In the process of digitalization of companies, many activities are moving to the Internet. Designing useful websites and web applications is of great importance. Usability (UX - User Experience) is a key element that affects the way users perceive and use the site. Therefore, it is worth paying attention to designing websites that provide positive and satisfying experiences to users.
UI and UX design are the foundations of effective websites, stores and apps.
An attractive interface (UI) attracts attention and builds a first impression, but there is more to go behind a striking visual layer.
At Hilvec, we create graphic designs that not only look great, but also realistically support business goals. Our team consists of experienced designers, combining aesthetic sensitivity with technical precision. We take care of consistency, colors, typography and details that highlight the character of your brand.
But design is not only about appearance. UX Design (User Experience) focuses on how users move around the site, what they feel and whether they finally perform the desired actions. It is the good architecture of the user experience that makes the website not only delighting, but also converts.
Therefore, we start each project with the question: What kind of experience do we want to offer the user? And only after that we select the appropriate visual means.

Because utility today is not an advantage, it is a necessity. UX (User Experience) design is not a momentary trend or an aesthetic addition to the finished product. It is a comprehensive process that combines user needs with business goals. At the heart of this process lies the question: does the user understand what you offer and does he want to take advantage of it?
The first impression determines whether the user will stay with you for longer or leave after a few seconds. Clear structure, intuitive navigation, consistent interface and speed of operation — these are the elements that build together trust. If everything works as expected, the likelihood increases that the user will not only click next, but also return.

A well-designed UX means fewer clicks, a shorter path to purchase, and a higher conversion rate. When users easily find products, forms, or contact information, the chances that they will perform the expected action increases. As a result, a page or application starts to earn, not just look.
According to Baymard Institute The average cart abandonment rate is 70,19% - this means that as many as 7 out of 10 users add products to the cart, but ultimately do not complete the purchase. This can be improved, with a well-designed UX.
Any moment of uncertainty, a non-working button, an illegible structure, the lack of a clear path of action - this is a potential point of loss. UX design minimizes friction and misunderstandings. This is an investment in fluidity and comfort use of the product. And satisfied users not only come back, but often recommend your brand further.
Behind a good user experience analysis, research and understanding of the recipient. UX design is based on data such as: click maps, usability tests, conversion paths. This is not only creating beautiful screens, but also predicting behavior and eliminating obstacles. UX begins long before the first sketch and does not end after implementation.

UX design is also Design for everyone - including for the elderly, visually impaired or using screen readers. Compliance with accessibility standards (WCAG) not only opens the product to a wider audience, but also protects against legal problems.
What's more, Google is increasingly promoting UX-optimized sites. Parameters such as Core Web Vitals, loading speed or mobile accessibility directly affect the position in the search engine. UX is also element of SEO strategy.
Investing in UX early in the design and development of your website can help you avoid later problems and costly fixes. It is better to focus on a well-designed user experience from the start than to fix problems after they occur.
It is worth emphasizing that the investment in UX should be treated as a long-term investment, as it requires systematic monitoring and improvement to ensure lasting benefits. However, if you invest in a good UX, ultimately translating into user satisfaction and success, it can certainly be a key factor in the success of your website or web application.
To design an engaging and effective UX and attractive design, we need analytical and creative tools. We research and design, then test and refine with the latest software available.
UX Design, or user experience design, focuses on creating digital products that meet the needs and expectations of users. UX design is a process that takes into account all aspects of the user's interaction with the product, in search of an optimal experience. UX designers strive to understand the psychology and behaviors of users to create products that are intuitive, easy to use, and deliver valuable and rewarding experiences.
UX design begins with the study and analysis of user needs. Designers interview, observe and analyze user behavior to identify their problems, expectations and goals. Based on the information collected, they design interfaces that are properly adapted to the needs of users.
