Iterative Web App Design for Tech Companies
Method Alternative
If you’re searching for a Method alternative with stronger product focus and faster iteration, Parallel gives you a dedicated design team that works inside your build cycle. We help your team test ideas, improve UX, and ship better tools without long consulting phases.
Why Product Teams Choose Parallel as Their Method Alternative
Method has a strong consulting approach with lots of upfront planning, process steps, and large-team involvement. That can be useful for strategy-heavy projects, but tech teams often need steady iteration and hands-on interface work.
Parallel gives you senior product designers who spend their time in Figma and product discussions rather than extended discovery decks.
Product designers focused on web apps and UX
Short cycles based on real user feedback
Direct access to designers, not filtered communication
Clear pricing without consulting add-ons
Web App UX vs. Consulting-Driven Design
Method’s model is built around phased consulting, audits, and structured research. Parallel prioritizes practical iteration. Instead of long planning, we move quickly toward interface improvements and real testing.
Practical design from day one
Your designers start improving flows and interactions within days, not months.
Depth in web applications
We work on dashboards, admin tools, settings, transactions, and complex flows. These are everyday needs for growing tech products.
Faster decision cycles
We test, refine, and move forward each sprint instead of waiting for large reviews.
How Parallel Drives Better Web Apps
Parallel gives you a senior design team that focuses on real product issues and direct UX improvements.
We review your product, support feedback, and analytics. Then we outline improvements and start designing right away.
Work happens in your Figma files. We prototype, test, adjust, and stay aligned with engineering.
Design engineers help translate designs into reusable components. They work with your dev team on implementation.
Built for Tech Teams That Keep Shipping
Tech products change fast. Decisions shift. Priorities evolve. Parallel is shaped around that pace.
We follow your sprint rhythm and roadmap. Every design update connects to your product direction.
We build and maintain design systems that keep your product consistent and easier to expand.
We run usability checks, review session recordings, conduct quick interviews, and feed real findings into each design phase.
Parallel designers understand constraints, states, and frontend behavior. That reduces friction during handoff and development.

Your designers focus only on your product. No juggling other clients.
Start small and expand as your roadmap grows. Shrink when needed.
