Just a few weeks ago, we wrote about our game-changing Storybook integration, which helps designers and developers break the silos and improve the UI consistency by using code components when building prototypes. Based on our Merge technology, the integration lets you harvest the power of code, use it to build advanced prototypes faster and massively

Design thinking is a collaborative, iterative process that, over time, delivers design solutions based on human feedback. The concept combines the problem-solving basis of design with empathy for the end-user. Design thinking tools are used to facilitate this evolutionary process. Before we take a close look at some of the best design thinking tools on

Your company website is more than a collection of related pages. It’s a dynamic place where two online entities meet and interact: the business behind the site and the visitor who lands there in search of information, services to use, or products to buy. What happens in that meeting place is a product of both

When Ben Shectman came to Johnson & Johnson as a Certified Design Leader, he found useful tools for establishing visual and verbal guidelines across digital design projects. Unfortunately, the guides came as PDFs that made it challenging for designers to follow the established rules. Whenever uncertain, they would have to confirm their design choices by

These 404 page examples show how designers can turn a simple computing error into a branded user experience (UX). The earliest models of personal computers had 64k RAM or less. Programmers needed to keep things simple. They developed a classification system for program functions. Input errors got assigned to class 400. There are four class

The humble design proposal is, perhaps, the most crucial text a UX/UI designer will ever write. This document outlines your specific approach to the client’s design brief — what you plan to do and how you plan to do it. If successful, your proposal will become part of the contract you sign with the client.
When any new leader walks into an enterprise with more than a century of history—as Johnson & Johnson does—they know they must adapt to some of the existing processes. Improvements in technology, however, have made it necessary for all corporate designers to turn processes into even more efficient methods. If you start a new job

These testimonial page examples will show you how to offer social proof of a product’s benefits. In other words, when you design a page that shows visitors the wonderful ways the product or service helped other customers, they’re more likely to believe that it can help them too. “Above the fold” is the part of

You’ve heard about human-centered design. It’s one of the most omnipresent design philosophies in UX/UI. But what about user-centered design (UCD)? These two terms sound similar, but there are differences between them, and you should consider both principles when designing future prototypes. In short: Human-centered design (HCD) considers the psychological/emotional preferences of users that engage

Like a lot of companies, Johnson & Johnson once relied on a style guide to make sure designers used approved language and components. Style guides can still help brands enhance their UX, but they don’t always match the needs of larger companies. Newer technology also makes it possible for smaller enterprises to move from style

Static style guides have a role to play in keeping digital products on brand. When it comes to actually designing products, though, interactive design systems make it much easier for professionals to create products that meet project goals. Where style guides can succeed Style guides have been around for much longer than anyone creating new

Lead designers need to make sure they keep their team members on the right path. Managers have tried several methods to reach this goal, including pattern libraries and style guides. While those options have a place to play within some organizations, they don’t always provide the single source of truth that you need to optimize

At UXPin, we believe that smooth communication between designers and developers is one of the most important factors in setting up an efficient and scalable DesignOps process for your business. In the ideal world, both designers and devs

Front-end prototyping is the making of a simulation of the final design. It’s a sample of how the final product will look and feel. This gives the design team something tangible so it can assess its functions, plus it helps uncover flaws. Teams can test the prototype before investing time, money, and labor. Stakeholders can
