Introduction
UX design means designing customer-centric applications that function based on the user’s needs. UX is designing for the best user experience possible for the application. Premium UX design is critical for a business, as UX design covers alternative user workflows to benefit all types of end users instead of coding for one. The user personas developed during UX design identify all the expected user types and their workflows.
Designing for users with varying workflow and accessibility needs creates a positive and meaningful user experience. Customers are more essential now than ever before. An application gets one first impression to create a positive brand that will gain or lose customers. Make the most of the first impression by including UX design in the software development lifecycle.
In the modern business world, customer experience is king. Customers can change applications easier than ever. Creating a memorable, positive user experience creates a connection. Connections build a customer base and keep that customer base healthy and growing. More customers equal increased business revenue. The importance of winning over customers with the first impression is crucial to business success. UX design is the key to attracting, serving, and retaining customers with a positive customer experience.
Why Now Is the Time for UX Design
UX builds a positive user experience with customers by showing the business understands their needs. Positive UX experiences help create a positive reputation for customer service and keep customers coming back. Software products built without UX design often miss customer workflows, accessibility needs and fail to design with inclusive principles. When creating applications, the focus must be on the user experience.
Customers give applications one chance to provide a positive user experience. 88% of customers do not return after a bad user experience. Given only one chance, make the most of it by leveraging UX design in the software development lifecycle.
How do you know you need UX?
Consider the application’s current state:
Was the application’s UI designed by a developer?
What are the current user experience results?
Do customers love the application?
Are customers constantly requesting enhancements or new features?
Are customers constantly entering defect fix requests?
Is the application intuitive? Or is the technical support line overwhelmed with calls?
Is the application accessible to all types of users?
Does your application generate high bounce rates?
If the current user experience survey values are low and customers are complaining about missing functionality or features, then consider investing in UX design. Are you maintaining backlogs of defect and enhancement requests? Can you honestly open the app and use it without having to ask for help? If you were visually or physically impaired, can the app be used, or will users get stuck in the workflow?
Honesty is the best policy. Invest in UX design development and improve the business brand and retain a loyal, satisfied customer base.
UX design saves time and reduces costs in the long run by providing these benefits:
Reduced development, design, and QA testing rework
Increased new customer sales
Retain a loyal customer base

RD Global offers a wide variety of service options to fit your business needs. Find quality UX experts to support your work in the following areas:
Based on in-depth customer research using interviews, competitor application reviews and usability testing, we’ll find the answers to attracting and satisfying your customers.
We’ll use end-user analysis data to develop profiles or scenarios of how actual customers use the application. These fictional profiles later turn into use case scenarios for thorough and effective application functional testing.
Once the profiles are created and reviewed, we’ll create various use case scenarios for each one. Each use case scenario is leveraged to create a map of the customer journey. Customer journey maps cover all points of user interaction with your application.
The user journey scenarios are then developed into multiple sets of wireframes. Wireframes illustrate the customer journey and provide the groundwork to create a working prototype. Testing through prototypes gives you a solid idea of how the application will appear and function before investing in coding. Then, we’ll make changes to the prototype instead of recoding.
Validation testing verifies that the prototype design matches the intended use case scenarios. Testing ensures the usability of the UX design and identifies defects before the team moves into coding and development.

UI/UX Design Service – FAQs
UX design means designing applications with the user in mind, using inclusive or user experience-based design principles. UX design adds value to an application by ensuring the application functions are based on the user’s needs rather than satisfying a list of requirements. UX design creates applications that move the customer journey not only forward but that result in a positive customer experience.
UI design is the visual design of the application interface. In other words, UI design determines the look and feel of the application including graphics, button control design, link appearances, and menu displays.
UI and UX design work hand in hand. They are related, but UX focuses on the functional user experience while UI focuses on the visual experience. UX leverages customer research data to design application functionality for the end user. Using UI and UX design principles together gives an application both a functional approach while improving the visual appearance and accessibility of visual features in the UI.
UX design means the application considers the user. Without UX design, a software developer uses the requirements or user story data to create a design. A common problem is that requirements and user stories describe functionality in one direction and don’t account for different types of use case scenarios. The design becomes problematic when UX design principles are not used because the application fails to function for customers in the way they expect.
Yes! While redesigning an application due to poor user experience results in approximately 30% in additional development costs, the ROI on UX design is 9,900%.
Building customer-centric application using inclusive and UX design principles benefits business growth and revenue.
