Why You May Need UX Research
Low User Engagement
If your product or service experiences low user engagement, it’s a clear sign that users might be dealing with difficulties or frustrations. UX research can uncover these pain points and provide insights on how to enhance user experiences.
High Bounce Rates
High bounce rates on your website or app suggest that users are leaving quickly without meaningful interactions. UX research can help pinpoint where users are dropping off and why, leading to improvements that retain users.
Negative Feedback
Consistent negative feedback from users indicates usability issues or unmet needs. UX research can identify the root causes and guide improvements that address these concerns.
Lack of Conversion
If your conversion rates are lower than desired, UX research can identify barriers preventing users from completing actions, such as signing up or making purchases.
Competitive Struggles
If your competitors offer more user-friendly alternatives, it’s a sign that your product might need a better user experience. UX research can help you catch up and surpass your competition.
Unclear User Pathways
If users struggle to navigate your product or find key features, UX research can clarify user pathways, improving information architecture and ensuring intuitive interactions.
Feature Overload
Too many features can overwhelm users and make your product or service hard to use. UX research can identify which features are most important and improve the user experience.
Limited User Data
If you lack data about user behaviors and preferences, UX research can provide the insights needed to design and tailor your product effectively.
The Power of UX Research
What is UX Research?
User Experience (UX) research is a systematic process aimed to understand users’ behaviors, preferences, and interactions with products, services, or digital platforms. It involves methods such as user interviews, surveys, usability testing, and more, to gather insights into user needs and pain points.
Having a primary and decisive position within the development process, UX research defines the direction to user-centered design. Uncovering user behaviors and motivations, it equips businesses with the foresight to anticipate user expectations and address their pain points. From describing user personas to validating design assumptions, UX research empowers informed decision-making, optimizes development, and contributes to a deeper connection between users and products or services.
Why is UX Research important?
In today’s competitive environment, delivering exceptional user experiences is no longer an option but a necessity. By considering UX research, businesses can avoid costly redesigns, reduce usability issues, ensure alignment with user preferences, and ultimately create offerings that can succeed in the market. UX research empowers organizations and businesses to:

Real case of UX Research
OpenAerialMap redesign project is a bright example of insightful UX research in our portfolio. We applied human-centered design thinking methodology to gather users feedback, understand their needs along with pain points and propose design solutions that can help OpenAerialMap to become an ultimate tool for drone and satellite image publishing and analysis.
During the redesign project, after interviewing stakeholders representatives and feedback analysis, we found problematic areas of the product, made prototypes with design proposals and tested it with real users. In the future, results that we’ve got can be taken by design team to develop approved solutions and transfer it to development team.
Methods and project results are fully described in the blog post.
