Usability and User Interface Design


We've been focused on software and user experience design for the last 12 years, and it remains core to our business today. All of our UX and UI designers are experienced in user interface, interaction and visual design and understand the technologies that power the user experiences they are designing. Our design process has been refined over the last decade to provide our customers with a flexible, streamlined process to designing software products - we tackle each project using a custom tailored approach and clear communication with all stakeholders to take an idea from a concept to a final, development-ready design.

Agile UX / UI isn't just an approach

It's a mindset

DotPhase adds agility to UX design-keeping pace with dynamic customers and agile development teams.

DotPhase was founded on the principle that design and technology must work in tandem to create exceptional user experiences. Today, this couldn't be more accurate given the speed-to-market and proliferation of devices that are providing business users with more options for productivity as well as consumers better ways to interact and engage with companies' brands. Add to the mix an increasing number of agile development teams that are responsible for implementing applications and products with speed and precision.


Our expert user experience architects and visual designers have extensive experience with traditional user-centered design best practices - from tackling the most complex transactional challenges to creating simple, easy-to-use mobile solutions. We leverage this experience and have adapted our approach-adding agility to UX design, and ultimately changing the way UX is done.
