Client Challenges

Interface Issues That Affect Product Delivery And User Experience

Solbeg is usually engaged when interface inconsistencies are already visible in support requests, product analytics, or a growing front-end backlog. Teams looking for a UI UX agency at this stage often need to understand why users leave key flows, why design decisions keep reopening, and where inconsistent patterns are slowing development. Solbeg addresses these needs within a broader software engineering environment.



Service Overview

UX/UI Design Across Research, Product Flows, Design Systems, And Engineering Handoff

Solbeg’s UI UX design services combine research, interaction design, interface design, prototyping, design systems, and implementation support. UI UX services are scoped around the gaps in the client’s product and delivery process, allowing Solbeg to join at the research, redesign, or implementation stage without forcing a fixed package.

UX research and current-state review

Stakeholder and user interviews, review of analytics and support data, and usability testing of flows that already exist in the product.

Information architecture and user flows

Navigation models, content structure, and task paths, including the states and edge cases that are often missing from initial specifications.

Interface design

Screen design for web and mobile, including type scale, color and contrast, responsive behavior across breakpoints, and the empty, loading, success, and error states each screen needs.

Prototyping and validation

Clickable prototypes used to test flows with users and give stakeholders something concrete to review before implementation starts.

Design systems

Component libraries, design tokens, and usage documentation that allow new screens to be assembled from established patterns instead of being redesigned from scratch.

Design support during implementation

Specifications for engineers, support during the build, and review of implemented screens against the agreed design.


Problem & solution



The problem

Fragmented design ownership creates inconsistent product decisions

In teams without dedicated design ownership, interface work can be distributed across several roles. A front-end engineer produces screens between development tasks, a founder sketches flows, or a marketing designer adapts brand assets for the product interface. The work gets done, but consistency across the product becomes difficult to maintain.

Decisions can also be made without enough evidence. If there is no record of why a flow is structured in a particular way, each review can reopen questions that were already discussed. New team members may revisit previous decisions because the reasoning behind them is no longer visible.

Even strong visual design can create implementation gaps if it only shows ideal states. A few finished screens do not tell an engineer what should happen with long text, failed requests, slow connections, empty data, or restricted permissions. Those gaps are then resolved during development, and the released interface can gradually drift away from the approved design.

Solbeg's approach

Design is connected to implementation from the start

Companies looking for a UI UX design agency often need clear ownership of interface decisions across screens and platforms. At Solbeg, this responsibility sits within a broader product engineering process, where design patterns are established and reused across the product.

Design decisions are connected to evidence. Research findings, product data, and usability test results can be documented alongside the flows they support. This gives stakeholders a common basis for review and reduces the need to reopen decisions without new information.

Deliverables are prepared with implementation in mind. Components are specified with their relevant states, responsive behavior, and usage conditions. Our UX UI design services can also include review of implemented screens, so differences between design and production are identified during delivery rather than after release.


When this service fits

Product Conditions That Require Dedicated UX/UI Design Support

Dedicated design work becomes relevant when a product is being built, restructured, adapted to new platforms, or scaled across several engineering teams. Solbeg focuses the engagement on the delivery constraint involved, whether that is missing user flows, inconsistent interface patterns, a design bottleneck, or modernization that must preserve established user behavior.

There is a specification and a development plan, but no defined flows or interface. Engineering needs something concrete to build against before implementation moves too far. Design has to stay ahead of development without becoming a separate project that delays it.

An existing product needs restructuring, but the current audience already knows how it works. The redesign has to account for learned behavior, existing workflows, and the risk of disrupting people who use the product regularly. That makes the work materially different from designing a first version.

Your engineers have capacity, but the backlog is blocked because screens and interaction rules are not defined. Front-end work either waits or has to be reworked later. UX UI services at this stage are about restoring delivery throughput rather than simply refreshing the visual style.

As development is split across squads, each team can begin solving interface challenges locally and in its own way. A shared component library and documented rules become necessary before those differences become expensive to reconcile. At this stage, involving a UX UI design firm helps establish shared patterns before interface inconsistency begins affecting delivery time as well as user experience.

The business logic still works, but the interface may have been designed around older workflows, technology constraints, or users who received extensive training. Employees may rely on workarounds, while onboarding new users takes longer than it should. The task is to improve the interaction without disrupting the operational processes the system supports.

Screen size and touch input affect the structure of a task, not only the layout. Flows designed for a large monitor may need to be reorganized around what users can realistically do on a phone, often in shorter sessions and in different usage contexts.


Scope of Work

UX/UI Design Responsibilities And Deliverables Across The Engagement

The exact scope is defined for each engagement. Solbeg’s UI and UX design services can combine research, product UX, interface design, design-system work, prototyping, mobile adaptation, engineering handoff, and design QA according to the product and delivery needs.

UX research

Stakeholder and user interviews, review of available analytics and support tickets, analysis of competing interfaces, and usability testing of existing flows. The output can include a documented list of findings prioritized by their effect on user tasks and product goals.


Why Solbeg

How Solbeg Connects UX/UI Design With Product Engineering

Solbeg delivers design inside a software engineering organization, so interface decisions can be evaluated against implementation constraints before they reach development. This keeps UX/UI work aligned with backend, frontend, mobile, and existing system requirements throughout delivery.

Design is checked against implementation reality

Screens can be reviewed against the technical constraints of the product before implementation begins. Decisions that would be unnecessarily expensive, difficult to maintain, or unsuitable for the selected stack can be identified during design instead of after development is already underway.


Comparison

Complete Design Phase Vs. Design Alongside Development

Solbeg can structure design work as a complete phase before implementation or keep design one step ahead of engineering throughout delivery. Teams looking for a UX UI agency often face the same delivery choice: complete the design scope first or keep design moving alongside development. The decision affects planning accuracy, time to the first implemented screens, and how easily priorities can change during development.

Option A
  • Fits products with a stable scope, a defined budget, or an external commitment such as a contracted deliverable or launch date
  • Gives engineering a more complete picture before estimation, which can make development planning and staffing more accurate
  • Usability testing can happen before implementation, when structural changes are still relatively inexpensive
  • Requires the business to answer important product questions early, which can slow the design phase if decisions are not available
  • Delays the first implemented screens because development begins after the relevant design scope is complete
  • Design decisions can become outdated if implementation starts much later or requirements change in the meantime

This model works best when the scope is relatively stable and the cost of changing direction during implementation is higher than the cost of completing design first.

Option B
  • Fits products already in active development, with ongoing releases and a roadmap that changes over time
  • Working screens can appear earlier, so later design decisions can take feedback from released software into account
  • Priorities can be reordered between iterations without requiring the entire design scope to be completed first
  • Requires a reliable handoff and design QA routine so implementation does not gradually drift from the agreed design
  • Makes full-scope estimation harder at the beginning because later areas are designed as earlier ones are validated
  • Benefits from establishing a component system early so the product does not accumulate inconsistencies as it grows
  • Depends on regular availability on both sides, including timely product decisions during the development cycle

This model is a better fit when development is already active and delivery cannot pause for a separate design phase. It depends more heavily on coordination and continuity throughout the engagement.


Engagement Process

UX/UI Design Delivery Across Discovery, Design, And Implementation Support

Solbeg structures a full-cycle engagement around discovery, research, interaction design, interface design, implementation support, and design QA. When only part of the scope is needed, the team can join at the relevant stage without requiring the full design cycle.

  1. Discovery and scope definition

    We review the product, current interface, business goals, users, and technical constraints with the relevant product and technical stakeholders. The result is an agreed scope, a list of included flows, and an understanding of the design capacity required.

  2. Research and current-state review

    Available usage data, existing flows, support feedback, stakeholder input, and user research are reviewed according to the agreed scope. The findings are turned into a prioritized set of issues that gives later design decisions a documented basis.

  3. Structure and prototype

    Information architecture, task flows, and wireframes are developed and, where useful, assembled into a clickable prototype. Structural changes can still be made at this stage before detailed interface work or implementation begins.

  4. Interface design and component system

    Screens are designed with the states and responsive behavior they require, while repeated patterns are defined as reusable components. The output includes the agreed screens together with the rules needed to extend the interface consistently.

  5. Handoff and support during implementation

    Specifications and relevant assets are provided to the engineering team, while designers remain available for questions within the agreed scope. Keeping design involved during implementation helps resolve interpretation issues before they reach production.

  6. Design QA and iteration

    Implemented screens are reviewed against the agreed design, and identified differences are documented for the development team. Where ongoing design is part of the engagement, findings from implementation and real product usage can feed into the next iteration.

FAQ

Key Questions Before Starting A UX/UI Design Engagement

Developers and designers are responsible for different parts of product delivery. Designers define user flows, interaction logic, component behavior, screen states, and interface consistency, while developers turn those decisions into working software. At Solbeg, design and engineering work together throughout delivery, giving developers clearer specifications and reducing rework caused by unresolved UX/UI decisions. Companies often involve a UI UX design firm when these responsibilities need dedicated ownership across the product.

Yes. Existing brand guidelines can be used as an input to product design and extended where the interface requires rules the brand system does not cover, such as data density, table behavior, responsive layouts, accessibility, and component states.

The exact deliverables depend on the agreed scope. They can include designed screens and their states, prototypes, a component library, design tokens, research findings, and specifications that engineers can use during implementation. The reasoning behind important flow and interaction decisions can also be documented so the work remains usable after the engagement ends.

Yes. A redesign can be divided into parts that are designed and released independently instead of being introduced through one large switchover. The sequence depends on the structure of the current interface, shared components, dependencies, and the product roadmap.

Both can be included. The research scope is agreed at the beginning of the engagement and can include stakeholder interviews, user interviews, usability testing, analytics review, and support data. Some projects require new research, while others can start with information the client already has.

Yes. A smaller engagement can begin with a review of the existing interface, research around a specific challenge, or the redesign of one important flow. This creates a concrete result and helps define the scope of a larger redesign before a broader commitment is made.

Yes. A shared design foundation can be established where appropriate and then adapted to the constraints of each platform. A flow that works well on a large screen may need to be reorganized for mobile, while iOS and Android interfaces should also account for their respective platform conventions rather than reproducing the web layout on a smaller screen.
