Frequently asked questions

When should we use this guide?

Before asking for an estimate or approving changes to an existing mobile or web app. You can also use it to review proposals you’ve already received.

What if we don’t know what’s causing the problem?

Start with what you’ve noticed: repeated support questions, users dropping off or something that feels difficult. The guide helps you separate facts from guesses and decide what to check first.

Will it help us choose between a fix, redesign and rebuild?

It gives you questions to compare the options and discuss them with your team. Decisions about replacing software still need an engineer’s assessment of your app.

Can we use it with our own team or agency?

Yes. Share the guide and adapt the request template for any designer, developer or agency. You don’t need to hire Fortnight or book a call.

What do I get when I sign up?

A free 13-page PDF with a worked example and a request template you can copy. You’ll also join Fortnightly for practical design, development and product emails every two weeks. Unsubscribe anytime.

Can Fortnight help with our app?

For feedback on your app, apply for a free UX audit. We review each application and get in touch if we can offer a review. For a wider project, email our team.
