From the "feature factory" product to the product we actually use.

Your product has a problem: you are adding features that no one uses. The issue is not the development. It's the lack of user vision.

Why your product roadmap is a list of features that nobody uses

The tragedy of products designed in a vacuum, without ever speaking to users.

The "feature factory" syndrome

Your product accumulates features because the competitor has 47, so you need to have 53. Result? An overloaded interface, lost users, and 68% of features never used. You develop to develop. Not to solve problems.

Agencies execute without questioning

Traditional agencies take your brief, create mock-ups, and move on. The problem is they have never challenged your assumptions. You thought users wanted a complex dashboard? No one checked that. You discover the mistake 6 months after the launch.

02 /

A user-first designed product. Validated at every stage.

At Dafolle, we start by understanding the real user needs (interviews, analytics, tests). We don't design 50 features. We design the 5 that will really drive engagement. And we test each hypothesis before developing. Result: zero useless features.

Our ServicesApp/Product Design

Everything you need, in a single subscription

01 /

Systematic user research

User interviews, behavior analysis (analytics), usability tests. We do not guess. We know.

02 /

User impact prioritisation

We identify the 20% of features that generate 80% of the value. The rest is put on the shelf.

03 /

Prototypes tested before development

On design, on prototype, we test with real users. We iterate until validation. Only then do we move to development.

04 /

Inclusive scalable design system

Reusable components, living documentation. Your team can extend the product without having to recreate everything.

05 /

Collaboration Product/Design/Dev

We work in a triptych with your PMs and your developers. No tunnel. Synchronized sprints.

06 /

Post-launch follow-up & optimisations

We track usage metrics. We continuously optimize via A/B testing and adjustments based on data.

Week 1-2

Discovery & User Research

User interviews, analytics analysis, competitive audit. We understand the real problems before designing.

Week 3-4

Definition of product vision

We translate the research into product vision: job stories, key user flows, hypotheses to test.

Week 5-6

Prototyping & User Testing

We design clickable prototypes of priority flows. We test with 15-20 users. We iterate.

Week 7-10

Design UI & Design System

We finalize the interface, we build the design system (components, patterns). Handoff optimized for development.

Week 11-12

Support dev & Pre-launch validation

We support developers during the implementation. We confirm that the design is being followed. Adjustments if needed.

Post-launch

Metrics Tracking & Optimisations

We track commitment, retention, and the usage of features. We optimize through A/B tests and new iterations.

Ready to stop developing unnecessary features?

We analyse your current product and show you exactly which features are being used (or not) and why.

We analyse your current product and show you exactly which features are being used (or not) and why.

68% of developed features are never used. Guess why.

Because they were invented in-house. Never tested with real users.

CritèresDafolleAgencyFreelance
Methodology
User research + Design Thinking + User testing at every stage
Direct execution of the client brief (no questioning)
Design based on the freelancer's personal intuition
User research
Includes: user interviews, analytics, usability tests (15-20 users minimum)
Excluded (or sold extra = never done, "too expensive")
"I asked 3 friends and my girlfriend" (spoiler: not your target)
Feature prioritization
Based on actual user impact (we keep the 20% that create 80% of the value)
All features from the brief are developed (even the unnecessary ones)
Prioritization? We do everything you ask without discussion
Prototyping & testing
Clickable prototypes tested before development (validation of hypotheses)
Static mockups validated internally then sent to development
Figma mockups without prototype (the developers guess the interactions)
Design System
Living and documented design system (reusable components, scalable)
Basic component library (undocumented)
Copied-pasted components without system logic
Product/Dev collaboration
Sprints synchronized with your PMs and developers (shared rituals, co-construction)
Design tunnel → delivery → good luck with the development
No collaboration (the freelancer delivers the mockups and disappears)
Post-launch follow-up
Analytics tracking + A/B tests + Continuous optimizations based on real data
No follow-up (project finished = mission completed)
None (unless you restart it 47 times and pay again)
Result
User-centric product with real engagement (+89% on average)
"Feature factory" product with 68% of features unused
Product that looks like what you asked for (but that no one uses)

The tools we use for App/Product Design

Any questions? We respond within 48 hours.

It is known that entrusting your design to an external team,
raises some questions. Here are our answers.

What is the difference between Product Design and UX/UI Design?

What type of products are you working on?

User research is conducted with our real users?

Are you working with our product/technical team?

How much does it actually cost?

Can you redesign an existing product or only create one from scratch?

User tests do not slow down the project?

Are you also handling the front-end development?

Can we A/B test several versions of the same feature?

Are you training our team to continue the design afterwards?
