THE UX DESIGN PROCESS
“Design and marketing aren’t just as important as engineering: they are way more important.”
Dave McClure
Founder of 500 Startups
UX is the air successful startups breathe...
As a UX designer you’re not only interested in a usable door handle. You want to create something that will encourage people to open doors and will provide a unique experience. (Marcin Treder, UX Design for Startups)
Step 1 : Define your users
Step 2 : Define your product
In the age of user experience design your startup needs to focus on users’ problems rather than on technology
only.
Step 3 : Research
Don’t daydream, don’t say “my mom wouldn’t get it”, or “well I would use it!” - reach out to your customers and ask them what their thoughts are. (Marcin Treder, UX Design for Startups)
Step 4 : User Testing
THE UX DESIGN TOOLS
A prototype is a middle-to-high fidelity
representation of the final product, which simulates user interface interaction.
