Sequential Product Design
We guide you through a detailed discovery and design process, turning ideas into comprehensive, ready-to-develop mockups and prototypes with our systematic design approach.
Transform your visionary ideas into ready-to-build blueprints.
Every groundbreaking product begins as a visionary idea. Yet, the journey from inspiration to execution can be mired in ambiguity without the right guidance. FullStack Labs' approach to Sequential Product Design focuses on turning early ideas into actionable, development-ready plans.
OVERVIEW
Why Choose Sequential Product Design
You have a development team that thrives on clear, visual documentation and you want to be sure that the solution you choose will meet your users' needs.
See Your Product Before It’s Built
With a design phase, you are able to see your product come to life through clickable prototypes that demonstrate the complete functionality.
Craft the Right Solution
Our design team will iterate on many possible solutions to find what works best for your business. This can only be done at the rapid pace that design allows for.
Develop with Confidence
With a completed product design phase, we can provide an accurate estimate of both the cost and timeline for developing the app.
PROCESS
How Sequential Product Design Works in Practice
Our step-by-step process encourages early iteration and provides opportunities to test designs at progressively higher fidelity levels.
Discovery
In the discovery phase, we build mutual understanding, collect pertinent information, synchronize our strategies, and set the stage for the transformative journey ahead.
User Experience Design
This phase delves into the user's perspective, creating a seamless, user-centric journey that blends functionality with engagement.
Technical Discovery
We ensure that our app's blueprint aligns perfectly with a powerful, scalable, and agile technological foundation.
User Interface Design
Transitioning from the core structure of UX, we move to the visual aesthetics of the User Interface (UI). In this step, we breathe life into the wireframes, enhancing them with colors, typography, and graphics. We ensure the digital interface is not just functional, but also engages and enchants the user.
Prototyping
Prototyping serves as our digital playground, where we simulate user journeys, validate our design hypotheses, and engage in iterative improvements. By allowing stakeholders and users to interact with a virtual rendition of the product, we enhance, reevaluate, and rejuvenate our designs based on concrete feedback.
Prepare for Development
Once the design phase concludes, our design team meticulously documents every design artifact. This ensures that the development team has a clear foundation to construct an accurate estimate for the subsequent development phase.
TIMING
How Long It Takes
Our standard project timeline spans between 1 to 6 months. For more comprehensive projects, we tactically divide them into stages, enabling the development of one stage to begin even as we progress with the design of subsequent stages.
4-8 Weeks
Small projects with a limited feature set and a user experience for one type of user.
2-6 Months
Projects with a robust feature set and user experiences that differ based on roles and permissions.
Longer if Necessary
The timeline may be longer for more complex projects. In these instances, we split the engagement into phases, working on design and development concurrently.
TEAM
Your Team at a Glance
We typically recommend this team structure, though other team members may be added if necessary.
DELIVERABLES
What You Get
Our product design engagements result in deliverables that ensure your product is ready to build.
UX Documentation
Comprises a suite of materials and records crafted by our UX designers during the design process. It's a way to encapsulate, relay, and guide the design of user-centric digital offerings. The documentation features research insights, design artifacts, guidelines, and reviews, all of which bolster consistency, guide decisions, and streamline collaboration between the design and development factions.
High-Fidelity Mockups
Detailed and pixel-perfect visual representations of a digital product's user interface. They include precise design elements, colors, typography, and interactive components, providing a near-final visualization of how the product will appear and function. High-fidelity mockups are typically used in the later stages of design to guide development and ensure the accurate implementation of the user interface.
Clickable Prototypes
Visual and interactive demonstrations of the exact functionality that users will experience. The development team will use these as references when building the app.
Development Estimate
At the end of the product design engagement, our development team has the blueprints necessary to accurately estimate the timing and cost of a development engagement.
