Heal your design

A lot of companies and users have in the past been satisfied with sub-par UX and UI, but the market has since become flooded with new, state-of-the-art, aesthetically pleasing, and intuitive digital tools.

 

Companies and customers alike have started to value good UX/UI on the same level as functionality, if not more so (especially for non-corporate products). So, why is this a problem? The issue is that most companies (especially large ones) have different teams in charge of software programming and UX/UI design.

 

This ebook examines where the rift between design and development is, and how best to bridge that gap.
