UX DESIGN + USABILITY TESTING

Our UX design agency turns your vision into an intuitive, accessible app

MindSea’s UX design process starts by understanding your users and the outcomes you want to achieve. Using human-centered design principles, we’ll then translate those insights into an interactive prototype that brings your vision to life prior to a full app build.

Common challenges

  • Confusing user flows that frustrate users and stall onboarding

  • Every design is built for accessibility and inclusivity, with a deep consideration for your users needs.
  • Usability testing with real users refines flows until tasks are clear and intuitive.
  • You’ll walk away with a clickable prototype and detailed roadmap to win support for a full build.

FAQs

What is the timeline to for a Blueprint UX design sprint to have a fully functioning prototype?

The MindSea Blueprint process typically lasts about 10 weeks from start to finish. We begin by mapping out the user stories based on the functionality you’d like your app to provide to various user types. Then, we take the user stories to wireframe or block out the app screens and functionality. After reviewing the wireframes together with you and your stakeholders, then we develop into high fidelity visual designs applying your branding and styling, and from there work it into a functioning clickable prototype. We test the prototype with users and share the designs along with a final report, development roadmap, and a pitch deck you can use to secure further stakeholder buy-in or funding.

What accessibility best practices do you consider in mobile UX design?

We design for accessibility from the start, following WCAG standards for screen reader compatibility, color contrast, and touch targets. Every interface is tested for usability across age groups, from youth to older adults, to ensure inclusive user journeys.

What metrics are most important to track after a mobile app UX redesign?

After a UX redesign, we track retention, task completion rates, session duration, and user satisfaction to measure engagement and ease of use. For health and research apps, we also monitor drop-off during onboarding, data entry accuracy, and accessibility compliance to ensure the redesign improves both user experience and research outcomes.
