Analyze
After delivering the first version, the real work begins. Digital products are a constant evolution. Leveraging user feedback, analytics, and new trends to iterate on the product ensures a loyal customer and robust product.
Our Design Philosophy
Though good UI/UX Design services make for a great product, we believe in going a level deeper and immersing ourselves in our client’s organization and product. This allows us to truly understand the product, target audience, user journey, and adopt a consultant based approach that results in a holistic solution, addressing the key objectives and requirements of the project.
Design is an iterative and ever evolving process which requires gathering user feedback, reviewing analytics, and brainstorming as a team to stay on the cutting edge of innovation.
Our array of UI/UX design services, combined with our systemic approach to design have a significant impact on our client’s products and their end users.

02
Information Architecture
Without proper Information Architecture, even a great UI would fail. As a crucial aspect of UX design, Information Architecture aims at organizing the content on your app or website making it easy to navigate and adjust effortlessly with the functionality.
-
03
Wireframing
A wireframe is a skeleton or a blueprint that enables the UX architect to craft the user experience and better visualize the user journey, without having to focus on the style guide and aesthetics. Wireframes are a low fidelity, simplified outline of your product.
-
04
Skinning/User Interface Design
It is during this phase where the app or website begins to look familiar and take shape. The user interface design is where our design team executes on the style guide, mood board/inspiration, and visual elements discussed at the start of the project.
-
05
Iterating
Throughout the project, the wireframe and user interface designs go through a review and feedback process. This is the stage where our UX designers and user interface designers walk through the designs with the client and gather feedback or suggestions to confirm the product aligns with your vision, the business requirements, and overall brand strategy.
-
06
Prototyping
Prototyping helps to visualize the final product and provides the opportunity to gather user feedback before it moves to the next phase of coding. This phase helps confirm the fidelity of the product design, address any missing elements/screens, and prepare it for design handoff.
-
07
Design Handoff
A proper Design Handoff ensures the product is pixel perfect and aligns with the static designs. This is a critical step and the last piece of the design phase before moving on to the software development phase.
