Client and Company’s Background

Razaullah Khan, serving as the Managing Partner at iBox, brings forth a wealth of experience and expertise in the realm of branding, web, and application design and development. iBOX stands as a premier entity in the UAE, offering comprehensive solutions tailored to meet the evolving needs of businesses across various sectors. However, Raza felt an instant need to revamp the agency’s UX Design & Development, Discovery & Wireframing, and .NET Development. 

Challenges and Scope of Work

The company’s current UX design was not intuitive or user-friendly, it resulted in low user engagement, high bounce rates, and ultimately, decreased customer satisfaction and retention.

The discovery phase lacked proper alignment with Wireframing and UX design, leading to miscommunication, unclear project objectives, and ultimately, a product that did not meet user needs or business goals.

The Company relied on .NET development for its applications but lacked expertise or resources; it led to subpar performance, security vulnerabilities, and difficulties in maintaining and updating the application.

Existing legacy systems did not seamlessly integrate with AWS services. Hence, it required significant effort to migrate data and functionality.

Poor User Experience (UX)

Disconnected Discovery and Wireframing

Inadequate .NET Development

Legacy Systems Compatibility

Strategies Implemented by Figzol for Successful Outcomes

Figzol's work resulted in the development and delivery of a complex unified CMS system for the company’s multiple websites. However, Figzol became the essential partner that the company was truly in need of. 

Comprehensive Discovery Process

Our professionals conducted thorough research to understand user needs, business objectives, and market trends


Implemented techniques such as user interviews, surveys, and competitive analysis to gather valuable data.

Streamlined Wireframing Process

Figzol’s team utilized Wireframing tools and techniques to create low-fidelity prototypes that visualize the layout and structure of the product.


Iterated quickly based on feedback from stakeholders to refine the wireframes and ensure alignment with project goals.


Ensured that wireframes effectively communicated the user flow, functionality, and features of the product.

User-Centric UX Design

Our team of professionals applied user-centered design principles to create intuitive and engaging user experiences.


Developed user personas and user journey maps to empathize with users and understand their needs, goals, and pain points.


Conducted usability testing and gathered feedback at each stage of the design process to validate design decisions and make iterative improvements.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

We fostered collaboration between discovery, design, and development teams to ensure alignment of goals, priorities, and deliverables.


Encouraged open communication and knowledge sharing to leverage the expertise of each team member and drive innovation.


Established regular checkpoints and review sessions to evaluate progress, address challenges, and make necessary adjustments.

Modern .NET Development Practices

Our Experts embraced modern .NET development frameworks and technologies to improve productivity, performance, and scalability.


Adopted agile development methodologies such as Scrum or Kanban to facilitate collaboration, adaptability, and continuous improvement.


Implemented DevOps practices to automate build, deployment, and testing processes, enabling faster time-to-market and higher-quality releases.


Invested in continuous learning and skill development for .NET developers to stay updated with the latest best practices and advancements in the .NET ecosystem.

Results and Feedback from the Client

I am extremely satisfied with the discovery and findings phase of our project. The Figzol team's efforts in this phase were exceptional, resulting in the development and delivery of a complex Unified CMS System for multiple websites of high quality. The thoroughness and attention to detail during the discovery phase played a pivotal role in achieving this successful outcome with our in-house development teams. I appreciate the dedication and expertise demonstrated by the Figzol team throughout this process. The team of Figzol worked thoroughly and was attentive to detail during the discovery phase, leaving the client delighted with the engagement. They met milestones on time and handled feedback well.

Project and Time Management Experience with Figzol

All project milestones were successfully reached within the established timeframes, showcasing the team's diligent effort in both anticipating and addressing potential risks and dependencies well in advance, thereby ensuring effective management and timely delivery of project outcomes.

Areas of Improvement

We see no areas of improvement yet; the team of Figzol was highly cooperative and professional.
