FAQs

Have you previously designed a chat-based, messaging or conversational application?

Yes. Jugl is a direct example of TheFinch’s chat app UI/UX and product design experience. The all-in-one SaaS platform combines communication with task management, business operations, education workflows and analytics.

Can you demonstrate experience designing chat products for both mobile and web platforms?

Yes. TheFinch designed Jugl for both web and mobile. The product serves small businesses, educational institutions and teams through a connected experience for communication, collaboration and operational management.

How would you make starting, continuing and returning to conversations simple for users?

For Jugl, communication was brought into a centralised hub containing messaging, notifications and real-time updates. Keeping communication within the same platform as tasks, projects, orders and education workflows reduces the need to switch between separate tools.

How would you design file sharing, voice notes, images, links and other message attachments?

These features are defined during project scoping because each one affects the product’s complexity. TheFinch’s project estimator specifically accounts for rich media sharing, including images, videos and files, as well as voice messages and other specialised messaging capabilities.

How would you ensure the chat application is accessible to users with visual, motor, hearing or cognitive impairments?

TheFinch follows WCAG guidelines as part of its accessibility and inclusive design services. Its UI/UX process can include accessibility audits, accessibility checks and testing with diverse user groups.

What user research would you conduct before redesigning the chat experience?

TheFinch’s UX research process can include user interviews, surveys, user analysis, market research and competitor analysis. The selected research methods depend on the product, its users and the business questions that need to be answered.

How would you test whether users understand the interface and can complete important conversations successfully?

TheFinch creates interactive prototypes and uses usability testing, heuristic analysis and user feedback to identify usability problems. The findings are used to refine the experience before designs move forward.

Can you create a scalable design system covering message types, conversation states, notifications and reusable chat components?

Yes. TheFinch provides design system services that include reusable UI pattern libraries, style guides and component libraries. For a chat product, the design system scope can include reusable components for messages, notifications, conversation states and related interactions.

What would the estimated timeline be for discovery, UX design, UI design, prototyping, testing and developer handoff?

Jugl was an 18-month UI/UX and product design engagement. The timeline for another chat application would be calculated according to its platforms, features, user roles, design requirements and overall scope.

How is pricing calculated, and what would be included in the proposed design engagement?

Pricing is calculated from the selected product type, platforms, required services, delivery approach, messaging features and technical complexity. TheFinch’s project cost calculator asks whether the engagement requires UI/UX design only, UI/UX design with development or development only before preparing a tailored estimate and proposal.

Do you provide design support during development, quality assurance and post-launch improvements?

Yes. TheFinch’s published UI/UX process includes design implementation, testing, quality assurance, launch support, maintenance and continuous improvement. Post-launch UX monitoring can also be included to identify usability issues through user behaviour and feedback.
