One of three network users makes a conclusion about the company based on the appearance of its site. Therefore, you shouldn't think of the design as just of a nice bonus or a good picture.

If your site does not sell, it is worth conducting a design audit, because users complain about a bad site in only 1 case out of 26. More frequently, they just go to competitors and do not return.

Good design starts with practicality

UX (User Experience) stands for the experience the user gets from working with the interface of your site.

If the user does not see a direct path to achieve his goal while on the site for the first few seconds, he will simply leave it. The user can be confused by anything: navigation, content, location of elements.

UX design is:

  • user interaction with the interface, which leads to the goal planned by the developer (purchases, logins in, familiarizing with the information, etc.);
  • development of click algorithms and conversions for proper usage of a web resource.

The structure of the finished site should make it as easy as possible for customers to perform targeted actions and resonate with the company's values.

If the design is improvident, it will definitely affect the efficiency of the company, because 88% of users avoid returning to the site they had an unpleasant experience with.

We`ve got a practical site. Now let's take care of beauty!

UI (User Interface) is a graphical implementation of ideas and solutions that were approved at the stage of UX analysis. In other words, it is an interface adapted to the needs of the user.

While UX is a user experience, information architecture and functionality of the site, then UI is a competent design of elements: for example, the location of buttons, the color scheme of the site, a united icons` style, shapes, blocks and more.

UI purposes are:

  • simplification of perception of site`s architecture and its boxes;
  • visual typing of page elements;
  • facilitating the perception of information on the site;
  • achieving the aesthetic appeal of the corporate identity of the site.

What's more important: UX or UI?

When working on the design, first pay attention to UX, and then UI, because before you create original buttons or experiment with fonts, you should develop a convenient and understandable product.

To understand the role of UX and UI in creating a site, you can imagine a brand new smartphone. UX will determine what parts we need (panels, buttons and cameras) and how they will work. But the UI will be responsible for smooth shapes, beautiful materials, a harmonious combination of all the elements that should be in the smartphone: camera, buttons, headphone or charger jacks. And for making your smartphone look like Apple, not Meizu, for example.

UX and UI are a holistic process, the quality results of which attract the audience and are in charge of positive presentation of the company's services. 

The result of high-quality UX and UI can be described in three points:

  • simple navigation;
  • emphasized the value of the offer to the user;
  • a clear goal of the conversion during the first visit to the site.

How to Write a Technical Specification for a Website Without Delays in Development
How to write a technical specification for a website so that everyone understands what it is about? In fact, it’s simpler than it seems. A technical specification is a document that describes exactly what needs to be created, why, and by what means. No complicated terms — it’s a translation of your business goals into a language developers can understand without clarification. Imagine the situation. You say: “I need a website to sell products.” And that’s it. For business, this sounds logical. But for the team that will build the site, questions pour down like rain: do you need a shopping cart, which payment methods will be connected, what will the product page look like, should there be integration with CRM? If these answers are not in the technical specification, the process resembles a game of “broken telephone.” Someone misheard, someone assumed, someone did it “as they saw fit” — and instead of a clear product, you end up with complete chaos. The right technical specification for creating a website saves both time and money. When there is no document, every new detail becomes a surprise: the client remembers an extra feature, the developer reworks it, deadlines fly out the window, the budget grows. And no one is really to blame — it’s just that the agreements were never fixed. Typical mistakes in a technical specification for a website are overly general phrases. For example: “make it modern design” or “add a form for clients.” For business, this may sound clear, but for the developer, these are empty words. What kind of form? A callback, a product request, or a newsletter subscription? And what is “modern” design — minimalism, bright colors, or a copy of competitors? It is precisely this uncertainty that leads to endless revisions. When there is a clearly written structure of the technical specification for website development — with blocks for functionality, design, integrations, goals — the process becomes manageable. Developers know what to do, the client knows what to expect, and there is no feeling that the project is living its own life. A technical specification for a website, an example of which we will analyze further, shows a simple truth: a well-prepared document is not bureaucracy but insurance against chaos. With it, the website is delivered faster, clearer, and without unnecessary costs.

Does a business need its own app in 2026?
A business app is not just a picture on a smartphone screen. It is a small but very powerful tool: it can become a sales channel, a place for communicating with customers, or even an assistant for internal processes. To put it simply, a business app is your company in a customer’s pocket. Do you remember the times when mobile apps seemed like a luxury? A business had a website, social media pages — and for most, that was enough. And an app? It looked like a whim for big brands. But everything has changed. Today, developing mobile apps for business is no longer an exception but a common tool. And the question “website or mobile app for a company” comes up almost at every meeting with business owners or marketers. Looking back at the last decade, apps have gone through a huge transformation. From simple calculators or catalogs — to full-fledged ecosystems. Today, people buy tickets, order food, talk to doctors, or study online through apps. Yes, a website is still necessary, but it is no longer the only point of contact. Why do we emphasize 2026 so much? Because the market has matured — and even become oversaturated. Each of us has dozens of apps on our phones, and no one wants to install another one unless it brings real value. The competition has become fierce: without an interesting idea and solid implementation, any app will quickly “get lost.” And yet, the demand for convenience hasn’t gone away. On the contrary — people want the simplest possible experience: one tap, and the result is here. This is where the main question arises: does a business need its own app in 2026? There is no single answer. For some, it will be a growth driver, for others — a waste of money. That is why another, more practical question is heard more and more often: “how can a business understand whether it should create an app?” If we look at the mobile app trends for business in 2026, we clearly see the direction: personalization, integration with voice assistants, and quick access without endless clicks. The question now is not “whether to make an app,” but “how to make it so convenient that people keep it among those few icons they actually use every day.”
