UI and UX Design

Design interfaces around real tasks, clear information and usable responses to both success and failure.

01

Understand the task and its context

User experience work begins with the people performing a task and the conditions in which they work. Identify the information they need, the decisions they make and the interruptions or errors that slow them down. Include staff with different responsibilities instead of designing solely for an administrator who can see every control.

02

Make the interaction explain itself

Use consistent language, navigation and visual hierarchy. Show the current state, the next action and the consequence of important decisions. Designs should include empty states, validation messages, loading behaviour and permission limits as well as the ideal completed screen. Review responsive layouts and keyboard interaction alongside the visual design.

03

Validate with representative scenarios

A prototype is useful when it tests a specific question. Ask representative users to complete a task, observe where they hesitate and revise the design around evidence. Carry the agreed behaviour into implementation notes and acceptance checks so that the developed interface preserves the decisions made during design.
