  • Information architecture and user flow: Developing sitemaps, navigation systems, and content hierarchies, so users can efficiently find information and complete key tasks.  
  • Wireframing and prototyping: Producing low-fidelity sketches and interactive simulations of the actual product to validate design concepts early and downstream rework. 
  • User interface (UI) design: Crafting the product’s visual design system, including the color systems, typography, and layout to ensure brand alignment and interoperability. 
  • Usability testing and iteration: Asking actual users to try the prototypes or live experiences to gather feedback and identify and resolve friction points before development.

  • Standard UI/UX design projects for websites or mobile apps typically span 3 to 5 months, due to the comprehensive research, user testing, and iterations involved. 
  • Larger and more complex projects, especially those involving extensive user research or multifaceted SaaS platforms, can take over 6 months.

  • Conceptualization and wireframing can span 1-2 weeks, and include IA, user flows, and navigation systems. 
  • Visual design and prototyping may need 2-3 weeks, depending on complexity (e.g., using UI Kits over creating from scratch) and availability of brand materials. 
  • Testing and iteration may require 2 weeks or more, depending on the feedback loop and testing volume and depth.
