Optimizing the design files not only made the team work faster, but also improved the user experience. These changes helped increase subscriptions and reduce user churn.
Results
- Team productivity doubled – designers and developers no longer waste time searching for components.
- UI-related bugs decreased by 30% thanks to a single, clean component library.
- New features (Upload a Plan / Renders / Panorama / Moodboards) helped grow subscriptions by 17% in the first 3 months.
- Fewer support requests – users stopped struggling with the interface
