Identify pain-points and China localization issues quickly, with actionable recommendations and strategy

An expert review from a Chinese UX research/designer is a great way to gauge how your concepts, prototypes, or products will perform in China. The process is done is a shorter time than other UX methodologies as an expert review does not involve recruiting or interviewing participants. At UX Spot our local experts analyze your digital product and provide reporting on key pain-points and recommendations on how to best localize in China. There are three common scenarios we do expert reviews:

Pre-test expert review

We run an expert review prior to usability testing to identify common issues that would arise in testing. After we clean out the obvious red flags and make adjustments, we're then able to capture more meaningful data in the usability testing phase with real target users.

In-depth expert review

An expert review with the goal to provide you with a more in-depth analysis including best-in-class comparison, user journey review, performance analysis, steps to localize your digital product in the Chinese digital ecosystem and more. In this scenario, the expert review can help you re-evaluate your product’s entry strategy, and provide recommendations for actionable next steps.

Expert review & design optimization

We are not just researchers, our team also consists of designers and developers. Not only do we provide the UX recommendations, but have capabilities to implement redesigns and new design ideas for your product in China.

“They produced not only a regular report, but also a competitor analysis and recommendations for our product’s adaptation in the Chinese market. I absolutely recommend this company for UX activities in China.”

Our extensive experiences help us predict how Chinese users will interact with your products

Over the years we've run usability tests with thousands of Chinese participants from multiple regions. The accumulated experience helps us to predict the expectations of Chinese users, obvious pain-points, and how they will interact with an interface. Our expert reviews are performed as a team of 2-3 UX research/designers to ensure the analysis has more input, is more objective, and overall provides more value.
