    Frequently asked questions about UX/UI Design

    • UX Design (User Experience Design) is the discipline that deals with designing the overall experience a user has when interacting with a digital product. It includes user research, information architecture, wireframing, prototyping and testing. The goal is to create products that are useful, usable and enjoyable to use.

    • SparkFabrik has a dedicated team of UX/UI designers who work closely with developers and clients. We design user experiences for web applications, mobile and Digital Experience Platforms. Our approach combines design thinking, user research and Agile methodologies to create user-centered products.

    • UX and UI are complementary but distinct disciplines:

      • UX Design: deals with overall experience, flows, architecture, usability

      • UI Design: deals with visual appearance, colors, typography, icons, animations

      • UX answers 'how does it work?', UI answers 'how does it look?'

      In our team, both disciplines work together to create products that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

    • Costs vary based on complexity:

      • Number of screens and user flows to design

      • Need for user research and testing

      • Creation of reusable Design System

      • Level of detail in development specifications

      • Support during implementation phase

      We offer discovery workshops to define scope and budget. Contact us for a customized quote.

    • Our design services include:

      • UX Research: user interviews, surveys, user testing

      • UX Design: wireframes, user flows, information architecture

      • UI Design: visual design, design system, interactive prototypes

      • Design System: reusable components and guidelines

      • Accessibility: WCAG audits and remediation

      • Workshops: co-design and design sprints

    • A Design System is a centralized library of reusable design and code components that ensures consistency across all of a company's digital products. It's important because:

      • Ensures visual and functional consistency

      • Accelerates development with ready-to-use components

      • Facilitates maintenance and updates

      • Integrates accessibility by design

      We design complete Design Systems with documentation, storybook and code integration.

    • Accessibility is an integral part of our process:

      • Accessible design from the start (WCAG 2.1 AA)

      • Testing with screen readers and assistive technologies

      • Verified color contrasts

      • Keyboard navigation

      • Audits and remediation of existing products

      We help clients comply with the European Accessibility Act and AgID regulations for public administration.

    • Design-development collaboration is fundamental:

      • Design delivery in Figma with complete specs

      • Design tokens for consistency between design and code

      • Structured handoff sessions

      • Continuous support during development

      • Iterative reviews to ensure design fidelity

      Our team works in Agile sprints integrated with developers for rapid feedback.
