Our Services | Silicon Rhino

Our product design team can provide clickable design prototypes to showcase your concept and different user journeys.

MVP Discovery & Prototyping |

At Silicon Rhino, we are all about making your idea the next big hit. One of the best ways to do that is by building a prototype of your product that will help us narrow down the ideal user journey. It’s a great way to start a project while keeping costs low.

After receiving user feedback we can iterate on your prototype to improve it, repeating the process until you are fully satisfied with the flow.

If you need help to refine your product idea, Silicon Rhino's workshops are the ideal place to begin your journey.

During the discovery sessions, we meet face to face and take the time to understand your business vision and the product you’d like to build. We explore together the different possible features, map the user journeys, and find the best and most cost-effective solutions.

These sessions are essential to understand the scope of your MVP and gather the product requirements, in order to build a strong product from the start.

Prototypes help you and your customers visualise how the product will feel and behave before any coding work begins. This can take the form of simple wireframes or fully-fledged designs, with pages linked together to demonstrate the journey a user will go through.

Thanks to focusing on usability and user journeys, prototypes help reveal the features essential to your product while also attracting your customers' interest.

Prototypes are also perfect to showcase your business idea to early investors, or validate its concept as quickly as possible.

If you have an idea and would like to test it, we will be happy to organise a workshop to get a better understanding of your project and guide you on the next steps. Contact us for a free discussion.

We understand the need for validating an idea before committing to a larger technology build. Our product design team can provide clickable design prototypes to showcase your concept and different user journeys. 

Perfect to put in front of potential users and/or investors to test the demand for the envisaged solution.

Whether your digital platform is consumer or business based, we have a vast amount of experience in product design - creating easy-to-use tools that are also beautiful to look at.

UX & UI Product Design | Silicon Rhino

Having worked with companies of all sizes and stages, we understand how to approach digital product design in a way that will work for you.

Whether you need a simple and easy-to-use MVP interface, or a complete overhaul of your product’s look & feel, we approach every project with the care it needs, including seeking out efficiencies when it comes to implementing the build.

From wireframes to clickable prototypes, our team can help in all the stages of a design project, no matter how big or small.

A wireframe is a low-fidelity mockup of your project focusing on information hierarchy and the functionalities available to users. This is a crucial stage to establish your key user journeys.

How does a new system or new feature work? How many steps will the user need to take to achieve their goal? The aim is to design an application that is functional and easy to use.

 

Once it’s clear how everything should work it’s time to apply some colour and style to the user interface, to give it some personality and reflect your brand.

A prototype connects the various screens and actions of the UI design to demonstrate the final user flow of your product.

This enables user testing before any code is written, to allow for changes in scope at the start of the process. Doing so ensures the final build will be closer to the user's expectations while avoiding overheads.

Designing a mobile app has its own intricacies, from good practice iOS and Android interface design to understanding the subtle differences in user behaviour between web and mobile applications.

With the introduction of Progressive Web Applications in the last few years, the gap between the available functionality in mobile and web apps is smaller than ever. Nowadays it's possible to implement very rich user experiences within the browser. 

Thanks to our years of experience in web app development, our design team is capable of leveraging the latest trends and features to give users the best experience possible.

The best dashboards are those which look simple no matter how complex the data being presented is.

We have designed many dashboards with that mantra in mind, always with excellent results.

With thousands of different devices and screen sizes, designing for the web means your product should have a responsive design that looks beautiful and functional no matter which devices your users have.

When starting a new project, it’s helpful to begin with a library of the components that will make up the design. These are the building blocks of your digital product which can be combined to create more complex interfaces.

This approach improves reusability throughout the design, and helps plan for better reusability during the build, improving efficiency and consistency in both areas.

We have the experience to know what makes your users tick and what will make them want to come back to your product. Contact us for a free discussion about your design project and see how we can help.

We are not only creative, but we are also commercially grounded. We make our decisions based on our clients’ objectives and make sure we are in the sweet spot between efficiency and wow factor.

Whether you are past the MVP stage or your idea includes complex business logic at Silicon Rhino we have vast experience developing complex software. From the hotel booking engine where you can submit your offers to hotels to a period care subscription service, we enjoy making complex problems look easy.

Our team will research different available built options and create the project plan.

Once the product is launched, we can continue to support you via continuous or sprint based development.

When designing complex systems we always make sure we create an infrastructure that is scalable as your user base grows. By leveraging the cloud and using technologies like Docker and Terraform we are able to automate increasing and decreasing resources to match user demand.

Scalability is needed if the peak times of your platform need extra capacity for a few hours a day or as month by month the userbase grows while making sure the system's performance remains the same.

Whatever the core functionality of your product may be, there is a lot of essential functionality you'll most likely need. Whether it's a user login system or online payment processing, it is always worth evaluating if it's more efficient and cost-effective to build these features internally or integrate with a third-party service. 

Integrating with third-party services allows you to focus your attention and resources on the core functionality of your software and business while using other services to provide the required functionality.

We have integrated over 100 different services in the last few years, being the most common usage for:

Most actions in a software system are initiated by users (for example when clicking a button), but generally, there is a lot more happening behind the scenes than you may think.

Automated processing includes all the actions which happen in a system without the need for human intervention. The most common examples are:

Sending reminders (emails / notifications)

Business logic are the custom rules or algorithms defining how the information is exchanged between the different parts of the system.

If your platform includes a dashboard you will need to think on how to present complex data in a digestible manner.

We can offer software ranging from social platforms and booking engines to video production software. We bring a level of expertise essential for building business applications.
