Services / Websites & Conversion / Web Design & UX

Design that solves user tasks — not just wins awards.

UX research, information architecture and UI design built around real user tasks. Accessibility (BFSG) and mobile-first are a mandatory part, not a surcharge option.

Task-centred

Every screen solves a real user task. Not everything that's possible makes sense.

Mobile-first 2026

60–75% mobile traffic is reality. We design mobile-first, with desktop as the extension.

BFSG-compliant

Germany's accessibility act (BFSG) has been mandatory since June 2025. We design WCAG 2.2 AA from the start.

What you can book

Six building blocks, individually or as a package

We usually start with the UX audit + user research. UI design only comes once the tasks are clear.

UX audit

Heuristic evaluation, funnel drops, mobile weaknesses, BFSG audit. Output: problem map.

User research

User interviews, diary studies, usability tests (moderated/unmoderated). Output: task map.

Information architecture

Sitemap, navigation logic, content hierarchy, search logic, card-sorting validation.

UI design

Mockups for mobile & desktop, microinteractions, typography, brand codes integrated.

Design system

Component library, tokens, theming, docs in Figma. For teams that want to keep designing themselves.

Accessibility layer

WCAG 2.2 AA, BFSG-compliant, screen-reader tests, keyboard navigation, contrast checks.

How do we differ?

Three ways to buy UX

Top design agency, studio boutique or senior operator — all three have an audience. Here's the honest comparison.

How we work

Five phases, one point of contact

Understand the tasks, then design. Not the other way around.

01 · Week 1–2

UX audit

Heuristics, heatmaps, BFSG status, mobile check. Output: problem map.

02 · Week 2–4

Research

5–8 user interviews, usability tests. Output: task map + pain points.

03 · Week 4–6

IA + wireframe

Sitemap, lo-fi wireframes, navigation validation. Output: structure plan.

04 · Week 6–10

UI & system

Hi-fi mockups, design system, component library. Output: Figma lib.

05 · Week 10–12

Handover

Dev handover, accessibility QA, browser tests, component docs.

Recommended entry point

Two paths, depending on where you stand

Improving UX on an existing site or a complete rebuild? That changes the depth.

For you if

Improving an existing site

You have UX problems (funnel drops, mobile weaknesses, BFSG gaps) and want to tackle them in a structured way without a full relaunch.

When this becomes relevant

Typical starting points

Three recurring situations where Web Design & UX is the right tool.

FAQ

What clients often ask before the first engagement

How much user research do we really need?

A pragmatic minimum set: 5–8 in-depth interviews + 1–2 unmoderated usability tests per critical flow. That covers 80% of the insights — anything beyond that is premium for enterprise complexity. In B2B it's often customer-success data + 3–5 power-user interviews.

What does BFSG compliance mean for our site in concrete terms?

Mandatory since June 2025 for B2C sites with online sales, booking or account features. WCAG 2.2 AA as the minimum standard: contrast, keyboard nav, screen readers, ARIA labels, alt text. B2B is (still) exempt but should follow in 2026 with the AccessibleEU directive. We build everything WCAG 2.2 AA by default.

Do we really need a design system?

For single-page marketing sites: no, a Figma component library is enough. For sites with > 20 templates or several marketing/product teams: yes, design tokens + documented components save a lot of time and consistency in the long run.

Mobile-first — does that mean desktop is secondary?

Not secondary — but: mobile design forces hierarchy clarity that then benefits desktop. Anyone who designs desktop-first often ends up with overloaded layouts that don't work on mobile. We design both in parallel but always start wireframes at the mobile breakpoint.

Do we get Figma files or a finished product?

Both are possible. UX/design-only engagement: you get documented Figma files + design system, and your dev team builds. End-to-end: we also take on the build (see website relaunch + landing pages). In the audit we clarify which fits better.
