Stefanie on working at b13
The best parts about working at b13 for me are that I get to be part of a family that includes a kaleidoscope of specialties and knowledge. My opportunities to work hard, keep learning, and improve myself professionally are matched by the respect and results I get back from the rest of the team. The occasional quitting-time G&T and our (almost) legendary Launch Barbecues are nice, too! For our clients, I think the best parts of working with b13 are that we mean everything we say in our manifesto, we have very high standards of quality, and we put our clients needs first.

In digital design, picking the right user flow tool isn’t just about choice; it’s about navigating challenges like integration issues, team collaboration, and budget constraints. With a sea of options, how do you find one that addresses all these considerations? This guide simplifies and demystifies the process, ensuring you make a decision that truly fits your needs.
User flow design visualizes the path that the user follows to achieve a specific goal. In digital terms, the path is what the user sees and clicks on when interacting with a digital interface. User flow design defines the sequence of steps and ensures that these steps are intuitive, efficient, and frustration-free for a positive and smooth experience.

Wireframing is the first step in designing the structure of a website, and it serves many purposes; to describe how information is presented on a page, to determine a website’s structure and how it functions, and to shape the flow of the user journey. Whether you’re interested in an entirely new project or refining an old one, wireframing provides a firmly user-oriented foundation for your site.
The human mind is naturally driven by aesthetics. Interface design, therefore, contributes substantially to building a positive user experience. But when it comes to durability and quality, it's what's on the inside that counts. Although conceptual models are abstract, they let you take a step back and envision how people are going to interact with your product. This distance gives you perspective. Seeing the entire landscape means you can more easily align interactions, relations, transitions, and the functionality of your project. Building an elegant solution underpins a well-made interface.
When working with transnational corporate websites in different cultural contexts, it is very important to know the different aspects and demands of your international audience. To make a website optimally available and enjoyable for a wide range of users, you need to look beyond the technical requirements of a CMS only supporting text display and language direction. For your visual design to have a global reach, you need to consider things like aesthetics, symbolism, typography and form construction.
Prototypes are the best way to take your clients through user journeys. Here are b13’s best practices for communicating flows through interactive prototypes.
