Story: Where a customer comes from

– What issues do you solve?
– Who is your target audience?

This is developing a business 101. If you do business, find a potential customer first. In other cases, a common situation is that people face an issue in daily life. People assume that it may be not only their issue. Then, people solve it and it becomes business in the end. Everyone has a seed of a business idea. Not everyone takes action.

User flows, UX flows, or flowcharts, as they are sometimes called, are diagrams that display the complete path a user takes when using a product. The user flow lays out the user’s movement through the product, mapping out each and every step the user takes—from the entry point right through to the final interaction. – CareerFoundary

User flow helps understand a user process for all the stakeholders. Where a user comes from, how a user takes to process and engage with us etc. Finding a contradict at the early stage of a project helps efficiency and productivity after all. Even though, I don’t have many chances to make user flow during my project. It does not mean I don’t need to know user flow. I should know it as a UX designer.

I don’t know home many designers use this service. I like the logo, cookie alert. The website looks SaaS.

Conclusion: For designer or for client

If a company develops a service or product with an in-house designer, the team would make a user flow. If I involve in a $10K+ project, I will make a user flow to make sure the content and structure.

I will develop a simple and useful user flow template in Figma.
