Beyond Aesthetics: Challenges in the World of UI/UX Designers and How You Can Solve Them

What is the first thing that makes the users remain glued to the website? There can be various things that might come to your mind including the availability of the product you are looking for, customer care, etc.

However, the crucial part of any website is its UI. UI/UX design stands at the forefront, acting as the silent ambassador of the brand. Just as the saying goes, the first impression is the last impression, the same holds for web apps and mobile apps. A well-crafted and visually appealing UI/UX design can leave a lasting positive impact. However, the journey from conception to execution is rarely straightforward.

Designers and developers work in proximity to bring out an extensive application that aligns with the business's vision. Designers envision a user interface and developers translate that into reality through the art of coding. It implies that the power to build an application rests in the hands of developers.

Recent research highlights the critical role UI/UX design plays in user perception, revealing that 94% of the users form an impression based on the design. This means that along with the crisp information, it is imperative to have a user-friendly and appealing design.

However, as we said the path from inspiration to implementation isn’t always smooth sailing. This is what the title of the blog means. Beyond the aesthetics, there are problems that UI/UX faces. There exists a gap between design and development.

There can be some communication gap between designers and developers that can lead to inaccurate outcomes. No point in guessing, what this can lead to. Timely delivery of the product is also one obstacle that they face since the application is made using coding. And, we are all familiar that developing a product through coding takes a lot of time.

Additionally, the designers often feel a restriction in the whole process. How? There are situations where designers visualize a certain theme or template, but developers are unable to bring that to life. There can be various reasons behind it, but the consequences often lead to clients getting frustrated and unsatisfied.

The Solution

The question is how you can solve these challenges. You might have heard about no-code tools. Recently, it has become the elephant in the room. Why? It has its benefits and the most significant is that it enables even designers and other non-techies to build and deploy applications. That’s right!

It is democratizing application development, and bridging the gap between design and development. No-code platforms are getting a lot of traction and most businesses have already started opting for these efficient and productive tools.

Let’s break down how UI/UX challenges are simplified using no-code platforms. UX designers build interfaces, themes, and elements that are stored on these platforms. Post which anyone regardless of coding or non-coding knowledge, can build applications.

This also solves the problem of delivering the product timely compared to the traditional method of coding. No code allows designers to quickly test and make changes if necessary. You do not have to write codes again. Instead, you can configure, and voilà the changes are done.

Additionally, using no code also has other advantages. One of which is that it saves time and money. Developers do not have to spend much time on coding and can now concentrate on more intellectual work. Conversely, designers can be as creative and bring their ideas to the canvas with real-time previewing. Money? Well, you do not have to hire hardcore coders to build applications that can cost you lakhs of rupees.

All that being said, beyond aesthetics, there are challenges that UI/UX designers face that are often due to the traditional way of building applications. However, this can be solved by using no-code platforms, making it easier for both parties.

Remember, an appealing website or app can make or break a deal. So, it is important to focus your attention on the same along with other things.
