  • UX architecture + user flows
  • Wireframes for every template
  • High-fidelity UI, all breakpoints
  • Clickable Figma prototype
  • Design system + component library
  • Annotated developer handoff

Redesign & refresh

For sites that work but no longer convince

We audit what you have — analytics, heatmaps, UX heuristics — keep what earns its place, and redesign what doesn't. Your content, structure, and SEO equity survive; the dated visual layer doesn't. Most redesigns re-platform nothing and still feel like a different company built them.

  • UX + conversion audit
  • Before/after page inventory
  • Refreshed visual language
  • Redesigned key templates
  • Migration-safe design specs

From scratch

For brands starting from a logo — or from nothing

Some clients arrive with brand guidelines; some arrive with a name and a direction. Either works. We extend an existing identity into a full digital design language — type scale, color system, grid, motion — or build that identity first, then design the product on top of it. One team, no handover gap between brand and UI.

  • Digital brand language
  • Type, color + spacing systems
  • Art direction + moodboards
  • Full UI design from zero
  • Brand-consistent motion rules
02 / What we design

The full design stack, under one roof.

03 / Figma, properly

We don't draw in Figma. We engineer in it.

The difference between a pretty file and a professional one is structural — and it's what your team inherits when we leave.

live-demo / hover to inspect auto-layout

Files that behave like production code.

Every frame we ship is structured — auto-layout, tokens, constraints — so it resizes, restyles, and scales the way the built product will. Hover the card: those spacing tags aren't decoration, they're how our files actually read in Figma.

auto-layout / 100%

Auto-layout everything

Every frame we ship is fully auto-laid-out — resize any component and it reflows like production code. No detached, hand-nudged frames that fall apart the moment content changes.

variables / tokens

Variable-driven tokens

Color, typography, spacing, and radii defined as Figma variables with light/dark modes — a one-to-one map to the CSS custom properties your developers will write.

components / variants

Variant-complete components

Buttons, inputs, cards, and nav built as component sets with every state — default, hover, focus, disabled, error — as variants. One source of truth, zero rogue copies.

prototype / smart-animate

Prototypes that feel shipped

Flows wired with smart animate, overlays, and scroll interactions. Stakeholders test the product months before launch — and usability problems surface while they're still cheap.

dev-mode / annotations

Dev Mode-native handoff

Named layers, structured pages, annotations, and measurements that make Figma's Dev Mode actually useful. Developers inspect, copy, and build — no archaeology required.

branching / versioned

Branching & version control

Explorations happen on branches, decisions get merged, history stays clean. Your Figma file is an asset your team inherits, not a junk drawer of 'final_v7_REAL'.

04 / Every screen

Responsive isn't a checkbox. It's three designs.

Most agencies design desktop and let the build ‘adapt’ the rest. We design mobile, tablet, and desktop as deliberate layouts — recomposed navigation, reflowed grids, touch-first interactions — then spec the behavior between them.

Desktop

Tablet

Mobile

  • Desktop · Wide-canvas layouts that use the space — editorial grids, generous negative space, detail that rewards a big screen.
  • Tablet · Not a squashed desktop. Navigation, grids, and touch targets recomposed for the in-between sizes most teams skip.
  • Mobile · Where most of your traffic lives. Thumb-reach navigation, readable type scales, and interactions designed for touch first.
05 / How it works

Discovery to handoff, week by week.

  1. 01Day 1

    Discovery call

    Free 30-minute call. We dig into your goals, audience, and constraints — and tell you honestly whether you need a full redesign or a sharper, smaller intervention.

  2. 02Week 1

    Fixed-price proposal

    Written scope, fixed price, week-by-week timeline. Research, UX, UI, prototyping, and handoff quoted as separate line items so you can shape the engagement.

  3. 03Weeks 1–2

    Research & UX architecture

    Audit, competitor analysis, user flows, sitemap, wireframes. Structure gets agreed here — where changes cost a conversation, not a week of rework.

  4. 04Weeks 2–5

    UI design

    Visual language first — type, color, grid, components — then high-fidelity screens for every template and breakpoint. Weekly reviews in the live Figma file, comments answered within a day.

  5. 05Weeks 5–6

    Prototype & test

    Key flows wired into an interactive prototype with smart-animate transitions. We test with real users where the budget allows, and with structured stakeholder walkthroughs where it doesn't.

  6. 06Week 6+

    Handoff — or build

    Annotated, Dev Mode-ready files with a live walkthrough for your developers. Or skip the handoff entirely: we build what we design, in Next.js, Shopify, Wix Studio, or Webflow.

06 / Why us

Design that survives contact with development.

  • 1:1
    Design-to-build parity

    We're designers who ship code. Every file we hand off maps one-to-one to how developers actually build — tokens to CSS variables, components to components, breakpoints to media queries. Nothing gets 'interpreted'.

  • 100%
    Auto-layout, variables, variants

    No detached frames, no hard-coded hex values, no orphan styles. Files built to the standard Figma's own best-practice guides describe — because your team inherits them after we leave.

  • 3+
    Breakpoints per screen

    Every screen is designed at mobile, tablet, and desktop minimum — more where the layout demands it. Responsive behavior is specified per component, not left for the build to improvise.

08 / Common questions

Before you brief us.

Nine questions every prospective design client asks. Answered upfront so the discovery call stays focused on your specific project.

  • A focused landing page or single-flow design starts around £2,000. A full multi-page website design — research, UX architecture, high-fidelity UI at three breakpoints, interactive prototype, and developer handoff — typically runs £5,000–£18,000 depending on page count and complexity. Design systems and brand-from-scratch work are quoted per scope. Every engagement starts with a free 30-minute discovery call and ends in a fixed-price written proposal, so the number you sign is the number you pay.

  • A landing page or single flow: 2–3 weeks. A redesign of an existing site: 3–6 weeks. A full multi-page website design: 4–8 weeks. Brand-from-scratch engagements: 6–10 weeks. The honest caveat every agency should give you: the single biggest timeline variable is feedback speed on your side. Our weekly review cadence and phase sign-offs exist precisely to keep that loop short — and your proposal includes a week-by-week schedule so 'how long' is never a guess.

  • A production-ready Figma file: high-fidelity screens for every page and breakpoint, a token-driven design system (variables for color, type, and spacing; components with full variant sets), an interactive prototype of the key flows, annotated developer handoff via Dev Mode, exported assets, and a recorded walkthrough. Plus the working files — wireframes, research notes, and explorations — because you paid for the thinking, not just the pixels.

  • Both. Design-only clients get a handoff their developers can build from without a single clarifying call. But we're also a development studio — Next.js, Shopify, Wix Studio, Webflow — so if you'd rather one team own the whole thing, we design and build it. Design-to-build projects skip the handoff tax entirely: the people who chose the easing curves are the ones implementing them.

  • Yes — that's engagement model three's first path. We extend your existing identity into a full digital design language: translating print-era guidelines into type scales, interactive color systems, spacing rules, and component styles that work on screens. Where the guidelines are silent (they usually are, on things like focus states and motion), we design the missing pieces in your brand's voice and document them so the system stays coherent.

  • Yes. We run an art-direction phase first — positioning, moodboards, type and color exploration — and build the visual identity before designing the product on top of it. Because one team does both, there's no gap between how the brand looks in a deck and how it behaves in the interface. You end with a brand system and a designed website that were made for each other.

  • Structured, not unlimited-and-vague. Each phase — wireframes, visual language, high-fidelity UI — has a review checkpoint with a defined revision round, and you sign off before we move on. That sequencing means changes happen where they're cheap: reworking a wireframe is a conversation, reworking a finished screen set is a week. In practice most clients use fewer rounds than the contract allows, because the weekly Figma reviews catch drift early.

  • The file is built for Dev Mode from day one: named layers, structured pages, auto-layout throughout, variables that map one-to-one to CSS custom properties, and annotations for behavior that pixels can't show — breakpoint logic, motion specs, interaction states. We do a live walkthrough call with your developers, then stay available during the build for the questions that only surface once code exists. Handoff isn't a ZIP file; it's a transfer of understanding.

  • Because it's where design and engineering actually meet. Figma's variables, auto-layout, and component variants let us build design files with the same rigor as a codebase — tokenized, componentized, versioned via branching. Your stakeholders review in the browser, your developers inspect in Dev Mode, and the prototype doubles as the spec. We work in Figma at the depth most agencies reserve for code — it's not a canvas we draw on, it's the system we engineer in.
