Introduction: The ROI Trap Most Businesses Fall Into
The most important metric of all is ROI, so what is the value gained in comparison with the cost? On the other hand, the situation is that many companies are aiming for the highest ROI possible in the wrong ways and consequently wasting their resources. They do not take into account a very strong factor that is also very visible, user experience (UX) design, which is both powerful and visible; instead, they put their money into marketing, features, or even automation.
Just think about it for a second. When was the last time you removed an app from your device because it was difficult to learn, annoying, or just not pleasant? However, the company most probably lost a customer not because the product was worse, but because the experience was better.
For one thing, it is not only a matter of being nice and fancy with software design; it is more about how it feels, how it flows, how it connects with the user’s life, and how it travels alongside the user’s daily activities. And this is precisely where the disaster for business starts.
The ROI versus UX Myth
One of the most popular myths is: ROI and UX are at odds with each other.
The rationale is that ROI has money at its center, while UX is purely about creativity. One of them brings profit while the other one stays behind the scenes of the design.
This is totally incorrect.
Typically, the company calculates the ROI in a way that, apart from considering the sales income, also takes into account the costs that are associated with the operation of the business. However, the quality of user interactions, which should be understanding, pleasant, and simple, generally limits these costs.
- A bad user experience insidiously eliminates ROI.
- A long and cumbersome payment procedure results in customers abandoning their carts.
- A cluttered dashboard reduces the productivity of the staff.
- An exaggeratedly intricate and lengthy onboarding process will not only annoy the customers but will also discourage them from unintentionally experiencing and discovering the wonderfulness of the product.
When companies perceive UX as an inevitable burden instead of a blessing, they not only cut off the visual aspect but also eradicate the most significant metrics.
UX as the New ROI
The reality is that the investment in UX will not only get back the original amount but many times over, plus interest.
Forrester indicates the UX cost would be one dollar only, and the return would be a hundred-dollar such that this is not a design figure – it is an ROI story.
Why? Because nicely conducted user experience design lowers the cost, draws in more customers, and eventually more sales:
Reduced Support Cost: Users who find navigating the software very easy will not reach out to the support team or the help desk.
Increased Customer Loyalty: A delightful user experience will not only retain the users, but their allegiance will be based on ease and not on tricks.
Increased Conversions: Whether it’s registration, purchase, or upgrade—if the customer has been treated nicely, they are more likely to finish the transaction.
Sales Cycles that Are Shorter: With adequate sales software, it is less laborious to convince prospective customers.
One can assert that UX is not a design-related cost but an investment that promotes growth.
At Glocal View, we personally witness this phenomenon every day. Our clients come to us with an expectation for super-efficient software, but they receive not only user-friendly and visually attractive software but also measurable outcomes: reduced churn, happy customers, and faster adoption. That’s the true UX ROI.
The Hidden Link Between Design and Software Success
The top feature that sets apart good software from great software is not the number of features, but the extent to which the user has a strong connection with the software.
The secret to the triumph of software is the empathy that links design and software.
Excellent UX design takes into account the users with their needs, pains, and actions. It is about getting to know the user and providing them with a smooth journey. Everything matters, starting from simple navigation to less user interaction.
When empathy is the design’s core, it shows up in the business results:
- Fewer user errors → Less frustration, more trust
- Faster task completion → Higher productivity and satisfaction
- Consistent usability → Improved brand perception
This is not a miracle! Rather, it is a process. User tests, prototype iterations, and the application of human-centered design are the methods through which UX teams convert insights into user-friendly experiences.
Glocal View applies these methods at every phase of product design and development. Our UI/UX services merge innovative design and strict technical expertise so that your digital product not only works well but also pleases.
This is the actual digital transformation, not by means of an impressive rebranding but through the creation of people-friendly experiences that make their lives easier.

Conclusion
In a situation where rivals can replicate your features within a few months, the experience will be the actual differentiator.
A good user experience (UX) gives users the feeling that they are being understood. It transforms digital products into powerful instruments. It builds loyalty where marketing cannot, and it is involved in the ROI where the counting is difficult.
Therefore, the next time you think about ROI, do not limit yourself only to the figures that are presented on a dashboard. Consider the users’ feelings when they interact with your product, as that is where your true return is.
Glocal View is convinced that superior UX leads to superior business. By leveraging human-centered design, state-of-the-art technology, and strategic product development, we assist companies in transforming their software in accordance with the users’ requirements.
