Product design

The best digital products feel simple, useful, and purposeful because they’ve been designed that way. They’re designed with users in mind, led by research, and grounded in data.

We help enterprise teams focus on what matters: solving real problems, building trust with your customers, and delivering outcomes. Our approach improves conversion rates, reduces support costs, drives loyalty, and solves meaningful problems.

Why this work matters now

Product design can be the difference between success and failure. When done correctly, it’s a revenue driver and customer retention tool, and is even seen as a competitive advantage.

But it’s not just about making the products on your website or mobile app look good. It’s also about creating experiences that are functional, reliable, and enjoyable for users.

The product design process can be intricate and requires an in-depth understanding of your customer’s needs, current market trends, and emerging technologies. When these factors aren’t considered, you put your business at risk and it’ll likely cost you.

That’s why prioritizing product design helps you stand out from the crowd and deliver solutions that actually resonate with users.

What happens when you don’t follow the right product design process

You’ve likely experienced it yourself or have seen it from other brands:

  • Tarnished or damaged brand reputation from bad user experiences
  • Lost revenue from products that are difficult to use or don’t actually solve a problem
  • Increased costs by way of delays or reworks
  • Wasted internal resources
  • Missed opportunities to drive growth and innovation

These are just some of the negative impacts you may experience when failing to follow the right product design process.

Codal’s perspective on product design

Launching a new product involves so much more than just coming up with an idea and adding it to your website. We understand that, which is exactly why we’re by your side through every phase of the product design process. Our end-to-end approach begins by gaining a clear view of your target audience and their needs. We guide you through an in-depth process to ensure your idea is a market-ready solution that provides a better user experience and drives measurable ROI.

Information architecture (IA)

We structure your product around how users think, not how systems are built. Through IA diagrams, tree testing, and card sorting, we map and validate the way content is organized and accessed. The result is a clear, scalable framework that helps users find what they need faster and gives design and engineering teams a foundation that supports long-term growth.

Interaction design

Every interaction a user has shapes their perception of your brand. We make sure that interaction is always positive and actively helps them achieve their goals. We design user flows that are intuitive and frictionless. Using wireframes with interaction notes and clickable prototypes, every screen is engineered to guide your customers toward their goal with ease.

Visual and UI design

Do the colors, fonts, icons, and buttons used on your website actually help users reach their goals? Or are they just another thing for them to quickly scroll past? We ensure that the visual and UI elements on your website actually capture users’ attention, convey your brand’s personality, and help them make informed decisions. With responsive layout designs, high-fidelity mockups, and UI component sets, we increase user satisfaction, which leads to higher engagements and conversions.

Prototyping

For most businesses, wasting time, effort, and money on a non-viable product is not part of the equation. We test your product ideas at every stage of the process to guarantee their successful implementation. We create everything from clickable wireframes to high-fidelity prototypes, allowing you to validate assumptions early and iterate quickly. Just as a rehearsal is not the final performance, prototyping helps identify and correct mistakes while they are still inexpensive and easy to change.

Design systems

Launching a new product on your site doesn’t mean you have to completely reinvent the wheel. With a cohesive design system, you can speed up the launch process, maintain brand identity, and improve user experience. From component libraries to style guides and UI kits, we help you design and build products that your users recognize and actually use.

Accessibility and inclusive design

A truly successful product design means it’s accessible to everyone, regardless of their abilities. Accessibility and compliance are at the forefront of all our designs, so you can be confident you’re not leaving anyone behind and that your product meets all necessary standards and guidelines. Because leaving out a portion of potential customers means you’re leaving revenue on the table.

How our product design process works

1

Research

There is no guesswork in our process. We immerse ourselves in your users’ world through research, qualitative interviews, quantitative surveys, and more to understand exactly what their needs are and pinpoint their potential problem areas.

2

Ideate

Now comes the fun part. This is the creative step in the process where we use a guided and structured framework to generate new ideas and spark innovation among our team and your stakeholders.

3

Design & prototype

Next, we transform ideas into tangible product concepts. From low to medium or high-fidelity prototypes, we ensure technical feasibility before moving on to the next step.

4

Testing & iteration

Once we’ve got a viable design, we have users test the prototype. We gather in-depth feedback, have users validate, and then rapidly iterate for continuous improvements. Here is where we test, learn, and refine, together, for the best possible outcome.

5

Launch

After all of the hard work is complete, it’s time to launch your new product. We help plan and execute your launch strategy so you can be confident that it will make a strong first impression. Our involvement doesn’t end there, though. We stick with you in case any changes need to be made. We also offer a variety of managed services to help optimize product performance post launch.
