Interfaces designed to be built, not just admired.
Adobe XD designs for websites and product interfaces, mobile first, accessible from the start, and structured so the handover to development is quick rather than painful.
The problem
A template with your logo isn’t a design.
A lot of sites are built from a template, with a logo swapped in and a few colours changed. It gets something live fast, but it looks and behaves like every other site built the same way, and it’s usually awkward to extend once you need a page the template didn’t plan for.
A designed site starts from your content and your users, not from a theme’s demo pages. It gets a layout, a type system and components built for what your business actually needs to say, and it’s built to grow without falling apart the first time someone adds a new page type.
What you get
A file built for handover.
Mobile-first layouts
Every screen designed for a phone first, then extended up to tablet and desktop, not shrunk down as an afterthought.
Accessibility from the start
Colour contrast, text size and focus states considered while designing, not patched in during a review right before launch.
Component systems
Reusable components and states, built to map directly onto WordPress blocks or the components in your app.
Working prototypes
Clickable prototypes for testing flows and getting feedback before a single line of code is written.
Design tokens
Colour, type and spacing defined as tokens, ready to become the variables a developer builds the site from.
Clear handover notes
Annotations covering states, spacing and behaviour, so a developer isn’t guessing what happens on hover or on error.
Process
How a design project runs.
Discovery
We review your content, your competitors and, where useful, your analytics, before designing anything.
Structure
Sitemap or flow, and wireframes for key pages or screens, agreed before visual design starts.
Visual design
Full design of the core templates and components in Adobe XD, in your brand’s colours and type.
Prototype and test
A clickable prototype for key flows, tested with real users where the project calls for it.
Handover
A complete, organised Adobe XD file, ready for us or another developer to build from.
Handover
Handover to a real build.
Most of what we design here ends up built in custom WordPress development or as part of an AI product build, usually by the same team that designed it. That’s why components are designed to map straight onto WordPress blocks or app components from the first draft, instead of being redrawn during the build.
If your own developer or another agency is doing the build, you still get a properly organised file with the same components and notes, so handover doesn’t turn into weeks of back-and-forth questions.
- The difference between a template and a designed site shows up in the details: how error states look, how a long headline wraps, what happens when there’s no content yet.
- Colours, type and components carry through from brand identity where we’ve already built the system, so the site looks like it belongs to the same business as everything else.
FAQ
Questions we get asked
Do you design if someone else is going to build it?
Yes. We hand over a well-organised Adobe XD file with components, states and notes, built so another developer can pick it up without guessing. That said, when we design and build in the same team, through custom WordPress development, nothing gets lost translating the file into code.
How many pages or screens are included?
It depends on the project. A standard brochure site might need six to ten templates, while a product interface could need far more screens and states. We scope this against your sitemap or feature list before quoting, rather than pricing per page blind.
Can you redesign a site we already have?
Yes, and it’s common work for us. We usually start by reviewing what’s working in the current site and what isn’t, so the redesign fixes real problems rather than changing things for the sake of it.
Do you do UX research?
We do lightweight, practical research: looking at analytics, reviewing what competitors do, and testing prototypes with real people where the budget allows. We’re not running months-long research studies, and we’ll say so if a project genuinely needs that depth of work.
What tools do you design in?
Adobe XD, for both websites and product interfaces. It lets us build reusable components, prototype interactions and hand over a file that a developer can inspect directly, rather than a flat image.
How long does a design project take?
A standard site design often takes two to four weeks from signed scope to a finished file, depending on how many templates are involved. A product interface with more screens and states usually takes longer. We’ll give you a real estimate once we’ve seen the scope.
