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.
