UX mobile applications

The volume of mobile traffic is growing, and the demand for high-quality mobile applications for all occasions is also increasing.

But the competition is also becoming more fierce – dozens of applications can exist for the same task, and the least thought out, convenient and functional ones leave the market.

Therefore, it is so important to devote sufficient time to designing and creating prototypes of a future product that can be tested before the application development stage.

Even before the application code is written, the project goes through the following stages:

• target audience definition;
• design;
• creation of technical specifications based on the project;
• prototyping and design.

Design includes answers to some important questions. For example, what will be the MVP for the application, or the minimum viable product – that is, the minimum that can be released to the market. Also, design helps to determine the necessary labor costs, the architecture of the project and the approximate time frame for implementation.

When designing, scenarios of interaction between the application and users are developed, UX / UI design is thought out. In other words, at this stage it is necessary to solve the key tasks – what and how will work.

For this, a use case diagram, or use case, is drawn up. It is part of the use case model, the conceptual application model that forms the basis for scenarios. Scripts are generated in Moqups – a service for creating UX / UI mockups.

At the next stage, the structure, architecture of the server database and the interface of the future application are designed. Based on the conceptual use case model, you can create all the screens in your application exactly as the end user sees them. Then they choose the technologies with which the project will be implemented.

This determines, for example, whether the application will be native or cross-platform, what loads the server should be designed for, what applications will have the potential for future scalability and integration. Without the project, all this would have to be solved “on the knee,” with inevitable mistakes, cost increases and delays.

Having a quality design helps the development teams to work together. Thanks to this approach, the development time and cost of such an application can be predicted in advance.

On the contrary, a high-quality design and prototype will shorten and simplify the development and implementation stage and save resources. But above all, they will provide an effective and necessary tool for the target audience just in time, thanks to which the application will gain commercial success.
