Services
UI/UX Design
Design that developers can build from — interactive prototypes, design systems, and user research that drives product decisions, not just aesthetics.
What UI/UX design services does Code and Trust offer?
Code and Trust provides end-to-end UI/UX design: user research and journey mapping, information architecture, wireframes, high-fidelity Figma mockups, interactive prototypes, and design systems. Because our designers work alongside the engineers who build from their files, design-to-development handoff takes days, not weeks. Clients ship features 35% faster when design and engineering work in the same team.
What we deliver
Every design engagement produces documentation and artifacts your team can use long after the engagement ends. The design system deliverable in particular is an investment that compounds — every future feature built from a defined component library ships faster and looks more consistent.
- →User research synthesis and findings report
- →User journey maps and personas
- →Information architecture — site maps and content hierarchy
- →Wireframes — low-fidelity and high-fidelity
- →Interactive Figma prototypes for stakeholder review and user testing
- →Design systems and component libraries
- →Responsive design for mobile and desktop breakpoints
- →WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility compliance verification
- →Developer-ready Figma with specs, assets, and annotations
Who it's for
Design services work best when there's a real product, real users, and a specific problem to solve. We don't do speculative design or vague 'make it look better' engagements — every project starts with a clear problem statement and measurable success criteria agreed on before the first wireframe.
- →Software teams without a dedicated designer
- →Founders who can code but need design expertise
- →Companies redesigning an existing product that users find confusing
- →Organizations needing WCAG accessibility compliance for enterprise customers
Tools and technology
We use Figma as the primary design tool because it's the industry standard for developer handoff and team collaboration. Every other tool in our stack is chosen because it integrates with Figma and produces output that your engineering team can consume without translation.
Figma
All design deliverables — the industry standard for developer handoff
FigJam
Workshops, journey mapping, and collaborative discovery sessions
Storybook
Component documentation alongside the engineering team
Tailwind CSS
Design token alignment so Figma tokens map directly to code
Framer
Advanced motion design and micro-interaction prototyping
UserTesting.com
Remote usability testing with real users
Recent example
A nonprofit with 40,000+ users needed a full redesign of their donor management portal. A 3-week discovery phase revealed 8 critical usability failures. The redesign increased task completion rate from 54% to 91%. Zero-downtime launch, no user complaints about the transition.

Common questions
Do you do UX research or just design?
Both. Good design requires research — otherwise you're designing for assumptions, not users. Our process always starts with understanding who uses the product and how before producing a single wireframe.
What design tools do you use?
Figma for all design deliverables — it's the industry standard for developer handoff and collaboration. FigJam for workshops and journey mapping. We don't produce Sketch, Adobe XD, or Photoshop files.
How do you ensure designs are buildable?
Our designers work alongside engineers throughout the project. Every design decision is reviewed for technical feasibility before it becomes a final mockup. No "beautiful but impossible" designs.
Do you provide a design system?
Yes — for any engagement longer than 6 weeks, we build a design system: component library, color tokens, typography scale, spacing system, and icon set. This speeds up both design and development for all future work.
Can you design for accessibility compliance?
Yes. All designs follow WCAG 2.1 AA minimum. We check contrast ratios, keyboard navigation, screen reader compatibility, and touch target sizes. Accessibility is designed in from the start, not bolted on after.
Ready to design something users can actually use?
Start with a scoping call. We'll define the problem, estimate the engagement, and you'll have a proposal within 48 hours.
