A DSign Team Capabilities and practices

To Build design which works, a company needs a team with right capability.
The team balanced with professional and personal etiquette enjoy and feel proud of their role with a clarity of their responsibilities and should be continuous learner up to date with the current trend.
Open-minded but skeptical and prompt.

Building a Design Team is not training them how to create the designs or design thinking!! It’s about identifying their roles and defining their responsibilities with the appropriate data and more conversations.

Sometimes it is very clear and sometime not, Research says team capacity can be identified by their past history or circumstances they are brought up and present situation how they coped up with all those environments.

UX designers are not required to do any sort of visual work, they are only required to think about what happens when, for example a user interacts with an element from the website. An example is if a user clicks on a button, will it display a pop-up? would it go to a new page? would it display a list? how many clicks would it take the user to reach the checkout page? can the number of clicks be improved? is the login form intuitive enough and clutter free? and the examples can go on.

Designing for accessibility may be a challenge for companies or some businesses; but while it may prove to be more difficult to create a design that accommodates everyone, it is not “impossible”. As a designer, I feel that we have the ability and the responsibility to help change how we design for accessibility.

Our websites, mobile apps or any other web applications should be designed with accessibility in mind. Resourcing our design skills while keeping accessibility in mind is what we should remember in order to design with empathy, as this is one of our greatest facets. Great UIUX is not just about how beautiful an interface looks or how well it functions anymore. It should also be measured by how well it functions for everyone in our glowingly inclusive world. Now that is powerful UIUX.

When we design for accessibility, we design with empathy.
