How I start on a live product. 1. Review it. 2. Rank the fixes. 3. Redesign the top ones. First designs come within the first week, and the person who designs them can build them too. duncanbottrill.com

Tredict homepage. What works: it says who it's for straight away, and the training calendar shows workouts with their numbers. 3 fixes: 1. Three label lines before the button. Use one sentence. 2. Make Blog a text link. 3. Put the calendar where the photo is.

TM Forum: a membership organisation for the telecoms industry. As UX/UI designer on Events, Missions and Profiles, I applied the new brand and optimised the page flow. The pages now read more cleanly and information is easier to understand. duncanbottrill.com/work/tm-f…

TrainerRoad homepage. What works: a clear promise, and the product shown right on the page. 3 fixes: 1. Three sign-up prompts before you scroll. Pick one label. 2. The cards overlap and hide each other. Show fewer, larger. 3. Put the proof above the button.

How an idea becomes an app. 1. Shape the idea and map the core flows. 2. Design the key screens. First designs come within the first week. 3. Build it. One person does all three, on one shared board. duncanbottrill.com

From idea to working app: StemNotes, my own cycling fuel app. It plans carbohydrate for each session in your calendar and sends the plan to your phone, watch and bike computer. In beta. App Store launch planned for November. duncanbottrill.com

How the first week goes. Got an idea: shape it, map the core flows, design the key screens. Got a live product: review it, rank the fixes, redesign the top ones. Either way, you see first designs within the first week. duncanbottrill.com

Ride with GPS homepage. What works: one clear promise, and the phone shows real turn-by-turn directions. 3 fixes: 1. Two buttons, two labels (Get Started, Join for free). Pick one. 2. The QR code covers the riders. Move it next to the store badges. 3. Halve the headline.
