Our expertise covers an array of areas, from simpler projects such as website building to highly complex web based applications.
Our Product Design Process service provides you with the right tools and resources to guide you through the design of any kind of web-based solution, whether you are a startup looking to develop an MVP, a scale-up looking to improve your product, or an enterprise scaling your website or digital product capabilities.
At Imaginary Cloud, we believe the process of designing a product should be user-centered integrating an innovative and practical approach that considers the users' goals, the business requirements, and a top-quality technical side.
Behind a web or mobile app’s look & feel, there’s way more than just bright and engaging user interfaces. Since UX design is a user-centered discipline, our UI/UX designers focus on the user’s journey and overall usability.
To deliver a world-class digital product, it’s recommended to conduct user research, create user personas, plan the information architecture, design flows and wireframes, create prototypes and finalize with usability tests. This is why we’ve created the Product Design Process.
By following the PDP, we ensure that no steps are skipped even in the ideation/prototype stage. It lowers the risk of finding usability issues or any other problem later on during customer’s adoption or rollout phases.
We identify the main aspects of the business model and user needs.
First, we gather evidence that will support the decisions taken henceforth, ensuring that no decision is made based on vague assumptions.
This stage consists of 3 steps: a briefing with the project's vision and goals and business requirements; user research to guarantee product usefulness and effectiveness from the user's perspective; and a design benchmark to analyze the landscape of similar and complementary products, design patterns and technologies used in the industry.
The Research stage allows us to leverage the knowledge and skills of existing players and ensure features and design differentiation in the market, and ensure customer fit.
We formulate an approach to the product based on the user's needs and the business model.
This is the core of the creative process and it is where the concept of the product is formulated based on the user's needs and the business model (both identified in the Research phase). Here, the UX designer, the product designer, and the product owner work closely together.
This stage consists of 4 steps: mapping out the user journey, by describing each user's action, with various user scenarios; a decision matrix that helps prioritize the users' and product's goals while considering the product life cycle's current stage; drawing the wireframes, i.e., the pages’ structure and navigation flow to ensure interface usability and reduce design time; and finally, a mood board to ensure that the product's look and feel conveys the desired user experience and is aligned with the user profile and market strategy.
We bring the concept to life and put it into practice.
In this stage, the product designer focuses on creating a physical representation of the concept that has been defined up to this point.
It consists of 3 steps: a style guide, where we define a graphic interface’s style, considering colour palette, fonts, image style, input fields, buttons, and so on, to ensure consistency throughout the application; a graphic user interface design (GUI) which are the end-looking screens by applying the style guide to the wireframes; and a click-through prototype to facilitate the feedback from stakeholders or potential users and investors.
We guarantee that all requirements and ideas generated are realistic to implement.
In this stage, all the work previously done should be achievable considering the available time and budget previously settled.
It consists of 2 steps: a high-level architecture where we detail how the product will be built, identifying baselines for the needed technologies and skills to make it; and a project plan to define the major milestones and provides a general understanding of the project's structure, phases, intersections and interdependencies.
