Application and UX Development

UX Development and mobile application development outsourcing - redefined

Till few years back, OEMs bank on the list of features of their product, web site or mobile application to differentiate themselves. But today, however rich the functionalities are, products reach among the customers is primarily dependent on its aesthetics and ease of use. Even the cost factor has become less significant when compared to the pride in owning a stylish gizmo. Thus to create a truly successful product, it is crucial to adapt User Experience engineering aspect as a part of product development.

UX Development

Embien understands the importance of incorporating the thoughts of the user during a product design to ensure high adoption. We do a detail analysis on the target customers, create user personas, and undertake a studious design process. For each stage of UX Development process, we collaborate with the customer to have maximum impact. Whether it is choosing the color of the UI or type of materials for the enclosure, the design choices are communicated along with full pros and cons of that approach. Customer feedback is incorporated and rapid prototypes/designs are created. Usability testing is also done in each stage to ensure that the final user experiences joy in using the product.

With deep understanding of customer behavior and domain dynamics, we have create winning products across different industry verticals differentiating with its usability, performance and rich UI. We can localize and customize them for different geographies and in different languages.
