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

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

Changing the way youā€™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.
