An App Made in Heaven: The Secret to Great UI and Better Security

In the intricate, highly sophisticated world of application development, there’s obviously a lot of attention paid to a number of moving parts. From aesthetic design to mobile responsiveness to functionality, there’s not much you can ignore.

But finding an app that has a well planned, superbly executed user interface (UI) and rock-solid security measures are relatively few and far between. 

So how do you know you’re getting an app made in heaven? Let’s start with UI.

UI That Works 

Good UI makes the user-experience easy, pleasant and comfortable. It offers:

• Easy, intuitive navigation and design
• Robust functionality
• Bug-free operation across all operating systems, including mobile
• Quick response and loading times
• Seamless integration with client applications/systems

At SIGNiX, our e-signature technology has been designed with our clients and their signers in mind. Our interface makes the signing experience intuitive. Once a signer receives a link to a document, our software prompts and guides the process of setting up signing credentials and the signer is then immediately guided to the main event: initialing and signing the documents. There, the signer will find colored tabs and simple instructions on how and when to complete the signature process. It’s easy and effective.

Security That Stands the Test of Time

But good UI is pretty much valueless unless it’s backed by robust security. After all, maintaining the validity of documents and protecting the data in the documents from hacking are the top issues to address when moving to an e-signature solution.

So what makes our security stand out? For one, our signatures are independently verifiable. Because we base our technology on international, published standards and permanently embed the signatures in each document, we don’t have to store our clients’ documents on our servers. If the client prefers, we can digitally shred our copies of their documents, giving hackers one less opportunity to gain access to important data.

Every SIGNiX document is also tamper-evident to detect potential fraud. Our solution also incorporates a complete, transparent audit trail that provides sound legal evidence of a signature’s validity that will stand the test of the courtroom.

Combining a great UI experience with top-of-the line security takes commitment and a lot of time to get it right. Our best advice is to always keep end-users in mind. And as a customer – only settle for the best of both.
