UX design

Digital

You need to make it as easy as possible for someone landing on your website to do the thing that you want them to do.

User Experience Design

We’ve all been there, and had an awful user experience. Whether that’s trying to book a holiday online, reading an article on The Sun website, or just trying to understand what it is that a company actually does.

Good UX design means users don’t get frustrated. It means you’re giving your users a great experience. And it’s more likely they’ll do what you want them to do.

What is UX design?

User experience design (UX design) is the process of mapping out the journey you ideally want your user to go on, and making that journey as seamless as possible. Realistically, most users will not follow the exact journey you want them to take, and will likely not end up doing what you want them to do. The job of UX design is making sure every page has a purpose, and fulfils that purpose, making it as easy as possible for the user to navigate the site.

User experience design is a crucial part of the website build. Without UX design, you’re building something that may look great, but ultimately isn’t serving its purpose.

UX design process

It starts with looking at how you want your users to travel through your site. What you want them to do, and where you want them to end up. If we’re starting anew, we’ll plan that journey and make sure all of your CTAs (calls-to-action) are in the right places, the website is as easy as possible to navigate, and there are no barriers in place.

If it’s more of a UX improvement project, we’ll assess four key areas: Usability, trust, emotion, and action. In this article, we go over our full UX process in detail. If you want us to assess the UX of your site, get in touch today.

Let’s improve your user experience.

01

Usability: The Foundation of UX Design

Users need a smooth digital journey. Usability, often at the heart of UX design, focuses on making your website as user-friendly as possible, removing any roadblocks that might get in the way for your users, ensuring their journey is seamless.

02

Trust: Building Credibility

Trust is the foundation of any successful website. Users need trust in the reliability of your brand, product, and values. Trust is a measure of the effectiveness of your UX design, and it heavily impacts user satisfaction / customer satisfaction, and the success rate of your website. But how do you know if you’re building that trust? Or when you’re breaking it?

03

Emotion: Creating a Connection

To provide a memorable user experience, your website should evoke emotions in users. This can significantly impact customer satisfaction, the average time users spend on your website, and the success rate of your business objectives.

04

Action: Turning Engagement into Results

Usability, trust, and emotion should ultimately lead to action, much like a successful road trip leading travellers to their desired destination. Highlighting areas that could encourage or discourage user action is vital.

Marketing Manager Softbank
Dawn Creative team is a dream to work with! We partnered up on a rebranding project for our [DMFA] website, and could not be happier with the end results. The support we've received was truly exceptional - from the initial branding workshops, development phase, all the way through to the launch. It is great to see how our vision came to life, and how the team managed to take a very simple concept, transforming it into a whole brand identity that aligns with our vision & mission.

Emma Parven

Senior Digital Marketing Manager Zen Internet
We wanted a complete web refresh with additional functionality with a planned live date within 6 weeks. I had just started working with Dawn (have worked with multiple agencies) and was sceptical at to whether they'd hit the deadline but they absolutely did. Was very impressed with the service, speed and delivery. Great job!

Andy Atkinson

Marketing Director Mutual Vision
We worked with Dawn to completely overhaul our company messaging, branding and website and we couldn’t be happier with the result! The people at Dawn led us through the process from start to finish and worked in a very collaborative way which made the project a real joy. We look forward to working with you on future projects.

Strategy & Partnerships Manager Disabled Living
The Dawn team really took the time to understand the organisation during our rebrand process, and brought imagination and real creativity to it. Communication was clear throughout. We're absolutely delighted with the result.

Emma Casson

Head of Product Marketing Apadmi
I just wanted to drop you all a note to say how delighted I am with the showreel!! It's absolutely brilliant! Thank you so much for all of your hard work and for pulling it all together so quickly. The pitch also went really well and I'm sure the video will have played a part in that.

Caroline Hazard

Marketing Manager Adidas
We really thank you for everything. Everyone loved the content you produced for our global event - it's also being used as a sell-in tool internally so it will be really helpful to the sales team. Our VP of Marketing was really impressed so let’s keep up the great work.

Jennifer Bailey

CEO Calla Shoes
The feedback we've had [on the rebrand] has been incredible - the new look and feel together with the launch of our new improved range has dramatically increased revenue this year already!

David Vernon

Account Director Candidsky
It’s been a pleasure working with Dawn from start to finish. They recently created our new brand and website, and since then, we’ve seen an increase in enquiries and had multiple compliments on our unique identity.

Don't just take our word for it

Who we work with

Brand, Digital
& Motion

We believe every brand is a sleeping giant just waiting to be awoken. To rise up and show the world what it's made of. It's our job to chip away at the stone and realise its potential.

You need a website that does it all. That inspires and informs, builds confidence and trust. That enhances experiences and turns casual browsers into lifetime customers.

How your brand moves says things words can’t. Every movement either raises hairs or raises eyebrows. Delights or deters. It's important to make every movement count.
