While developing sites and applications, you often see that the design is drawn beautifully. Still, when it comes to implementation, the developer has to puzzle over how to bring the design into reality.

We sum up here key difficulties in working with design from the developer's view, as well as those tricks that make the life of a developer easier.

What frustrates the most?

Changing the Order of Components in the Mobile Version

We create an HTML skeleton and change it upon style properties. If there is one block in the design on the mobile version and another on the browser, both elements are in the HTML skeleton, and styles are hidden for different versions. For example, if in the browser there is a picture, and under it, there is a text, and in the mobile version it is a picture under the text, then this is not a problem; there are properties in the style that can change the order. But when the structure changes are too complicated, such as a picture appearing in the middle of the text, you need to devise a solution to build the ability to display it this way. Therefore, it would be great to avoid it incase it is not very critical for UX.

Different Spacing Between Identical Items in a List

Any sequential elements usually have the same properties (for example, menu items), and the style is typical for all to have less code. And when you see, for example, three buttons in a row, and between them, there is one indent of 20 pixels, and the second is30, then we spend time clarifying whether this is so or wrong.

The same is with the sizes of icons, which are also in the list; if 1-2 icons are knocked out in size, then you need to spend extra time processing them.

All Design Components Are Arranged According to Logic and Not Scattered Around the Space

It's good when the finished design is somehow structured in columns or horizontally. When they are randomly scattered across the canvas, it seems that the design is still in progress. This makes it difficult to view the application logic, making it difficult for a Project manager and the customer to find the desired screen.

But in addition to all of the above, there is something that makes our life easier and brighter: the UI kit

This is the most beautiful and helpful thing a developer can take when bringing a design to life.

The Block With Inputs, Buttons, and Dropdowns Helps a Lot

If these elements are separately drawn in different states, regardless of size, it significantly reduces the development time and further testing.

‍Fonts and Colors

It is handy to indicate all the headings of a specific style in the project and text in blocks of another. This will help when one person starts the design but his colleague has to replace him and finish the project. A block with all the project colors is not required, but it can be helpful. This will protect against the appearance of 2 or 3 shades of red, with validation errors, for example.

Based on our experience, we are sure that these points will help with the optimization of work among both developers and designers and reduce the time for clarification during development. And designers will not be pulled with clarifications and will continue to create beautiful things.

The Value of Prototyping in the Discovery Phase: How to Test and Validate Your Ideas

Prototyping is one of the most valuable tools in the Discovery Phase of product development. It allows you to test, validate, and refine your ideas before significant time and resources are invested in building the actual product. A prototype helps you visualize how a product will work, gather user feedback, and identify potential issues early in the process. When done correctly, prototyping can save a lot of time, money, and effort by uncovering potential problems before they become costly mistakes.

In this article, we’ll explore the importance of prototyping in the Discovery Phase, the different types of prototypes, and best practices for using them to validate your ideas.

From Idea to Launch: How the Discovery Phase Sets the Foundation for Long-Term Product Success

The Discovery Phase is the most critical stage in the product development process. It lays the foundation for every subsequent step, helping teams understand the product’s potential, market demand, technical requirements, and user needs. When done right, the Discovery Phase increases the likelihood of long-term success by ensuring that your product aligns with business goals and solves real user problems. Skipping or rushing through this phase can lead to misaligned expectations, wasted resources, and products that miss the mark.

In this article, we’ll explore the importance of the Discovery Phase, the key activities involved, and how it sets the foundation for a successful product launch and long-term sustainability.

MVP vs Full Product: When to Scale Up and How to Do It Right

The journey from a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) to a full product is a critical phase in product development. While an MVP helps you test your idea with minimal investment, scaling up to a full product involves significant decisions about features, infrastructure, and long-term viability. Knowing when and how to transition from an MVP to a fully-developed product is crucial for ensuring that your product not only meets market demand but also succeeds in the long run.

In this article, we’ll explore when it’s the right time to scale up your MVP and how to approach the transition strategically, so you can avoid common pitfalls and maximize your chances of success.

The Importance of User Research in the Discovery Phase: How to Get It Right

User research is one of the most critical elements in the Discovery Phase of product development. It sets the foundation for building products that genuinely address user needs and solve real-world problems. Without a strong understanding of your target audience, your product runs the risk of being irrelevant, confusing, or underutilized. In today’s competitive digital landscape, getting user research right is essential for creating products that stand out and succeed.

In this article, we’ll dive into why user research is so important during the Discovery Phase, the key methods for conducting effective research, and how to use the findings to guide your product development process.

How to Build an MVP That Validates Your Idea Without Wasting Resources

In today’s fast-paced digital world, the concept of a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) has become essential for startups and established companies alike. An MVP allows businesses to test their ideas quickly, gather user feedback, and iterate based on real-world data—all while minimizing time and resources. But how do you ensure that your MVP validates your idea effectively, without wasting valuable resources or building unnecessary features?

In this article, we will explore the steps involved in building an MVP, how to focus on what matters most, and how to make the most out of the resources you have.
