A collaborative process of exploration and communication, which starts with the challenges and needs of the business, and places the user at its centre.
Our team of UX and creative specialists will help realise your vision. Through a structured approach that explores and demonstrates your product’s features, we’ll gather feedback from stakeholders and real end-users, using this insight to make improvements and evolve the design iteratively.
Wherever your product is on its journey, we can bring your idea to life. We’ll run innovation workshops for key decision-makers and stakeholders, all working towards a final user interface that can be built with confidence.
What is UI/UX design?
Where we help differentiate your brand.
We understand the importance of brand identity in today’s market. We’re no strangers to developing inspiring digital products that give our clients an edge over their competitors, whether it’s through bold design or intuitive UX.
How does our design process work?
Through a consultative approach to the discovery phase, we identify your brand’s key characteristics and ensure a consistent design language is employed throughout the conception and creation of your product.
What do our designs achieve?
Our design team is fully equipped to provide you with the expertise required to ensure your product is at the cutting edge of industry standards while keeping the end-user at the core of its purpose. We don’t clutter our designs with complex UX, we believe in concise practices that ultimately lead to your users having a crisp product experience.
Showing off your brand is what you do. Helping you do that, is what we do.
We'd love to chat about your project!
We're here to help. If you've got an idea or a direct need you would like help addressing, we're all ears!
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Well if that’s true, a prototype is probably worth ten thousand.
What is a prototype?
A prototype is a low cost mockup of a product, and can be produced at varying levels of fidelity or interactivity.
But its purpose is always to aid the exploration of an idea beyond the limits of ‘flat’ designs on paper or screen.
Depending on the intended use or goal, we might prototype a single interaction, a flow or even an entire app – but in each case, we’re looking to develop and demonstrate our ideas as a tangible model we can interact with.
When do we prototype?
We incorporate prototyping into two parts of our design process: early during the discovery phase, and then again during the main design phase.
In both cases, they’re living artefacts – they continuously evolve as functionality and the user flow is explored and developed. However, it’s not uncommon for additional quick prototypes to be created at other points in a project, that examine finer details such as micro-interactions, animations or transitions.
Prototyping might also be done as part of our initial engagement with new clients. These are often put together more as an opening conversation piece, but can become very useful as the project moves into the early stages of the discovery phase.
A prototype in the discovery phase will most likely be composed of the medium-to-high fidelity wireframes we produce from initial explorations and decisions made in collaboration with our clients and project team.
These wireframes illustrate the proposed layout and functionality of the product. The prototype adds the layer of interactivity that’s needed to give a more complete demonstration of the proposed concepts. This prototype is also used in usability testing. Plus, as it mimics the functionality of the final product, it requires less introduction and explanation from the facilitator, and less imagination on the part of the participants.
As the design progresses, the prototype evolves, increasing in visual fidelity towards the final UI designs, which include the client’s branding and tone of voice. It’s visually identical to the final product in addition to that layer of interactivity. This prototype will also be used for a potential round of user testing.
How do we prototype?
We use three primary prototyping methods at Tarabostes software – each one bringing its strengths, each better suited to particular phases in the project lifecycle…
