Putting UX On the (Heat) Map

How our Dev Team’s User-First Approach Drives Your Success

Louis Sullivan famously said, “Form follows function.” Over a century later, the visionary Chicago architect’s words remain as relevant as ever. As a pioneer in skyscraper design, Sullivan understood that usability must always be at the heart of great design. Fast-forward to today’s digital age, this principle is still essential for success. 

In the world of websites and apps, user experience — or UX — has become a critical factor for businesses. An overly complex website that forces users to dig through endless menus or endure an onslaught of pop-ups will not build a brand, loyalty or, most importantly, revenue. On the other hand, an intuitive app that lets the user simply swipe right to meet the love of their life can achieve true cultural impact. 

At Russell Herder, we’ve made UX a cornerstone of our digital services, through dedicated UX expertise that delivers measurable results. Our web development team integrates UX design, cutting-edge tools and SEO insights to create user-first websites that drive purpose, engagement and ultimately, business. 

Understanding how users interact with your content is the key to designing websites with high conversion rates. Heatmaps and recorded user sessions provide actionable insights, uncovering friction points that hinder the user journey. With these insights in hand, our team crafts optimized content placements and refined navigation systems that guide users seamlessly toward key actions. 

Of course, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution for UX. Our clients span industries as diverse as engineering, hospitality, state agencies, nonprofits and law firms, each with unique audiences and needs. That’s where our data-driven approach comes in. Analyzing user behaviors, we make targeted adjustments that improve satisfaction and drive business objectives. Collaborating with our creative and content development teams, we ensure every project reflects the art and science of UX. 

At Russell Herder, we believe that great UX isn’t just about aesthetics — it’s about creating seamless, intuitive experiences that drive engagement and results. By combining data-driven insights, expert design and a user-first mindset, we help businesses turn visitors into loyal customers. Because when form truly follows function, everyone wins.
