UX & UI

Losing people before they get to the good bit?

If visitors keep dropping out halfway, it's rarely a mystery. We find where it happens, and why, then design it out.

Nobody praises a website for being easy to use. People only notice when it isn't, and then they leave without telling you why. The problem is invisible from the inside: analytics show the drop, not the reason.

We work it out by watching. Where people hesitate, what they skip, which words they scan for. Then we design around what they do rather than what we assumed they would do.

We're based in Leicester and Huddersfield, and we work with businesses across the Midlands, Yorkshire and a fair way beyond. Happy to meet in person if that helps, happy to keep it to a call if it doesn't.

Talk to us
Losing people before they get to the good bit?

This is probably you if

  • People start something on your site and don't finish it.
  • Your team argues about design based on opinion rather than evidence.
  • You're about to build something and want to be sure it's right first.
  • Support keeps answering the same confused question.

Sound familiar? We'll tell you honestly whether we can help.

Tell us what's going on

What that involves

User research

Talking to the people who use the thing. A handful of proper conversations usually beats a month of internal debate.

Structure and naming

What goes where, and what it's called. Most navigation problems are naming problems in disguise.

Wireframes

Structure first, without colour or imagery to distract from whether it actually works.

Usability testing

We give people a task and watch them try. Uncomfortable, and the fastest way to find what's broken.

Interface design

Hierarchy, spacing, states and components applied consistently, so people learn the interface once.

Accessibility

Contrast, focus states, keyboard routes and screen reader labels, built in from the start.

“628 have been absolutely amazing to work alongside over the past couple of years. They have been invaluable in assisting us with tasks around our CMS, assisting with development and providing some incredible Wireframes, which we've been able to implement… Their knowledge around system and UI/UX design is absolutely incredible, as is their use and implementation of AI directly into external products such as ours.”

Why people choose us.

Plenty of studios can build you a website. Here's what tends to make the difference.

Design and engineering, one team

The people who name it and draw it sit with the people who build it. No handover between two suppliers, and no gap in the middle for you to manage.

We'll tell you not to spend

If a tidy-up solves it, we'll say so rather than sell you a rebuild. We'd rather lose the bigger job than take money for something that won't pay back.

You talk to the people building it

Founder-led, so there's no account manager relaying your question to someone you never meet. Decisions get made in the same conversation.

A fixed price before we start

You get the number up front, after a free call. No day rate quietly ticking over and no invoice that surprises you at the end.

You own all of it

Code, designs, hosting, repositories. No proprietary platform you can't leave and no licence that grows every time you hire someone.

Offices you can actually visit

Leicester and Huddersfield. Happy to sit down with you and map the thing out in person, happy to keep it to a call if that's easier.

Questions, answered.
