UX Process
Designing User Experience is a complex process and requires much more than a solid technical background. A reliable UX designer combines many competences that allow you to propose modern technological solutions, in line with the needs of your potential customers.
We need to precisely define the problem and understand the idea of your product.
We thoroughly research your business needs and the needs of end users of the application. On the basis of the obtained data, we prepare the User story backlog of the entire project – it will answer the question of what path the user must follow in the app to fulfill a specific need.

Business documentation – to understand the business model.
Question list/ briefing – we need to understand the product and your business perfectly
User Research – we conduct a Target Audience, Product and Competition research
Backlog definition and priorities.
We crystallize the general vision of the product.
We define the Personas and the User flow. We will define the steps that the app user must take to gain access to specific functions and perform specific tasks. We also map the User journey, i.e. a visual presentation of the points of contact between the user and the product.
PHASE STEPS
User testing – grouping user stories (post-its). To know better how to structure functionalities.
Building User Persona/Profile – to get a better idea of the target audience.

Focus on testing the prepared solutions (e.g. clickable interface mockups).
With the help of test users, we check whether the application meets the accessibility standards and whether it will be useful enough for the target users. After identifying the necessary changes, UX and UI Engineers introduce the improvements. The product is safely developed to the MVP stage, and the final application, website or system can be introduced to the market.
PHASE STEPS
User Testing – to see if the design meets users’ expectations and incorporate feedback into solution.
Analysis – we analyze the results of Usability Testing and rethink future design updates.
Implementation – feedback from the development team is crucial at Implementation stage. We need to be sure that we addressed all the issues before product launches.

– Flexibility: flexibility in the event of expanding the company’s business needs, will encourage customers to adopt the product faster.
