UI/UX design

Most companies turn to design once there is already a measurable problem: online bookings get abandoned, staff take ten minutes over a two-minute task, customers phone in to do something the website has long been able to do. New colours will not help at that stage. You need to understand where people get stuck and why. Imagine a physiotherapy group practice in Klagenfurt that wants to offer online booking. Older patients cannot find the confirm button, younger ones drop out as soon as they are asked to create an account. Both findings came from one hour in which six people tried a prototype, and they carry more weight than any opinion voiced in a team meeting.

Everything this covers

For us, design is a work stage with outputs that developers and business teams can reuse. We combine these elements to suit each project.

Settle the details with an engineer

Interviews and analysis

Conversations with users and with the staff who currently take the calls, plus analysis of existing data: drop-off rates, search terms, support requests.

User flows and information architecture

We describe the key tasks step by step and arrange content so navigation follows them. Card sorting shows how users group terms on their own.

Clickable prototype

A Figma prototype that feels like the finished application, using real copy rather than placeholder text. It serves both as test material and as an unambiguous brief for development.

User testing by video call

Moderated sessions with participants from your target group who use the prototype from home and think aloud. You can watch live; we summarise the findings with priorities.

Accessibility from the start

Contrast, font sizes, focus order and understandable error messages to WCAG 2.1 AA. For online shops and services covered by the BaFG this is not optional.

Design system and handover

Colours, typography, spacing and components with all their states, such as empty, error or loading, documented so your developers can build without coming back with questions.

Our working method

We test early and in small rounds. A problem found in the prototype costs an hour to fix; in the finished product it costs weeks.

01

Understand

Interviews, data analysis and a workshop over video in which we agree on the two or three tasks the design absolutely must solve.

02

Sketch

User flows and rough wireframes, with several options for critical points such as sign-up or checkout, before time goes into detail.

03

Prototype and test

A clickable prototype is worked up and put through a first round of testing. We fix what surfaces and test again if needed.

04

Design system and support

Components are handed over to development, and we stay involved during the build so the finished product matches the tested prototype.

People say one thing and do another. In surveys, almost everyone claims they would rather create an account to save their details. In practice, many abandon the moment the registration form appears. We therefore make important decisions by watching people use a prototype, not by asking what they would prefer. An interview explains the why; a test reveals the what.

Frequently asked questions

Ideally from your own customers, recruited through a newsletter or the customer portal. Alternatively we recruit via research panels, in which case participants receive a small fee. Consent and recording are handled in line with the GDPR.

Especially then. Staff use internal tools for hours every day, and every wasted minute adds up. Test participants for internal applications are also easy to find.

Yes. We often start with an expert review and a short test of the current product. The outcome is a list of problems ranked by impact and effort that you can work through step by step.

The design can go straight into development with us or be handed to your own team. Either way the design system is documented so it works independently of us.

Where do your users get stuck?

Describe the product and the problem you are seeing. We will reply within one working day with a suggestion for how we would investigate it.
