MOBILE & UX
MOBILE & UX
One obsession drives everything we do: turning the mobile moment into
measurable Business Results, not design awards.
Your customers are already on their phones. Roughly 64% of web traffic and 60% of ecommerce happen there. But the phone is a brutal context: one hand, half the attention, a noisy commute, 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 we build the experiences that earn the next tap.
HOW WE THINK ABOUT MOBILE.
For years our job has been to get companies to stop treating mobile as their desktop site, shrunk to fit. It sounds obvious. It is the hardest mindset to shift inside an organization, and it is where most of the value hides. A mobile-first company designs for the thumb, the moment and the impatience. A desktop-first company designs a beautiful page and hopes it survives the trip to a six-inch screen. It rarely does.
So we work on three fronts. We embed a mobile-first mindset in the teams we partner with, so the thinking outlasts the project. We build immersive, fast mobile experiences that respect the context they live in. And we run mobile maturity assessments, using our own frameworks, that show leadership exactly where they stand and what to fix first.
We are opinionated about this because we have seen the bill. A gorgeous app that loads in four seconds is an expensive way to lose money. A checkout that demands registration on a crowded bus is a decision to leave revenue on the table. Mobile rewards clarity, speed and trust, in that order, and we design every screen to earn them.
We deliver it as one full-stack team: research, UX/UI, design systems, front-end, CRO, accessibility and analytics, all pointed at one number, the business result. We use frontier AI (OpenAI, Gemini, Claude) to move faster on research, prototyping and real-time personalization, with a human always deciding what ships. And the work plugs into the rest of your growth stack: SEO & GEO for Core Web Vitals and mobile-first ranking, Marketing Automation & CRM for personalized journeys, Marketplaces for mobile product pages, and Process Automation & Agentic AI.
Mobile is not a smaller screen.
It is a harder problem, and a bigger opportunity.
DISCOVERY & UX RESEARCH
Before we touch a screen, we find out what actually happens in your users’ hands. Opinions about buttons are cheap. Evidence is not.
- Product discovery and jobs-to-be-done: validate the real problem before anyone designs a pixel.
- UX research and usability testing: watch how people really use your app, and surface the friction quietly costing you conversions.
- AI-accelerated synthesis: frontier models help us read thousands of sessions, reviews and survey answers fast, so insight arrives in days, not weeks.
The result: you build the thing users need, and stop funding the things they ignore.
UX/UI, CONTENT & PRODUCT DESIGN
Design on mobile is not decoration, it is decisions. Every element competes for a tiny, distracted canvas, so we earn each one.
- Mobile-first UX/UI and design systems: consistent, scalable components that make every release faster.
- Content built for the thumb: the key message lands first, because people read the top and centre of a screen and rarely scroll, and the main CTA stays in view.
- Build-ready collaboration: we work next to your developers, so the design that gets approved is the design that ships.
The result: a fast, clear, on-brand experience that is easy to manage and built to convert.
CRO & CONVERSION DESIGN
This is where experience meets the P&L. On mobile, attention is scarce and a rival is one tap away, so we hunt the friction that leaks revenue and remove it. The most common, costly mistakes are also the most fixable:
- Slow load (target under three seconds), intrusive pop-ups, and the CTA hidden below the fold.
- Forced registration. Switching to “continue as guest” is one of the highest-return mobile fixes there is.
- Heavy forms. Inline validation, saved progress, and the right keyboard for each field.
We prove the fixes with structured A/B testing, measured in CVR, AOV and revenue per session. It is the same conversion discipline we bring to Marketplaces product pages.
The result: measurable lift, because every 100 milliseconds and every removed tap compounds into revenue.
AI PERSONALIZATION, CONVERSATIONAL & GENERATIVE UI
The strongest interface in 2026 reshapes itself for the person holding the phone. We design that, with guardrails, not gimmicks. Adaptive interfaces read three layers of context:
- Device layer: battery, network and motion, so the experience can enlarge tap targets or strip heavy media for someone on a weak connection.
- Behavioral layer: live signals like scroll speed and “rage clicks” that rearrange the screen to help in the moment.
- Trust layer: the zero and first-party data a user chooses to share, powering loyalty-led personalization that top performers turn into as much as 40% more revenue.
On top of this we design conversational UX, natural-language and visual interfaces powered by frontier models (OpenAI, Gemini, Claude) that replace clumsy menus with “just ask”. The plumbing connects to our Marketing Automation & CRM and Process Automation & Agentic AI work, privacy-first and human-in-the-loop.
The result: more relevance per user, and a lift that compounds as the system learns.
ACCESSIBILITY & PERFORMANCE
Accessibility and speed are not boxes to tick. They are 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 for those that are not. 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.
The result: a faster, compliant, inclusive product that reaches more people and converts more of them.
SIDECAR & CAPABILITY BUILDING
No black boxes. Run us as your outsourced design and CRO team, or as extra horsepower beside your own, with a Sidecar Model sized to you. Either way, we leave your team stronger than we found it.
- Flexible delivery: your outsourced UX and CRO function, or a blended team embedded with your product squad.
- Cross-functional by design: designers working alongside ML engineers and data scientists, the unit that AI-adaptive experiences actually need.
- Knowledge transfer: training and the mobile-first habits that keep the thinking alive after we step back.
The result: you do not just rent design, you build a durable mobile capability.
The Full-Stack Experience Powerhouse
One team across the whole chain: research, UX/UI, design systems, front-end, CRO, accessibility and analytics, blending AI speed with human craft and judgment. Not a designer here and a developer there with nobody owning the outcome. One team, one funnel, one obsession: your results.
ONE-SHOT SERVICES
Project-based engagements for a specific, high-value outcome, fast
UX & ACCESSIBILITY AUDIT
We do not “review” your app. We pressure-test it: where users struggle, where revenue leaks, and where you are exposed on compliance.
- Heuristic and usability audit: the issues scored by impact on conversion and task success.
- Accessibility audit: WCAG 2.1 AA and EAA gap analysis with prioritized fixes.
- Performance check: Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS) against 2026 targets.
The result: a prioritized roadmap any team can run.
DESIGN SPRINT / PRODUCT DISCOVERY SPRINT
We compress months of debate into one decisive sprint, from problem to tested prototype.
- Discovery and framing: agree the real problem and the user it serves.
- Ideation and prototyping: AI-accelerated concepts to a clickable prototype.
- Validation: test with real users and leave with an evidence-based direction.
The result: a de-risked decision and a prototype you can build with confidence.
DESIGN SYSTEM BUILD
We turn inconsistent screens into a system, the foundation that makes every future release faster and on-brand.
- Component library: reusable, accessible, documented UI.
- Design tokens and governance: consistency across teams and platforms.
- Dev handoff: built to ship, not just to look good in Figma.
The result: faster releases, less design debt, a consistent experience at scale.

Frequently Asked Questions
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, AIadaptive interfaces that stay on brand, often building on our Process Automation & 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 & 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 highestreturn 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.
