Delivering value through user-centred design

By placing your customers at the centre of your project we’ll help you create experiences that transform your business and create competitive advantage. We do this by uncovering user needs and validating ideas through iterative testing.

Uncover user needs

We use user research to uncover and validate user needs in relation to your product or service.

Through a range of activities including field studies, interviews and usability testing we are able to quickly build up a picture of user needs and pain points with your existing product or service. We then analyse our findings and play back our insights to help digital and product teams make more informed decisions about which experiences and features will add the most business value.

Validate with certainty

We can help you validate with certainty by testing prototypes with customers and prospects. The results help guide which features to build and what to leave on the table – you’ll save time during development and have greater clarity on what it will take to deliver a delightful user experience.

We also have access to all the latest user experience reports from the world’s leading authority on UX, Neilson Norman to help guide design thinking.

Deliver delightful experiences

Our design and front-end teams work hand in hand to make sure we deliver responsive design solutions that are accessible and fast loading. We sweat the details to deliver experiences that are not only beautiful but add the most business value.

We are experienced meeting WCAG 2.1 accessibility standards and are equally at home developing single-page applications with frameworks like React or Vue.js.

Move faster with design systems

If you find yourself designing and building the same things over and over again, then you’re costing your organisation time and money. Our design systems and pattern libraries can help your teams move faster with more consistency when operating with a common design language.

We’ll help you build a design system that works for your organisation, delivering the most value to the teams that will be using it on a day-to day basis.

Experience design success stories

Designing an easy-to-use digital register for consumers & legal professionals

The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) were due to publish a new digital register to provide the legal services market with an online validation tool for the people and firms it regulates. 

We were briefed by the SRA to undertake user research to validate a range of user needs for the service and to design an easy-to-use service given the purpose of their register and the data set they had available to publish.

Improving the user experience of an overseas registration process

We worked with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) to improve the online guidance for their new registration process for nurses and midwives who trained outside the EEA.

The NMC approached us to help them improve this user experience to ensure that prospective applicants, employers and recruiters fully understood the overseas registration process and requirements.

Using insight & personalisation to improve customer engagement

We worked with the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) to re-design their flagship website landing pages and navigation to improve engagement and conversions.

The LTA tasked us with improving engagement based on feedback from customers and analytic data collected over the past year. We were asked to review their existing insight and provide direction on how to enhance customer engagement.
