  • CREED

    Creed of the UX warrior

    In times of great risk and uncertainty, a special breed of warrior awaits to represent our user. A common designer with an uncommon will to succeed. Forged by adversity, they collaborate across teams and disciplines to de-risk business ideas, address unmet needs, and improve our user’s quality of life. I am that warrior.

     

    Voluntarily, I accept the responsibilities of my profession and place the welfare and security of our users before my own. My ability to endure ambiguity and navigate complexity is what sets me apart. I expect to lead and be led. In the absence of orders, I shall take charge, lead my teammates and accomplish our mission.

     

    The lives of our users and the success of our mission depend on my technical skill, tactical proficiency, and attention to detail. Thus, my training is never complete. In the worst of conditions, enabling our users to shape the tools that shape their lives guides my every deed. If I fail, I adapt and iterate every time. I will not quit.

  • BENEFITS

    Good UX is good for business

    Good UX increases your revenue

    If new app / website users can't find what they are looking for within the first few seconds, you won't make sales. Worse? If competitors do a better job, you'll lose customers.

    Good UX saves you money

    Get user feedback on prototypes early in your design process to find and fix usability issues cheaply before they become time-consuming support requests after you go live.

    Good UX reduces your risk of failure

    Quickly build cheap, no-code prototypes of new product and service ideas to user test before investing time and money in development only to get it wrong after the fact.

    Good UX prevents lawsuits

    Violating government-mandated accessibility standards, even if by accident, leaves you vulnerable. Don't get sued for not adequately catering to somebody's disability.

    Good UX is a competitive advantage

    Leverage user research to better understand emerging user needs and track trends over time. Use this to build products of the future to cement your place in the market.

    Good UX can literally save lives

    In a famous case of bad UX, a hospital patient in the US nearly died after being administered 34 x their recommended dose of antibiotics due to an ambiguous form design.
