Atarim for UX/UI Designers: Managing Design Reviews and Iterations

The Challenges UX/UI Designers Face

1. Scattered Feedback: Designers often receive feedback from various channels like emails, meetings, and tools, which can be hard to track and implement cohesively.
2. Managing Design Iterations: Tracking multiple versions of designs while incorporating feedback from clients and users can slow down the iteration process.
3. Device Compatibility: Ensuring designs function seamlessly across desktop, tablet, and mobile views requires additional testing and adjustments.
4. Time-Consuming Collaboration: Designers spend significant time explaining designs to stakeholders and collecting actionable feedback.
5. Alignment with Development Teams: Translating design requirements to developers can lead to misinterpretation and delays without a clear communication framework.

How Atarim Supports UX/UI Designers

1. Centralized Feedback and Collaboration

Atarim simplifies the feedback process by consolidating it in a single platform.

• Visual Feedback: Stakeholders and team members can leave comments directly on designs or live websites, pinpointing the exact elements needing changes.
• Contextual Feedback: Each feedback is automatically tied to the element it refers to, eliminating ambiguity.

Example: Steph receives feedback on a prototype, where clients click directly on areas needing adjustments, such as a misaligned button or incorrect font size.

2. Streamlined Design Iterations

Atarim ensures faster and more efficient design iterations with task and feedback tracking tools.

• Version Management: Upload multiple versions of designs and track changes with detailed comments for each iteration.
• Task Tracking: Convert feedback into actionable tasks, assign them to team members, and update their statuses (e.g., Open, In Progress, Pending Review).

Example: After uploading a second version of a homepage design, Steph reviews client comments requesting changes to the header size and color palette.

3. Responsive Testing Across Devices

Atarim’s Responsive Testing feature enables designers to ensure consistency across desktop, tablet, and mobile layouts.

• Device-Specific Feedback: Designers can toggle between breakpoints and add feedback for each device view.
• Comprehensive Testing: Catch and address layout issues across multiple devices in one place.

Example: Steph notices overlapping text in mobile view and creates a task to adjust font scaling for smaller screens.

4. Enhanced Collaboration with Teams

Atarim bridges the gap between designers, developers, and stakeholders, ensuring a cohesive workflow.

• Shared Workspaces: Organize projects by teams or clients for better visibility and collaboration.
• Integrations with Design Tools: Export designs from tools like Figma or Adobe XD and share them directly in Atarim for review.

Example: Steph shares a Figma export of a product page with the development team via Atarim, where developers can add comments and clarify requirements.

5. Efficient Feedback Loops

Atarim helps UX/UI designers speed up the feedback and review process.

• Easy Collaboration: Stakeholders can review and provide input in the same task without requiring additional tools.
• Notifications: Designers receive updates via email on new feedback or changes, enabling quicker responses.

Example: A client reviews a design mockup and provides immediate feedback during a collaboration session, saving time on follow-ups.
