How a better looking app will increase your revenue and reduce user complaints
In the nautical industry, where quality and reliability are paramount, the design and experience of your app significantly impacts how your brand is perceived.
A sophisticated and user-friendly interface enhances:
1. your brand's reputation,
2. instills confidence in your products,
3. and solidifies customer loyalty.
“When a UI is visually appealing, intuitive, and user-friendly, it reflects positively on the brand, suggesting that the company values quality and cares about its users' needs.“
“In essence, a well-crafted UI is more than just a pretty face; it's a powerful tool for building positive perceptions and long-lasting relationships with users.”
Apps like yours are new and as the enthusiasts give way to mainstream customers, they will be more demanding.
Recommended key improvements
Modern design: Introduce soft, extruded elements to create a modern, tactile experience. This exhibits a fresh, modern look that can make the app stand out.
Iconography: Update the icon set that clearly represent their functions. Consistent and modern iconography enhances the visual coherence of the app.
Microinteractions: Implement subtle animations for button clicks, scrolling and other interactions. This will improve the intuitiveness of the interface and make the app feel premium.
By investing in exceptional UX/UI, you not only elevate your brand but also drive tangible increases in customer engagement and sales.
Brand Strengthening: High-quality UI design reflects on your brand's quality. A sleek, modern appearance builds trust and cements your reputation as a leader in the nautical industry.
Enhanced User Engagement: A well-designed dashboard guides users effortlessly to the most important functions and features, showing you understand your user’s needs.
Less support, higher user satisfaction: Intuitive design built by professional team = fewer user errors, confusion, less crashes on various devices, resulting in lower demands on your customer support team and decreased operational costs.
Investing in great design doesn't have to break the bank.
Our approach shows that with the right expertise, achieving a million-dollar look and feel is possible without a million-dollar price tag.
This investment into stunning design with us is usually ROI positive. The cost reduction from support and maintenance and revenue increase resulting from higher customer engagement and satisfaction more than pays for the design and engineering.
Real life example from A Client
Less about cost,
more about value
During the implementation the UX testing with real users accounts for minor, but important details that make or break the whole app experience. This process enables you to provide your employees with a redesign which they feel a part of from the beginning, thus vastly improving their perception of the newly updated app.
