What is User Experience (UX) design?
Design has moved on from thinking aesthetics is all that matters to audiences – it’s also about how people use your product. If a website’s beautiful yet takes forever to load; if customers get lost and confused in a site that’s hard to navigate, then you can lose your audience. UX design argues – and so do we – that user experience be the determining factor for how a website or product is delivered.
Every dollar spent on UX brings between $2 and $100 dollars in return*
UX Design is a research-based practice that’s emerged as a way to eliminate assumptions. It gives businesses the confidence to know that money spent will deliver the results they seek.
At Rock Agency, UX-based research and design forms the foundation of how we create websites and web apps. Our highly skilled UX designers take the time to understand both your business goals and your audience’s needs; then we work to align them. The result becomes a highly-considered digital product – one that’s engaging, seamless and intuitive for your audience.
On the business side, a thorough UX design process protects your investment – it increases acquisition, builds loyalty, allows for scalability, provides longevity, and increases revenue.
