Challenges you might be facing

Complex user experience

As data-driven software products grow, it is common for navigation menus and other UI to become bloated and unclear for users.

As data-driven software products grow, it is common for navigation menus and other UI to become bloated and unclear for users. If you don’t have UX specialists in house, there are likely a lot of opportunities to improve usability and accessibility, releasing more value to users.

Managing technical debt

All systems accrue technical debt, but older systems built using imperative technologies such as jQuery are particularly prone to this.

All systems accrue technical debt, but older systems built using imperative technologies such as jQuery are particularly prone to this. Declarative frontend frameworks such as Vue and React promote fewer bugs, better automated testing and more modular code reuse, keeping things nice and DRY.

Development inefficiency

Older monolithic architectures can make it harder for developers to work in parallel, resulting in lower velocity.

Older monolithic architectures can make it harder for developers to work in parallel, resulting in lower velocity. Separation of concerns between backend, frontend and mobile applications can enable specialised teams to work in parallel, with each team playing to their strengths.

Elevating your product

Improving your frontend user experience will help you attract new opportunities, gain market share and put you further ahead of your competitors.

Customer hand-holding

A lack of investment in intuitive user experience often results in a high volume of customer support requests or under-used features.

A lack of investment in intuitive user experience often results in a high volume of customer support requests or under-used features. Optimising user experience enables users to see and feel the value of your product, promotes sales and frees you up from constant support requests saving time and money.

Hiring and managing teams

It isn’t easy to find talented staff or manage a cross-functional team, ensuring everyone works together towards a common goal.

It isn’t easy to find talented staff; it’s harder still to manage a cross-functional team, ensuring everyone works together towards a common goal. Partnering with specialised teams enables you to hit the ground running with experts who can take ownership of the project and deliver results.

Being able to present something very complex in a simple way without losing meaning is very difficult, and you’ve executed it very, very well. I’m literally at my inbox refreshing it in anticipation waiting to see the next designs. All of the previous issues with the speed and delays of v4 have been addressed, and our customers are delighted with v5. It is a lot faster which is down to a mixture of intuitive UX, modern code and better infrastructure. Its like Apple who have spent money on the UX/UI, and it really shows.
