Design that gets out of the way.

Good interface design is mostly invisible. People find what they need, understand what happened, and get on with their day.

Our design steps

  1. Watch and ask

    Short conversations with the people who will use it, and a look at how they do the job today.

  2. Map the journey

    A simple picture of each step, decision and handover.

  3. Sketch

    Rough screens to test ideas quickly and cheaply.

  4. Test

    A handful of real users try the sketches; we fix what trips them up.

  5. Finish

    Clear typography, colour and spacing, with every state designed, including errors.

Small things we sweat

Button words

Buttons say what will happen: "Book this slot", not "Submit".

Error messages

Say what went wrong and how to fix it, next to the problem.

Empty screens

Explain what will appear here and how to start.

Touch targets

Big enough for thumbs, gloves and hurried moments.
