We understand
the dev world

We know how much developers hate tools that provide value but are a pain to integrate or use. We've spent a lot of time working with developers, designing tools specifically for them, so we're ready for dealing with complexity.

Keys to designing
developer experiences

Creating developer tools is tougher than designing consumer apps. To provide an awesome experience, we focus on understanding the domain and the developer's perspective. Our approach is based on three key principles:

Understanding the user’s tasks

While consumer apps are typically designed for specific tasks like sending emails or booking taxis, developer products are more challenging. They need to support a wide range of interactions and cater to complex user goals.

Understanding the context in which they perform those tasks

To create an excellent developer experience, we consider three levels of context:

  • immediate context – the user's current actions

  • intermediate context – the user's ongoing task within the app

  • broad context – the user’s task for their job.

Striking the right balance between simplicity and control

Our goal is to make things as simple as possible for new users while also offering experienced users the power and control they need. This can be letting developers fine-tune low-level settings according to their preferences.

UX design at Eleken is about making things functional, not pretty

For software tools, functionality, lightweight design, and adaptability are crucial. Here are some examples of solutions we created with developers and for developers:

  • Focusing user attention on what is essential
  • Displaying dependabilities on a visual canvas
  • Concentrating lots of data on a single screen
  • Minimizing distractions with minimalist colors and visuals

What businesses say about working with us

"User feedback of our software has changed from "this looks complicated" to "this looks easy", and our software progressed from a prototype, to actual, real, usable software."

"Eleken is very fast and efficient. Whenever we ask them for something, they have it ready by the next day. If we can’t provide immediate feedback, they keep working on other things to avoid wasting time waiting."

"The designer was able to very quickly learn about what we wanted to build, even though our product was very specific to our domain. She asked the right questions and confidently pushed us until she was crystal clear in her understanding of what needed to be done.The end result was a prototype that was very functional and created a very thoughtful design."
