Good design is not invisible. It is the difference between software people use and software people avoid. These five real-world redesigns show exactly what changes when a product finally gets the design investment it deserves.

Before and After: The Skins Factory Effect
The transformative impact of The Skins Factory's UI/UX design is vividly captured in the before-and-after shots of our projects, showcasing not just a change in appearance but an evolution in user experience. Let's delve into the differences we make when we take on a design project.

The Skins Factory and FortifyData: A Winning Collaboration in Cybersecurity Risk Management UI/UX Design
FortifyData, a world-leading Cybersecurity Risk Management platform that enables their clients to identity and manage risk exposure across the entire attack surface, brought The Skins Factory in to redesign their core platform UI/UX design. Our team refined the existing UI and UX over for 40 screens, while modernizing the visual design, and weaving neumorphic elements into the analytics’ visual design.
As you can see by the “Before” image, the design language they were using was functional but looked a little bit dated. We deployed a modern visual design using neumorphic embellishments with better use of screen real estate. A browser application UI lives in a widescreen screen orientation environment. Use up the horizontal screen real estate.

When Expertise Meets Excellence: How Our Collaboration with Iguana Solutions Transforms Complex Infrastructures
The Skins Factory was thrilled to work side-by-side with Iguana Solutions USA, a world-class managed services and hosting company that designs, creates and manages complex and critical infrastructures on physical, cloud or hybrid platforms. This collaboration brought together our deep industry knowledge of user-centered and user experience design with Iguana Solutions' unmatched technical prowess and innovation, to deliver transformative solutions for their clients facing intricate infrastructural challenges.
So this wasn’t a redesign project. They had rudimentary wireframes to start from. As you can see below, we didn’t have much to go on, but through notes and discussions with their team, we hit the ground running.

HODLIT
Mobile Cryptocurrency Exchange Platform UI/UX Design
Revolutionizing the Mobile Cryptocurrency Experience: A Look at HODLIT's UI & UX Redesign
HODLIT, a mobile cryptocurrency exchange platform, approached The Skins Factory to do a full redesign of their mobile application's UI & UX design. We started with a complete refresh of their onboarding process and user experience. To enhance the visual design, we opted for a sleek "panther black" backdrop infused with subtle undertones of deep purple. This choice ensured that any color incorporated later would pop off the screens, injecting a playful essence while upholding the platform's gravitas.

Hi Dog Gaming Platform
Gaming UI/UX Design. Desktop Client App.
Revolutionizing Gaming Experiences: The Skins Factory's Super Sleek UI/UX Design for Hi-Dog Network and Technology Company
Hi Dog Network and Technology Company, a leading game publishing studio, brought in The Skins Factory to design the UI/UX for their new gaming platform. Our design team was furnished a series of low-fidelity wireframes that we used as the foundation to build a sleek, intuitive interface. We chose a dark charcoal and black color theme so that Hi Dog's vibrant avatars, in-game assets, game banners and other IP, would jump off the visual foundation.

From Ordinary to Extraordinary: The Skins Factory's Impactful UI/UX Redesign for Acme's Inventory Application
The Skins Factory was brought in for two UI/UX redesign projects by Acme (the Client and service names have been changed to maintain strict confidentiality) to redesign their responsive browser applications. We focused on a super crisp, design language that deploys subtle modern trends, while making sure usability was amplified compared to the previous iterations. Foregoing utilizing a modal system, all secondary screens were created as slide-in panels. Super-wide, horizontal tables were visually broken up with colored, vertical columns.
To address the challenge of wide, horizontal tables with numerous columns, we designed the UI at a wider resolution of 3840 pixels instead of the typical 2400 pixels used in Bootstrap designs. Additionally, we implemented a Column Edit feature that allows users to select and modify column positions on the table.
