( UI and UX design )

Designed first, built once.

Design systems built and agreed in Figma before any production code is written.

Changing a design takes minutes. Changing a built feature takes days, and changing a built feature that other features now depend on takes considerably longer than that.

So we design first. Not as a formality before the real work, but because it is the cheapest place to have the arguments, change the layout and discover that a screen does not make sense.

( What this covers )

UI & UX Design, in practice

Interface design

Every screen your product needs, including the empty ones, the loading ones and the ones people see when something goes wrong.

Design systems

Reusable components, type scale, colour and spacing defined once, so the tenth screen takes an hour instead of a day.

Interactive prototypes

Clickable flows you can navigate and put in front of people before a line of production code exists.

Accessibility built in

Contrast, focus states and keyboard paths designed from the start. Retrofitting accessibility costs several times more than including it.

Responsive behaviour

How each layout behaves from phone to desktop, decided in design rather than improvised during the build.

Developer ready handover

Files organised so the build is unambiguous, whether we do it or your own team does.

( Worth talking to us if )

Any of this sounds familiar.

You have a product idea and need to see it before committing to a build
Your existing product works but people find it confusing
Every new screen looks slightly different from the last
You need something to show investors or early customers
Your developers are making design decisions in code by default

( How we work )

The shape of a typical build

01
Understand the job
Who uses this, what they are trying to finish, and what currently gets in their way.
02
Structure before surface
Layout and flow settled first. Colour and polish on top of a structure that already works.
03
Build the system
Components and tokens defined so the design stays consistent as it grows.
04
Prototype and agree
A clickable version to review, so approval is based on using it rather than imagining it.

( What you end up owning )

Everything, and no strings.

Figma source files, organised and named for someone else to work in
The component library and design tokens
An interactive prototype anyone can open
Specifications any developer can build from

( Built with )

Figma
Design tokens
Tailwind CSS
WCAG 2.2

Mainstream tools with deep talent pools, chosen so you are never dependent on us to maintain what we built.

Questions about ui and ux design

Can we take the designs elsewhere to build?: Yes. The Figma files are yours, organised for another team to work from. We would like to build it, but you are not locked in, and the files are not structured to make leaving difficult.
How many revisions are included?: Your proposal states a number, and it is a realistic one rather than a trap. In practice, designing structure before surface means most revisions are small by the time anyone is looking at colour.
Do you do brand and logo work?: We work with your existing brand. If you do not have one, we can define a workable visual direction for the product, but a full brand identity is a different discipline and we will say so rather than improvising it.
Is design worth it for an internal tool?: Often more than for a public site. Internal tools get used for hours a day by people who cannot leave, so friction compounds rather than costing you a visitor.
