Made by a Designer vs a CMO Yes, ex-Creative Director of Zoho Rafiq Aslam. He taught us the concept called "Visual Priority" Though we have been using the strategies without knowing the principle behind them. 1) Every creative should have the Visual Priority 2) What is Important or who is important 3) What/Whom to highlight 4) The Hook 5) Call to action Those 2 hours are pure learning about the fundamentals of marketing. #VisualPriority

"Designing a Responsive Website" What to Keep in Mind Designing for web and mobile isn’t just about shrinking layouts. It’s about rethinking the experience. 👇 Here are some key UI/UX principles, every responsive website should follow 1. Content Prioritization - Desktop has space for multiple elements side by side. - On mobile, hierarchy matters, headline, CTA, and key visuals must appear first. 2. Consistent Branding -Colors, typography, and icons need to stay consistent across breakpoints. -Users should feel it’s the same product no matter the device. 3. CTA Visibility -On desktop → button is aligned with eye-flow. -On mobile → CTA is centered and thumb-friendly. 4. Navigation Simplification -Full navigation bar for desktop. -Collapsible hamburger menu for mobile to reduce clutter. 5. Optimized Visuals -Hero image adapts to fit smaller screens without cutting important details. -Icons and logos scale proportionally for clarity. 6. Touch-Friendly Design -Buttons and links must be large enough for easy tapping. -Avoid placing clickable elements too close to each other. 7. Performance -Optimized images for faster load on mobile. -Minimal scripts to keep interaction smooth. 8. Content Chunking -On desktop: info can be grouped horizontally. -On mobile: stacking cards and sections vertically keeps flow natural. Responsive design is not about shrinking. It’s about rethinking layouts, interactions, and priorities for each device. Which of these principles do you think most websites ignore? #UIUXDesign #ResponsiveDesign #ProductDesign #UXPrinciples #UIDesign #DesignThinking #DesignInspiration

What US clients really want from an Indian tech partner After working closely with multiple US founders, I realised one truth: They don’t want more developers. They want more clarity. Here are the 5 things they value the most: [1] Directness - Clear yes/no. No sugarcoating. [2] Documentation - Simple, visual, decision-focused. [3] Predictability - No surprises. Timelines that don’t shake. [4] Transparency - Tell them early. Tell them honestly. [5] Proactive Thinking - Don’t wait for tasks. Think ahead. If Indian tech partners master these 5, the won’t just deliver software - they will earn lifelong trust. #clients #projects #trust #softwares

🚀 AI is revolutionizing teaching in Indian schools and beyond! Grading (subjective correction)assignments consumes a significant portion of teachers' time, up to 30-40% (EdTech Research, 2023), diverting their focus from student mentorship. Thanks to AI-driven grading, correction time has been slashed by 90%, enabling educators to prioritize personalized learning and enhance student outcomes (Harvard EdTech Study, 2023). 💡 @WeXL is spearheading this transformation in Indian K-12 schools: ✅ Instant Subjective Correction across subjects like Math, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Social Studies, and English—eliminating manual effort. ✅ Tailored feedback for each student, offering actionable insights for improvement. ✅ AI-powered student support, providing real-time progress tracking for more effective guidance. ✅ Substantial time savings, empowering teachers to dedicate more time to mentoring, facilitating faster student progress. The Impact? 🔹 Teachers shift focus to teaching & Mentoring rather than correction. 🔹 Schools witness enhanced student engagement and performance. 🔹 Students benefit from detailed individual feedback, enhancing subject proficiency. With AI-driven learning integral to India’s NEP, this innovation is not just forward-looking—it's imperative. 🇮🇳 Crafted in India, for India, and the world! AI-infused education holds the promise of reshaping classrooms globally. 📩 Interested in integrating AI-driven learning at your school? Contact us at Info@wexl.in or connect with the founders directly: 📧 bharat@wexl.in, kiran@wexl.in, naveen@wexl.in 🎥 Witness the impact: https://lnkd.in/gMiZnvX6 #AIinEducation #WeXL #EdTech #AIGrading #SmartTeaching #K12Schools #NEP #MakeInIndia #EducationRevolution

Decoding the "Product Page" for user persona : what triggers 'add to cart'? The catalogue page is the new battlefield of attention. A beautifully crafted mix of images , descriptions , prices , testimonials and guides and more .. designed not just to inform but to convert that too when user is seeing it online. Yet , not everyone processes this information the same way. Each click , scroll and pause tells a story of who the user is .. why they’re here .. what they are seeking .. what appeal to them .. and more .. Let’s explore how this plays out across user segments: 1] The Early Adopter -- first-time user : drawn to sharp visuals, “New Arrival” tags and innovation highlights. returning user : looks for updated models , version numbers and new / latest features introduced. catalogue focus area : images, feature highlights and specifications as well as launch date. motivation : be the first to own. "social credibility matters". 2] The Deal Hunter -- first-time user : immediately scans for MRP slashes and extra coupons. returning user : looks for flash sale badges and comparative pricing. catalogue focus : price , discounts , coupon codes , cashback. motivation : value for money .. wants to feel like they "beat the system". 3] The Utility Buyer : first-time user : trusts specifications and usage guides .. often arrives via search. returning user : checks what’s changed since last purchase. catalogue focus : specs , description , guides , warranty info. motivation : Precision over anything else .. needs to know “will this work for me?” 4] The Wanderer : first-time user : random scrolling. discovery-driven. returning user : less likely to come unless re-targeted. catalogue focus : images , ratings , lifestyle videos. motivation : casual browsing .. may convert if something "strikes a chord". --- so how catalogue re-thinking will help --- Catalogue as a "mirror of intent" What this segmentation uncovers is micro-motivation. Each part of your product page is a lever. And it matters whether you are talking to a first-time user with scepticism or a loyalist looking for reaffirmation. - do they want to see what others said (ratings)? - are they checking compatibility or size chart? - are they fixated on price drops? If we could dynamically tailor the page layout based on these personas in real-time, that would be true personalisation. Imagine every user landing on the product details page sees "content" that "strikes the right cord" At mPrompto, this is the future we are co-piloting and nudging the right content to the right user at the right moment in the journey. Untile next time , have a great weekend and happy browsing / shopping !! #ConsumerPsychology #EcommerceTrends #BuyingBehaviour #ProductPageOptimization #CatalogueDesign #DigitalBuyingJourney #RetailInnovation #UserExperienceDesign #PersonalisedShopping #mPrompto #ConversionOptimisation #ShoppingBehaviour

When I started Axis Web Art Private Limited, most agencies outsourced work to cut costs. It was transactional. Tactical. "Get this done cheaper" was the entire brief. But the best agencies I work with today? They're not outsourcing to save. They're outsourcing to scale. Because in 2025, the real bottleneck isn't money. It's capacity. Talent. Speed. Specialized skills on demand. The smartest agencies know this: They don't need to do everything in-house to stay premium. They just need the right partner to deliver consistently as if it's in-house. Here's what capability-driven outsourcing looks like: - Scaling 5 stores in parallel without hiring 5 new developers - Launching on Shopify, WooCommerce & Magento - with platform-native expertise - Getting senior engineering input without paying senior engineering salaries full-time - Freeing up internal teams to focus on strategy, not stuck in delivery cycles The agency game has shifted. You don't win by owning every brick. You win by building a better system. If your agency is hitting bandwidth ceilings, maybe you don't need more hiring. Maybe you need a backend partner who thinks like your frontend team. What are your thoughts on this shift? #ShopifyPartner #entrepreneurship #scaling #stores

In product development, speed without direction leads to costly detours. Prioritise process, validate early, and build with purpose to avoid future setbacks. #ProductDevelopment​ #Entrepreneurship #Startup #Founders #EngineeringManagement
