UI/UX Design & QA
Design people understand, quality you can prove
Design and QA are not phases at either end of a project. Our designers and test engineers sit inside the delivery team, so usability problems and defects surface while they are still cheap to fix.
Research before pixels
User interviews, journey mapping and clickable prototypes tested with real users before engineering starts.
A system, not screens
Tokenised design systems in Figma mapped one-to-one to coded components - no drift between design and build.
Automation that pays for itself
End-to-end suites covering critical journeys, running on every pull request with clear failure reporting.
Scope
What you get
A typical engagement includes everything below. We scope up or down after discovery rather than guessing at the start.
- User research and usability testing
- Wireframes, prototypes and UI design
- Design system and component documentation
- Automated E2E, API and regression suites
- Accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA) audit and fixes
- Performance and load testing
Approach
Technology-neutral delivery
We don't push a fixed stack. After discovery, we recommend the technologies that best fit your requirements, team, and long-term maintenance - whether that's .NET, Java, Node.js, Python, Go, React, or something else. If your team already runs a specific stack, we work in it.
Technologies we use
How this engagement typically runs
- 01
Discovery
Stakeholder interviews, user research, and heuristic review — producing a prioritised backlog of usability and quality risks.
- 02
Architecture
Design system token structure, component inventory, test pyramid strategy, and CI gates defined with the delivery team.
- 03
Design
Tokenised design system in Figma; clickable prototypes tested with real users; 1:1 mapping to coded components before build.
- 04
Build
Designers and test engineers embedded in sprints; E2E/API tests written alongside features; a11y gates in every PR.
- 05
Launch
Accessibility audit, performance budget validation, and regression suite sign-off before go-live.
- 06
Evolve
Usability testing cycles, flakiness dashboard, test maintenance rotation, or clean handover with training.
