Customer journey maps

The first step in UX design is creating a customer journey map. We collaborate with your team to create a visualization representing the ways a customer interacts with your brand in real life. Develop a deeper understanding of the role your product plays in the customer's life.

Task flow design

The second step in UX design is creating a task flow - the step-by-step design of how a user will engage with a complex process - is essential to successful conversion. Essential to enterprise-level systems. Task flow design supports user engagement and completion of key actions such as registration, subscription, e-commerce, data analysis, citizen science, and online learning. This design process will produce task design blueprints and user interface models.

Information architecture (IA) and navigation design

The third step in UX design is creating and/or updating your product’s information architecture (IA) - the backbone of your digital product. We will help your team to reorganize and relabel your IA. Navigation design provides meaningful structure to your content categories and tags, increasing your product's usability. The result: an information architecture and taxonomy document that will guide further user experience development.

User interface design

The fourth step in UX design is user interface design - the step-by-step design of how a user will engage with a complex process. The user interface design is essential to successful digital interactions, and crucial to enterprise-level systems. We focus on text and button labels, images, icons, typography, color - all the essentials of excellent UX.
