Responsive Web Design Process

Our web design process begins at the discovery phase where we concentrate on researching the user demographics, user problems, user goals and visualise how a user will use a product or service to generate design ideas.

Next we assume the position of the user to formulate user flow, personas, scenarios and journey maps. Based on these data we draw uo wireframes, mockups and high resolution designs which is then presented for review. Upon approval the design is converted into actual code using XML, HTML, CSS and JS. Finally the code is deployed on a server, tested, iteratively optimised and delivered to you.

The project will be broken down into milestones and modular tasks which will be led by a dedicated project manager who will coordinate a team of experts and setup a business center for you so you have a centralised place to communicate and manage your project from beginning to end.

Why do I need UI and UX design?

Your digital products, services and business in general has a small window of opportunity to catch the attention of users or customers that visit your website because in the modern digital landscape there are unlimited choices to chose from.

Impeccable UX and UI are what sets you apart from others in your industry vertical. They play a major role in capturing and keeping your users/customers, thereby growing your business and improving your revenue.

What is the difference between UI and UX design?

UI Design stands for User Interface Design. It is made up of the user interface which consists of the page, button, screen, and other visual elements you see in an app or on a website. The visual attractiveness of these elements stimulates the users to think of your business in a certain way and take specific actions while following the requirements of the brand.

UX Design stands for User Experience Design, which focuses on every detail that determines the experience of users of an app or website. The central goal of UX Design is to improve the overall experience for the users interacting with the application or website.

Both UX and UI are vital for business success online. Having UI without UX is like having a vehicle body without the engine, and UX without UI is like having the engine without vehicle body. Both are needed to have a fully functional app or website.

What comes first UI or UX?

User Interface (UI) design requires first knowing what it is that you want to design, hence it is first necessary to understand what User Experience (UX) is required, that is, what are the wants, needs and abilities of the end-user. UI is the tool that translates these identified needs into realities, while UX provides the research, analysis and evaluation of the user’s needs.

How does the UI/UX design packages work?

Before a Web template (HTML) or Mobile UI template (XML) can be created, you must first have at least a visualization (mockup) or PSD design at hand. The design as laid out in the PSD or mockup will be converted into actual code which can include both frontend design (HTML, CSS, XML) and frontend development (Javascript)

We have been chanced to create beautiful experiences for a number of clients who have now turned family. Our utmost desire is to see our client’s business flourish by leveraging on the digital opportunity to increase revenue.

Frustratingly the Website template we purchased did not work how I wanted. To shorten the launch process we engaged Smartecniqs, who quickly and efficiently developed our business website and worked out the nuances of the template. Now people look at the website and comment on how professional it looks.

We decided to outsource the rebuilding of our website and I must say Smartecniqs’ delivery of the project was timely, cost efficient and most importantly professional. I am quite impressed of the work we’ve done.
