Great design doesn’t happen by accident—it’s the result of a structured, user-focused process that transforms raw ideas into intuitive, beautiful, and functional digital experiences.

At ESM Global Consulting, our UI/UX design process ensures that every app, platform, or interface we build is grounded in strategy, shaped by empathy, and polished with precision. Here’s how we turn vision into reality.

1. Discovery & Research

Before a single pixel is placed, we dive deep into understanding the who, what, and why of your project.

We ask:

Who are your users?
What problems are we solving?
What are your business goals?

Our tools & techniques:

Stakeholder interviews
Competitive analysis
User personas
Journey mapping

Goal: Define clear objectives and uncover user needs.

2. Information Architecture & Wireframing (Lo-Fi Design)

With the foundation set, we move into structure. Low-fidelity wireframes sketch out content hierarchy, navigation, and functionality without the distraction of visuals.

What we deliver:

Sitemap
User flows
Lo-fi mockups using Figma or Adobe XD

Goal: Validate structure and flow before design details.

3. High-Fidelity Mockups & Visual Design

This is where the magic happens. We bring your brand to life with pixel-perfect screens that showcase the final look and feel.

Deliverables include:

Color palette, typography, and branding
Fully designed screens for mobile and web
Interactive prototypes for presentation and testing

Tools used: Figma, Adobe XD, Illustrator

Goal: Create a visually cohesive and engaging user experience.

4. Usability Testing & Iteration

Design isn't done until it's tested. We put our designs in front of real users (or your internal team) to gather feedback and identify areas for improvement.

What we test:

Navigation ease
Task completion success
Visual clarity

Process:

Moderated or unmoderated testing
Iterative updates based on results

Goal: Refine and optimize based on real-world use.

5. Developer Handoff & Implementation Support

Once designs are final, we package everything developers need to build exactly what was envisioned.

We provide:

Design system and style guide
Annotated mockups
Development-ready assets

Support includes:

Collaboration during build
Design QA and reviews

Goal: Ensure seamless transition from design to development.

6. Post-Launch Optimization

After launch, we don’t disappear. We continue to monitor user behavior and iterate on the design for ongoing improvement.

We track:

Analytics & user feedback
Heatmaps & click paths
New feature integration

Goal: Keep your digital experience evolving with user needs.
