Redesigning Digital Product: Behind the Scenes of Why, When and How Mar 05, 2023

Changing the way you’re doing the same inks the product or services you propose to the customers you are targeting. And to stay on top, you should always analyze your product and find the ways and specific problems which you want to solve and which will prompt you to consider the redesign.

Reasons for redesigning vary depending on the specific marketing goals of your business, the most common reasons are to rebrand your site, increase traffic, generate more leads, and add functionality to improve the user experience.

According to Taylor and Francis's online research, it saves zero to 5 seconds for a customer to like or dislike the digital product. So it is no longer a trivial task. A simple design update can be compared to painting a car a different color, replacing a cracked window, and cleaning up the cabin. Product redesign in the same car analogy means comprehensive and research-based improvements under the hood, such as a braking engine, fuel distribution system, or transmission settings. Although not immediately apparent, this modification significantly impacts the driving experience.

WordPress VS custom Website: How to scale from WP to custom software Dec 09, 2021

Figuring out the right time to say goodbye to WordPress and finding out how to do it painlessly.

One day you may realize that you need to scale to make your business larger and to add more functionalities. And then, most definitely, you will face different kinds of technical limitations from WordPress.

Things will get fuzzy, you won’t know what decision will be right, as you will probably be the one with a business model that works for years and brings you some money. Well, don’t worry, it’s a very common situation. WordPress might be very good to start with, but not good enough to continue.

WordPress is the CMS system that was originally created as a block publishing tool giving people the ability to make their own websites easily, fast and cheap. Social media weren’t so popular back then, some of them didn’t exist at all, so people were happy to share stories on their own sites.

According to the latest data, 35% of all the websites in the world are developed with WordPress (this is huge!). There are two main reasons for that. First, it is very simple. Any person without engineering knowledge can understand how it works. Second, the installation is fast and cheap. But...

👉🏻 Why it may actually be not the best solution for your business

How Apps Make Money: 8 Proven Strategies Nov 04, 2021

It's not a secret that app development costs a lot of time and money. But when you see how much revenue free mobile applications can generate, you understand the development expenses justify themselves.

So, how to get into the Top 200 free apps market? Usually people are willing to spend more when they have a free opportunity to try the app rather than to pay for it when they haven't opened it before. People go inside your app, they see the value, they can receive some emotion from using the app, and then they are ready to spend some money in it or on it.

When users get this pleasure from using your applications, they're actually ready to spend a few bucks on some perks that your apps give. When it comes to the app categories, the most popular one is games, making the biggest amount of money revenue. And still non game apps make good money too, a good example is Tinder, a dating application with a freemium model.

Now, when you know what kind of team you need, check our the list of questions you may ask your potential partners before you start working with them on your digital product.

Of course, the thing is not only in asking questions, but also in giving some information about your project. If you just write “Hello, contact me”, the answer will be the same. Be ready to send the file with some project details and materials before the actual meeting, so that the company can evaluate you as a VIC (very important customer).

Such materials can be:

1) Project idea in details, product type, industry, high-level functionality.

2) Problems the product solves.

3) Any concepts, templates, wireframes made.

After your potential partner sees the file, both of you are ready for the first contact. Now it’s time for you to ask your questions, and we hope this list will help you to get the most important information.
