User Experience

We take the guesswork out of user experience. Our team uncovers audience insights through marketplace and trend analysis, mapping their journeys, and simplifying complex information, so your site or platform is easy to navigate and delivers real value. By the end, you’ve got a solid wireframe foundation that your product can stand on.

User Interface

Once UX has done its job, this is where it gets real. We turn structure into interfaces that balance usability, aesthetics, and performance with considered typography, colour, motion, icons, and themes. Every detail is deliberate, on-brand, and built to guide the eye across multiple screens and devices. Plus, our rigorous testing allows us to make sure your product works as intended, not in theory.

Branding

For new ventures and grown-up rebrands alike. We’ll dive deep into who you are, what you stand for, and how you want to be perceived through your brand’s tone. Logo, colour palette, type systems and the brand book that holds it all together, everything is made to work seamlessly across all touchpoints. That includes your team too, so they can confidently use it long after we’re done.

Website, UI/UX Design Support That Fits Around Your Goals

We’re Happy to Take Design Lead

Prefer to stay hands-off? Give us a clear, solid brief and we’ll take it from there. You’ll stay in the loop at every sign-off and major decision throughout. This will keep your project moving while you focus on running the business.

A Collaboration of Our Team and Yours

Got an existing team in place? We can work right alongside them. With weekly calls, shared Figma designs, and collaborative design tools, we’re able to directly manage requests as we go. Best for clients who want to be involved at every stage.

We Operate as an Extension of Your Business

For web design and branding projects that need extra resources post-live, we work as part of your team to create new landing pages, design iterations, and ongoing creative support, giving you the flexibility to adapt as priorities change.

Our Custom Website Design Process

  1. Discover

    Through design workshops, UX research, analytics and stakeholder input, we build a clear picture of what needs to improve and where the biggest opportunity for design to make a significant difference lies.

  2. Architecture

    Next, we work out how everything should connect together, mapping out content structures, sitemaps, and user journeys so people can browse through your website or platform with as little friction as possible.

  3. UX Wireframing

    From low-fidelity wireframes to clickable prototypes, we test and refine ideas early to spot any structural flaws and ensure each screen works exactly as it should for the user.

  4. Visuals

    Now it’s time to bring it to life. We create moodboards that reflect your brand’s identity, developing typography, colours, components, and imagery into a pixel-perfect, high fidelity, fully rendered design.

  5. Test

    We test all designs with real people, from both your team and ours, using prototypes, stakeholder feedback and data, we identify what works and what needs tweaking before it’s packaged up and handed over to development.

  6. Launch

    Once all designs are approved and development work is complete, our pre-live and project management teams will give everything one last detailed check before releasing your stunning new asset to your audience.

Redefining the digital presence of an £800m+ wholesale business through a modern, bespoke corporate website built for growth.

The redesigned platform unifies its operations, symbol group brands and commercial opportunities, with room for continued business expansion and growth.

Don’t take our word for it..

We had a fantastic experience working with the Pixel team on developing our new website. As a family-run business, it was important that our website reflected our heritage whilst bringing our brand into the modern digital world. We’re extremely pleased with the final result and would highly recommend their services to anyone looking to build or improve their online presence.
Laksh ManjaniaHead of Operations - Sanjeev Jewellers
My experience of working with Pixel has been exemplary from start to finish. One of the most impressive aspects of working with Pixel was the ability to immediately understand my needs. This was particularly remarkable given the complexity of the project. As the new portal has evolved, new features have been introduced, including an AI element. Adding this was quite effortless and will improve the final product incrementally.
