USER FLOW

USER FLOW All that you feel is a GAP have been listed down.



Use LOGO, icons, symbols etc. for Identification.
Stick to all the Norms/ Regulation and law related to it design because you know brand identity must remain intact while designing.



There is this Quick way of learning XD and keeping your wireframes and prototypes ready for market.(Keeping in mind the colour Theory, typeface and pixel)

Refer W3Schools for deeper information on the A2Z process of it.

Be clear as how your Splash Screen, home Screen and Landing screen should look.Use features like Gradients to emphasize.  

TIP: Make an Information Architecture and select wireframes from UI kits accordingly.

Having the perfect Information Architecture is what makes you the best designer and for that read lot and travel a lot and get information from wherever possible. 
When ever we use an app, we often realise if it was easy to operate or not. That is because of its flow – easy onboarding, prominent important features, good infographics etc. And ya if you don’t realise that’s because the flow was really good that it never occurred to you if there was something missing.

When we are building apps and want to give the best user experience possible it becomes inevitable to understand them and provide and also place the features conveniently as they would have got it and had the flow in real life.


Example here is 

Brief- Wireframes for an app for NRE spouse or guardians for money remittance.
Persona- Not able to trust digital modes and would like to have cash withdrawal mechanism.
Importance for type of
currency, language barrier and easiest way for information on balance and withdrawals. A user flow which is conventional yet understandable.


Checklist for the same: -
1.       State all the features in order and make a flow.
2.       Write all that you want in certain features, and make the easy onboarding possible.
3.       The end and offboarding should be smooth as well and user should feel like visiting our website again and again.
4.       Make sure it (each icon) has clear way to somewhere and ends it flow easily.
5.       It is always easy for user to return to its features( like home, back to previous etc.).



And my journey in User experience is going on.........
Stay tuned for more

Information Architecture

Form a Informational Architecture- which states all the Information you want to provide in that APP. Make a Storyboard as how are you going to do that.






What is the current and what is to be proposed gather all the information.


Basically:Make a list of all the features the APP will show.

Remember, Information Architecture is different and really personalised in each case. With lots of research and data around core problem we need to figure out a way to align everything and process it strategically. In order to form customer journey maps we first need our persona in place and in-depth emotion cycle, as the companies move from business strategy to customer experience life cycle and hook its users. They need to have deep understanding of habits and behaviour of customers.

The best way and process to arrive at that is to lay down all the information gathered and process them in more homogeneous groups.

Like this is one of the information architecture I made for a project on whiskey stones.



While working during my internship, I came across a very important part of research that is to research the companies already in the domain and finding their purpose and motive to function the way they function and then come out with our own ‘WOW’ moment and ‘ AHA’ moment( as whatever you may call it)
To avoid displacing it, always choose the right way possible and for that you need be well aware and well researched.



 Ones all your information is gathered rightly and placed; trust me the further steps are easy.






And one most important thing- we generally stick to our own way of information architecture- do talk to people in the company and show the way you are heading (trust me you will get such insights which you never thought about)


All the best !


Hope this was of some help. Kindly comment your further questions.
