What’s the difference between UI and UX design?

UI is what people see. UX is how it works. UI covers the visuals like layout, typography, and colors. UX is about the overall experience and how users move through it. You need both to make something people enjoy using.

Why is user research important in the design process?

Great design starts with understanding your users. Research helps you figure out what they need, what they find confusing, and how they interact with your product. It’s how you design something that actually works for them.

How does responsive design improve user experience?

People use all kinds of devices, and your design needs to keep up. Responsive design makes sure your site or product looks good and functions smoothly, whether someone’s on a phone, tablet, or desktop. It’s a better experience and it boosts things like engagement and SEO too.

What role does usability play in UI/UX design?

Usability is about making things easy. Through testing, you can catch friction points before they become real problems. It’s how you make sure your design is intuitive, user-friendly, and ready for the real world.

Prototyping

With a solid understanding of your brand and user personas, we move on to the tangible creation of wireframes and prototypes. These blueprints serve as the skeletal structure of your digital interface, outlining the layout, navigation, and functionality. This step allows us to iteratively refine the design, ensuring that the core elements align seamlessly with user expectations and business objectives. The prototyping phase allows for early testing and feedback, facilitating a collaborative approach that hones in on the optimal user experience.

they absolutely CRUSHED IT

From creating and designing our entire look, logo, etc. building our website, recreating all our internal documents they absolutely CRUSHED IT. We are a 40+ year old family owned business with a rich history but certainly evolving, and our culture is the most critical element to our team. The most impressive piece of working with NickelBronx was they were able to blend the roots of our organization with the identity of the current team to build a lasting brand that we intend to stand behind for another 40+ years. Lastly - this process can be GRUELING, but working with Borzou and the team was legitimately fun and took the pain out of going through the arduous exercise. 10/10.

they are so fast and easy to work with

I’m so glad we found NickelBronx! Getting our graphics to look polished and unified was such a challenge with a remote, fast moving-team. NickelBronx lead the charge for our rebrand making it simple and getting the whole staff on board with the changes. This helps us keep quick projects in-house, but as it turns out they are so fast and easy to work with we just end up sending most of our design work to them! It feels like they are an extension of our in-house team.

The process was seamlessly executed and kept on track

Borzou and Amanda did an amazing job of helping us navigate the re-branding process. After two failed attempts to re-brand with other firms, NickelBronx nailed our logo on the first try. We’re forever grateful to the NickelBronx Team for making our logo vision come alive, while also making the experience enjoyable. The process was seamlessly executed and kept on track by Amanda (which was a feat all in itself considering the fact that we knew we weren’t going to be the easiest client to work with). They made it look easy!

We could go to 1 team for all our needs

The entire team was an absolute pleasure to work with. They are responsive to email, intelligent, creative and capable. They pay attention to details, leverage technology and work so well as a unified team to get the best results. We are thrilled with our new website, marketing materials, business cards and flyers. The fact that we could go to 1 team for all our needs was amazing. Amanda is a marketing genius and such a pleasure to work with. I appreciated her wisdom on marketing and her ability to provide guidance and her opinion, while also giving us options and flexibility.

they listened to what we were saying

We worked with a different agency prior, they wasted months and thousands of dollars delivering terrible work. I grew frustrated and impatient and looked for alternative agencies. They listened to what we were saying, filled in the gaps, sprinkled creativity and came back with incredible options off the initial call.
