Usability, according to design a module for a product we almost forgotten about to let first concentrate over the actual usability of the product.

More and more designs can give a better glimpse of user on behalf of the product that they are using. But the centric constraint is how user is going to use a product in many different scenarios. Small companies who can not afford both UX and UI designer separately have only one guy who decides how user will drive module and how much that module looks good at all.

In this case a guy can not focus to core usability what expected from product to drive thim though. He just focused to do how can he achive a ruff mode of the module and happy scenario what every one else thinks to be done.

Lets take an example if we need to develop a messaging application, and only one guys is about to responsible for fix UX and design UI as well. Then as a UI designer a guy will more focused to create things more beautify and clear. But for a user to understand usability might not covered more as expected to be done.

He might forgot to focus on easy access for resources of device to add in messaging, may not cover quick response access as per AI etc.

That should be first step to get focused and according to it UI designs should be fixed. Usability has a lot value for any of a product or service. By giving service it also a part of product for a product so always consider application as a product for you to give a better touch as possible.

Usability needs more research of targeted audience time of use, behavior, mood and importance of things what they looking for. Comparatively designer has to do a job to present equal important UI elements to justice that research.

Sometimes true research get failed cause of bad decisions taken for designs. Like wise color, animations, interactions and many more. All this things should have some linear solution what includes each era of different workouts.
