UI/UX Design and Development Services
Want a unique interface to make your product stand out on the market? With our UI development services, you will get an eye-catching, intuitive solution that attracts new users and converts them into loyal customers.
What is UX/UI Design?
User interface development consists of two parts – UI and UX design, closely intertwined with each other.
UX or User Experience is about managing users’ journey as they interact with a product. UX refers to the product’s feel and the effort required to do something. It concerns interaction design, information architecture, and content.
User interface design is about the visual part of your product: font, colors, images, animation, buttons, widgets, etc. UI designers ensure that first-time users would want to stay and learn more. A good UI design visually guides the user through the product.
Why Do You Need a Proper UI/UX Design?
To align the product with user expectations
To optimize development efforts
To improve customer acquisition
To retain users
To lower customer support and training costs
Listen to what your target audience wants and build your product accordingly. Your product will bring the desired business results only if you are on the same page with the potential users.
Don’t spend money and time on unnecessary features and UX flows. Correcting mistakes after deployment will take extra time and costs. However, building UI properly from the start will pay off in the long run.
A visually enticing and intuitive UI satisfies users and encourages them to stay longer. As a result, the conversion rate goes up. Besides, a properly designed UI helps to build trust and, therefore, loyalty.
The longer it takes for the users to do something, the more likely they will give up halfway. Analyze your UX flows to understand how many steps users make in various scenarios.
With an intuitive UI, users are confident about their actions and make fewer errors. They need little help to start working and achieve their goals.
Our UI/UX Design Process
During our UI UX development, we adhere to the plan and pay attention to details to build a perfect product and avoid any issues in the future. It requires time, effort, and discipline. Our product design process consists of five key stages.
Discovery
Our UI UX dev experts study the project brief and technical requirements to come up with questions for the kickoff meeting. Before we proceed, we have to find out the product’s target audience and conditions of use.
Goal-setting
Once all the requirements are listed, we must clarify its main goal. What should a project achieve? Improve conversion, fix onboarding, make a product more user-friendly or modern-looking? Depending on the answer, we plan our next steps.
UX Design
To shape the idea behind the project, we:
* Define MVP (Minimum Viable Product) features and prioritize them
* Research competitors: list other products from the same niche, noticing their strong and weak sides, and look for a unique position the product may occupy
* Create a storyboard – a visual representation of a user experience flow, usually in the form of a comic strip. Thus, we highlight the most important product features
* Define user and app flows – a series of steps users take to get the desired result. We visualize the process quickly and learn about the target audience better
* Draw a wireframe – an elementary sketch of a product, also called page architecture or schematic. It makes reviewing and changing the structure of pages much easier
Branding (optional)
Building brand identity may be required depending on the project goals and product vision. That includes defining the brand name, color palette, brand voice, typography, and logo.
UI Design
Now our team has to implement the UX and branding in a working user interface. At this stage, we:
* Create the design concept – a set of sketches, written statements, or images explaining the main idea behind your design. We evaluate several options to choose the best one
* Create the mood boards – a visual representation of a project concept: a collage of images, animations, objects, and texts to demonstrate to the client where we are heading
* Build high-fidelity prototypes and move to the final design. Unlike wireframes, prototypes are interactive. They serve to get feedback from the stakeholders and test the product’s functionality before making the last changes
How Do We Address Typical UI/UX Design Challenges?
Most clients want to boost conversion, improve onboarding, make their products more user-friendly, or enhance the visual part. Here is how our UI development team usually deals with these tasks.
Improve conversion
The lack of high-quality images, animations, and videos makes conversion rates suffer. We choose our strategy depending on the project: remove the clutter, improve the loading speed, introduce customer reviews or FAQs, prioritize a mobile conversion of the solution, etc.
Fix onboarding
Choosing the right onboarding UX practice will help the solution retain more users. For instance, we try to convey the product’s main value, explain the need for notifications, or how every feature is used.
Make the product more user-friendly
In this case, our checklist includes making the navigation more intuitive, fixing the visual part, ensuring mobile-friendliness, making the product more inclusive, and inventing a unique content strategy.
Improve the visual part of the UI
What exactly needs fixing depends on the client’s needs and expectations. Typically, we work with shadows, animation, and typography and unclutter the design.
