FAQ

Real people – prospective users – are at the center of human-centric design (HCD). This means the design team should let their needs, preferences, motivations, life situations and behavior patterns drive the problem-solving process. 

To that end, there are seven core aspects human-centric design must address: 

  • Pain points: What are the explicit and latent problems users encounter in their product use? 
  • Context: What are the life situations and environment they would use the product in? 
  • Preferences: What are the established behavioral patterns that impact how they interact with applications? 
  • Goals: What drives them in the process –such as their ambitions, aims and motivations? 
  • Root causes: Does the product resolve the underlying cause of the user’s problem, not just its symptoms? 
  • Usability and accessibility: Based on the users’ context, is the product convenient and easy for them to use? 
  • Feedback: HCD is an iterative approach to design that involves continuous learning and improvement based on user feedback. Based on that feedback, how can we create greater value with this product? 

Human-centric design (HCD), whether practiced by a human-focused web development agency or a tech startup, enhances the design process in multiple ways. Those include: 

  • Avoiding false assumptions about users’ needs and pain points by involving them early on in the systems development life cycle (SDLC) 
  • Making the product truly intuitive, convenient, and adapted to the users’ particular contexts 
  • Fostering a more meaningful connection with the user, thus driving engagement and profit 
  • Fixing the root cause of the problem rather than its symptom, and improving user satisfaction 
  • Driving collaboration between experts in various fields, from user experience testing to behavioral psychology 
  • Mitigating the risk of bad design and the redesign costs it entails 
  • Designing the product in iterations, which allows the team to improve it based on concrete user feedback 

Adopting a human-centric design (HCD) approach can impact a business model in several ways: 

  • It can help discover a pain point that competitors failed to notice or address, and rolling out its solution will result in a competitive edge 
  • It helps set an innovative product idea up for success with an excellent user experience that drives connection and engagement 
  • It can enable the transformation to a customer-centric business across the board, from omnichannel digital interactions to customer service 
  • It maximizes the product’s engagement and customer satisfaction, thus driving customer retention and profit 
  • It mitigates operational, reputational and financial risks that inconvenient, unintuitive product design entails
