UI/UX design in Birmingham
A configurator asks somebody to buy a thing that does not exist yet, which means the interface is carrying the whole burden of imagination. What it shows has to be accurate enough to trust and honest about where it stops.
UI/UX design for Birmingham ecommerce
The temptation with a configurator is photorealism, and it is usually the wrong target.
A rendering that looks like a photograph sets an expectation about material, colour and finish that the finished piece has to meet exactly, and screens do not agree with each other about colour. A clearly illustrative preview alongside real photographs of comparable finished work sets a fairer expectation and produces fewer disappointed openings. The interface decisions matter more than the picture. Choices should be presented in the order the maker needs them, with impossible combinations disabled and the reason given rather than silently absent. Price should move as choices are made, because the alternative is somebody assembling something for ten minutes and discovering the cost at the end. And the whole configuration must be recoverable — savable, shareable, and present on the order — since a considered piece is frequently discussed with somebody else before it is bought, and a configuration that cannot leave the tab is a conversation you are excluded from.
We have no office in Birmingham. Our studio is in Rajkot, India, and every project here is delivered remotely — if a supplier who can attend your premises matters to you, that is a fair requirement and we do not meet it.

UI/UX design questions from Birmingham
Three questions about the subject above. How we work, what it costs and who owns the code are answered on the service page.
Should the preview be photorealistic?
Usually not. A rendering that looks like a photograph promises an exact match on colour and finish that no screen can deliver, and the piece is judged against it on arrival. An obviously illustrative preview beside photographs of real finished work sets a fairer expectation and disappoints fewer people.
What happens with impossible combinations?
Disable them and say why. Removing an option silently leaves the customer wondering whether they imagined it, and letting them choose it produces an order somebody has to telephone about. One line explaining that this finish is not available on this material answers it permanently.
Why must a configuration be shareable?
Because a considered piece is discussed with somebody else before it is bought. A configuration that cannot leave the browser tab excludes you from that conversation, and the customer has to describe from memory what they built rather than sending it, which loses detail and sometimes the sale.
