Fidelity refers to the level of detail and realism in a prototype or design. It represents how closely the prototype resembles the final product in terms of visual design, interactions, and functionality. High-fidelity prototypes are highly realistic and aim to simulate the final user experience as closely as possible. High-fidelity prototypes (hi-fi prototypes) include visual

Well-designed microinteractions enhance the user experience by providing reinforcement and feedback. Without microinteractions, user interfaces would be dull and lifeless. Like it or not, digital products play on human psychology. When you see the flashing “typing…” in chat or social media apps, you want to stick around to see what the person’s going to say.

Wireframing is a crucial part of the design process, where designers typically complete most of the work, including information architecture, layout, structure, identifying key navigational elements, and screen transitions. The more work designers complete during wireframing, the less they do during the mockup and high-fidelity prototyping phases, thus streamlining the design process. UXPin features built-in

Form inputs allow users to engage with digital products, brands, and other users. Choosing the appropriate input field and structure is crucial for designing a good form UX so users can complete tasks efficiently. This article looks at individual input elements, the problems they solve, and how UX teams use them. We also provide tips

Scaling UX is a challenge many design leaders encounter. With limited resources, it’s often impossible to hire more designers. But even if you do have the resources, is hiring to scale a viable and sustainable strategy? This article looks at how organizations can scale design simply by switching their tool stack. We also provide an

FinTech is a challenging industry for any discipline, but especially so for UX designers. FinTech design requires designers to study financial regulations, which could differ between states and countries. These financial regulations are often detailed and extensive, meaning lots of reading before designers can even begin a project. This article explores the basics of FinTech

One of the challenges with prototyping using a design tool is the lack of fidelity and functionality, preventing designers from completing comprehensive and accurate user testing. Live-data prototypes seek to solve this prototyping issue by replicating the dynamic experience of code with data from user inputs. Designers must work with a front-end developer or UX

Without the right app design steps in place, it’s like rolling a dice and wishing for a six. Sure, the app you unleash into the marketplace may be a hit. More likely, it risks sinking without a trace because it didn’t appeal to the target audience and didn’t work the way it should. Effective mobile

Designing UI mockups is a critical part of the design process. They’re a visual representation or screenshot of how the final website or product will look. It’s the first time designers get to see their ideas brought to life with color, typography, and content. By the end of this article, you’ll understand what a UI

Prototyping is challenging for designers using image-based design tools. These static mockups and prototypes never achieve the fidelity and functionality required to get accurate feedback from testing and stakeholders. Designers often have to use several tools throughout the design process; one for design, one for prototyping, and another for testing. This workflow is not only
(…)
What Is Design Iteration? Design iteration is the repeatable process of improving a product (or part of a product) in relatively short but regular bursts, otherwise known as ‘design iterations’. These design iterations can consist of high-fidelity prototypes, mid-fidelity wireframes, low-fidelity sketches, or even simple diagrams such as sitemaps. Design iteration drives the overall design
