FAQs

How long does a typical SaaS design project take?
Most comprehensive SaaS redesigns take 8-12 weeks, depending on complexity. We also offer focused sprints (2-4 weeks) for specific challenges like onboarding or dashboard optimization.
Do you work with early-stage startups or just established SaaS companies?
We work with SaaS companies at all stages - from pre-product startups to Fortune 500 enterprises. Our approach scales based on your needs and resources.
Can you integrate with our existing development workflow?
Absolutely. We work closely with your development team and can adapt to your preferred tools, review processes, and deployment schedules.
How do you measure the success of a SaaS design project?
We establish clear metrics upfront based on your business goals - typically activation rates, feature adoption, user satisfaction scores, and conversion metrics. We provide measurement frameworks and help set up tracking.
Do you provide ongoing design support after the initial project?
Yes, we offer retainer arrangements for ongoing design optimization, A/B testing, and continuous improvement based on user feedback and analytics.
What if we need to redesign while maintaining our existing user base?
We specialize in evolutionary redesigns that improve UX without disrupting existing user workflows. We use progressive rollout strategies and extensive user testing to ensure smooth transitions.
Can I check out past projects?
Yes but usually after we know more about what you’re building. Some of our work is under NDA, but we’ll always share examples that show how we think and deliver.
Do you do branding or just product design?
We do both especially when product and brand need to evolve together. Our branding work is rooted in utility: helping teams stand out, stay consistent, and scale faster across product, pitch, and platform.
If we have designers in-house - where do you fit in?
We bring outside perspective, product strategy, and speed. We work best with in-house teams that want a thought partner, not just more hands. Whether it’s a tricky UX challenge or a fast-moving roadmap, we work with the team you already have.
