Your product isn't broken.

But it could be better.

We find the friction hiding in your flows. Then design and test fixes in the same sprint.

Insights that turn into improvements.

THE process

Helping product teams ship smarter, faster

Live products with friction you can feel but can't quite fix.

THE VALUE

Everything we deliver is designed to move you forward

Most UX audits end with a PDF and a list of problems. Maybe a "prioritisation framework." Then nothing happens, because the team is already onto the next thing.

We work differently. We identify friction, yes. But we also design the fix, test it, and tell you whether it worked. All in the same engagement.

UX audit summary

Written for PMs, not academics.

A clear, scannable document covering what A clear, scannable document covering what we found, why it matters, and what to do about it. Annotated screenshots, severity ratings, and quick wins flagged.

Prioritised opportunity map

No guesswork on where to start

A ranked list of issues and opportunities, scored by impact and effort. You'll know exactly what to fix first, and what can wait.

Figma re-designs & experiments

We don't just point at problems, we design solutions.

You'll get Figma files with proposed changes, ready to test or hand off to dev. Before/after comparisons, interaction states, and annotations included.

Test results & user feedback

Real evidence, not opinions.

A/B test data, usability session findings, or prototype feedback synthesis. You'll know what worked, what didn't, and why.

THE focus

Friction points we're experts at finding, and fixing

Every product has areas where users struggle. These are the patterns we see most often, and where we deliver the biggest impact.

Users start but don't finish. You're not sure where you're losing them

ONBOARDING

Theme:

We map every step, identify where cognitive load spikes, and redesign flows that get users to value faster.

Your funnel metrics are flat and you've run out of obvious fixes

CONVERSION PATHS

Themes:

We analyse the full journey from landing to conversion, finding the hidden friction that's costing you sign-ups, purchases, or upgrades.

Support tickets pile up, but you don't know how to solve the root cause

FEATURE FRICTION

Themes:

We translate vague complaints into specific UX issues, and design solutions that address the underlying problem, not just the symptoms.

Flows that work "well enough" but nobody wants to own

LEGACY FLOWS

Themes:

We audit the neglected corners of your product where UX debt has accumulated, and prioritise what's worth modernising.

Cart abandonment is high and you're leaving money on the table

PATH TO PURCHASE

Themes:

We optimise the path to purchase. Reducing friction, building trust, and removing the barriers that stop users from completing transactions.

Users can't find what they need, and support requests spike

ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT

Themes:

We audit and understand the unsexy-but-essential screens that frustrate users and drain your support team's time.

Your mobile users have worse outcomes than desktop, and not sure why

CROSS PLATFORM GAPS

Themes:

We audit touch targets, navigation patterns, and responsive behaviour to close the gap between mobile and desktop performance.

When things go wrong, users feel lost or abandoned

error handling

Themes:

We design empty states, error messages, and recovery flows that guide users forward instead of leaving them stranded.

IS THIS YOU?

We've seen these problems before.
We know how to fix them.

Most MVPs fail because they try to do too much. Founders spend months building features no one asked for, then wonder why users don't convert.

"We've seen a drop-off in onboarding or conversion flow"

Users start but don't finish. You've looked at the funnel, but you're not sure what's causing the bleed. We'll find it, and test a fix.

Cognitive overload, unclear value prop, form friction, trust gaps
"New feature needs validation before we build"

Engineering is expensive. You want confidence before you commit. We'll prototype, test, and give you a clear read on whether it's worth building.

New pricing tier, onboarding redesign, feature expansion, pivot exploration
"User complaints we don't know how to solve"

Support tickets pile up. NPS comments say "confusing" but don't say why. We'll diagnose the root cause and design something better.

Navigation confusion, feature discoverability, settings sprawl, error handling
"Our design team is stretched thin"

You have a design team, but they're underwater. You need senior help on a focused problem, without a long hiring cycle.

Growth-stage startups, enterprise teams with competing priorities
"Low adoption of key features"

You built it. It works. Users ignore it. We uncover why and redesign the path to value.

Hidden entry points, weak onboarding, unclear benefits, poor defaults
"Roadmap driven by opinion, not evidence"

Decisions follow the loudest voice. Alignment takes weeks. We bring user proof into planning.

Repeated debates, stalled prioritisation, stakeholder deadlock
"Product feels fragmented over time"

Features shipped fast. Coherence slipped. Users feel lost. We restore clarity and flow.

Inconsistent patterns, bloated navigation, duplicated tools
"Retention drops after early success"

Sign-ups look healthy. Usage fades. You need to know where motivation breaks.

Weak habit loops, limited ongoing value, poor re-engagement
"Enterprise buyers stall before signing"

Trials run long. Deals slip. Champions go quiet. We diagnose buying friction.

Security concerns, unclear ROI, onboarding risk, admin burden
"Internal tools slow the business down"

Teams work around the system. Spreadsheets fill the gaps. We redesign for real workflows.

Manual handoffs, duplicated entry, poor permissions
"International or new-market expansion fails"

What worked locally breaks elsewhere. Adoption stalls. We localise through real user insight.

Cultural mismatch, pricing confusion, regulatory friction
"AI or automation features lack trust"

Users hesitate to rely on smart systems. They override or ignore them. We rebuild confidence.

Poor explainability, weak feedback loops, control anxiety
Data-Driven Discovery

We dig into the data your tools are already collecting

You're sitting on a goldmine of behavioural data. We know how to extract insight from it, so the audit is grounded in what users actually do, not just what they say.

Don't have these tools set up? We can help you implement basic tracking as part of the engagement, so you're not flying blind after we leave."

FAQ'S

What teams usually ask

Is this just another UX audit report?

No. Audits are only the starting point. Every issue we surface is paired with a tested or testable fix in the same sprint.

How do you decide what is worth fixing first?

Each issue is scored by user impact and delivery effort. Only high-return changes are prioritised.

Will this disrupt our current roadmap?

No. We work around your delivery cycles and focus on changes that fit your near-term plans.

Do you need access to our live product and data?

Yes. We review real flows, real users, and real metrics, including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and behavioural tools like FullStory, Mixpanel, and Hotjar. This removes guesswork and anchors findings in evidence.

What if the problem turns out to be technical, not UX?

We flag it clearly. You get evidence to support engineering or platform investment.

How involved does our team need to be?

Light-touch. One kickoff, one midpoint check-in, and one results session. Everything else runs independently.

How confident can we be in the results?

Every recommendation is backed by user evidence, behavioural data, or live testing.

What if we already know where the problem is?

That helps. We validate it, quantify it, and test solutions faster instead of starting from scratch.
