San Francisco, without a doubt, remains the global leader in the tech industry. Pretty much everyone has heard of Silicon Valley, the region which has a long history of innovation and is the biggest IT hub in the world.

Silicon Valley is home to world’s largest tech companies like Google, Apple, Facebook, Twitter, Intel, Oracle, Nvidia, HP, IBM, Salesforce, and many more.

There are more than 160 unicorns (companies valued at over $1B) in San Francisco Bay Area and more than 30,000 tech startups, making it the #1 city/area by the number of tech related businesses.

According to data presented by Pitchbook-NVCA, in 2021 San Francisco Bay Area received the most venture funding in the US, accounting for more than 36% of all VC (venture capital) investment.  

While lots of IT professionals and tech companies have left California due to multiple reasons: 2020-2021 Covid pandemic, high taxes, high rent prices, pollution, crowds, etc., the tech scene in San Francisco is thriving again, mainly because of Artificial Intelligence which is booming.

Office workers, tech professionals and even tourists are now returning to San Francisco, even though lots of employees still prefer the remote or hybrid work schedule. 

There are multiple reasons why San Francisco is still the leading tech hub in the US and in the world:

• Proximity to Silicon Valley

• Proximity of prestigious universities like Stanford and Berkeley

• Tech giants headquartered in the area

• Thousands of tech startups

• Tech-savvy population and students

• Venture capital funds

Have you ever noticed how some websites and apps just feel easier to use than others? That's because of the UX/UI design - basically, the people who make sure everything looks good and is easy to navigate.

UX/UI design services are closely connected, but they are not the same. They are actually about different parts of the design and to be effective they must work together.

• UI (user interface) design concentrates on visual elements. It is all about how things look and work on a product, like colors, fonts, and buttons.

• UX (user experience) refers to the overall experience a person has with a product  – how easy it is to use the product, how it makes the user feel, and whether it is possible to easily get what is needed from it.

According to research conducted by Forrester, a well-designed user interface (UI) can increase a website's conversion rate by 200%, whereas a better user experience (UX) design could raise it by up to 400%.

In this connection, the importance of UX/UI Design cannot be overstated. Nowadays users have high expectations for the products they use, if a product is not easy to use or enjoyable, users will quickly abandon it. 

UX/UI design can help:

• Enhance user satisfaction

• Reduce bounce rates

• Lead to higher customer retention and revenue

UX Design has also an important role in Inclusive Government Design, which makes government services accessible and user-friendly for diverse and marginalized communities.  

But how do choose the right UX/UI Company? 

1. Review the company's portfolio and make sure they have experience in your industry

2. Look for companies that understand your target audience to meet their needs.

3. Inquire about their design process: research, wireframing, prototyping, and testing.

4. Choose a company that maintains transparent and open communication and keeps you involved throughout the design process.

5. Read client reviews to check their reputation and client satisfaction.

6. A good design company should be up-to-date with the latest design trends and technologies.

Taking into consideration all these tips you will manage to select the right UX/UI Design Company that will help to achieve your goals.
