Today, people primarily use smartphones to handle their tasks. Especially, they use ‘mobile applications<\/strong>‘ on their smartphones. You can do almost everything in everyday life with apps, such as calling a taxi, ordering food delivery, handling bank transactions through mobile banking, and grocery shopping at the supermarket. Now, smartphone applications have become an essential tool for businesses to gain a competitive edge<\/strong><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is Application Design?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Application design<\/a> is the process of implementing visuals to help app users easily achieve their goals. This includes optimizing the user experience(UX) and focusing on the look and feel of the user interface (UI).<\/span><\/p>\n


UI refers to visual elements such as colors, shapes, fonts, font sizes, microcopy, and images, which determine the appearance of things. On the other hand, UX focuses on usability and functionality, such as where to press to find what the user wants, search bars, category navigation, and other functional elements.
<\/span>
In other words, application design not only encompasses how it looks but also optimizes the functionality and experience to make it easier for users to achieve what they want!<\/span><\/p>\n

Why is Application Design Important?<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u201cApplication usage accounts for 90% of total smartphone usage<\/span>.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0
<\/b>There is a reason why companies develop apps and provide them to users. With the global popularity of mobile apps, in most cases, businesses create applications for their purposes as the number of app users among existing or potential customers increases<\/strong>. Application design should enable users to easily achieve their goals, and it’s not just the presence or absence of an application that matters.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“About 25% of users only use an application once after downloading it and never use it again<\/span>.\u201d<\/span>
<\/span><\/p>\n

Even if a user downloads an application, if there are flaws in the application design that make it difficult to use, they ultimately won’t be able to achieve what they want<\/strong>. Users will delete unused applications and eventually switch to competitors’ apps that provide a better user experience. According to statistics, about 25% of app users no longer use or even delete an application after using it once due to application design flaws or a degraded user experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0
<\/b>To prevent these negative outcomes, where customers leave, companies must invest in application design with responsive, easy-to-use, and intuitive UI to increase conversion rates!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Application Design Process<\/span><\/h2>\n

Before embarking on actual application design, you need to clarify the purpose of providing the app to users<\/strong>. Refer to the following step-by-step process to create a customized application design targeting your main users.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

STEP 1: Clearly define the purpose of the application<\/span><\/h3>\n

The purpose of subscription-based service apps, such as music listening apps or meditation apps, is to help users find what they want more conveniently and use the app more frequently. In contrast, the ultimate goal of retail business applications, such as shopping malls, is to encourage users to make actual ‘purchases.’ Therefore, the first step in application design is to clarify the application’s purpose<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

To do this, consider the answers to the following questions:<\/span><\/p>\n
