UX/UI design for B2B software: wireframing, prototyping and user-centred interfaces

Professional UX design pays off when many people use the software daily and acceptance, error rates or training effort are a measurable problem. If 150 employees lose 30 minutes daily to poor interfaces, that is 75 work hours per day — every week.

Yes, we implement external Figma designs. What matters is that the design is truly complete: all states (hover, error, empty, loading), responsive behaviour and edge cases must be defined. Incomplete designs lead to questions, delays and inconsistencies during development. We run a short design review before start and identify gaps

Start with a UX audit: we analyse existing software for critical usability issues, conversion killers and the most common user errors. The result is a prioritised list: what fixes the biggest pain with the smallest effort? Typically navigation, forms and error messages make the biggest difference — not visual redesign. Often 80% of user satisfaction can be improved with 20% of effort when you tackle the right problems.

Technically yes — practically an expensive mistake. Early sprint architecture decisions depend on which flows, data models and interactions the app needs. If that only emerges through development, you change architecture, not just CSS. Wireframes take 2–4 weeks and surface contradictions, missing features and UI traps before code is written. A clickable prototype can also be tested with real users — much cheaper than learning user requirements only after go-live.

Depending on project phase: user research (interviews, personas, journey maps) as the foundation, wireframes (low-fidelity structure designs) for early validation, high-fidelity clickable prototype for usability tests before development, design system (components, colours, typography, spacing) for consistent implementation, and handover documentation for the development team. What makes sense depends on project size and maturity.

Usability tests with real users are the only reliable method: 5 users typically find 80% of critical issues. We run moderated tests with prototypes before a line of code is written. That saves significantly — finding a design flaw in the prototype costs about one tenth compared with fixing it in the finished system. Additionally: A/B tests after launch for continuous optimisation.

We work with Figma for design handover: developers can read spacing, colours, font sizes and components directly. Design tokens (structured values for colours, spacing, typography) can be exported straight into CSS variables or design system code. Every component is documented with state descriptions (hover, focus, disabled, error) so developers do not need to interpret.

UX (user experience) covers the overall experience: which tasks does the user want to complete? Which path is easiest? What frustrates? — user research, journey maps, wireframes. UI (user interface) shapes the visual surface: typography, colours, icons, layout, animations. A good product needs both: UX without UI is functional but unattractive; UI without UX is pretty but unusable. We cover the full process.

Quantitative: task completion rate (how many users finish critical tasks?), time-on-task, error rate, bounce rate at critical points. Qualitative: NPS, CSAT, usability ratings. For e-commerce: conversion rate is the direct UX KPI. We recommend measuring baselines before redesign so success is quantifiable. Analytics setup (heatmaps, session recordings, funnel analysis) should be part of the launch package.
