The Real Cost of Not Having Professional UI
Professional UI will add up to cost savings in the long-run.
A recent client hired WebTigers after attempting to build their web user interfaces using their backend coding team. Initially their reasoning was, “Why do we need to spend the extra money on a front-end person? Our Java guys can handle the UI. It’s just HTML.”
Well, as it turns out their “Java guys” had no experience in graphic design or design tools; no experience in business communication; and their CSS and Javascript skills were inadequate for cross-browser support.
Once the CEO saw the end result, the misaligned interfaces, how the pages rendered differently between browsers, the “klunky” way the interfaces responded, and how “ugly” the screens looked, he sent the whole project back with instructions to make it look professional.
That’s when they called WebTigers.
WebTigers to the Rescue
WebTigers are multi-skilled, multi-talented front-end engineers capable of taking a project from concept design, to wireframe, to graphic design, to fully functional front-end product. The WebTigers consultant can handle everything on the front-end while your Java or .NET engineers can spend their valuable time on important backend functionality.
If our above mentioned client had brought in a WebTigers consultant from the outset of the project, WebTigers would have saved them a lot of time and money not only in the cost of revisions of the project’s design, but also in streamlining the UI workflow, creating a more professional end-user experience and by producing UI code that was much more extensible and modifiable later.
Better Code Now. Easier Updates Later.
Our client’s CEO was very pleased with the end result after a WebTigers UI consultant was brought in to upgrade their application’s UI. We introduced a number of UI technologies that allowed them to create a more stable, extensible, functionally agile, not to mention better looking, product.
Exceptional UI is not just about pretty graphics, it’s about workflows and what the end-user experiences while using a web -based interface. It’s about cross-browser and cross-platform compatibility and ease of doing updates and revisions later.
In the long run, a WebTigers consultant can save you time and money in developing a UI that your clients and customers will be happy and impressed to use.
