The 90-Minute UX Audit + UI Redesign

"We really need to redesign this." Sound familiar? It's often code for user frustration, management concerns, and a lack of clarity on what's actually going wrong with your product. You need a fast, efficient way to pinpoint problems and guide effective UI redesigns – especially when time, budget, and resources are limited. Forget lengthy user research or formal UX audits; they're often impractical.

The core of user problems often lies not in extensive research, but in the UI design itself. A staggering 80% of usability issues stem from poor UI choices. Fixing these problems directly improves usability. We're not talking about aesthetics; we're focusing on the quality and effectiveness of the visual language presented to users. Learn to evaluate what users see and understand why it causes friction.

This course provides a practical framework to do just that. Many UX designers and developers face the challenge of insufficient time to diagnose issues, leading to guesswork and frustration. The misconception that UX audits require extensive, time-consuming processes is a common hurdle.

In just over 40 minutes, you'll discover a comprehensive list of common UX problems that frequently appear in websites, customer portals, and B2B applications. These are easily identifiable, and you'll find them in almost any project requiring a redesign.

Beyond identification, you'll learn how to fix them. The foundation is understanding that what users see is their understanding of the system. A well-designed UI ensures users can easily navigate, comprehend, and interact with your product. Poor UI leads to errors, task abandonment, and ultimately, users leaving.

For nearly 30 years, experience has shown that the majority of user problems arise from flawed UI design. This knowledge is applicable to any project you undertake.

Within 90 minutes, you'll learn to spot problematic design choices, understand why they cause issues, and implement effective redesign solutions – all within a reasonable timeframe. This translates to increased efficiency and value, particularly for independent businesses and freelancers seeking to expand their service offerings.
