New users drop off early
Sign-ups come in and leave before they reach the part that makes your product worth paying for. We redesign onboarding and the first-run flows so people get there.

Why UX?
The product works. People still struggle with it.
Software teams usually come to us at one of these three points.
Features have piled up
Every release added a screen, a setting or a menu item. We sort out the structure so the everyday jobs are quick and the rare ones are still easy to find.
Your team is all engineers
You can build anything, and nobody owns how it looks and reads. We work alongside your developers and hand over specs, a design system and assets they can build from.

Zero to MVP
If you’re starting from an idea, this is the faster way in. Strategy, brand, design and a working build from one team.
Web Apps & Dashboards
The screens your customers use every day.
Dashboards, settings, tables and account flows, designed around the jobs people open your product to do.
Onboarding & Key Flows
Get people to the useful part.
Sign-up, first run and the two or three flows that decide whether someone stays. A good place to start if you want a small first project.
Design Systems
Components and tokens your developers can build from, so the tenth screen looks like the first.
User Journeys & UX Flows
We map what people are trying to get done, then cut the steps between them and the result.
User Research & Testing
We look at what your users do and say before redesigning, and design from that.

From past clients
Skydea did everything from strategy to coding, and had excellent communication. They were not only fast but flexible, and we were able to massively improve our website's UX/UI and SEO. We're seeing SEO growth and it's only been a few months! We'd love to continue working together!
This is the first time we’ve been able to express ourselves so clearly.
They worked with genuine care, were always approachable, and consistently delivered high-quality output.
We are happy with the outcome, having received a site that is not only visually appealing but also versatile and user-friendly, allowing us to easily create landing pages and effectively showcase the Ship&co App. Our heartfelt thanks to the Skydea team for their great work.

FAQs
We quote a fixed price for each scope. The main drivers are how complex the flows are, how many user types you support, and how much of the build we take on. A small team can start with one flow, such as onboarding, and add more later.
