Elements of design process. Let’s explore a few definitions.
PXDX Studio
An interface design studio that focuses on creating comprehensive digital products. The studio develops highly tailored, original websites, web and mobile apps, and custom e-commerce solutions. The team specializes in customization, creating new patterns, user paths, 3D branding, and motion design.
Wireframes
Wireframes are basic, visual representations of a digital product or service that outline its structure, layout, and functionality. They allow to visualize and refine with the client the number of elements, functionality, and represent the user path.
Wireframes are usually low-fidelity and lack specific design details, focusing instead on the placement and hierarchy of key elements like buttons, forms, and text. They are developed using basic font styles and simple grayscale elements that mimic the placement of graphic elements, images, video and functionalities
Wireframes are an indispensable part of the design path if we are developing a new product. Based on them, both the client, designer team and development team, know the final scope of work necessary to develop the final project.
Staging
Staging stands for „Staging environment.” It is a separate and controlled version of a software or web application that is used to test changes, updates, and new features before they are deployed to the live or production environment. This is the stage in the collaboration when the design is implemented by the development team on the working server for review and testing before uploading it to the client’s server.
UX
UX stands for „User Experience.” It is all about making sure that products and services are designed with the user in mind, so that people can use them effectively and enjoyably. It’s all about how people feel when they interact with a product or service.
UX writing
UX writing is about creating effective and engaging content that helps users navigate and interact with digital products and services. Writers create copy for things like buttons, error messages, and other user interface elements, with the goal of making these interactions clear and easy to understand.
UI
UI stands for „User Interface”. It refers to the visual elements of a digital product or service, such as buttons, menus, icons, and other design elements that users interact with. UI design is all about making these elements easy to use and aesthetically pleasing, with the goal of enhancing the user’s experience.
Design System
A design system is a set of guidelines, components, and standards that are used to create a consistent and cohesive visual design for a product or service. It includes things like color palettes, typography, iconography, and other design elements that define the look and feel of the product or service.
A design system helps ensure consistency in design across different teams and projects, and can save time by providing pre-made components that can be used across different parts of a product or service. It also helps ensure accessibility, usability, and scalability in design.
