- Carlos Viciana

Second to none

The depth of insight is second to none - and it is clear that actual thought and serious research has gone into them rather than simply rattling off the standard UX-by-the-numbers tropes.

- Daniel

Better than expensive courses

Your case studies are hands down the best (and fastest) way I'm learning UX—better than the many expensive courses I've bought.

- Kyleen S

Entertaining and informative

Entertaining and informative. More memes please.

- Anonymous

Insights we can use

BFM+ is an archive of small insights which we can then use in our product.

- Alex

I recommend you a lot

Been following you a long time and learned a lot. Awesome stuff, always on point and I recommend you a lot.

- Fichte42

Very helpful heuristics

I work in a financial institution and there's relevant content for me, with general UX advice and heuristics that are very helpful.

- Anonymous

Stayed for the memes

Came for the UX research, stayed for the memes.

- Matt B

Unique blend of psychology insights

A unique blend of psychology insights and real-world examples not only demystifies app flows, but also cultivates a clear understanding of why some things work while others don't.

- Marc Schmitt

The best UX case studies

The best UX case studies on internet.

- Vadim

So fun to read

I've never encountered a UX design blog that is so fun to read. Helpful for those just starting in UX to understand basics; also helpful for experienced designers to stay in the loop.

- Anna Zelenskaya

I learn something new every time

Vibe of the newsletters and articles makes me feel like you're a friend. Succinct, clear and insightful: I learn something new every time I read your work!

- Li-Lian

A gold mine

The case studies are a gold mine. They help me think more critically when designing and the UX Bites show specific examples of great UX in the wild.

- Anonymous

The best learning tool

Probably the best learning tool in my arsenal. The case studies have the right amount of detail with the ux bites being an excellent addition.

- Niko Xydakis

Truly unique

The long case studies are truly unique pieces in this industry of fast-paced pop-psychology.

- Mark Buskbjerg

A game-changer

Honestly, it's a game-changer. BFM has a way of making the tricky parts of UX design super approachable and fun to learn. Amazing way to deepen your knowledge in UX design.

Millions of pounds in new business

I’ve incorporated a handful of Built for Mars' recommendations into my product roadmap. These insights enabled my team to secure millions of pounds in new business.

*chefs kiss

The way you've taken the UX concepts, summarised them, and seamlessly docked them with the case studies and bites is *chefs kiss*.

- Richard Boyd

Genuinely make me giggle

The case studies deliver a lot of thoughtful insights while genuinely making me giggle.

- Miha Su

One of the best

One of the best collections of UX principles out there. There's a lot more to what we do rather than just a polished interface.

- Diogo

A continuous stream of "aha!" moments

BFM+ provides such a nice way to learn new things without being overwhelming. The UX bites are an amazing way for anyone to have a continuous stream of "aha!" moments.

6 years of testing on billions of users

BFM+ teaches the same concepts that I've refined from helping hundreds of businesses improve their conversion rates, churn and retention. This stuff works.

It reduced my churn by 66%

You read that right; I reduced the churn rate on BFM+ by 66% in less than 10 weeks.

I did this by applying the concepts I teach, and using subtle UX to frame, highlight and deliver value.

  • Column Heading

And many other's too

For 6 years I've been a UX consultant to some of the best product teams in the world.

I've personally tested these techniques on hundreds of millions (if not billions) of users.

  • Column Logo

    "Improved our UX significantly with a noticeable impact on conversion."

  • Column Logo

    "Crisp and clear feedback that boosted our conversions by 16%."

Alternatives

Let's do a very fair, unbiased and objective comparison of what your options are.

Free stuff

Can you filter out bad or conflicting advice? How about AI-generated garbage, or sponsored posts? Cut out the noise and buy back your time.

UX courses

Did you know that only ~10% of people who purchase an online course ever finish it? They’re usually too hard to implement. They also often cost thousands of pounds.

Hiring someone

This is actually a great option if you can afford it (avg. ~$80k). Give them access to BFM+ and unleash their productivity.

FAQs

How does the Bootcamp work?

After subscribing, you'll be automatically enrolled in the Bootcamp.

In it, I've curated a series of things to read, exercises to try, ideas to explore and Cheatsheets to copy.

You'll need about 1/2 hours each week.

Will I need BFM+ after my 5-week Bootcamp?

Roughly 95% of people who complete the Bootcamp, continue using BFM+ after their 5 weeks.

In fact, once teams work out how to properly use BFM+, it's incredibly sticky.

But you can also cancel anytime from inside your account.

Is this a UX course?

No, it's categorically not a course.

There are no boring Figma exercises. You won't find yourself spamming "next" to complete random modules.

Instead, it's a structured library of content—but you can dive straight into whatever problems you're facing.

Why don't I just ChatGPT it?

You're here because you already know that although ChatGPT will say 80% of the right things, knowing when / how to use the other 20% is what's important.

Besides, if AI replaces design, taste and human insight is what's left.

How often is the library updated

Most days, but you wouldn't notice anyway.

There's already more content here than you'll ever need.

Do you have content on my industry?

Maybe, but that's not how Built for Mars is designed to be used.

You probably already know your industry quite well—this is your chance to look at new references.

Instead of thinking "I'm a bank, so I must do bank things", try approaching problems or topics, such as churn, retention, activation, conversions or user delight.

Billing

Do you offer discounts for students and educators?

Yes, complete this form.

What are you waiting for?

Forget about spending hundreds (or thousands) of dollars on a course. Start your UX bootcamp today, and make learning a habit.
