with severity ratings from cosmetic to critical
• Provides specific recommendations for fixing each problem found
• Reviews both new user and experienced user perspectives
• Prioritizes findings so you know what to fix first

Lieflat Charts

• Picks the right chart type from the shape of your data, so you never have to name one
• Builds charts from a library of tested templates in a clean black-and-white style, with optional color themes or your brand colors
• Creates full one-page reports such as monthly reviews, annual reports, and research briefs
• Produces animated slide presentations as HTML or PDF
• Checks every chart for honest scales, readable labels, and clear conclusion-style titles
