#UX/UI Design

[404icy]

hi! icy here! ♡

i am currently studying computer engineering as my college major. i have great interest with the intersection between design and engineering.

in my free time, i love to learn (just learning in general). some of my favorite hobbies are ballet, reading books and playing video games. i also love being creative... i also really like anything related to astronomy and self-improvement.

academic interests: engineering, computer engineering, ux/ui design, human computer interaction, design, ai, robotics, astrophysics i have degrees in history (focus is on american immigrant history), visual communication design (graphic design) and liberal arts.

i don't think i'll ever stop learning.

i hope that sharing my journey would help and inspire someone out there. ♡

icy's (big sis advice portion): i know it may get overwhelming sometimes but here is a reminder that you are right in the middle of something you used to pray for... be kind to yourself and trust the process...

WEEK08 HW #7 - Nami Matcha (Extended)

Before:

After:

⭐ View prototype!

Think about the homework you did last week. Either make a new version building on what you learned last time, or pick a new app/website/program. Use Figma in the same way — Give yourself a directive: I am going to make this app/site/*** funny/silly/angry/usable/terrifying/legible/incomprehensible/……….. Then, think about what qualities you can use to create a version that embodies that adjective. Your changes might be subtle or loud – try out a few things before you settle on your final direction. If you don’t know what to do, talk to me.

About Us:

Directive: I am going to make this page less empty and more personal.

My changes:

Introduced more colors to brighten up the page!

Incorporated more photos that are not already in use on the site.

Added the reoccurring arch in home and product display page for a more welcoming feel.

Product display & info (Yame):

Directive: I am going to make this page emphasize the flavor and customer experience of Nami's Yame Matcha.

My changes:

Push matcha description up, making it the first thing a user reads instead of the payment option.

Add more fun and inviting shapes from the home page to display Yame matcha images.

Slight edits to the matcha description to make the text visually less condensed (asterisk, line skip)

Rotating thank you message was too light. Changed it to Nami green and butter yellow!

Customer reviews are visually more condensed because original design require customer eyes to drag across the screen. I hate it lol

Arbitrary Notions

I just want to know who it is, in Slack's design pod, who thought that bringing the Status menu from one top-end corner of the screen to a bottom-end one makes sense. Is it based on screen areas being used, and when? Is it just some head-of-department's whim?

When Tumblr locals complain about @staff mixing stuff around for seemingly no reason, I'm reminded that this is actually a problem across several software companies and service providers. A refresh could have involved a simple cleaning-up of the UI, but things somehow always tend to veer towards complete restructurings - usually informed in order to please a younger cohort that may rather be used to some competitor's own UX.

I know it sounds old-codger-y, but when a workflow is established and changes are mostly aesthetic, couldn't the user decide on what they like? Let me know of deep-seated changes to the tools I use, sure, but don't uproot me entirely just because someone thought my icon placement and color themes weren't 'fresh' enough anymore.

[halflingcaravan]

One thing I hope Serif/Affinity folks are doing is using some of the usage metrics they are likely gathering to do “Desire Paths” on their UX/UI. Especially since they have lots of custom hot keys as a design element.

THIS. This right here. It's like they're deliberately engaging in hostile architecture but for web.

Unification of web and mobile is just ugly and useless. I'm not advocating for making the two wholly alien to each other, but there's a reason organizations use branding and design language. It's useful, but only when followed correctly. Effective use means the presentation on both platforms is visually connected by similar elements, but that does not mean "make web look like a bigger version of mobile". It's ugly, it's hard to use, and it's confusing. Pretty much the opposite of what you want from a website. So not only is it a skill issue* for the designer, it's also a design language issue.

*(Whoever is doing the site design needs to go take some UX/UI classes or something ffs. They clearly have zero eye for it.)

Just a hint, the majority of desktop web users are on wide screen monitors, which have the opposite orientation phones do. But you've designed the page for a vertical orientation, so everything looks stretched out yet crammed together at the same time. There's no balance. Try viewing the desktop web with any monitor that will do vertical orientation, next to one that is in horizontal. You'll see what I mean.

If I had the time and resources I'd mock up some better layouts myself, just to show how it could be done in a way that works, but I am tapped out mentally right now. Plus why do that work for free.

Hey @staff just wondering did any of you ever study web design

Just feels like you're intentionally making the desktop interface an inhospitable place in order to drive users toward the app or off the site entirely. Is that what you were going for? If so good job I guess.

Why Good Design is Good Business: The ROI of Investing in Quality Digital Design

At WJM Digital Design

In today’s fast-moving digital world, design is often the first and most lasting impression your brand makes. Whether it’s a website, a social media ad, or an app interface—how your business looks and feels directly influences how customers engage with you.

But great design isn't just about making things look good. It’s a powerful business tool that can increase trust, boost conversions, and drive long-term growth. Let’s break down why good design is good business—and why investing in quality digital design is one of the smartest decisions a company can make.

1. First Impressions Are Formed in Seconds

Research shows that users form a first impression of a website within 50 milliseconds. That’s faster than the blink of an eye. In that fraction of a second, people decide whether your brand feels trustworthy, credible, and worth their time.

Good design uses color, layout, imagery, and typography strategically to create a professional and inviting digital space. Bad design, on the other hand, creates friction and sends people running to competitors.

Bottom line: You never get a second chance to make a first impression—especially online.

2. Design Directly Impacts Conversion Rates

You could have the best product or service in your industry, but if your digital design doesn’t guide users clearly, you’ll lose potential customers. Quality design improves conversion by:

Making navigation intuitive

Placing call-to-action (CTA) buttons where they make the most sense

Designing for mobile responsiveness

Using visual hierarchy to guide users toward decisions

For example, a well-placed CTA button with the right color contrast can improve click-through rates by 20% or more. Similarly, optimizing page layout can reduce bounce rates and keep users engaged longer.

Design isn’t just decoration—it’s strategy.

3. Brand Consistency Builds Trust

Your brand’s visual identity needs to be consistent across all digital platforms—from your website to your social media to your email campaigns. Inconsistent colors, fonts, and styles confuse users and reduce your credibility.

Strong branding creates familiarity. Familiarity breeds trust. And trust leads to conversions.

A professional digital design agency ensures every visual element aligns with your brand’s personality and message, making your business more memorable and trustworthy.

4. Real-World Examples: The ROI of Better Design

Here are a few anonymized client examples that demonstrate the power of great design:

Client A: After a homepage redesign with better UX and CTAs, their lead conversion rate increased by 48% in just two months.

Client B: A full brand refresh and website overhaul led to a 65% increase in time on site and a 30% decrease in bounce rate.

Client C: A mobile-first redesign helped them improve mobile sales by 40%, tapping into an audience segment they were previously losing.

These numbers show that professional design pays for itself—often faster than you'd expect.

5. The Pitfalls of DIY Design

With so many drag-and-drop tools available today, it’s tempting for business owners to create their own designs. But there’s a difference between putting content on a page and crafting a strategic user experience.

Common DIY mistakes include:

Poor use of white space

Inconsistent branding

Lack of mobile optimization

Unclear navigation

CTA buttons that get ignored

A digital design agency brings experience, strategy, and polish—turning your vision into a tool that drives real results.

6. How to Know It’s Time for a Redesign

Not sure if your current design is holding you back? Here’s a quick checklist:

Your site looks outdated or cluttered

Your bounce rate is high

Your branding is inconsistent

Your design isn’t mobile-friendly

You’re not getting the conversions you want

Users complain about usability or navigation

If you checked off even two of these, it’s time to consider a design upgrade.

Final Thoughts: Design That Drives Growth

In a world where digital is often the first (and sometimes only) touchpoint with your audience, design is no longer optional—it’s essential. It shapes perceptions, builds trust, and directly impacts your bottom line.

At WJM Digital Design, we don’t just create beautiful designs—we craft strategic digital experiences that turn visitors into loyal customers. Whether you’re a startup or an established brand, investing in quality design is an investment in growth.

Introduction

Digital marketing in India has transformed the way businesses interact with customers. With the rise of internet penetration, smartphones, and social media, businesses—whether small startups or large enterprises—are leveraging digital marketing to enhance brand visibility, drive engagement, and boost revenue.

This guide explores the importance, strategies, trends, and benefits of digital marketing in India, along with how businesses can harness its power for success.

Why Digital Marketing is Essential in India

India has over 900 million internet users, making it one of the largest online markets in the world. With affordable data plans and increasing smartphone usage, digital platforms have become the primary source of information and shopping for consumers.

2. Cost-Effective Marketing

Compared to traditional advertising like TV or print media, digital marketing is more affordable and provides a better return on investment (ROI). Startups and small businesses can reach their target audience without spending a fortune.

3. High Social Media Engagement

Platforms like Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube have millions of active users in India. Brands can directly engage with their audience through content marketing, influencer collaborations, and paid ads.

4. Data-Driven Strategies

Digital marketing allows businesses to analyze customer behavior, track website traffic, and optimize campaigns for better conversions. Tools like Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and AI-driven insights help marketers make data-driven decisions.

Key Components of Digital Marketing in India

1. Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

SEO is the backbone of digital marketing. With the right SEO strategies, businesses can rank higher on search engines like Google, increasing organic traffic. Some essential SEO techniques include:

Keyword research and optimization

High-quality content creation

Mobile-friendly website optimization

Backlink building

Local SEO for targeting specific regions in India

2. Social Media Marketing (SMM)

Social media platforms play a crucial role in brand promotion. Some key social media marketing strategies include:

Running paid ads on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn

Creating engaging content (videos, memes, infographics)

Influencer collaborations

Community engagement and brand building

3. Pay-Per-Click Advertising (PPC)

Google Ads, Facebook Ads, and Instagram Ads help businesses target specific demographics with precision. PPC ensures immediate traffic and leads, making it an effective way to generate sales.

4. Content Marketing

High-quality content builds trust and authority. Businesses in India use content marketing strategies such as:

Blogging and article writing

Video marketing (YouTube, Instagram Reels)

Email marketing campaigns

Podcasts and webinars

5. Email Marketing

Email marketing remains a powerful tool to nurture leads and retain customers. Personalized email campaigns, automated responses, and newsletters help businesses stay connected with their audience.

6. Affiliate Marketing

Many Indian businesses use affiliate marketing to generate leads and sales. Companies partner with influencers and website owners who promote their products for a commission.

7. WhatsApp and SMS Marketing

With over 500 million WhatsApp users in India, businesses leverage WhatsApp marketing for customer engagement. SMS marketing also plays a crucial role in reaching users directly.

Latest Digital Marketing Trends in India (2025)

1. AI and Automation

AI-powered chatbots, automated email marketing, and predictive analytics are revolutionizing digital marketing. Businesses use AI to personalize user experiences and streamline marketing processes.

2. Voice Search Optimization

With the rise of voice assistants like Alexa and Google Assistant, optimizing content for voice search is crucial. Brands should focus on natural language keywords and local search queries.

3. Influencer Marketing Growth

Indian consumers trust influencers more than traditional advertisements. Collaborating with regional and micro-influencers can help brands build credibility and drive engagement.

4. Short-Form Video Content

Platforms like YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and TikTok (if it returns to India) are dominating content consumption. Brands should focus on short, engaging videos to capture audience attention.

5. Metaverse and AR Marketing

Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) are gaining traction in digital marketing. Brands are using AR filters, interactive ads, and metaverse experiences to engage customers.

6. Regional Language Content

India is a multilingual country, and businesses are targeting non-English-speaking audiences with content in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, and other regional languages.

How Businesses Can Leverage Digital Marketing in India

1. Create a Strong Online Presence

Every business should have a professional website and active social media profiles. A well-optimized website helps in lead generation and brand credibility.

2. Invest in SEO and Paid Ads

A combination of organic SEO and paid advertising can maximize visibility and traffic. Businesses should continuously optimize their digital strategies based on analytics.

3. Leverage Local SEO

For businesses targeting specific cities or states, local SEO is crucial. Google My Business optimization, local keywords, and customer reviews can improve visibility in local searches.

4. Focus on Customer Engagement

Interacting with customers through social media, WhatsApp, and email marketing helps build trust. Personalized responses and quick support enhance brand reputation.

5. Analyze and Optimize Campaigns

Regular analysis of digital marketing campaigns ensures better performance. Businesses should use tools like Google Analytics, Facebook Insights, and email tracking to measure success.
