When to consider a UX audit
-
Reduced user engagement
If you’re experiencing a decline in user engagement, a UX audit agency can identify the source of the decline, and conduct a usability audit to provide recommendations on best approaches to increase your user engagement.
-
High bounce rates
If users are leaving your product before they take any time to explore your offerings, then this may be an indication that your product is not providing what your users are looking for quickly enough. UX audit services can help your product reduce its bounce rates.
-
Outdated design
Make the most out of redesign opportunities. UX audit services provide insights into what users would like to see the most when iterating a product. UX audits can be used to ensure that a product’s redesign is optimized for user engagement.
-
Inconsistent branding
When a product has been developed over an extended period of time without a design system in place, it’s common for inconsistencies to occur. UX design audits provide an opportunity to realign your branding to create a consistent experience.
-
Loss of competitiveness
If your business is struggling to keep up with the competition, it may be related to poor user experience. Initiating a UX competitive audit under the guidance of a UX audit agency can help identify problem areas and gain a competitive edge in the market.
-
Lack of accessibility
It’s more important than ever to consider accessibility needs in your digital products. Older digital products tend to lack extensive accessibility features, and an accessibility audit UX focused assessment can help point out where opportunities to make your product more accessible may lie. A user experience audit service can open your business up to a whole new market.
-
Technological changes
Shifts in technology can have a major impact on the consistency and efficacy of a product’s design. For example, large changes in the ecommerce space could impact a business and warrant an ecommerce UX audit. If you’re making changes to your existing technology stack, engaging DOOR3’s UX audit services helps guarantee a smooth transition to the new platform.
-
Stakeholder requests
The decision makers of your company might have opinions on out of date or inconsistent design elements on your site. If your stakeholders are requesting improvements to the user experience of your product, then contacting a UX audit agency should be the first step in creating a design refresh that appeals to both users and stakeholders alike.
-
Negative user feedback
The most direct indicator that it is time to conduct a UI UX audit is when your users are directly complaining about their experience. Feedback like this can be used to justify and jumpstart the initiation of a user experience audit.
-
Internal concerns
There are many instances of poorly considered UX on internal platforms slowing down business operations. When employees provide feedback about how using an internal product bottlenecks their workflow, a UX/UI audit can analyze where these slowdowns occur and how to design a product that increases efficacy rates.
