Ask HN: I'm working on my first iOS app. How do I handle UI/UX design?
Should I hire a mobile designer? What would that cost? How important is investing in good design? How long would a typical design process take for a straight forward task application?
- Piskvorrr 14y agoFirst of all, start reading here: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/userexperience/conceptual/mobilehig/Introduction/Introduction.html http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/userex... (It's important to have at least a basic understanding of the platform's UX guidelines, even if you leave the detailed work for someone else.)
- jacksondeane 14y agoIt depends on how polished you are looking to get and how much experience you have with Photoshop/Illustrator and general front-end development. If you are simply looking to get some iOS experience, you should be able to hack together the UX/UI yourself. If you are trying to launch a business, design will be imperative for success. Show me 1 poorly designed, truly successful App in the App Store. Like everyone says now-a-days... I'd suggest focusing on the MVP concept and build just the core features, with excellent design and UX.
