You might have already read our previous articles about the contextual inquiry models. These models help you to discover user behaviors and their pain points. As rich as the data collected from contextual inquiry can be, your team should spend some time together to define which gap to tap into and what solutions to offer.

Contextual Inquiry I: A Dip into the Ways of Organizing Results

In the last post, we introduced the effective contextual inquiry as a research method to help deepen the designers’ understanding of the end user needs. Expanding on this research method, we move onto how researchers would use the collected data to ultimately improve the usability of the product.

Design Research in Kdan Mobile
Good design is the key to any high quality app and services. At Kdan Mobile, we take broad design research approaches to create excellent user experience. In this series of posts, we will reveal the research tasks behind the app development process. We will explore topics that span from basic concepts of design research, research methods, and UX delivery.
Building Amazing User Experience
A positive user experience does not come naturally, it’s the result of long-term observation and careful research. Before going into the research methods, we break down the mobile app development process into 4 stages- Discover, Define, Develop, and Deliver.
An Invitation to Join the Other 60 Million
Back in 2014 we had this bold idea to move every single one of our packages to the Kdan Cloud services, with a commitment to serve our customers better. We envision a drastic change in the industry and we were among those that created the bandwagon. Tech Crunch saw what we did and gave us the recognition, calling us an alternative to the substantially more expensive Adobe creative solutions.
Two months after our Cloud App Series launched on App Store in July 2015, we’ve piled up over 30 million downloads worldwide.
That number climbed up to 60 million today.
If you still wonder why others see us as the integral part of the next generation of digital content creation, we want you to ride with us.
Here’s what we offer: Continue reading “An Invitation to Join the Other 60 Million”
