The full-page header is self-explanatory, the web designers are focusing on just a few words or small phrases for hints along with a full-page header designed mainly focused on visual and graphics to explain the actual message.

5. Monochrome UX/UI

Monochrome UX/UI simply means the web user interfaces designed using only a single colour. Having a wonderful and eye-catchy web design is not the only aspect people will remember your website. But even If only a single colour is used to design the fonts and the elements on a plain solid coloured canvas, such design will be more memorable than any other type of designs. The human brain loves simplicity, which is the reason one colour web design or monochrome design is more easily captured and remembered by our brain. Although it may sound simple in reality this could be a nightmare for even an experienced web designer, so only a few attempted to adopt this approach but if a design is designed well in a monochrome UX/UI format, it looks like a masterpiece of the art.

6. Overlapping Design Elements

The overlapping design elements based web design is a kind of more modern and more up to date approach. Such designs look more kind of science fictional and mainly used to represent the companies who are into the technology or their products or services are somehow related to the technology. The different design elements are overlapping each other and sometime may look tangled. This will encourage a viewer to focus and pay more attention and if correct colour schemes are used, such designs result in more revisits.

7. Large Navigation

Since the mobile and tablets are becoming more popular so web designs with large navigations and large buttons are becoming more popular as they perform very well on all devices especially on smartphones and tablets, they even look more clean and more futuristic on laptop/pcs or large screens too. The mobile-first approach do very well but for certain niche only, so it depends a lot on your audience and the niche of the business.

As the name suggests the large typography means large fonts everywhere, this is also a modern design technique and gaining popularity especially among commercial, marketing and fashion industry, many eCommerce are also adopting it, but only those who are dealing in a specific product.

9. Dynamic Scrolling

There was a time when parallax web design was the market leader but soon it lost its importance and the web designers start adopting dynamic scrolling instead, especially for large web pages. Dynamic Scrolling alone is not as that appealing but if used with a background video or any kind of graphical animation it can focus on anything the designer wants, such as a photo or a heading or a tagline and so on. This approach is also very effective when dealing with interactive web pages. It can also be used to give a 3D kind of visual effects with boosted user interaction.

These indicators and identifiers can be added in the HTML of the web page, in rich snippets and schema, geographical tags, search engine readable codes, social media tags and many more.

2.1.3 Off-Page SEO

The on-page SEO is just the half of it, the other half is the off-page SEO. Off-page SEO is mainly based on backlinks and social media bookmarks. The backlinks can be organic if your content is meant for general public consumption, but if you are targeting a specific audience, you should have to build useful backlinks for your website. There are so many different methods and techniques to build backlinks. Same is applicable for the social bookmarks. All your social media profiles and pages should be linked to your website. You have to be active on your social media profiles and pages.

2.1.4 Social Media Interactions by Pages and Profiles

Social Media interaction by your business’s social media profiles and pages is also an important part of a good digital marketing strategy. People tend to post on your social media platforms, it could be good or bad also. People can appreciate the product or service they acquired from you or they can write a positive or negative review about their experience. That doesn’t matter what people write on your social media the important thing is how you respond to them. You should be very polite, humble, and responsible in case of negative feedback or comment, you should try to resolve the issue and try to move them to a private conversation or your official complaint channels, rather discussing things in the public domain. Try to respond to as many people as you can, this will build your brand image in the social media and in case of social media anything could go viral, which could boost your social media profiles and pages. So, be attentive and be a problem solver, try to avoid dead ends, and keep the conversation alive.

Be vigilant towards the negative marketers or the vampires who post their profile and pages in you popular content to get extra likes. Keep on removing, reporting and blocking such users. Your social media can be very beneficial in your organic marketing and will let you build a unique and very dedicated audience over the internet to support your organic marketing activities.

Some mediums such as Facebook/Instagram allow creating simple and easy multimedia ads with a more flexible approach towards selecting the targeted audience along with a simple and small form with a call to action button. This approach is simple and yield more leads, but since it is a social media platform so you might get some irrelevant or even fake leads too. But the cost is very low comparing to Google so it is the best alternative in a tight budget scenario.

2.2.3 Brand Awareness Campaign

Brand Awareness Campaigns are often referred to as traffic building campaigns as well. But that is not the case, the traffic building campaigns are specifically designed to get more and more traffic whereas the brand awareness campaigns are meant to promote the brand. Though in most of the digital marketing campaigns the strategy is built to get more website traffic sometimes the adverts encourage people to visit a particular outlet, or branch, or the office rather than just visiting the website. The approach is a little bit different when it comes to the advertisements and the targeted audiences. The prime objective of the brand awareness digital marketing campaign is to let more and more people see your brand and influence them to have a positive opinion about the brand.

Hybrid Mobile App Development technique is more flexible towards user interface designs and functionalities, the overall user experience and the interactiveness of the application is far superior than the native app development platforms. The updates and upgrades are also comparatively simple and quicker than conventional native apps.

  • Speed & Performance

After the user interface the second biggest concern of any mobile app developer is the speed of the mobile application hence it is a big challenge for mobile app development companies in Dubai. As different mobiles have different computing power, different operating systems and even different versions of the operating systems, especially in Android devices there is a lengthy list of available screen sizes and operating system versions.

So maintaining the similar user experience on all Apple and Android devices can only be achieved with a combination of the user interface and the speed of the content loading in the mobile application. Thankfully hybrid app development platforms are way too faster than the native app development platforms, as they typically do most of the computing on the server where they are hosted and require very less computing at the user’s mobile device. This ensures more than 90% similar user experience on all supported devices.

  • Innovative UI/UX Design

The advantage of having new technology is that you can have more innovation. There are a lot of features and interactive functionalities that can easily be done with the hybrid app development technology which was either not possible at all or is very hard to achieve with the native app development platforms. Another advantage of hybrid app development is that you can have so many functionalities which will enhance the user experience without compromising the load-time or speed of the mobile application.

  • Ease of Integration

The most important aspect of any mobile app development is its compatibility and integration with the smartphone, its data synchronization and compatibility with other applications. Both the native app building and hybrid app building techniques perform this with the device’s programing language which is quite efficient and if coupled with the super-fast and responsive user-interface of the hybrid app development technique it will surely be capable of delivering more than that of the native apps could ever do.

  • Offline mode

With the passage of time and the latest advancements in the hybrid mobile app development technologies, now the offline mode of a hybrid app is equally useful and effective than that of its counterpart, the native apps. Even the hybrid apps are performing well with the offline mode as well. The hybrid app development technology allows their users to carry on their work in offline mode by downloading the requisites in the mobile phone’s memory or cache. This also helps people who have limited data plans, or people who are living in low coverage areas.

As the Dubai and the whole UAE itself is a large metropolitan and people from all around the world are coming here for business purposes as well as for vocation and leisure this makes it a really competitive playground, the consumer’s standards are as high as the sky, the innovation and creativity is praised the most, people have a certain taste for everything. Which is the reason being a smartphone app developer company in Dubai we are always been asked by our customers for the only best solution.

Not only that but as the technologies are advancing very rapidly so in order to keep up you must have to upgrade your products and services too, or at least how you are furnishing them to your customers, and in case of the mobile apps the hybrid app development is way too expandable and easy to upgrade platform than the native app building platforms. The user-interface is superior and the integration and synchronization techniques are efficient, the application’s speed is higher, and overall, the hybrid app building technology is far superior to the native app building.

Conclusion

The hybrid app building platforms are not only superior in the functionality and performance but they are also way too simple and easy to work upon. A mobile app development company requires fewer resources and can do the project on shorter lead time as compared to the native app building. This results in great ROIs for the customers as well. The development, testing, and troubleshooting are way too quick and easy. So, the delivery is much quicker and the cost is much lower.

The online store in simple words is a website that lists all your products on the internet and allows the customers to purchase those products from their homes or mobile. There are so many different options to do the payment transaction, such as you can get a payment gateway and enable online transaction directly into your bank account or you can have a COD (cash on delivery) service or why not both! The other most important thing is that your online store should look like a professional eCommerce platform, and for that we will do the job for you.

Will it cost me a lot?

Again, in such a situation when businesses are losing a lot of sales, the new investment could be tricky, so you don’t have to worry about it, we have a solution for that too. Considering the current scenarios we are providing our customers with heavily discounted plans and packages. So, we got your back here. You can get a standard online store website at a nominal price, just get in touch with us and we will let you know.

How to utilize the resources in hand?

Our online stores and eCommerce portals come with a very discrete administrative hierarchy. That will let you assign different tasks to different employees, getting things done automatically and much more. The system logs a set of very brief stats and gives you a complete insight into your online business and sales. This will let you improve your online business strategies and let you get more profit out of it without any additional investments. This could be a powerful marketing and communication medium even after when everything gets normalized.

What about marketing?

The online marketing campaigns are the way too cheaper than conventional marketing and advertising methods. There are plenty of online mediums that can let you target only the audience you like to, such as if you are a grocery store located in Deira Dubai, then you might not be interested in showing the adverts to people in Jabal Ali and vice versa. The online mediums let you precisely target the audiences which are most beneficial for you hence save you a lot of money. Your online store website itself is a marketing tool, you can promote new products, services, special offers and much more without paying a single Dirham. Isn’t it wonderful?

What else can be done?

As these days people are moving towards online mediums to do most of the regular shopping, and the majority of the people are doing so by their smartphones. So, having a smartphone app for your online store can boost your sales too. And it also comes with additional benefits, such as free marketing and promotions, you can notify your customers about a new sales or promotion by a push notification on their smartphone’s screen. Just a few taps by the customer and your product will be sold. That is it. It is as simple as it sounds, this is a major reason why people are preferring online shopping because it is very simple and easy, it allows them to think more about a particular product, they can compare so many products and much more.

What now?

Okay so as we have already discussed the possibilities of quickly taking your business to online by making it digital and a few benefits of that too, now let me tell you a few more things about optimizing your expenses and profits. Following those survival steps, you can reduce the impact of the COVID-19 crisis.

How to increase profit during the COVID-19 scenario?

Well once you got an online version of your business, your online store.

You can get analytical reports of your sales and you can easily identify popular products. That is not all, there are so many other functionalities that can benefit you improving your business practices and hence increase the profit.

How to reduce expenses?

As most of the operational processes are now fully or partially automated, which means you need fairly fewer resources to run daily operations. You might allocate your existing resources in more productive activities and the system itself will also allow you to effectively create roles of different employees to perform different tasks. You definitely don’t have to acquire more employees, with a little training your existing team will be able to work efficiently on the system, even from their homes, so all your employees who were just staying at home doing nothing can again contribute from their homes. Which will definitely increase productivity and reduce the expense? You might think of reducing the team as well, as most of the things are automated now, for an example, the accounts section, as all records are online, so there is no need of a special bookkeeper. There are so many things you can do by simply having an online store for your business.

What is the future scope of digitalization?

There are endless possibilities of future expansions of digitalization. You might have heard about the government’s initiatives to digitalizing their services and achieving a true paperless goal. This is the actual power of the digitalization. There are endless possibilities of integrating more digital systems with your online store and expand it to completely replace your existing traditional business practices. This also includes marketing, marketing was never cheaper and easier than before having the digital mediums in hand.

Which tends to result in more sales than conventional.

Can a Queue Management System Improve Customer Experience?

Waiting is always a difficult and irritating task for anyone. Good customer experience can be achieved with an outstanding Queue Management System that can enhance customer perception. A properly managed queue system can benefit both the staff and customer alike. With technology, the Queue System in Dubai has seen many positive changes. There was a time when only moving the customers into and outside of the business was all that was cared about. But now that there are various other options, the Customer Experience is improved by many folds.

Queue-Management-System-Improve-Customer-Experience

Appointments and Scheduling

There are certain kinds of businesses which can help the queue system by allowing appointments and schedules that can be pre-booked online or through their call centres. This helps the customer create a connection with the business, gives better customer satisfaction and also helps with staff scheduling. Ultimately, there is an increase in revenue too.

Management of each individual case

When customers visit your business, it is not right to pass them onto the next person, where he/she has to repeat their whole story till they are sent to the right person who can deal with their problem. It is only the right kind of case management that can save a customer from this kind of ordeal. This can be done only when information is accurately captured and recorded so that it can be accessed when staff or representative needs it and accordingly helps the customer. Also, the past contacts can be recorded so the next representative can see the flow of the system.

Customer Flow System

Some businesses can do well with a self-service kiosk wherein the customer can line up in a virtual queue or an electronic queuing system. This allows them to help themselves or if not then the customers are asked a couple of questions which would determine what representative would be able to help them best.

Digital Media

When there are digital displays in the waiting area or queue area, it keeps the customer entertained while they are waiting. It also gives you an opportunity for selling. At grocery stores and other shops, the same system can be used to show the number of people waiting at each queue, which gives the customer the liberty to choose which queue he/she would like to join in.

Messaging

Who doesn’t have a smartphone these days? These smart-systems can also be used to enhance the customer experience. These can be used by a customer for booking appointments and also they can be texted in advance to let them know or as a reminder of their appointment. If the appointment system hasn’t been used, the organization can still send a message to the customer to inform them that they are the next to be served. This gives the customer enough time to continue to shop or browse around and gives you extra revenue.

These kinds of modern Queuing Systems can bring in enhanced customer experience and makes it more efficient for your employees and customers both. Customers would be given the feeling that their best interests are being taken care of. When you implement things that bring their waiting time down or make it easier for them to explain their case history, it makes them feel unique and appreciated. Employees also appreciate it as it means that it is more of a planned and organized scenario. All this ultimately leads to a better business scene.

Queue Management not only helps your business, but it brings it forward. It gives a modernized feel and can set you apart from other businesses with an atmosphere of forward-thinking. Enhancing customer experience can launch a business into the future and make it cutting edge.
