Design Users Understand in Five Seconds
Research-driven product design — from user interviews to production design systems. Interfaces your customers understand in the first five seconds and remember after the last click.
Design That's Measured, Not Just Admired
Pretty screens are table stakes. Gleyon's design practice starts with research — interviews, analytics, and usability testing — so every layout decision traces back to something a real user did, said, or struggled with.
And because our designers sit next to our engineers, what you approve in Figma is what ships in production: a tokenized design system, documented components, and zero translation loss between design and code.
- User research — interviews, journey mapping, and analytics deep-dives
- Wireframes and high-fidelity prototypes you can click before you commit
- Production-ready design systems with tokens, components, and docs
- Usability testing with real users before and after launch
- WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility reviewed at every design stage
- Direct designer-to-engineer handoff — no translation loss, no drift
Built for Teams Where the Interface Is the Product
You need the product designed, prototyped, and user-tested before your first engineer writes a line — so the build starts right.
Traffic arrives but signups or checkouts stall. You need the friction found with real users and designed out, step by step.
Years of inconsistent screens across products and teams — you need one design system with tokens, docs, and governance.
You have designers but need dedicated usability research and moderated testing to settle debates with evidence.
A Full Product Design Practice
User Research
Interviews, surveys, and behavioral analytics synthesized into personas and journeys your whole team can act on.
UX & Interaction Design
Information architecture, flows, and wireframes that remove friction before pixels get expensive.
UI & Visual Design
Interface design with typographic and spatial discipline — distinctive, on-brand, and instantly legible.
Design Systems
Tokenized, documented component libraries that keep every future screen consistent and fast to build.
Prototyping & Testing
Clickable prototypes and moderated usability tests that validate decisions with users, not opinions.
Accessibility Audits
WCAG 2.1 AA reviews of contrast, keyboard flow, and screen-reader behavior — compliance and empathy in one pass.
A Process You Can Set Your Watch To
Four stages, weekly demos, zero surprises. You always know what shipped, what's next, and what it costs.
Research
We interview users and stakeholders, audit analytics, and map the journeys that matter — findings you get in writing.
Wireframe
Structure first: flows and low-fidelity wireframes iterated fast, so layout debates happen when changes are cheap.
Design & Prototype
High-fidelity screens and a clickable prototype, validated in usability sessions with people who match your users.
Systemize & Ship
A tokenized design system handed straight to engineering — with the designers on call through implementation.

The Difference, Line by Line
| What matters | With Gleyon | Typical agency |
|---|---|---|
| Decisions | Tested with real users before they ship | Taste and opinion in a conference room |
| Deliverables | Code-ready tokens, components, and docs | Flat mockups engineers must reinterpret |
| Accessibility | WCAG checked at every design stage | Discovered in QA, fixed in a panic |
| Handoff | Designers stay on call through the build | Thrown over the wall and forgotten |
| Measurement | Conversion baselines and post-launch tracking | "Looks great" and a case-study screenshot |
| Revisions | Structured critique cycles with clear criteria | Endless subjective rounds on the meter |
Gleyon rebuilt our signup flow around what users actually did in testing, not what we assumed. Trial-to-paid conversion nearly doubled in a quarter — and the design system they left behind cut our screen build time roughly in half.
UI/UX Design Questions, Answered
Can you redesign our product without disrupting current users?
Do we need user research, or can we skip straight to screens?
What do we actually receive at the end of a design engagement?
Do you work with our in-house developers?
Do you test with real users, or just run heuristics internally?
