Many million people around the world use mobile applications developed by top mobile app developers to perform daily operations, both personal and professional. With that being said, the success of the most mobile application depends on how great the mobile app design is made. We can break down mobile app design in two parts, UI design, and UX design. UI (User Interface) and UX (User Experience) are two different but interrelated things. A user Interface is the feature of a device which allows a user to interact with an application. You can also say that it is an intermediary between a machine and a user. The goal of any UI design it allows smooth interaction of the user with the application. Both UI and UX are two sides of a coin; hence we need to have a look at UX before we proceed further. UX, on the other hand, is the process that determines us the point of view of the user on how the application feels to him. Although both UI and UX designers design an application, you can think UI designers as the makers of micro-interactions and UX designers as the architects of macro interactions. Mobile App Design Process • Planning: Planning helps a mobile app development company to understand your requirements. The analyst team understand clients requirement and choose a way to implement the requirements. • Market Research: Now market research is extremely important as you need to know your competitor features, target audience, the color combinations to be used in the application and most importantly the technologies you will use in building the application. • Specification approval: We always make sure that once we are done with research we share the technologies we will use in making design and development of the application. On approval of the client, the design process starts officially. • UX Wireframing: UX designer makes wireframes which can be made through sketches or tools like Photoshop and many others available. Wireframe or sketch shows how the flow of the application will look like. • Prototypes: Once the Wireframing is done, the live design of your future application is made which shows how the application interacts on clicking on any icon or button. • UI design: UI design is made by UI/UX designer depending on the skills of the designer. Once a prototype is approved, UI designer has to make the application look beautiful, choosing correct color combinations for target audience maintaining consistency. After this, the UI design is bombarded with animations which are tested on the application. This is how it works with most of the Top Mobile App Developers. Let us now discuss the importance of UI design in an application’s success. Understand UI and its elements Now that we know that UX design is generally done prior to UI design, let’s have a look at reasons why UI design defines the success of your mobile application business. A good UI is a mixture of seamless Visual design, interaction design, and Information architecture. Visual Design The visual design increases the beautification of a mobile application by implementing elements like colors, fonts, and images. Great visual design enhances the app’s beauty without compromising with the applications necessary functions. Interactive Design The interactive design helps to understand how users interact with technology. Then those interactions are used to create an interface with behaviors which are discussed earlier. This shows how app elements will respond and in what manner. Information Architecture It helps to find the information that users require in a structured, labeled and organized the manner in an application or website. This makes it easy to understand the sub features of the application’s components. Q. Why UI is so important for Mobile Application? • UI builds Customer Confidence User Interfaces are built with having an idea of what the client wants and how you can beautify the application features so that customer on using the mobile application developed by your mobile app designer gets emotionally attached with its usability. This determines whether the user will use your app for a longer period of time or will just uninstall it faster than installing it. • Good UI Means Less Confusion An application which contains components and elements which are not user-friendly leads to confusion. An ideal example would be to bombard your application with many push notifications which disturbs user more than providing him any comfort. • Consistency in UI Design is Important While building your UI for the application, make sure there is consistency maintained in UI design. This is to make sure all the elements are uniformly aligned in the app. All the colors and their gradients must look both beautiful and in proportion. This helps in developing trust in a user about applications reliability, familiarity, and control. • Good UI Increases Customer Conversion Using common colors, symbols, buttons, font style, and icons makes it usable and easy to access. If elements are arranged in simple style with easy language and visuals, there is no reason your mobile application will not be successful.
