We usually build MVPs from scratch, but sometimes, customers come to us with their own developments. This was the case with SOAK \u2014 they came to us with a ready-made design, but the layout was missing important details.<\/span><\/p>\n

First, we will do a little dive into the customer\u2019s business and their request. This will help you understand everything we will talk about later.<\/span><\/p>\n

Context: developing an app for e-cigarette sellers<\/h2>\n
Our task was to create an app for SOAK distributors. They display electronic cigarettes and POD vape devices in their stores and consult customers on models and flavors.<\/span><\/p>\n
According to the client\u2019s idea, the app should help sellers better understand the world of e-cigarettes \u2014 they complete tasks, get prizes for correct answers, and thus, increase their knowledge about the product.<\/span><\/p>\n
$\"Application$ <\/a>
App with gamification elements: sellers take a quiz about e-cigarettes and get prizes for correct answers<\/p><\/div>\n
The app was designed by a SOAK in-house designer. They just asked us to help them with the development. But when we immersed ourselves in the task, we realized the layouts needed refinement, otherwise there might be difficulties in the development stage.<\/b><\/h5>\n
By the way, not long ago we told you about the development of a PWA application for Plonq, an e-cigarette manufacturer.<\/span><\/p>\n
In this project, we helped the client\u2019s in-house team solve all the development challenges and create an app for people who want to quit smoking. Read how we took on a burning task and literally became the client\u2019s \u201chands\u201d in <\/span>this case study<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

5 things to consider in design to avoid problems in the development<\/h2>\n
Here are the things that weren\u2019t originally in the design, but should definitely be included so you don\u2019t get stuck in a round of edits:<\/span><\/p>\n
\n
\n
\n
UI kit.<\/b> Without this, developing and adding new scenarios can become a nightmare.<\/span><\/li>\n
Store guidelines. <\/b>App stores won\u2019t let you release apps without \u201cI agree to the privacy policy\u201d buttons and other not-so-obvious little things.<\/span><\/li>\n
User journey. <\/b>Otherwise, a user may end up in a scenario that designers haven\u2019t rendered and get confused.<\/span><\/li>\n
UX patterns. <\/b>These are established user habits, and their violation can discourage users from using the app.<\/span><\/li>\n
Small screen adaptation. <\/b>So that the design does not fall apart on older phones.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Now, we\u2019ll tell you about all of this in order.<\/span><\/p>\n
