UI/UX design services for screens your developers can build

Boffin Coders offers UI/UX design services for web and mobile products, designed in Figma with components named the way your developers will build them. We are a UI/UX design agency where design and development sit in one team, so every screen is drawn by someone who knows what it costs to build. We also design brand identities, the logo, colours and type a business needs to look like one business, and print and packaging when a brand needs them.

Design US$12-25 an hour. A designer by the month from US$2,000 a month.

Running a clinic, a trade or a shop and need a website that brings enquiries? That is our local business line.

We designed and built them, which is why our screens come with a cost attached.

The design portfolio is the place to judge us. In the work cards further down this page, a project made only in design tools is labelled a design project, so a mock-up is never presented as software we shipped. Judge any UX design agency by screens you can open: the Sasso Sports website UI, the Classy5 jewellery store UI and the Praxis Verkauf healthcare dashboard are each published in the portfolio, screen by screen.

What we promise is work you can check: contrast, spacing and components you can open with us on a call, rather than certificates or conversion figures nobody can verify. We check contrast against the WCAG AA ratios as part of handover, and we will tell you where your current brand colours fail it.

What we design

UI/UX design services first, brand and print alongside

Most of our design work is screens for products we or your developers will build. Brand identity, marketing assets and print sit alongside it, so a business looks like one business everywhere.

UI/UX for web applications

Screens for portals, dashboards and web apps, designed around the few tasks a user comes to do. We start from the flows, then wireframes, then the visual design, and hand over a Figma file with the states a developer needs: empty, loading, error, and what happens on a phone. When we build it as well, it goes straight to our web application development team.

  • User flows and wireframes
  • High-fidelity screens
  • Empty, loading and error states
  • Responsive layouts

Mobile app UI

App screens for iOS and Android that follow each platform where users expect it to. We build Flutter apps ourselves, ten of our own are on Google Play, so the screens are drawn by people who know what each one costs to build.

  • iOS and Android conventions
  • Navigation and onboarding
  • Store screenshots
  • Handover to Flutter or React Native

Design systems in Figma

A component library with named colours, type and spacing, so the next screen is assembled from parts instead of redrawn. The names match the ones in the code, which is what makes a design system worth paying for.

  • Components and variants
  • Colour, type and spacing tokens
  • Light and dark themes
  • Usage notes for developers

Brand identity

A logo, colours and type that hold together across a website, an app, a van and an invoice. We start from what the business does and who buys from it, and deliver the files with a short guide that tells the next designer how to use them.

  • Logo and marks
  • Colour and type
  • A short brand guide
  • Files in every format you need

Marketing and social assets

Social posts, ad sets, email templates and banners in your brand, made to the sizes each platform asks for, so the brand looks like one business wherever a customer meets it. For a shop, the store itself is a Shopify or WordPress build.

  • Social post sets
  • Ad sizes per platform
  • Email templates
  • Web banners

Print and packaging

Brochures, magazines, packaging and event graphics, set up for the printer with bleed, trim and CMYK colour, and checked against a proof before anything is printed.

  • Brochures and magazines
  • Packaging dielines
  • Event and booth graphics
  • Print-ready files
Brand identity

A brand identity design agency that also builds the site

A brand job starts from one of three places. Each one ends with files you own and a short guide the next designer can follow.

A brand identity design agency often hands over a logo and a PDF, and the website becomes someone else’s problem. Here the same team designs the brand and builds what it goes on, so the colours are chosen knowing how they read on a phone and the type is one the site can load quickly. If your team wants to edit the site themselves afterwards, we can build it in Webflow or Framer. Agencies who sell brand work and need it built can have both under their own name through white-label development. The industries page shows the sectors we build for, from clinics and practices to shops.

A new business

Name chosen, nothing else. A logo, colours, type and the first things that carry them: the website, a business card, a social profile. Designed with the site in mind, so the brand works on a phone screen first.

  • Logo and marks
  • Colour and type
  • Website design
  • Launch assets

A refresh, not a rebrand

Customers already recognise you, so we keep what they recognise, usually the shape of the mark, and fix what dates it: the type, the colour, the way it sits on a screen.

  • Mark kept and redrawn
  • Modern type
  • Colours that pass contrast checks
  • Updated guide

An agency’s client

Your studio sold the brand and the site. We design and build under your name, with your client relationship left where it is, and nothing carries our name unless you want it to. If the client needs the website as well, our white-label web design builds it under your name too.

  • Your brand on the files
  • Design and build together
  • Your process and tools
  • No contact with your client unless asked
How it works

From brief to handover in Figma

Four stages for a product or a brand. Structure is agreed before visual design starts, because that is when changes are cheap.

Understand the job

Who uses it, what they come to do, and what the business needs them to do. We read what exists, your current site or app, your competitors and any brand you already have, before opening a design tool.

Deliverables

  • A written brief we agree
  • User flows
  • A look at what exists
  • Moodboards

Structure first

Wireframes for the key screens and the grid, type and colour the rest will follow. Cheap to change at this stage, so this is where we want your objections.

Deliverables

  • Wireframes
  • Type and colour choices
  • Grid and spacing
  • A clickable outline

Visual design

High-fidelity screens or brand assets, reviewed with you in rounds. Each round has a written list of what changed, so a decision made in week two is not reopened by accident in week four.

Deliverables

  • High-fidelity screens
  • Logo and brand assets
  • A clickable prototype
  • Change notes per round

Handover

Figma files with auto layout and named components, exported assets, and notes on states and behaviour. Before handover we check text contrast against the WCAG AA ratios and flag any brand colour that fails it.

Deliverables

  • Figma source files
  • Exports in SVG and PNG
  • A brand or UI guide
  • A contrast check
AI in design

Where AI tools help, and where we keep them out

We use Midjourney, Stable Diffusion and Adobe Firefly to produce variations quickly, with a designer directing and approving every one that ships.

Exploration, not the final mark

Generated images help us show you directions quickly. The logo you receive is a vector drawn by a designer, so you are not relying on a mark whose ownership is unclear.

Clean-up on photos you own

Background removal and upscaling for product and team photos you already have, checked at the size it will be printed or shown before it is used.

A designer signs off

Nothing generated goes to you, or to a printer, without a designer choosing it, correcting it and putting it into the brand’s colours and type.

Tools

The tools, and the files you get

Figma for screens and systems, Adobe for brand and print. You receive the source files, not only the exports, so the next designer can pick up where we stopped.

  • Figma · Screens, prototypes, design systems
  • Adobe Illustrator · Logos, marks and vectors
  • Photoshop · Photos and retouching
  • After Effects · Motion for web and social
  • Adobe XD · When your files already live there
  • Midjourney · Early moodboards, never the final mark
