User Interface Design

An intuitive user interface (UI) and a positive user experience (UX) go hand in hand. At ALYKA, our expert team of UI and UX designers know how to create an online experience that will engage and delight your users. We’ll design an interface that appeals to your audience and makes it as easy as possible for them to engage with your website.

User experience

Users are infinitely more likely to engage with and return to a website that provides a positive user experience. When designing sites, we focus on key elements like usability, navigability and interactivity to ensure a smooth and satisfying experience for your users.

UI design

For your site to resonate with users, the visual and interactive elements must be intuitive. We carefully consider all aspects of your user interface, from buttons and icons to page layouts and fonts, to ensure users can easily navigate and interact with your site, no matter the device they’re using.

Accessible web design

We’re committed to designing websites that all people, including those with disabilities, can meaningfully engage with. That way, your visitors enjoy an inclusive user experience, while your organisation is perfectly positioned to reach the largest possible audience.

Our user interface design process for best results

Step 1: Discovery

At the start of any UI design project, we’ll meet with you for a kick-off to discuss your goals for your new site and your preferences. During this meeting, we’ll confirm the scope of work to be completed and the project deliverables.

Step 2: Requirements

Website requirements provide a blueprint for your website's design and construction. Your project manager will prepare the requirements document based on your discussions. The document will detail every template and module your site will use and will guide the whole project.

Step 3: UX wireframes

We’ll create 2.2 AA accessible UX wireframes that show you the layout of pages on your new site. These will be prototyped so you can navigate through the structure of your website and identify any critical user journey issues.

Step 4: Design

We will work with you to understand your preferences for website look and feel. We’ll then create a design that aligns with these preferences and meets accessibility requirements. Once approved, the design will be applied to the wireframes so you can see how your site will look.

Step 4: Development

The requirements and the approved design are then given to the development team to build the site. Once the site is built, our expert testing team will complete technical, functional and device testing to ensure the website is top shelf on all platforms. You’ll then receive training to populate content and also have the opportunity to test the site. When you’re happy with it, the site will be ready to go live.

Frequently asked questions

What’s the difference between UX and UI?

UX or user experience is about providing a satisfying overall experience for users while they interact with your website. It involves user research and usability testing to ensure the UI meets user needs.

UI or user interface design focuses on website look and feel, such as CTA buttons, layout, and font size. UI design aims to create an interface that’s visually appealing and intuitive.

Essentially, UX is about how a site works and UI is about how it looks.

What’s a website wireframe?

A website wireframe is like a blueprint of a webpage - it outlines the core structure and layout without focusing on design details like branding, colours, or images. It’s usually the first step in mapping out a website’s UI because it lays out the basic arrangement of key elements like headers, content sections, navigation menus, and footers. Developing and testing wireframes for usability ensures that the basic structure of the page provides a positive UX before any visual design elements are added.

What if my current branding is outdated?

A professional suite of branding collateral can fast-track your business to market or reinvigorate your existing online presence. It creates a recognisable brand identity that oozes professionalism. We offer a brand launch package where our design team will create all the assets you need to ensure a professional and modern brand identity online.

ALYKA conducted user research, validated with data, and meticulously redesigned our website with the everyday Swan customer in mind. Their commitment to accessibility and usability was evident throughout the project lifecycle. The site's intuitive navigation, clean design, and improved language have received overwhelmingly positive customer feedback since its launch. We’re stoked with the recognition of this global award.

Declan Allen Digital Coordinator Communications and Engagement/City of Swan

ALYKA came highly recommended for their expertise in website development, especially user experience. They didn’t work on assumptions. Before charging ahead with the redesign, they spent a lot of time with Business News users to understand their needs first. I think we surprised each other getting such a complex website done on time and on budget… as for quality, why not try it for yourself?

Charles Kobelke Chief Executive Officer

This website is the fruition of over a year's worth of effort in customer research, planning, information architecture, user experience design, useability testing, and content rewriting. Almost 300 community members have taken part in shaping the site via surveys, online testing and one-on-one usability testing sessions, to help us ensure it meets their needs. A big focus was on making information easier to find and read. We are so happy with the website, and we’re absolutely thrilled that Kentico has recognised it with this award (Kentico Site of the Month, August 2022).
