Overview
Our Software Product Design and Development Services
Product design services
Committed to all phases of your project
As a software development agency that helps other businesses conceptualize, research, and develop new technology products, we focus and engage with our clients heavily during the strategic and creative phase to collaboratively outline their new technology products and projects.
“Our product design and development services are a real culmination of having been doing this for years for several different clients that own and operate different types of applications. We’ve learned what clients want to spend their time deciding, and what they would rather leave to us to do.”

Experience the true benefits of exceptional product design and attract and retain users
Our research process
We empathize and understand your business and users needs
Developing new custom software solutions for your strategic goals, whether that may be customer acquisition and retention, improved marketing, process automation, or other critical objectives often requires serious investment of both time and capital. During our product design and development phase, we undertake the necessary research to understand, plan, and estimate your requirements for a technology product.

Our design services and capabilities
Developing Style Guides
At a smaller level than a design system but highly effective for small projects, a design style guide documents and establishes how typography, colors, and visual elements should be applied within a project, setting the ground rules for further evolution.
Design systems
We set the necessary standards to manage design at scale for your product, whether it’s small or large. These rules and components set and maintain consistency across the digital product your company is developing.
User Experience (UX) Research
We study the requirements, needs and scope of the project from both businesses and the end user’s perspective to obtain realistic information on the context in which the product will be used, which will later help to generate a design process that meets the objectives and expectations of the project.
Wireframes
The wireframing process focuses on stablishing the visual hierarchy, functionality and behavior of a software product. This is an important step to define infromation architecture and possible paths between pages, and identify and fill content gaps.
User Interface (UI) research
UI research is a methodology that lives in-between the discovery and creative processes. By doing this, we can evaluate customer references, benchmark the industry we’re operating in and create mood boards to define the “Look & Feel” of the product.
User Interface (UI) Design
UI design is the process where aesthetics are defined. We create visual elements that are understandable, accessible and, in general, that all the actions carried out by the user are easy to access and complete. UI design is built on research and requirements, and often the last step of the process where a product comes to life.
“Our process is designed for consistent updates, quick turnarounds, and ultimately putting deliverables in our development pipeline that we can bring to life with our engineering team. Generally, the weeks or months that are spent conceptualizing and delivering new designs to clients is some of the most fun work we get to do.”
The Software Product Design and Development Process
Unique projects from conception
Processes and deliverables adapted for each project
Our process for helping clients conceptualize, develop, and launch new technology projects is highly variable and dependent on a number of factors. For example, if a client wants us to help them launch a new website or a native application for their business we generally start with a due diligence and discovery phase in which we collect information, ask questions, and understand the scope and size of the project before we’re able to provide a proposal or start the design process.
Our Product Design Process
Proven steps to ensure customer satisfaction
Preliminary research and discovery
Through research, meetings, and analysis we understand the business and the core reasons for product development.
Preparing a project brief
The project brief ensures that both the client and Asymm are aligned on product strategy, goals, requirements, schedule, and more.
Conducting UX research
We learn and understand the needs, goals and frustrations of users. Through insights we begin to shape the product and its features.
Producing Low-fidelity Wireframes
Wireframes are created to define and get feedback on the product we are creating. Wireframes define features, functionality, information architecture, and more.
Client feedback cycles
We carry out feedback sessions with stakeholders to present them to present them wireframes. We collaborate and iterate until we achieve high level of product feature accuracy. We truly believe that this leads to better outcomes.
Producing high fidelity wireframes and mockups
To communicate design decisions, we represent how the product will look in black and white. Mockups are an elevated version of wireframes using a design system, including color schemes, typography, icons, and more.
Creating responsive prototypes
Prototypes are simillar to mockups, but contain realistic interaction. Prototypes aren’t fully functional, but represent a great tool for product testing and validation before development.
User testing and additional feedback cycles
Prototypes are simillar to mockups, but contain realistic interaction. Prototypes aren’t fully functional, but represent a great tool for product testing and validation before development.
“Asymm helped us design products that we've had in our heads for years. They brought to the table ideas and features that we hadn’t even considered. Once we thought about these features, we realized they were essential to our user experience and we had to build them out for our user base.”

Feedback
The most important factor for product success
It’s important to us to collaborate with our clients to get feedback not only to ensure we’re designing to their specifications and problems in mind, but also to ensure that we’re creating something that they are involved in strategically and operationally. To foster this collaboration during the product design and development phase of a project, our team employs a series of best practices to ensure constant communication, including recurring standups involving all stakeholders, shared project management tools, and clearly outlined and defined deliverables and schedules, often referred to as a product roadmap.

Questions about product development?
Asymm works with companies in a variety of industries - we like to say we're both industry and technology agnostic. While we have target industries that we enjoy working in because of built up experience, we are open and interested to work with new companies that have a need for custom software development in an industry or vertical that we haven't worked in before.
To us, the benefit of working with a familiar industry is that we can anticipate what a client wants within a solution. With new clients in a new industry, we encounter a new learning curve to understand their business and how technology can help it. But more often than not, we pick up on similarities with other technologies and solutions we've seen, as many custom software projects have similar macro objectives that a company is trying to accomplish.
