UX Check Guru is here: This is how UX design works today šŸŽ‰

GeschƤtzte Lesedauer: 6 Minuten

Everyone is talking about UX design. Large companies and corporations recognized the potential early on and are investing heavily in user-centric design. When it comes to standing out from the competition and being successful on the market, user experience design has become indispensable. Only very few website visitors have the patience and understanding for poor design and poorly thought-out processes and end up at the competition faster than we would like. UX Check Guru wants to put an end to this once and for all. We bring professional UX design to every company. No matter what industry and no matter what size.

What exactly does UX Check Guru do?

As experienced UX designers, we have worked in large companies and corporations where user experience design is an integral part of many projects. We have seen the potential and benefits that these companies have as a result. At the same time, we have realized that many small and medium-sized companies are not yet using user experience design. This is a shame, because the vast potential is not yet being exploited by the vast majority of companies. We want to change this and have taken up the challenge: Personal advice from UX designers while using state-of-the-art tools at manageable prices.

How does the UX Design Check work?

Itā€™s simple: once you have registered for free, you can create your first project. Projects are nothing other than websites ā€“ e.g. your company website. Simply enter the website address and click on Add.

Create your first project after registering

If everything went well, you will receive the message ā€œThe project has been successfully created!ā€. Congratulations! You have just created your first project with UX Check Guru. Not that difficult.

Free initial consultation

As a special service, we offer all newly registered users a free initial chat consultation. Whether you have general questions about UX design or specific requirements in your company. We will be happy to go through your website with you and discuss what optimization options are available. We will also advise you on which of our services is best suited to your requirements.

You can now create company goals and personas (optional). To do this, either click on ā€œContinueā€ or click on the small cogwheel at the top right of the project you have just created in the overview. This step is optional but important for the UX check. Donā€™t worry: we have made sure that you can do this quickly.

Company goals and personas

Company goals? Personas? The first is relatively self-explanatory ā€“ we would like to know more precisely what your company or project is aiming for. As user experience designers, we are (not only) concerned with visual design. So font, color, corporate design (in short: look and feel). This is important for a good user experience, but more is needed for a positive user experience. We want to know more about your users and customers. Who uses your website? Are they mainly women or men? How old are these people? What character traits do they have? What interests do they have? And what is their motivation for coming to your website (to your company)? Thatā€™s what itā€™s all about ā€“ as user experience designers, we include various factors in our UX check. This allows us to draw conclusions as to how you can optimize your website, get more satisfied customers and ultimately become more successful and increase your sales and conversions.

Company goals

In the project settings, you can create company goals and personas in addition to general settings such as sharing projects (with a public link). Simply click on ā€œNew goalā€ and add your first company goal. Donā€™t worry ā€“ we want to make it easy for you and for us. Your time is precious and so is ours. You donā€™t have to enter your entire business plan now. Add up to 3 business objectives with a maximum of 400 characters. Get to the heart of the matter. Is your company the market leader in a certain area? Do you want to establish a new product on the market? Are you looking for new employees? What are your short and long-term sales targets?

You can add up to 3 company goals. Keep it short ā€“ you can enter up to 400 characters per company goal.

Personas

Personas are exemplary users or customers. We can also call these people representatives of your target group. Are they mainly men or women? How old are these people? What are their interests and problems? What is their motivation? Why do they come to you? What problem can you solve for these people?

Try to put yourself in these peopleā€™s shoes and define them in brief descriptions. Here, too, we want to make it as easy as possible for you: Choose from a selection of portrait photos. Enter their name, age, education and role in the company. You can also add up to 6 more detailed descriptions from the areas of interests, goals, problems, motivation, challenges, requirements and expectations.

Company goals and personas are optional, but help us to make the best possible suggestions for optimization. If you have any questions or problems when creating goals or personas, you can contact us via the chat (bottom right). We will be happy to help.

Quick and helpful: Add personas to your project

Congratulations! You have just taken the first decisive step ā€“ with personas, you have arrived in the world of UX design. Youā€™ve probably thought about your target group before. But perhaps you have now come across details that you have not yet considered and that may even help you in your day-to-day business. And in the future to improve the user experience of your website.

And now?

If you have not yet taken advantage of our free initial consultation, now would be a good time to do so. Weā€™ll take the time to take a closer look with you at which of our UX packages is best for you. We will go through your website together and discuss any unanswered questions.

When youā€™re ready, so are we. Choose one of our UX packages: Premium Starter, Enterprise or Enterprise PRO packages. All our packages include a personal UX consultant. Each package includes a UX check of varying scope. From the Enterprise packages upwards, you can also share your project and the results of the UX check publicly with others. You also receive all the results in a clear PDF report (including company goals, general UX feedback and personas).

How the UX Check works

Your personal UX designer will now start the UX check of your website. We put your website through its paces on all devices (smartphone, tablet and desktop). We work with specially developed software that allows us to store feedback directly on your website. Of course, this is only visible to you once the UX check has been completed. We show you how this works in our short video. How our UX designers work:

Our UX designers put your website through its paces

And how do I get the UX feedback?

If you have not yet carried out a project upgrade, it is best to click on the blue ā€œUX Checkā€ button in your project overview. This will give you a taste of how you will receive your feedback. This will take you to the detailed view of your project. On the left-hand side you will only see a small card (as long as the UX check has not been completed). On the right-hand side is your website. Now you probably understand better what we mean by ā€œfeedback directly on the websiteā€. When the UX Check is completed, you will be informed by e-mail and can then retrieve all the feedback in this view. You can then access all the feedback in our portal at https://app.uxcheck.guru.

The completed UX Check: In the left-hand column, you can see the feedback sorted by breakpoints (smartphone, tablet and desktop) and prioritized above your website.
