Building a product is a HUGE undertaking (similarly is buying a home, coincidentally!). Both require capital, a plan and a great foundation.
Think of UI/UX designers as the architects of the building — they say what goes where and they provide a blueprint. Developers and engineering are the construction of the home. Remember, both experts have points of view in different areas, so it’s important to weigh these and do what is ultimately best for your business.
The number one mistake we see people make is that they start development BEFORE design. We hear from founder after founder about how if they had just started design first, come up with a prototype and validated with their customers, that they would’ve saved so much time and money in development.

By the end of your construction, you get to walk into a new, shiny home! And the best part is, when you walk in, everything is the way it was planned. For example, if you walk into your office, you’d expect a laptop, coffee, etc. If you walk into your bedroom, you would expect clothes. This is what makes a great user experience, because if you’re navigating around a website or an app, you don’t have to think about where to go or what you’ll see, everything is exactly as expected!
We hope this helps in designing your next house.. cough, cough, I mean product!
