User research, journeys and usability testing
Interviews, analytics review and usability tests that show how people actually use your product and where they get stuck.
UI/UX Design
UI/UX design for web and mobile products
Product design grounded in research and validated with users, from flows and prototypes to design systems that keep large products consistent as they grow.
Good product design is mostly invisible. Users find what they need, complete the task and do not think about the interface at all. Getting there takes research, a few rounds of testing and a lot of small decisions about wording, layout and states that rarely appear in a first mockup.
We design in Figma, starting from user journeys and wireframes before moving to high-fidelity screens and clickable prototypes. Because our designers work next to our developers, every design is checked for how it will be built, which avoids screens that look good but are slow or costly to implement.
For growing products we build design systems: shared components, colours, type and spacing that keep the product consistent as more people work on it. We also audit existing products and fix the points where users get stuck.
What is included
Information architecture and interaction design
Navigation, page structure and flows for each task, including the empty, loading and error states that often get missed.
High-fidelity UI and interactive prototypes
Polished screens for web and mobile, plus clickable prototypes you can test with users or show to investors before development.
Design systems and component libraries
Reusable components, tokens and usage rules in Figma, matched by coded components so design and development stay in sync.
UX audits of existing products
A review of your current product against usability and accessibility standards, with a prioritised list of fixes.
How we work
- 01
Research and goals
We learn who your users are, what they need to get done and what success means for the business.
- 02
Flows and wireframes
Low-fidelity layouts for each journey, reviewed with you before any visual design starts.
- 03
Visual design and prototype
High-fidelity screens and a clickable prototype, tested with real users where possible.
- 04
Handoff and build support
Organised Figma files, specs and components, with designers available while developers build.
Tech stack
- Figma
- Framer
- Blender
- Illustrator
Pricing
Every project starts with a free discovery call and a written estimate split into milestones. Choose the model that fits:
- Fixed-price project. A written scope split into milestones, each with a fixed price and deliverable. Best when requirements are clear.
- Hourly. Pay for the hours worked, with time tracked and reported. Best for ongoing changes, audits and evolving scope.
- Dedicated developer or team. Developers assigned to you on a monthly contract, working your business hours as an extension of your team.
- Maintenance and support. 24/7 monitoring against a 99.9% uptime target, plus fixes, updates and small features after launch, as needed or on a monthly plan.

FAQ
UI/UX Design questions
What clients usually ask before starting a ui/ux design project with us.
Another question? Email info@mercurysols.org.
Do you only design, or also build?
Both. You can hire us for design only and hand the files to your own developers, or have the same team design and build the product so nothing is lost in handoff.
Which tools do you use?
Figma for design, prototypes and design systems, with Framer, Illustrator and Blender for marketing pages, illustration and 3D work. You get full access to the files.
Can you redesign our product without changing how it works?
Yes. We can refresh the visual design while keeping existing flows familiar for current users, or rework specific journeys where the data shows users struggle.
Do you test designs with users?
Yes, where the project allows it. Even a handful of usability sessions with a prototype catches most major problems before they reach development.
Will the design be accessible?
We design for readable contrast, clear focus states, sensible text sizes and keyboard use, and can audit against WCAG guidelines.
