In one answer

PixelCrayons designs product UI, marketing websites and brand identities, and can build what it designs. Every engagement starts with research, ships as a reusable design system, and ends in dev-ready files, or production front-end code from the same team. WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility is a default, not an upsell. First deliverable within 14 days. Direct for brands, white-label for agencies.

Where to start

Start with the problem
you have.

A marketing site that has to convert and rank. A product people can use without a manual. A brand that survives a pitch deck. A Figma file that needs to become a real front-end. Each has its own senior lead; all of it is one team.

What we design, we can build.

Most studios hand over a Figma file and wish you luck. The gap between design intent and shipped code goes to whichever developer picks up the ticket next. Our designers and front-end developers sit in the same delivery team, so the interface you approve is the interface that ships: same spacing, same motion, same accessibility. No translation loss, no second agency, no discovering at launch that the build doesn't match the file.

In writing, every time

What a design engagement
actually includes.

01

Research before pixels

Stakeholder interviews, analytics and heatmap review, and user-journey mapping before anything is drawn. Design decisions get written rationale tied to what your users actually do, so reviews debate evidence, not taste. A wrong assumption costs an hour to fix in Figma and weeks to fix in production.

Week 1
02

Systems, not one-off screens

Every colour, size and spacing gets a name (a token), every button and card becomes a component, and the rules for laying them out are written down. Screen forty is then as considered as screen one, and the next campaign page takes hours, not a fresh project. One-off artboards age badly. Systems compound.

Every project
03

Dev-ready handoff

Named layers, documented tokens, redlines (the exact measurements a developer builds from), variants (each state a component can be in) and motion notes a developer who has never met us could build from. Or skip the handoff risk entirely and have our own front-end team ship it as production code.

Every delivery
04

Accessibility as a default

WCAG 2.1 AA contrast, visible focus states, reduced-motion alternatives and semantic structure are in the base spec of every engagement, not an add-on line in the proposal. Accessible design is simply the professional standard.

Included
05

Revisions on a schedule

Review rounds are written into scope before work starts, with consolidated-feedback windows at direction, first-deliverable and pre-handoff stages. Revisions are a planned part of the process, never an open-ended negotiation.

Per round
First 14 days

Brief to first deliverable,
no mystery in between.

01
Days 1 to 3

Discovery & research

Stakeholder interviews, an audit of your current experience, competitor website review, and agreement on what success looks like, in writing, before any design starts.

02
Days 4 to 7

Direction, decided

Visual directions explored and presented with rationale. One is chosen with you in the room, so everything after moves fast instead of hedging.

03
Days 8 to 13

First screens, in the system

Priority screens designed inside a live component library from day one, tokens, states and layout rules forming as the screens do.

04
Day 14

First deliverable lands

A clickable prototype and the foundations of your design system, delivered for structured review. From here the same rhythm simply repeats: design, review, ship.

Inside Prism

Your engagement, week to week,
in one workspace.

Your design engagement runs in a Prism workspace you log into: review requests, sign-offs, the task list and the weekly review, with each decision recorded.

  • 01

    Requests and approvals, in one place

    Raise a request in your workspace, approve a piece of work, and see who owns it and when it is due.

  • 02

    Owned tasks and routines

    Every task has one owner and a date. Recurring work runs as a routine, so nothing depends on someone remembering.

  • 03

    A weekly review with decisions recorded

    Each decision is written down with the expectation attached: what we expect to change, and by when.

  • 04

    Every action recorded, checked against the outcome

    What we did and what happened sit side by side, so the next review starts from evidence rather than memory.

How we report it, in Prism

The states ledger,
before a screen is signed off.

What you receive in month one

Design is reported as a set of documents you can review without a walkthrough. In the first month you receive the research summary with the tasks users need to complete, the information architecture with every page and its purpose, and the states ledger listing each screen with its empty, loading, error and success states. Review rounds are logged with the decisions taken and the reasons for them.

  • 01Research summary: user tasks, existing friction, and what was observed
  • 02Information architecture: every page, its purpose, and how users reach it
  • 03States ledger: each screen with empty, loading, error and success states
  • 04Component inventory: what is reused, what is new, and where each appears
  • 05Decision log: each review round, what changed and why

Questions

Frequently
asked.

There's no flat rate card, because a five-page marketing site and a full product design system are different jobs. Every proposal is scoped against your brief and itemises exactly what you get: research activities, screens or page templates, the component library, prototypes, handoff documentation and the number of review rounds. You compare deliverables, not day rates. You'll have a written, priced scope within 48 hours of the first call. Agencies get white-label rates they can quote onward with margin.

Your first deliverable (typically the research summary plus a clickable prototype of priority screens) lands within 14 days of the NDA. A marketing site design is scoped by page and template count; a product UI, brand identity or design system runs longer and is phased so development can start before every screen is finished. Timelines are written into scope with named milestones, so you always know what arrives when. If a date moves, you hear it from us first, with the reason.

Yes, that's the point of our design-to-code service. The same organisation that designs your interface can ship it as a production front-end: semantic markup, accessible components, the motion and spacing exactly as specified. You avoid the classic failure where a separate build agency "interprets" the design and quietly drops the details. Equally, you can take just the design to your own developers. The files are structured for that too, with tokens, variants and redlines a stranger could build from. We'll answer your developers' questions during the build at no extra charge.

Review rounds are written into the scope before work starts: structured feedback windows at the direction, first-deliverable and pre-handoff stages. Revisions are then a planned part of the process, not a negotiation. Within a round, consolidated feedback is turned around on a stated schedule. If the brief itself changes mid-project, we say so plainly and re-scope that piece rather than absorbing it silently and letting the timeline or the quality slip.

Yes. Agency partners white-label our design work under their own brands: your project templates, your client calls, our designers. The arrangement is NDA-backed with a contractual commitment never to approach your clients. Every deliverable is prepared to present as your studio's work: file naming, cover pages and documentation style included. The white-label design page explains how the partnership is structured and how to get our rate card.

Figma is the primary tool for UI, web and brand-system work, with prototypes shared as live links your whole team can comment on. And yes, you own everything: the Figma files, the component library, the tokens, the brand assets and the documentation. It's all handed over into your own workspace at the end of the engagement. No hostage files, no "source available on request". If your team standardises on another tool, say so at scoping and we'll agree the delivery format upfront.

Whichever the brief asks for, most engagements are the former. If you already have a brand system, we work inside it: your type scale, your colour tokens, your component conventions, extended rather than reinvented. New screens then read as the same product rather than a visible seam where a different designer took over. Where guidelines exist but are thin or contradictory, we'll flag the specific gaps before starting rather than quietly making judgment calls you'd disagree with. If you need a brand design agency for a ground-up identity, that is its own service, scoped separately, for teams that genuinely need one rather than a refresh. We'll say so directly if a refresh is really what the brief needs instead of a full rebuild: a smaller scope beats a bigger one sold because it pays better. Either way, the deliverable includes a documented token system, not just static screens, so the next designer to touch the product inherits rules instead of guesswork.

on your next release.

A scoped, itemised design proposal within 48 hours, and if we go ahead, your first deliverable within 14 days of the NDA. Files, tokens and library are yours to keep either way.
