IN ACTION

IN ACTION - RideAmigos

RideAmigos.

Creating and establishing a unique digital brand through visual storytelling and purpose-driven design approach.

RideAmigos is a US-based commuter engagement hub used by businesses and communities to help commuters overcome parking, traffic and pollution issues. The RideAmigos.com platform was already offering excellent service, but there were significant challenges in terms of usability, design, and visual language.

Our solution focused on user experience by developing the product design alongside a comprehensive visual language, incorporating a distinctive visual identity with unique illustrations, color schemes, and typography. Extending this visual language to the companion app and corporate website resulted in a cohesive and engaging user experience across all digital platforms and enhanced brand recognition.

Design systems.

Maintain design and visual consistency across products.

Strong brands have a consistent appearance across all platforms. Without clear and consistent guidelines, the development of new features or products is challenging, often resulting in legacy products with inconsistent branding and an outdated visual appearance and usability. Design systems solve this problem by providing a clear and organized set of standards to manage design at scale, allowing for growth and a consistent brand expression.

Once a design system is in place, applying it to other products is quick and straightforward. It provides a single source of truth for visual components, patterns, and styles used by both the design team and the software engineers who develop the software. Through consistent components and patterns, users know what to expect from an interface and interact with it more intuitively. Confusion and ambiguity are removed, reducing the cognitive load and improving overall user experience.

Digital branding.

Tell your brand’s story visibly and effectively in an increasingly saturated digital space.

Digital branding is the process of creating design assets that establish and express your identity across digital channels, such as websites, mobile apps and social media. The goal of digital branding is not necessarily driving sales, but enhancing the awareness, relevance and perception of your brand, which will indirectly lead to improved KPIs and better customer retention.

Our teams will help you tell an authentic brand story, making your products and services memorable and striking a balance between emotion and functionality. We work in close collaboration to translate your corporate identity into an effective digital presence, helping you define or apply your brand’s personality and tone of voice in a digital context.

UI design.

Create digital products that are as simple, intuitive and efficient as possible.

User interface (UI) design is the human-first approach used to build interfaces focusing on style and interactivity of digital products. We bring corporate identity as well as logic and structure to the UI design of your digital product. Components are crafted on top of a visual language and then assembled into modules and pages. Based on brand guidelines, the visual language defines the typography, colors, shapes, grid, and interactions, which are then assembled into interface elements such as buttons, navigation, iconography, etc.

Our UI designers help you prototype, test and improve usability for users with a wide range of accessibility requirements and devise multi-platform responsive UIs to handle presentation on different devices. We check design consistency, layout and visual clarity, legibility, accessibility, data visualization, navigation and information architecture, language, mobile usability and touchscreen users, error handling, forms and feedback and calls to action (CTA).
