In digital products, user experience (UX) and user interface design(UI) have gained importance. Businesses today need to look for more than creating beautifully appealing user interfaces by working towards making their digital products inclusive of all-around accessibility and usability. Digital experiences are becoming much more user-friendly thanks to the latest UI/UX design trends, raising the bar for this industry.
UI/UX design accessibility is a way of designing interfaces so that they can be used by everyone, regardless of disability. This involves developing for users with visual, auditory, motor, and cognitive disabilities. By making accessibility a priority, businesses will be able to expand their consumer base while confirming that they stand for all-inclusiveness.
Virstack in recent years did a project on the educational platform, where they made sure an app was accessible for people with blindness. The platform was thus made accessible to all students with disabilities, through features like compatibility for screen readers and alternative text in images.
The goal of usability is to create digital products that are truly easy to use. Creating intuitive interfaces with clear navigation and response interactions. It is this focus on usability that helps improve user satisfaction rates, boosts conversion, and reduces bounce rates.
Case study: Ready-made health apps by Virstack paid attention to usability because their recognizers are not carvers on the Internet. It used big buttons, simple to follow instructions and the page was very easy to navigate around — this created a good experience for users of all ages.
Voice User Interfaces have entered into great demand by the public, especially for individuals with motor impairments or visual disabilities. VUIs enable users to interact with digital products verbally, which in turn democratizes technology by letting more people access it.
This will include dark mode and high-contrast themes designed to minimize eye strain, while also improving readability for those with visual impairments. Many applications have meanwhile incorporated these themes and users can choose the most appropriate display mode for them.
Digital products are designed responsively to work the same, whether viewed on an iPhone or large desktop monitor. With scalable design, users can increase or decrease text sizes and interface elements according to their needs — this improves accessibility for visually impaired people.
An inclusive design applies practices that keep the needs of all users at the forefront right from initiating a concept to completion. To this must be added the realization of usability tests with other people, from various demographic factors and also designing for different skills: data.
Microinteractions are essentially sensitive animations or feedback that guide the user through an interface. They add an intuitive feel to interactions, and give the user immediate feedback — thereby improving usability as a whole.
We think that good UI/UX design is much more than the look. It is about making digital interactions that everyone can access, use, and enjoy. To keep up with design innovation, our team is focused on developing products anyone can understand.
The company launched a new e-commerce deployment with one of its retail brand customers, creating an entirely accessible platform out-of-the-box for those with physical challenges using Virstack. The solution was designed from an end-user perspective; and included but was not limited to keyboard navigation, and support for alt-text and voice command implementations that made the platform accessible only. A 100% accessible shopping experience for everyone.
