Using the most accepted and acknowledged industry techniques, and with a thorough understanding of the latest tech tools, Appnovation is able to design solutions that are both intuitive to use, as well as tailored to match the specific tasks that users are trying to complete.
Our UX design process consists of five phases:
Define - Clearly defined scope of work, including acceptance criteria and KPIs to measure the success of projects
Gather - Getting to understanding your business and users, to uncover insights
Ideate - Exploring our research to understand and prioritize a strategic plan, to define, direct, and impact your objectives
Create - Implementing the plan through digital, design, and development solutions
Validate - Gathering user feedback to test the effectiveness of the solutions
Defining Scope and Success Criteria
We start every project with a set of workshops, developed and designed to familiarise us with your business and your industry, meet stakeholders, and understand your overall digital needs.. Appnovation’s experts, in close collaboration with your team, will define how success should be measured, and what critical criteria should guide our design thinking.
By breaking down the needs of each relevant stakeholder in your company, we can ensure that everyone that needs to be involved in the project remains engaged with the process, ensuring that the end solution meets all defined business objectives.
It's important to us to get to know our customer, in depth, enabling us to tailor-make project plans to fit customer needs, and have a clear definition of the scope. We don't impose unnecessary activities and deliverables, preferring to consult you, which allows us to do what will add the most value to the final outcome.
Our discovery phase allows our team of strategists, researchers, designers and analysts, to engage with project stakeholders, define business requirements, set expectations and delivery timelines.
Our ultimate goals is always to align stakeholders, to create a shared understanding of any problems the project may encounter, how they will be resolved, and how success will be measured (KPIs).
UX Research and Data Gathering
In order to deliver your digital solution, we first need to understand who we’re designing for...and want the goals are. Through research, and a deep understanding of user and business needs, we identify what to focus on.
In order to deliver your digital solution, we first need to understand who we’re designing for...and want the goals are. Through research, and a deep understanding of both user and business needs, we look for insights that help us identify what to focus on.
Using a tried and tested, pragmatic approach, Appnovation's experts will assess how and where existing data, tools, practices and assets can help us in ongoing development and design.
From our UX research and insight generation arsenal we use:
- Competitive and comparative analysis
- Analytics review
- Ecosystem mapping
- Heuristic evaluation
- User interviews and surveys
- Persona development
- Experience mapping
- Service design blueprints
Our team uses personas and user journeys to map out and test the information architecture, all prior to code development, to test and refine the experience in the most efficient way. We are always committed to choosing research techniques that meet the project needs and are cost-effective, so a win-win for our clients.
Using our time and resources wisely, our gathering phase will generate relevant insights, and discover knowledge gaps that will inform and underpin design decisions, all of which are backed by real data, rather than personal preferences and assumptions.
Appnovation is a company that is aware of the competitive, ever-evolving digital landscape, which is why we take the time to assess your industry competition, where you are in the current climate, and where you want to be in the marketplace.

User story mapping workshops and creations of user flows for various scenarios reveal the full spectrum of features and functionalities and highlight technical needs. With possible features and user tasks in mind, we create sitemaps to illustrate a high-level IA and navigation structure for the new or redesigned application.
Along with the content modelling, we develop wireframes to visualise the overall structural architecture of the site, describing what content types are used on the site, and how content is organised and linked. Using wireframes, we illustrate high-level interaction design features.
