USER EXPERIENCE DESIGN

PREDICT, RESEARCH, DESIGN.

For a website or mobile app to meet it's business goals, it usually requires three things. They are: a great idea, easy to use interaction and beautiful interface that helps to build trust in users. We don't believe in dividing designers into UX and Graphics, so at HYPE4 every designer has knowledge from both worlds. That helps us to streamline the process and better predict how to mix a great interface with beautiful design. When building the initial prototype we can imagine the final product, so we can combine the function with the aesthetics early on and deliver a truly great product.

AESTHETICS IN USER EXPERIENCE

Some people assume, that graphics design is not really an integral part of the user experience process, but something that comes in the very end. We understand that aesthetics and visual quality help to build trust and positive feelings towards the product. Without it even the easiest to use product will not reach it's full potential. It's also important to remember that people are always judging a book by it's cover, even when they openly deny it. There are also functional and monetary benefits of great visual design - a dense table, showing a lot of data is harder to read and each row is taking a couple miliseconds more to process. That can turn into hours and then weeks in the long term. That's why we believe that User Experience and Graphics design are both parts of the same "great design" process. This is also why all our designers can do both those things and better understand the relation between the functional and the beautiful.

INTERACTION DESIGN

ONE PROTOTYPE IS WORTH A THOUSAND MEETINGS.

We believe that the easiest way to see if something works is to test it. A quick, professional and beautiful prototype can help to identify the problems and choke-points at the early stages. That doesn't mean however that we build typical, grey, blocky "mockups" or "wireframes". We found out that most users don't really understand wireframes and that affects their judgement when trying to research a prototype. That's why we build our prototypes with nice looking visuals that resemble the final product. That also allows us to test how people react to colours, icons and typography.
