Solution overviews (diagrams that describe how a particular feature works) are created by the Project Manager and the CTO in conjunction with the design team. The User Interface Designer must take these raw directions and combine them with the desired aesthetic look to create web user interfaces and usability that meets feature requirements, while still looking great. The bulk of the user interface design are screenshots and a logical description of major user interactions, error conditions and a series of acceptance tests. Designs must be clear, concise and as technically complete as possible. These designs show the developers how to build features, for QA to perform test cases, and for the technical writers to create end-user documentation.

The UI Designer works closely with the design team members in an iterative process to ensure the successful and accurate transition of the designs to the final product. Once features have reached a certain maturity stage, the UI Designer will conduct usability testing with internal and external resources to fine-tune and finalize the user interface .
