What is UX Design?
User Experience (UX) Design takes all aspects of a product or service into account, and provides meaningful and relevant experiences to users.
This includes how a product or service looks, functions, and how it ensures accessibilty and usability.
We focus on your users' perspectives. By learning more about your users, we can help you prioritise what's important to them. We can also help you build the right system the first time round, rather than having to revisit and rebuild based on user feedback.
We've designed a range of UX Design Packages to give you:
- Clearly defined outputs
- Estimated timescales to deliver
- Amount of committment from your team
- Indicative costs to allow for budgeting
- An understanding of what comes next
Accessibility Standard
At its core, accessibility is all about inclusivity. While achieving 100% accessibility isn't easy, understanding your current level is a crucial first step. By establishing an accessibility standard, you can minimise exclusion and expand access to a larger user base.
If you've never taken the time to assess the accessibility of your portal, website, or online forms, they may not be fully accessible. This can unintentionally exclude potential users, impairing their ability to access your content, products, or services.
We can help you to make first step on the ladder to inclusion for all.
- Review - we'll review your content, structure and colours in line with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1)
- Insights Report - key insights and recommendations to improve product accessibility
- Quick Fixes - we'll help you implement some "quick win" fixes and will give you the tools to maintain the level of accessibility you've achieved

We helped Lloyds Bank Foundation to co-design a new programme aimed at helping d/Deaf and Disabled people's organisations.
We're grateful for your support over the last few weeks getting the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) form implemented, getting the portal looking really GREAT and most importantly, ensuring it is as accessible as it can be. We love it! You also helped us to see how we could improve our Form Assembly application form to make that it is more accessible for screen readers.

"These changes will really help us be able to spend less time and money on form filling and more on the causes and people we support"
"Making the application process pain-free and user-friendly will lower the barriers for the organisations that need your support the most."
"I have literally lost hundreds of hours to troubleshooting and navigating poorly designed grant applications and portals."

User Observation
Do you have complaints about your service that you can't understand? Do you keep making improvements that "move" the problem rather than really solving it? We can identify the core problems by observing real users interacting with your service.
You'll get the chance to watch real users as they perform the tasks you've set them. We'll tailor the tests to your specific needs and goals. We can target specific user groups, a particular task, or a user journey to give the most valuable insights to help you make decisions.
You'll get:
- Recruitment and organisation of your user groups
- Test script for your users
- Usability tests x 5
- Sense-making to shape findings and insights
- Analysis of all outputs
- Playback workshop to collaboratively explore outputs
- Recommendations report outlining how your user experiences could improve
