When & which UX Research method to use?

Thu, 03 Dec 2020 19:23:00 +0000

We guide you through the product development cycle and show you which UXR methods to apply in each stage.

Can you imagine you invest a lot of money into high-quality coffee processing equipment, finalize your cafe’s interior design and open the coffee shop’s doors but you don’t check the market’s needs, your competitors and, pricing? No matter how much you are into risk-taking, before investing, it is smart to find out the market potential. To get more opinions, you can invite your friends and acquaintances to check out the premises of the potential coffee place. You collect ideas, find inspiration, identify opportunities, and explore the needs of potential customers. From the UX perspective in this phase of product and service development, your goal is to understand your potential customers and identify business opportunities.

How could customers value your product if you don’t know what they need?

User experience research (UX Research) is inseparable from creating a desirable user experience (UX). UX research helps you to understand how to make people value and enjoy using your products or services. Thus, UX research can help you to achieve your business goals.

The integral part of all successful companies

Imagine that you just entered a really classy café. You can feel the pleasant smell right away — the smell of freshly grounded coffee, warm milk, and a slight vanilla scent from the candles around you. You can also hear calm, relaxing music, perfectly matching the atmosphere. You notice an emerald sofa.“Wow, what a cafe!” you think. And of course, the best moment comes when you taste their cappuccino with your closed eyes after the nice barista with a wide smile brought it to you.

Why we use Framer at Kiwi.com

Have you ever designed a map? If the answer’s yes, then you know how painful the process is. I found this out when we decided to integrate a map with our search engine on the Kiwi.com landing page. The data indicated that a map would have massive potential, however, its implementation was a big challenge.

Getting started with Framer

Tue, 29 Aug 2017 21:47:00 +0000

Jonas Treub, a Product Engineer from Framer, stands before dozens of people in one of our training rooms. It’s Friday afternoon and Kiwi.com’s Framer Workshop for designers has just begun.

Jonas travelled from the Netherlands to introduce the people of Brno to Framer — a prototyping and drawing tool for graphics designers. We started using it about a year ago when we added an integrated map to our search engine at Kiwi.com. We found that it’s a really cool prototyping tool and we wanted to spread the word because the Framer community in the Czech Republic has lots of room to grow.
