Most designers often delay in seeking the users’ feedbacks at early stages. In fact, they opt for suggestions after completion of the project that often delivers damaging results. Developing a responsive web design relies on survey as well as market research and behavior research that help in planning the designing strategies. Beginning the research in the end makes no sense at all. Market research collects data based on users’ opinions, whereas behavior research observes the actual performance of the products or services in the markets. The behavior research is also called ‘listening to the heart approach’. Therefore, developers looking for the reasons why users run into difficulties, must opt for online testing methods for this approach.
Many designers might not agree to the point of taking feedback beforehand, as it might lose the credibility of the project. Paper and code-less prototyping are working-methods which can collect the insight from the users at the early stages without issues. A team of designers must adhere to the habit of testing every single idea throughout the development cycle. Experimenting, exploring and coming up with new ideas are the basic rules of designing; but, if someone is not taking the feedback on a daily basis then assume that the project is headed for a dead-end.
- Discover the issues with a designed product (web page or website)
- Check for the users’ feedbacks on it
- Once the issues are validated, create the rapid prototype solutions
- As soon as possible, deploy the improved versions to collect the feedback again
