Decide what to build before you build it
Discovery, user research, prototypes and a roadmap — so the product you invest in is the one customers actually want.
Product Strategy & UX Design
The cheapest place to fix a product is on paper. Every week of discovery and design saves several weeks of engineering spent building features nobody uses, and it is the difference between a launch that gets traction and one that quietly goes nowhere.
We run structured discovery with founders and business owners: who the product is for, what job it does for them, what the smallest valuable version looks like, and how you will know it is working. Then we design it — user flows, wireframes, high-fidelity interfaces and clickable prototypes that you can test with real users before any production code exists.
Because our designers work alongside our engineers, what we design is buildable, estimable and accessible. You leave discovery with a validated scope, a fixed estimate and a roadmap — whether you build with us or with someone else.
Delivered as one complete product
Everything a production-grade product needs, built by the same senior team from start to finish.
Discovery workshops
Facilitated sessions that turn goals, assumptions and constraints into a clear problem statement and success measures.
User research & validation
Interviews, surveys and usability tests with your target customers, so decisions rest on evidence rather than opinion.
User journeys & MVP scope
Mapped flows and a prioritised feature set that separates the must-have first release from the nice-to-have roadmap.
UX/UI design & prototyping
Wireframes through to polished, on-brand interfaces and clickable prototypes ready for testing and engineering.
Design systems & accessibility
Reusable components, tokens and WCAG-aligned patterns so the product stays consistent and inclusive as it grows.
Roadmap & estimate
A phased plan with a fixed price for phase one — a document you can take to investors, a board or another supplier.
From first call to live product
- 01
Align
Kick-off to capture goals, users, constraints and what “done” looks like for the business.
- 02
Research
Talk to real users and look at the competition; find the gap between what people say and what they do.
- 03
Design
Flows, wireframes and prototypes, iterated quickly with your feedback and user testing.
- 04
Plan
Scope, estimate and roadmap, with the engineering team involved so nothing is designed that cannot be built well.
Typical projects
Validating a new idea
Founders who want evidence before committing serious money — a two-to-four-week discovery that de-risks the investment.
Redesigning an existing product
A product that works but frustrates users or under-converts, redesigned on the basis of research rather than guesswork.
Pre-build scoping for investment
A credible scope, design and estimate to support a funding round, grant application or board decision.
What makes the difference
Designers and engineers, one team
Designs are reviewed for buildability and cost as they are made, so the estimate you get is one we will stand behind.
Evidence over opinion
We test with real users early and often — cheap changes on a prototype instead of expensive ones in code.
Yours to take anywhere
Every deliverable — research, designs, roadmap, estimate — is yours, with no obligation to build with us.
Product Strategy & UX: your questions
Straight answers on cost, timing and how we work.
Typically two to four weeks, depending on how many users we need to speak to and how much design is required. You get research findings, user journeys, an MVP scope, prototypes and a fixed first-phase estimate.
Often built together
Product Engineering
One senior team takes your idea through discovery, design, build and launch — and stays to scale it. This is how we built theSBKdance, a live events marketplace.
SaaS & Web Platforms
Dashboards, workflows, subscriptions and integrations — custom web applications that your customers pay for and your operation runs on.
Mobile Apps
Cross-platform apps that feel native, share a backend with your web product, and ship to both app stores from a single codebase.
