Our user-centered Product Design Process
The PDP design is based in a multidisciplinary approach where product owners, developers and product designers state all of the features and their priority to meet your project’s core requirements.
How we do it
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.

Our answers to your PDP questions
Here’s what you need to know to bring extra value to your business when building your new software ideas:
What is difference between UI and UX?
UX stands for User Experience, and it focuses on user goals and the product’s function. In other words, it pretends to understand and map how the user navigates through a product on a cognitive level.
UI stands for User Interface and is concerned with the visual and interactive aspects of the product. It deals with the product’s look and feel, layout, brand guidelines and accessibility. Therefore, UX design is closely related to user research and information architecture, while UI design is related to the graphical layout.
Why is UX/UI Design important?
UX/UI Design allows you to improve your products’ UX by ensuring that the users’ needs and expectations are met in the best possible way. Having a great product and providing what users are really looking for is a key factor to increase user confidence and engagement.
How can a UX/UI Designer help you?
Our UX/UI Designers are the most reliable professionals to guide you on our Product Design Process and help you get your product off the ground. They work closely with the product owner to guarantee that the business goals are met and make sure none of the key steps are overridden. Understanding the process and the target will ensure your product is user-friendly and functional considering users’ needs and expectations.
Why is our Product Design Process the most efficient?
Thanks to many years of creating, design thinking, and testing our expert designers developed a unique and distinct method - the Product Design Process (PDP) - that improves UX, enhances conversions, and grows business value.
We have perfected our PDP by incorporating the best industry practices and techniques alongside field experience and valuable feedback. The PDP idea focuses on consistently providing exceptional UX/UI Design while keeping costs and benefits balanced on a rapid market launch.
It consists of a structured and matured 4 phase methodology (Research, Ideation, Execution, and Technical Assessment) that ensures efficiency, reduces development costs, and plans realistic schedules while keeping in mind the project’s requirements. Our PDP Design has already been adopted by many universities worldwide, and it’s currently part of their academic programs as essential literature in Design courses.
How much does it cost to design a product?
Depending on your project needs, consider the average hourly cost of a UX/UI Designer working on your product from 2 weeks to 2 months. In case you need more detailed information, you can reach out to us and we will help you with estimations. Our UX/UI Designers will support you on your journey to success by helping you achieve your business goals through exceptional design and tools.
What are the 12 steps in the design process?
The PDP design method contemplates four different phases — research, ideation, execution, and technical assessment - that are then split into 12 steps. These steps are all part of the main framework, providing guidelines on how to design a product.
The steps consist of: 1. Briefing 2. User Research 3. Design Benchmark 4. User Journey 5. Decision Matrix 6. Wireframes 7. Mood Board 8. Style Guide 9. Graphic User Interface (GUI) Design 10. Prototype 11. High-level Architecture 12. Project Plan Learn about each step in more detail here.
