UX design is not just about pretty screens or elegant interfaces. It’s a holistic approach to a platform: from onboarding and notifications, to documentation and internal processes. A well-designed user experience directly impacts revenue growth, cost reduction, and brand reputation.

Product-led growth

Good UX makes the product sell itself. Users quickly see its value, go through onboarding with ease, and are more likely to return.

Case from experience: while designing internal platforms at Sii, I simplified user flows and removed redundant features. The result? 20% faster development and quicker releases, enabling the organization to scale without “feature bloat.”

From first use to advocacy

UX doesn’t end at launch — iterations and feedback guide users from first contact to becoming advocates.

Case from experience: at Lionbridge Games, I introduced redesign cycles. Users not only enjoyed the tool more, but the team atmosphere also improved. They were amazed that the application could look and work this way, and became more engaged in the process, providing valuable feedback.

Customer satisfaction and loyalty

Satisfied users stay longer, and companies avoid costly churn. This is particularly crucial in B2B products where acquisition costs are high.

Case from experience: at Rockwell Automation, I ran UX audits, identified flow issues, and delivered redesigns. It had a strong educational effect on the team. I explained solutions “on an open heart,” showing how design decisions could make the app easier to use. Collaboration improved and the team grew more aware of user needs.

Reduced operational costs

Fixing a mistake at the design stage costs much less than changing a live product. UX saves money, not spends it.

Case from experience: while designing prototypes for B2B apps at Smart Agency, I enabled quick developer testing and adjustments. The client emphasized that this reduced rework during implementation and shortened delivery time.

It’s always better to invest more in the design phase than extend development and delivery. Designers can adjust mockups faster and cheaper than developers rewriting code. Changes should not be made in production — unless they are strictly technological.

Stronger brand reputation

When something looks professional and well-crafted, it instantly builds trust. To understand why certain design decisions affect perception, I recommend the book:
“100 Things Every Designer Needs to Know About People” – Susan Weinschenk.

Long-term value of user-centered design

User-centered design means the app is built around real needs from the start. Over time, as more users join, feedback flows in, allowing further improvements. Each iteration enhances quality, which translates into tangible business outcomes: higher revenue, returning clients, and recommendations that fuel further growth.

👉 Conclusion
UX design is not a cost, but an investment in growth and competitive advantage. Instead of fighting frustrations and expensive reworks, companies can build products that generate revenue and strengthen brand reputation.
