Brilliant, intuitive app design is what separates successful mobile apps in a competitive space and keeps users coming back time and time again.
User experience (UX) design isn’t simply about making an app look pretty and trendy. Good UX leads the user on an enjoyable and intuitive journey through all aspects of their interaction with the application. Our UX designers ensure our mobile apps are as user-friendly and engaging as possible.
We understand that good user experience design is crucial to the success of your app. Our award-winning designers hold industry-specific knowledge to ensure your mobile app’s UX design supports a seamless in-app journey and delivers a relevant, meaningful app interaction to your users.
Well researched and perfectly executed UX design brings the following benefits to your mobile applications:
Ease of use
Build brand trust
Increase customer loyalty
Lower support costs for businesses
Increase conversions
Create a memorable experience
Stand out from the competition
Increase customer satisfaction
UX and UI design go hand-in-hand and, as such, when we talk about one it’s inevitable we’ll talk about the other.
Despite the co-existence of user experience and user interface design, they are two very different things. While UX design is focused on designing the usability and making an app as intuitive as possible, UI design is focused on an app's visual and interactive features; everything from colour and animations to buttons and graphics.
Let’s take a look at both UX and UI design in a little more detail:
As we already know, UX considers the user’s experience from the moment they download the app to the moment they complete whatever purpose took them into the app. Good UX ensures that a user's journey through an app is intuitive and satisfying.
The goal is to provide a memorable in-app experience that is relevant to users and makes them want to return. Prioritising UX mobile app design encourages users to convert into customers and stay loyal to your brand for the long term.
User interface design is where we take the foundations of the page laid out in UX, and implement a consistent, appropriate aesthetic over that. It might be adopting and interpreting a client’s brand style or creating a new one. It should be accessible and intuitive, implementing standards across the product.
An app’s user experience is greatly influenced by the user interface. For example: an app that functions seamlessly (great UX) but doesn’t look beautiful (poor UI) won’t attract users. And an app that looks beautiful (great UI) but doesn’t function seamlessly (poor UX) won’t retain users.
You must have an app that does both!
Poor user experience will create friction for the user and they will be more likely to abandon your app in favour of the competition. No one wants to use an app that is difficult to navigate, slow loading, or has frustrating functionality issues.
A smooth user experience that lets users complete their goals with ease can boost your retention rates, increase customer loyalty, and build brand trust.
