Empathetic Web App Design = Higher ROI, Happier Customers

Discover the power of emotionally intelligent web app design

Web apps need to be user-centric. Our belief in the truth of this statement comes not only from our extensive experience, but also from a thorough analysis of customer behavior and trusted statistics.

First and foremost, a web app has to solve the user’s problem – to understand their need and fill in that gap with intelligent design.

Ease of use, intuitiveness, and creating an enjoyable overall experience should be front of mind for anyone developing a digital product.

Our emotionally intelligent web app design approach, fuelled by the diverse perspectives within our design studio, will enable you to bring your creative vision to life in a way that makes the user feel understood on a deep level. Beyond just designing with the user in mind, our empathetic approach to design means that we design from the user’s seat.

Marrying user-centric web app design with high-performing functionality

At Oak Theory, we come to each project with a deep belief – and knowledge – that visually impressive, inclusive, and well-rounded design experiences will spark brand affinity and delight your users.

Design is crucial in those first seconds of them interacting with your web app, as it forms their first impression of your product and brand. It’s at that pivotal point in their journey, as well as throughout their exploration of your product, that we build credibility with the user to come back and become a loyal customer.

With a balanced focus on functionality as well as aesthetics, we always design dynamic and interactive web applications that are as frictionless as they are compelling. Our web apps are always responsive to multiple devices, demonstrate high performance across the board, and feature an intelligently streamlined user journey.

Respecting your brand and audience with intelligent web app design

We design for the user at each stage of the design process. That’s why we begin by defining your unique requirements and building site elements using responsive frameworks. This ends with a final build that performs beautifully, regardless of how your users want to access it.

During our work with Ktown, a Korean food delivery web app, we knew from audience insight that the best way to service hungry users was to welcome them with an easy-to-use experience – making it frictionless for them to navigate the restaurants and menus, and to easily check out so that they can get their food as soon as possible. While keeping this in mind, we also wanted to add a unique, memorable, on-brand twist to keep users coming back. So, using design elements that nodded at Korean culture, we mirrored the experience of exploring a Ktown in one of the major cities.

At the same time, we know that twists and embellishments don’t translate into any industry. Sometimes, doubling down on simplicity is the most emotionally intelligent way to design a web app; this was the case with 800 Cash Today a home buying and selling company who wanted us to freshen up their branding and create a new web application. Through user research, we knew that people valued transparency when making such an important decision – so we kept design simple, and focused on keeping the reading of the site easy to navigate despite its heavy content.

Frequently Asked Questions

If I got in touch with you today, what would happen next?
Immediately after you drop us a message we reach out to set up a friendly call with you. Speaking to you in person is important to us, as it gives us a better glimpse into your world, ambitions, and reservations—and how to best serve you as partners. We’ll delve into the specifics of your project, sounding out how our creative solutions align with your vision and if we’re a good fit for each other. As a team of creatives passionate about embracing diverse perspectives, we also won’t be able to stop ourselves thinking (at least a little bit) about how to captivate your audience and make your brand zig when everyone else’s zags.
I'm not sure where to start. Can you help me figure it out?
Don’t worry—many of our clients feel a bit lost when facing the often intimidating mountain of a new project, and creatives like us thrive in a little bit of initial uncertainty.

An integral part of our process involves diving into wide-circle brainstorming sessions, where we explore and generate many paths to success. In order to get clarity on tangible next steps, we host workshop sessions to precisely define your project goals, create an MVP, or project a strategic roadmap that everyone can get behind with confidence.
How long does a typical project take?
Efficiency is paramount to us. We believe in delivering high-quality results no matter what, and we always do our best to meet your expectations.
