STEP 1

Discovery Phase

Exceeders company addressed us with an urgent task: to create the design for the Exceeders app, which aimed to connect businesses with hundreds of IT providers.

The app had to go live in just 2 months at GITEX – an annual consumer computer and electronics exhibition in Dubai.

In a record time of a few weeks of intense work we managed to:

• сonduct several stakeholder interviews;

• prepare quick wireframes;

• test our design solution with users;

• improve design based on user testing results.

STEP 3

Design

Within our limited time, we were able to create about 80 screens and tested the main flows with users.

The exhibition was a huge success, and the Exceeders application spent weeks trending top 10 in Playmarket.

After the exhibition, we continued our work on the app design. Our main focus was on the development of other personas flows and working on a web version of the product.

STEP 4

Design System

The Exceed product portfolio includes 12 applications and we designed or re-designed 6 of them. To be cost-effective and fully re-use components and styles across different in-house applications, we created a hierarchical design system that allows for quick re-use and adaptation of core design elements used within the master application. Later, design assets created for the Exceeders app were extrapolated to 6 more applications (ESP, Excedeers, Higher, MIM, Simple Strata, StemeXe) on different platforms (iOS, Android and Web).

We built the design system hierarchically to include components for all the platforms. The main system design library contains text styles, colors, fonts, input fields, and buttons. Plus, each library has separate web and mobile components.

STEP 5

Dev Support

As soon as the design was implemented by the developing team, the next step was the Design Quality Assurance phase. The team conducted 6 design audits. Currently, the collaboration process with the developing team is still ongoing.

Great customer experience doesn’t happen by accident. We are not limiting ourselves only to design itself – iterative approach, validation of our solutions with the actual user, and verifying implemented design towards mockups make it possible to ensure the best results.
