Your product and design team might be missing out on some crucial UX flaws that are not making the users follow the flow you want them to. And much of it lies in the fact that you have got too close to your product to see it’s own flaws. Or maybe, your team is trying to solve for something which is not really an issue for your users.
“A brilliant solution to the wrong problem can be worse than no solution at all: solve the correct problem.”
― Donald A. Norman, The Design of Everyday Things
You very likely need a fresh perspective to help you see these crucial UX flaws in your product. This could be with your usability, information architecture, visual design, messaging, or even content.
You may need someone to understand your business strategy and goals, give you recommendations about changes you can make to your product to increase conversions and user engagement.
This is where you need a professional UX Audit done.
Understand UX flaws and get immediate recommendations for change.
Get StartedA professional UX Audit is meant to help founders, product owners, designers, and investors see their product through a fresh perspective.
Teams and organizations who would like to outsource a UX auditing team to thoroughly check and guide design corrections to an existing product and optimize their business conversions.
Team who have a digital product that is not converting and want to find and fix the problems with key user-flows to optimize their product.
Who have an idea or a prototype ready but want to have it screened through a fresh perspective before coding it as auditing a prototype is cheaper in terms of both time and money than re-coding a live feature.
Who want to support their portfolio companies with a UX partner who can help keep their product and design teams focused on incremental UX changes while not losing sight of the full customer experience.
Teams and organizations that cannot afford or even think of a full fledged design/product team and would like to take corrective measure to their products to quickly optimize their business conversions.

This step involves studying users of your product through documents of any previously done research of your users and your target audience. Understanding users’ from their perspective helps in driving design decisions.To gather this information, conducting user research is the next step into the UX audit. Personas, customer journey mapping, and empathy mapping are created to drive design decisions by understanding users’ characteristics, needs, goals, and capabilities.
