UX Design plays vital role business ROI
Case study -Ketaki
Generally, clients or stakeholders who complain that there’s no budget for UX-UI or act as a push back by saying they have less budget or How will they justify the value of UX design to investors, as UX is difficult to measure in currency.
It’s a proven that companies who put users to the front and centre of everything they do outperform far better compared to those who don’t invest in this area.
It is said that UX-UI adds values which are intangible like “satisfaction” & “delight” to the product but actually UX-UI has a direct impact on revenues when we measure it correctly. ROI of product increases when the targeted users have a feeling of content while using it and to achieve that success intuitive design is required that anticipates user needs.
#1: UX design reduces development costs
Companies should invest in UX design with a motto Design to Develop.
UX design process helps to avoid rework which reduces 50% of development efforts. As this Forbes article mentions: “According to IBM, code defects are 30 times more expensive to correct than using the right information in the first place. It is extremely unlikely that these coding defects will occur if you choose the UX design as a part of the product development process.
“Developers spend 50% of their time reworking on projects.”
If we calculate; this 50% of a developer salary is spent to fix bugs and errors that UX design would have to get rid of it in early iterations.
“In short UX design reduces the cost and time”
If UX design process is followed, designs are tested, iterated & prototyped as per targeted user requirement well before they’re handed off to a developer. It is easy to make changes and explore alternative possibilities during prototyping as it’s so much cheaper to do so at this earlier stage. At companies that invest in UX, products get released faster because it is easier for developers to prioritise the development task and improve decision making.

A 2016 design study of 408 different companies found that the more a company invested in and human-centric design, the more sales growth they saw. The companies with the highest investment in UX referred to as “design unicorns,” saw their sales increase by 75%. Companies that were less invested in UX (they considered themselves simply “design-centric”) still saw their sales increase by 60%.
“The more a company invests in and focuses on design, the more sales they see.” In fact, even if a company has less budget, a small investment in this area will lead to increased sales.
