The Major Challenges For UX Designers
UX Designers often take into the account some of the major perspectives of the design
viz. Information Architecture, Navigation Options, Interaction Design etc. Overall,
everything tails around achieving the usability of the design to the end users. However,
there are no hard and fast rules for UX designers that would ensure the success of the
design.
1) Balancing Functionality And The UX Design
It is one of the major concerns that bothers UX designers the most. During the design
process, it is observed that clients often come up with some customization requests or
additional functionalities to be incorporated into the design. It adds to the trouble as
during the design phase, whenever new modifications are brought, it becomes difficult
for UX Designers to create a balance between the functionalities and the User
Experience.
The Solution
One way to get rid of such trouble is to employ more designers so that one would be
following up with the clients and would suggest to the designer through other strategies.
Another way to deal with these issues is to make a separate strategy providing a scope
for any change in the design at an specific point of time during the design process. It
may have a predefined problemsolving approach and not interrupt the ongoing UX
design process.
2) Risk Factor
UX designers often fear the risk of design success. The challenges are even bigger
when the design has to be carried out for a large organisation impacting a vast number
of users. This is a common scenario in companies that lack years of experience or it
has deployed designers that do not actually possess expertise in UX design. In such
cases, both the company and the clients need to compromise with the product quality
and the associated cost.The Solution
It might be difficult for startups to hire a number of expert UX designers for quality
assurance and success. However, the positive move would be to deploy only a few
experts having the technical knowledge and work experience and hence, increase the
number of developers involved in the design project.
3) No Common Language
Developers often fail to understand the creative and intuitive requirements proposed by
the designers. In fact, it a twoway conversation.
Designers are not aware of every business reason for a project or its implications of
their ideas on development. Is is a matter of time that builds multidisciplinary fluency.
Every role has its own importance like, marketers need to think about differentiation,
developers about the feasibility, and designers to focus on ambiguity.
