It's no secret that we live in a digital world. The rate of technological advancement is rapidly increasing—and, with it, the rate at which people interact with their devices. As a result, user experience (UX) strategy and design are more important than ever before.

At Savas Labs, we are (and have always been) passionate about the user experience. We believe in creating digital products that meet users' needs and make their lives easier and more enjoyable. But what does this mean for you? A well-designed user experience is one of the most effective ways to ensure your organization’s success in the digital landscape. When you prioritize UX, your business can deliver intuitive, accessible, and user-friendly digital experiences that will increase engagement, loyalty, and revenue.

As we continue evolving as an industry, our goal is to constantly improve our user experience and create the best products for our clients. We hope you'll join us on this journey!

💪 Featured work - Coastal Credit Union

Coastal Credit Union (CCU) was in the process of redesigning its digital banking app and sought to have its new designs tested and reviewed by a team of experienced UX strategists. We performed a heuristic evaluation to determine whether the app followed usability and accessibility best practices, then constructed a clickable prototype to facilitate moderated user testing. At the end of the project, we shared our analysis and testing results with the CCU team, along with our recommendations for improving the app's user experience. 💚
