How I Can Help

What is a User Interface (UI)?

The aim of website development, web app development, or mobile app development is to create a user interface ("UI") that makes it easy and enjoyable for Users to interact with the digital product, whether they're browsing a website, filling out a form, or using an app to accomplish a task.

I can help you develop a web-/mobile app with an intuitive UI, which can make Users feel comfortable and confident using the product.

Intuitive UI feels natural, is easy to navigate and can be used without needing a lot of instructions. One of the challenges, while creating an app is to create such a UI, that will work well on screens of different sizes. Monitors of desktop PCs allow to place much more information into a single view than screens of tablets or smartphones. At the same time, smartphone screens allow touch-gestures and offer broader options for navigating information.

I can help you create digital products with adaptive UIs which will look appealing and will be intuitive to use independent of the device type your Users are on.

Bad UI vs Good UI

How Many UIs are Necessary?^

Digital product is often primarily aimed at the Customers: the task is to create a web-app or website your Customers can browse, login to access certain information or buy something and check-out. But how are you as a business Administrator, going to keep track of how many customers you have and what they purchased? Or how will you monitor the stock state of your warehouse?

As a business owner you shall also ask yourself a question, whether there are other people involved into your project. Shall they have the same level of access to all this information as you? Or maybe they need to be able to perform extra specific functions as Service Employeess?

Let's take a look at possible roles in a typical small company and dedicated UIs:

Customer View

UI For Your Clients

Your clients should have access to specific data, allowing them to:

  • View user profile data
  • Check their interaction history
  • Receive personal notifications
  • Explore recommendations
  • Manage preferences
  • Access loyalty program details

They shall be able to modify (or add) certain data in their personal "memory cluster" in your system, such as:

  • Editing authentication data
  • Updating status, sending messages
  • Providing feedback or filling out forms
  • Making purchases
  • Uploading images or documents
  • Customizing notification preferences
  • Managing saved items or favorites

To facilitate this, your clients need a user interface to interact with your system: Web App for Clients. Whether they use a smartphone, tablet, desktop PC, or Mac, I will make their interaction with your system as seamless as possible.

Super-Admin Board

UI For You

Running any business today, whether it's a barber shop or an online platform, involves handling a variety of data:

  • Details about your clients
  • Data on client interactions with your system
  • Information about your employees
  • Advertising data
  • Accounting data
  • Inventory details
  • Marketing campaign metrics

Handling diverse data types often means using different storage solutions. For instance:

  • Client data might be stored in Google Sheets
  • Employee information could reside in a database
  • Product details may be managed in a CRM
  • Invoices and accounting data might be stored in another CRM
  • Advertising campaign statistics could be in your Google Ads online account

The only place where all this data gets consolidated is your head: this is not comfortable at all. I can help you consolidate the data and visualize it in a user interface, Web App for Super-Admin , in the way it is most comfortable for you.

Employee View

UI For Your Employees

Let's assume you run a business and it's a bakery or a restaurant:

  • Employees have to be able to log in and tap a "Start" button at the beginning of their working day
  • At the end of the day, they shall tap a "Stop" button
  • They shall be able to correct captured date/time and leave comments

Or maybe you run a rental & service shop for photo/video equipment

  • On each of your rented devices there is a QR code
  • As soon as something gets broken, client raises a service request by scanning the QR code and filling out a form with details
  • Service worker shall log in and scan the QR code: device status shall automatically update to "being repaired", start-time shall be captured
  • As he is done, service worker shall be able to log in and scan the QR again: device status shall update to "repaired", stop-time shall be captured

Or let's assume you provide package delivery service

  • Your employees, collecting packages in different cities in country A, shall scan a bar code on each parcel: parcel shall get an ID in the database and its details shall be saved
  • Along with parcel details, information about the employee who collected the package shall be stored

For these scenarios, your employees need special access to the system. Each employee shall be able to log in ("authenticate himself") and interact with the system. Thus, you may need another user interface: Web App for Employees .

Admin View

UI For Your Admins

As your business expands with new branches, each branch managed by a separate Administrator. An Administrator will need another type of access to the system. E.g. he shall be able to:

  • View a list of managed employees
  • Assign tasks and leave messages
  • Generate reports
  • Collect and monitor employee performance metrics
  • Perform budget and expense tracking

All these tasks require another user interface: Web App for your Admins

Summary

The number of required user interfaces ("Apps") equals the number of roles in your business. Once Users have authenticated and applied for access rights needed by their roles, Admin (or Super Admin) can grant them access to a defined set of data in the system, accessible through a dedicated UI.

I will help you build a clean and scalable solution with intuitive user interfaces tailored to each role you consider!
