Sure, you can do it yourself. Why not?! After all, everything is clear in the app for you and your loved ones. Besides, your mother has sponged the information. Even the cat meowed almost instantly what it was supposed to.
But, if you want to raise money for your concept, you’ll need to hire a professional. Speaking of, kudos to our CDO Andri Budzinskiy.
User experience design is an essential element in any tech firm and in all industries.
UX influences the usability of a product. The purpose is to structure the information in a way that will be easiest for the user to absorb and interact intuitively. In fact, UX handles converting a customer to money.
Design is not a picture, it’s a business solution.
You are pretty much screwed if the design is gorgeous, yet no one can use it. You have a great idea, marketers honed it to the razor-blade and the UX designer moved it to life. It’s as simple as that.
The UX is a delicate matter. Even color usage is considered UX. There is a stat on which shade is appropriate in a particular situation. The designer uses a color scheme as one of the tools to guide users to wherever the business deems necessary. It also relies on the cultural background of the audience.
What if you don’t want to hire another in-house employee, and you still think that contractor, outsource, and remote are bad words?
What prevents you from working with a dedicated UX designer from abroad?
The main thing that makes tech startups winners is a passion for their idea — also, an irresistible desire to turn this idea into a global business.
But your passion is simply an ordinary task for an outsourcing company. It’s usually far from you and cannot get infected with your zeal.
The absence of direct contact is an issue, for sure. If you are a tech startup, your Internet connection is as fast as light, or almost at that level, it’s at least still enough to keep correspondence fluid with the in-house designer.
Nobody wants to step on anybody’s toes. You are encountering your on-site designer a couple of times a week. Plus, by some chance, maybe even in the kitchen. The same frequency and quality of conversation you’ll gain with a remote worker. Except for what kind of talk goes on in the kitchen.
So far, I’ve tried to stay out of the Outsource advocacy. Brace yourself, though, because we are slipping into the advantages of your team upgrading with specialists from abroad.
The cost of living in Ukraine is much lower. Commuting to work costs around 20 cents a day, decent food — $200 per month, house rent — $200. So, salary satisfaction is much higher even though salaries are lower.
Here’s more, the outsourced staff must always prove that he or she is worthy of the position. Since in this case, dismissal will only take about a month. There are no concessions for poor work.
By the way, here is the simplest designer work evaluation breakdown for ya’:
The designer is able to load up 3–4 developers. Also, a competent designer is not just a designer, but also a business problem-solving person:
An instructive story
Our client bought the administration panel template, which was merely a dashboard — one page. There were no reusable components, not to mention the absence of the design system.
Our job was to build the design system for the designer and the frontend engineer. Cos the organization of libraries could take over 2 hours a day. Every day. Which is not good. Not good at all.
The solution was to use the finished design system for the admin panel. Where the component’s logic is already written — take it, edit, and use it.
The client requested to start on the task but to abandon the idea if it would take more than two weeks. Having UI, we edited all the components and encoded all the necessary pages within 4 days.
To sum it all up
Broaden your mind to involve UI/UX designers from IT Outstaffing Companies.
The End.
