Localization and following each platform's best practices are recommended. ASO requires ongoing effort such as revisiting keywords with each app update.

Which research methods and tools can you use in which stage of the development cycle? And how do you this?
How to make sure your new website won't be a failure? - Digital Elite Camp 2016AGConsult
The document provides guidance on when and how to redesign a website. It advises that redesigns often fail when they are not based on user research and facts, involve just visual changes without improving the user experience, or are part of a traditional redesign cycle. The key steps outlined are: 1) Conduct user research to understand user needs and problems; 2) Develop a strategy and roadmap based on the research; 3) Create prototypes and test designs iteratively with users. Continuous improvement based on data and user feedback is emphasized over periodic large redesigns. User research methods like analytics, surveys, testing are recommended to inform decisions.

What is UX? UX stands for user experience. Think about the last website that you visited. Was the goal of the website clear? Was it easy for you to find the information you needed? What about the colors? Did the colors match the theme? UX design is a way of thinking. It is the process of enhancing user satisfaction with a product by improving its usability, accessibility, and desirability. If the user has a good experience with your website, they will return. And they will invite their friends to come.
For nonprofits, having UX skills means developing campaigns that will inspire people to join your cause and give them the tools they can use to make a difference.
