Do you get a UI/UX Test Please?
Any time you're building or changing something that users interact with, you should get a UI/UX Test Please from a designer. This ensures your work looks clean, feels intuitive, and aligns with the overall user experience.
Why it matters
- Designers catch visual issues, alignment problems, and inconsistent spacing
- They help ensure the flow is clear, especially across different devices
- A second set of eyes avoids awkward interactions or confusing layouts
Common examples that need a UI/UX Test Please
- Buttons, inputs, tooltips, and menus
- Layout changes, like spacing tweaks and and alignment fixes
- Mobile responsiveness
- Error messages, or loading indicators
- Icons, font sizes, or colors
- Images or graphics
How to do it
-
Start with the right approach:
- For small and straightforward updates, complete your work and test it yourself
- For more complex changes (like new flows, layout ideas, or interaction patterns), first have a quick conversation with a designer
- Explain your idea and what you're trying to achieve
- Get early feedback before building anything. This helps avoid wasted effort on ideas that may not work well for users
- Send a quick “UI/UX Test Please” with a video, screenshot or link
- Chase up designer for feedback
- Apply any suggestions and get a "✅ Test Pass"
- Go live
Great UX is a team effort. Always get a design review before it reaches users.
