Performing UX Research is Proven to Lead to Better Outcomes

User experience research is an intrinsic part of the user experience design process. UpTop utilizes lean UX research methodologies and we understand that research can take on many shapes and sizes. Our approach is to determine the right research strategy for you and your project that will generate the actionable insights needed for a successful outcome.

UpTop uses a mix of quantitative and qualitative research methods that help form a clearer picture of the user experience, providing both the What and the Why behind user actions. Sometimes we do all of the necessary research, while other times we augment any existing research that you might have on hand.

Take a look at the different UX research activities we most commonly use below. We’re more than happy to discuss with you any questions you might have or to see which might be a right fit for your next project.
