• 3. How to make project go well?

  UXI Design is familiar with agile and waterfall model, we can adjust human resource and operating mode to accommodate different companies or projects. When a project start, we require background note, target audience and expected function to have preliminary understanding of the project. If necessary, we also require interviews with internal stakeholders or related clients to see the big picture.

• 4. How long does each UX/UI project normally take?

  It depends on the size of the project. Take a typical mid-sized project for example, it requires 4 to 6 weeks for research, including interview and interpretation. If the concept design workshop, user assessment or testing is needed, it requires additional 3 to 5 weeks until UI design guideline is finished. It usually takes 8 to 10 weeks to finish later UX/UI design, and it also takes about 8 to 10 weeks for front-end development and integration. If there is a large-scale project which includes integration of research and development, it possibly takes over one year.

• 5. How's the price of a UX/UI project like?

  There is no fixed price for UX/UI designs of UXI Design. Prices vary from project to project, depending on the nature or scale of the project. A good design focus on idea and details, so we don't price by volume. The price should depend on required time and content, for example, the website with clear and complete framework takes less time to design than the one at early stage. Therefore, the price will be quoted after received basic project needs. Please feel free to contact us for more price information. Generally, agile project suits time-based pricing better, and waterfall project suits project-based pricing better.

• 6. Could UXI provide with a spec work before I decide whether to engage your service?

  Each and every project of UXI Design is unique to meet the client's needs. We not only listen to client's needs, but discover potential pain point behind the needs. Due to the engaged time and manpower, there will be charge for spec work.

• 7. After the project ends, what shall we do with subsequent upgrades and updates?

  After deliver the designs, we provide follow-up design support within a certain range. Generally, you can buy certain work hours for follow-up service. Our fees will be computed based actual work hours until running out and payment is to be settled monthly. In this way, you may not worry about design maintenance.
