What is digital design?
Digital design is the term that serves as an umbrella for all design disciplines you can go through to arrive at a successful design ready for development. Depending on the challenge, existing resources, budget, and time, a joint decision is made on how to organize the digital design phase.
Digital design phases at Digital Natives
To achieve a strong design for your website, digital service, or platform, you need to find a good balance between research and creativity: powerful visual design based on years of experience and a contemporary vision.
Good design always starts with people. It is important to understand your audience well, to know what choices they make, and to see how they interact with your product or service. We do this through interviews, screen recordings, and product walkthroughs.
Together with end users and people from the organization, we create stakeholder maps, customer journey maps, and digital service blueprints. This gives us direct insight into how we can improve your product or service.
In all our projects, we translate the key insights from the new strategy and the research into accessible prototypes that we present to your customer. This allows us to adjust and validate at an early stage whether we have made the right choices.
UX designers focus on designing valuable moments. They translate the journeys and insights into a tangible user experience. All layers of the experience take shape, including the structure, the flow, and the functions. The foundation for the content and the story is also laid.
The visual designers digitally shape the brand, the visual language, the product, and the behavior. This can start with a branding process in which the foundation for the digital identity is laid. After which the brand is translated into a visual interface and content design of all screens and steps that occur within the product.
Ultimately, the entire digital design is delivered within a design system. In this system, all values, elements, behaviors, and rules of a digital product are documented in form and code. The design system thus encompasses every aspect needed to quickly and effectively create new digital products or make extensions. It is therefore a super powerful tool for a sustainable and scalable future.
Main design principle: it starts and ends with people
Digital Natives has been a leader in the Netherlands for over ten years when it comes to digital design. Our strength lies in humanizing a service or product through design and thereby increasing its impact. This is achieved by involving people in the design process and prioritizing ethical questions that put people first in the user experience.
