Great design solutions solve problems for customers, impact the business, and are generated by talented employees who are proud of the work they do. The resources within this Designer Toolkit can help you deliver for your customers—and your greater design team.

Steps to designing a delightful customer experience

  1. Find out what your customers really think by gathering feedback with a survey. Understand what they enjoy about the experiences you provide them.
  2. Quantify your customer pain points to help prioritize the most important problems to solve.
  3. After understanding your customer pain points, develop a plan to solve their biggest challenge first.

Do all this and more with effective survey tools that help your team develop engaging designs that your customers come to love and trust.

Build a high-performing and engaged design team

  1. Run a quarterly tracking survey that is related to issues that you are trying to measure, such as employee Net Promoter Ⓡ Score (NPS).
  2. Formulate questions that yield honest answers from your design team, so that acting on feedback can deliver the most impact.
  3. Gather feedback and follow up with participants. Showcase the data you found and create a plan of action to address issues.

Tracking surveys can help you understand the dynamics of the team and how challenges are changing over time.

Our sample survey templates make it easy for you to start collecting feedback in just minutes. Explore hundreds of questions across different survey types, all designed to get you accurate results you can rely on.
