A dedicated UI/UX designer’s field of responsibility

Suppose you hire a dedicated web designer. What is their field of responsibility? The short answer is that they will perform all the tasks an in-house designer would do within a particular project. The exact list of such tasks will depend on the specifics of your request and design needs. But some common UI/UX designer’s responsibilities include:

  • Conducting competitor analysis. This is required to identify the best UX/UI solutions already offered on the market and any potential pitfalls to avoid.
  • Creating user personas. After a designer completes this task, you’ll get a potential user portrait along with your future users’ needs and pain points.
  • Tracking user flows. The goal of this task is to get a better understanding of the pathways of product use.
  • Identifying “red routes.” “Red routes” are the most important user journeys. Identifying them and eliminating all obstacles that could impede them is essential.
  • Creating wireframes and clickable prototypes. These will allow you to see and feel the product before it’s developed. Wireframes and prototypes are also useful when revamping the product design after receiving feedback.
  • Creating UI guidelines and creating a design system. The guidelines and design system will contain all the rules for fonts, images, and colors for your product, so you can create a consistent visual identity for it.

That said, different design tasks require different levels of skills from designers. So, if you have decided to hire a UX/UI designer, it’s necessary to understand what seniority level you’re looking for. We’ll cover this next.
