The success of any mobile app or website can depend on how the design and functionalities are portrayed to the end user. Any design needs the right combination of an excellent user experience with creative and eye catching elements to help increase traffic, retention and ROI.
It is a not always an easy balance to achieve. At SRC our experienced designers consider a multitude of aspects before initiating any design project:-
- Client Brief & Objectives
- Target Audience & Market
- Comprehensive Sitemap
- Wireframes & User Flow Charts
- Functunaility
- Navigation
- Brand & Brand Guidelines
- Effective Colour Scheme
- Original Content to be Used
- Imagery & Video
- Call to Actions
- Devices
- Internet Browsers
With every mobile app and website project we not only place emphasis on the end user and the user experience (UX), but we also pay attention to the user interface (UI) aspect as this will lead to the overall user experience.
So, what is UX and UI design?
UX covers all the functionalities, content and any interactivity of a website or mobile app. Prior to any project our UX designers work through structured phases to ensure a smooth transition from one step to another. We consider the planning phase which is investigating and considering the best way to produce and present the design, the wireframes which showcase where all the functionalities, text images and video etc are going to be located and then finally the actual design which is the way that the project will look visually.
The user interface design (UI) needs to represent the overall user experience when it comes to the functionalities that are visible. Our UI designers need to arrange how the designs are best presented. Each page is carefully crafted considering how users interact, what icons to use, where best to present the content and call to actions, incorporate the brand colours and introducing other complimenting colours.
Combining both UX and UI differ but when used correctly together form the basis of an excellent design. They are often appreciated as two separate sections but it is important that before you start any project that your design company is aware of both important components as they are closely related and need to share the same vision, accessibility and overall complete user satisfaction.
