UX & USABILITY

UX that converts.
Not just pretty — effective.

We research, prototype, and test to ensure every design decision boosts your conversión. Data-driven UX, not opinion-based.

User experience determines your conversión

Our UX specialisations

Four disciplines, one goal: conversión

We don't do generic UX. Each sub-discipline has its own methodology, tools, and success metrics.

User Research

We understand your users before we design. In-depth interviews, surveys, personas, journey maps and real behavior analysis with session recordings.

Information Architecture

Clear structures where users find what they need in 3 clicks or fewer. Card sorting, tree testing and flow diagrams, all validated before anything gets designed.

Wireframing & Prototyping

From idea to clickable prototype in days. Figma for collaborative design, interactive prototypes to validate before anyone writes code.

Usability Testing

Tests with real users, moderated and unmoderated. We spot friction before launch and validate every hypothesis with quantitative data.

UX Services

Six UX services, one for each phase of your product

From the first user interview to post-launch optimisation. We cover the entire cycle.

In-depth interviews with 8-15 users per segment, quantitative surveys, support ticket analysis and review mining. We build personas and journey maps from evidence, not from internal assumptions. Deliverable: an actionable findings document with prioritized opportunities.
An audit of your current information architecture, card sorting with users, tree testing and the design of a new taxonomy. This matters most in e-commerce with large catalogs and in SaaS platforms with many features. We cut the average time to find information by 40-60%.
From lo-fi wireframes to navigable hi-fi prototypes. We work exclusively in Figma so your team can collaborate in real time. Every prototype is validated with real users before it moves into development, saving weeks of rework.
Moderated tests (5-8 users per round) and unmoderated remote tests with Maze. We measure success rate, time on task, errors and satisfaction. Every finding is prioritized by impact and turned into concrete design changes.
Design systems in Figma with tokens, reusable components, usage documentation and accessibility guidelines. That cuts design time by 60% and keeps you consistent across products, teams and platforms.
Every design is audited against WCAG 2.1 AA: contrast, keyboard navigation, ARIA labels, alt text and screenreader compatibility. European Accessibility Act 2025 compliance from the very first wireframe.
The ZDS team redesigned our checkout, and conversión increased by 38% in six weeks. The best part: they taught us to make data-driven decisions, not just rely on intuition.

Who we design for

Three user types, three methodologies

Each audience demands a different research methodology. We don't use the same approach for a B2B buyer as for an end consumer.

B2B buyers

Long decision cycles, multiple stakeholders, technical criteria. We research roles, multi-touch journeys and internal buying barriers.

Consumers

Fast decisions, constant comparison, high sensitivity to price and friction. We optimize every micro-interaction in the funnel.

Specialist users

Professionals with technical vocabulary (doctors, engineers, architects). We design in their language and around their real workflows.

Wireframes are cheap. Code is expensive. Every hour of research saves ten hours of developing the wrong thing.
