Design is the silent ambassador of your business, have you ever heard of that? You want to make sure your business ambassador is a good one. So what it takes from app design to boost the business?

    The UX should be clear, never complicated. You will know it is clear when every non-tech savvy people understands the flow and how to navigate. Keep in mind, you want it to be innovative, captivate, and user friendly.
  • Sense of Belonging
    The first mission is to make users download your app then we need to retain them. How? One of the tactics is to build a community-feels around your users. Let them know that they are using the same app with their people. Give them with interaction tools, so they can communicate with each other and create looping feedback.
  • Customer Minded
    Never ignore the concept of supply and demand. Your app design should follow what users want. Otherwise, it would be useless for your audience. You can ask these questions to yourself before proceeding :
    - Do you offering any tools in your app?
    - Do you selling any services in your app?
    - Is your app renewable?
    - Is your app expandable for the future to retain your user?
    - Do you offering an instant solution for some problems?
    If the answer is yes to any questions above, then you good to go.
  • Easy to Start
    Sometimes the designer made mistakes in giving information at once, which might overwhelm a new user. Make sure the initial process of using your app is easy for users. Show and explain to them how to use the app step by step and clearly.
  • Curated Content
    Filling the app with useless content will do no good. Avoid cluttering your app with unworthy content. Follow the trend, for example, the most popular approach in design these days is minimalist. Then you can streamline your content to make it look sophisticated.
  • A/B Testing
    To make sure how users feel about your app, you can conduct A/B testing. There will be two sets of users and given two different variations of the screen. These sets of users should be from non-techy people.
  • Data-Driven
    You should keep your app updated according to user feedback and the latest trend. Make sure to review your design base on user feedback. Use available tools to analyze the feature.
