Mobile & UX

Mobile is not a smaller screen. It is a harder problem.

Your customers are already on their phones. Roughly 64% of web traffic and 60% of e-commerce happen there. But the phone is a brutal context: one hand, half the attention, a competitor one tap away.

It punishes friction without mercy, and around 88% of people never come back after a bad mobile experience. We design for that real moment, and build the experiences that earn the next tap.

How we think about mobile

Design for the thumb, the moment and the impatience.

Our job has been to get companies to stop treating mobile as their desktop site, shrunk to fit. It sounds obvious, and it is the hardest mindset to shift, which is exactly where most of the value hides.

Mobile-first mindset

We embed it in the teams we partner with, so the thinking outlasts the project.

Immersive, fast experiences

Built to respect the context they live in. A gorgeous app that loads in four seconds is an expensive way to lose money.

Mobile maturity assessments

Using our own frameworks, they show leadership exactly where they stand and what to fix first.

One full-stack team, research, UX/UI, design systems, front-end, CRO, accessibility and analytics, using frontier AI (OpenAI, Gemini, Claude) with a human always deciding what ships. Plugged into SEO & GEO, Marketing Automation & CRM, Marketplaces and Process Automation & Agentic AI.

Research, design and conversion

Design on mobile is not decoration. It is decisions.

Before we touch a screen, we find out what actually happens in your users' hands. Opinions about buttons are cheap. Evidence is not.

Discovery & UX research

Jobs-to-be-done and usability testing to validate the real problem, with frontier models reading thousands of sessions and reviews so insight arrives in days.

UX/UI & design systems

Mobile-first, consistent, scalable components, with the key message and CTA in view because people read the top and rarely scroll.

Build-ready collaboration

We work next to your developers, so the design that gets approved is the design that ships.

CRO & conversion design

Where experience meets the P&L.

On mobile, attention is scarce and a rival is one tap away. The most common, costly mistakes are also the most fixable.

Where mobile leaks revenue

Speed
Slow load over three seconds, heavy media
Friction
Intrusive pop-ups and the CTA hidden below the fold
Forms
Heavy forms and forced registration
Result
Users leave exactly when attention is scarce

The high-return fixes

Speed
Load under three seconds; every 100ms is roughly 1% of conversions
Clarity
A clear CTA in view, pop-ups tamed
Checkout
Continue as guest, inline validation, saved progress
Proof
A/B tested, measured in CVR, AOV and revenue per session

It is the same conversion discipline we bring to Marketplaces product pages. Every 100 milliseconds and every removed tap compounds into revenue.

AI personalization, conversational & generative UI

The strongest interface reshapes itself for the person holding the phone.

Device layer

Context-aware
  • Battery, network and motion
  • Enlarge tap targets or strip heavy media on a weak connection

Behavioral layer

In the moment
  • Scroll speed and rage clicks
  • Rearrange the screen to help right now

Trust layer

Loyalty-led
  • The zero and first-party data a user chooses to share
  • Top performers turn it into as much as 40% more revenue

On top we design conversational UX powered by frontier models that replace clumsy menus with "just ask", privacy-first and human-in-the-loop.

Accessibility & performance

Not boxes to tick. Reach, risk and revenue.

Since June 2025 the European Accessibility Act has required many e-commerce sites and apps to be accessible, with real penalties. We turn that obligation into an advantage.

Accessibility (EAA, WCAG 2.1 AA)

Audits and fixes against EN 301 549, so more people can buy and your exposure drops.

Core Web Vitals

LCP, CLS and INP (an equal mobile ranking signal since 2026) tuned to target, when only about 42% of mobile sites pass all three.

Performance as revenue

Every 100 milliseconds of load time costs roughly 1% of conversions, so speed pays for itself.

Frequently asked questions

The questions we hear most.

What is generative UI (GenUI)?
Generative UI is an interface an AI assembles in real time, choosing the layout, content and hierarchy for each user instead of serving one fixed design. It pairs predictive AI, which anticipates the next action, with generative AI, which builds the components to take it. Gartner expects 30% of new apps to use AI-driven adaptive interfaces by 2026, up from under 5% two years earlier. We design the rules, guardrails and design system that let it adapt safely instead of chaotically.
What is agentic UX?
Agentic UX designs for interfaces that act for the user, completing tasks rather than only responding to taps. The person states an intent, and the system plans and runs the steps, surfacing only what is needed to finish the job. Assistants like Gemini and Perplexity already work this way. We build agentic experiences with transparency, clear checkpoints, and a human able to step in, so autonomy never costs the user control or trust.
What is conversational UX?
Conversational UX replaces rigid menus and forms with natural dialogue, in voice, text or image, powered by large language models that read intent rather than keywords. It is now mainstream on mobile: ChatGPT has crossed a billion monthly mobile users, with Gemini and Claude scaling fast, so people already expect to just ask. We design conversational, AI-adaptive interfaces that stay on brand, often building on our Process Automation and Agentic AI work.
How do you optimize a mobile experience for AI assistants and shopping agents?
You make the experience legible to machines as well as people: clean structure, semantic markup, fast performance, and content that answers real intent. AI assistants and shopping agents increasingly research, compare and even act for the user, so an experience built only for human eyes gets skipped. We structure content and data so agents can read and recommend you, the same discipline behind our SEO and GEO work.
What is INP, and why does it matter for mobile in 2026?
INP (Interaction to Next Paint) measures how quickly a page responds to a user's taps and inputs, and in 2026 it carries equal Google ranking weight alongside LCP and CLS. It matters because responsiveness is felt: a laggy tap reads as a broken app and costs conversions. The target is under 200 milliseconds, yet only about 42% of mobile sites pass all three Core Web Vitals. We tune to target, which lifts both ranking and revenue.
How does AI personalize a mobile interface in real time?
AI personalizes by reading three layers of live context. The device layer (battery, network, motion) lets it lighten or enlarge the experience. The behavioral layer (scroll speed, hesitation, rage clicks) rearranges the screen to help in the moment. The trust layer (the zero and first-party data a user shares) drives loyalty-led personalization. Done well this lifts revenue, often by double digits, and we keep it privacy-first with a human in the loop.
How does the European Accessibility Act affect my mobile app?
Since 28 June 2025 the European Accessibility Act has required many e-commerce sites and mobile apps sold in the EU to be accessible to people with disabilities, with penalties for non-compliance. The working standard is WCAG 2.1 AA, referenced through EN 301 549. Beyond avoiding fines, accessibility widens your market and improves usability for everyone. We audit and remediate, turning a deadline into reach and revenue.
What are the most common mobile UX mistakes?
The most common mobile UX mistakes are slow page speed, intrusive pop-ups, the main content or CTA sitting below the fold, heavy forms, and forcing users to register. Each adds friction exactly when attention is scarce and a competitor is one tap away. The highest-return fixes are simple: a clear CTA in view, continue as guest, inline form validation with saved progress, and load times under three seconds.
How do you measure mobile UX success?
You measure mobile UX by business outcomes, not opinions: conversion rate, average order value, task success rate, retention and revenue per session, plus speed metrics like INP. Vanity numbers such as time on page can hide a struggling user. We baseline the journey, instrument the funnel, and track whether changes actually move money, so design decisions stay accountable.
