People First Design Creates

First-Class User Experience

Putting People First Modern software designers often drop the

buzzwords “mobile first” and “any device”

when discussing the philosophy behind

their products. The execution of these

design philosophies are often flawed,

resulting in products that work well for

one platform but poorly for others or

achieve functionality across all platforms

with gimmicks. Frevvo believes a “people

first” design philosophy is the key to

creating business apps that users will

actually use.

Web forms can help companies save on costs related to

managing, storing, reproducing and maintaining paper

records. Giving employees and managers access to web

forms can improve productivity, reduce mistakes and

improve response times. Using web forms to manage

approval workflows such as expense reports can also greatly

increase efficiency.

Realizing The

Shortcomings of “Any

Device” and “People First”

An “any device” philosophy often

results in developers just tacking on a

few features to existing desktop

programs before popping them on a

tablet or smartphone, resulting in a

clumsy, awkward program. Blindly

following a “mobile first” approach

often results in terrible user

experiences – see Windows 8 on the

desktop.

People’s Choice With people first design, a natural

user experience is prioritized. For

online forms and document

management, clients should be free to

design their online forms and

approval workflows to fit their

business needs without worrying about

the intricacies of devices. Let

software like Frevvo ensure that the

resulting user experience is pleasing

and natural on all devices.

Online forms software can provide an intuitive, easy form

builder using which customers can focus on how people

use their apps :

• Automatically making icons

and buttons bigger for

mobile devices.

• Making apps responsive to

different size screens.

• Making task lists easy to

access on each device that

people use.

• Eye appeal – The application

should be aesthetically

pleasing everywhere.

• Navigation – The application

should be easy to get around,

with swiping and other

features for mobile devices

and appropriate features for

desktop devices.

• Designers should be able to

take advantage of the GPS,

camera, and touch screen

features of the device.
