Our User Experience
Research Process and Steps
The key stages of UX research services are outlined below. Each UX research phase acts as a building block toward creating a specific roadmap and plan that will address each user need we have discovered and deliver the most user-friendly experience possible.
At Fuselab Creative, we start by thoroughly understanding our client’s objectives, intended audience, and the particular difficulties they encounter with their product’s current user experience.
We collect and review any existing data and documentation related to the client’s product, including user research, analytics, design assets, and user feedback. This provides insights into the current user experience.

Fuselab Creative’s UX experts conduct user research services of every client’s product by evaluating its usability, accessibility, visual design, information architecture, interaction patterns, and other relevant factors.
We use recognized usability principles like Nielsen’s 10 Usability Heuristics to evaluate products. This helps us immediately identify any potential usability issues and inconsistencies and develop a UX research strategy that delivers the most enjoyable and intuitive digital experience possible.
As a user experience research agency, our analysis attempts to identify recurring patterns, common drop off issues, and user behavior trends. This helps us create recommendations that focus on high-impact areas first.
After evaluating the data, we produce a detailed report with practical recommendations that address the UX issues found and guidance as to how and what is needed to successfully create these improvements.
When we present our findings, we always include proposed solutions and proposed designs changes, which set the tone for our initial collaborative discussion meant to ensure mutual understanding.
Fuselab helps clients with the implementation of our recommended changes every step of the way. This includes working with our client’s team, providing design resources, and doing usability testing.
Once the recommended changes have been implemented, Fuselab Creative may perform a follow-up evaluation to gauge and predict the impact and confirm the successful changes have been implemented.
