Sound familiar?

  • Product, customer or campaign data is managed in spreadsheets, or in a tool nobody likes using.
  • An internal process needs its own interface, with different roles and permissions.
  • A product idea needs modelling and a first working version.

What you can commission

  • Functional UX and interface design
  • Data and workflow modelling
  • Web applications and internal tools
  • Roles, approvals and publishing flows

Process

How a project runs

  1. 01

    Understand the work

    We look at how the task is done today, who does it and where it breaks.

  2. 02

    Model

    Data, roles and workflows mapped before any screen is drawn.

  3. 03

    Design the interface

    Functional UX that people can click through and comment on.

  4. 04

    Build

    Development in steps, with working software to review along the way.

  5. 05

    Hand over

    Documentation, instructions and agreed support.

Questions

Do we need a custom application at all?

Not always. We check first whether existing software, a no-code platform or a small extension solves it. Custom comes last.

Can you design without building?

Yes. Functional UX and specifications are a deliverable in their own right, for your team or another supplier to build from.

Who maintains it afterwards?

That is agreed per project. The work comes with documentation, so it can be maintained by us, your team or someone else.

Will it work with our existing systems?

That is usually the point. Integration with what you already run is planned from the start.
