New Software Development
Planning a new application? We design the interface before a line of code is written. This saves development costs.

User-centered UI/UX design for web apps and mobile. Tightly integrated with development, design system in Figma included.
Design mistakes are cheap to fix, code mistakes are expensive. We clarify questions in design before development starts.
Software that's easy to use gets used willingly. That increases productivity and reduces support costs.
Our design team works hand in hand with development. Figma components map one-to-one to React components.
Transparent, agile, and goal-oriented to success.
We analyze your requirements, understand your target audience, and define the application's goals together.
We sketch the structure and create initial clickable prototypes. You see early how the app will work.
We design the visual design and continuously coordinate with you. Typography, colors, icons, all matching your brand.
You receive a fully clickable prototype that serves as the basis for development.
Planning a new application? We design the interface before a line of code is written. This saves development costs.
Your application works, but users complain about usability? We analyze weak points and redesign.
Multiple products, inconsistent design? We develop a design system that creates consistency and accelerates development.
Four recurring design requests. Not exhaustive, just a sense of the range.
Problem: A DACH mid-market company builds internally with three teams and different component libraries; the UI is drifting apart.
Solution: Four weeks of design system in Figma with tokens, components, and docs, handed over to engineering with Tailwind mapping and a written style guide.
Problem: A founder team wants to know whether the concept resonates with users before they build, but they have no clickable material yet.
Solution: One week of wireframes plus a clickable Figma prototype across seven to ten core screens, ready for three to five test interviews.
Problem: A live web app has high drop-off rates on two core flows; the team disagrees whether copy, layout, or performance is to blame.
Solution: Two to three days of heuristic analysis plus session-replay review, a written findings report with prioritised quick wins and larger redesign recommendations.
Problem: A five-year-old marketing site feels worn and converts noticeably worse than the competition.
Solution: Three weeks of design refresh with a new visual system, new hero layouts, and CTA structures, aligned to the existing CMS without a full relaunch.
Design is typically part of our development projects. As a standalone service, pricing depends on scope and complexity. Midpoint for a solid MVP app: 6,000 to 10,000 euros.
| Scope | Price range | Duration | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Simple | 2,000-5,000 € | 2-3 weeks | Small app, 2 to 3 screens, basic design |
| Mid-size | 6,000-15,000 € | 4-6 weeks | MVP with design system, 8 to 15 screens |
| Complex | 15,000-30,000 €+ | 6+ weeks | Large app, user research, iterative design |
