Finding a great designer is difficult

...especially when you're on a budget.

It's time-consuming

Finding a UX designer who can take responsibility of your product's experience takes time. There's the job ads, interviews, portfolio reviews, training and more.

We're ready to go straight away.

The cost is high

Hiring a UX designer full-time is a big financial commitment for your company while you're still trying to find product-market fit.

Having a design subscription means less of a financial burden for your business.

Things are uncertain

The start-up world is messy.

There's no guarantee what might happen long-term.

Keeping things affordable and flexible is key.

Making design easier for start-ups

We take the hassle out of optimising the UX of your products. Here's how it works.

1. Subscribe

You subscribe to a monthly or quarterly plan based on your needs.

2. Make requests

You get a bespoke Trello board created for your design requests. Add as many as you like - there's no limit.

3. We get to work

Requests are worked on, one-by-one. You'll be kept up-to-date with progress via Trello and immediately notified when a request has been completed.

Typically, requests are completed within a few days. Some clients have even gotten requests fulfilled within the day they subscribed.

4. Review

Upon completion of a request, you can review the outcome and can request as many revisions or iterations as you like. This ensures the final product is exactly what you want.

Who's involved

Lightning UX is a solo-agency right now, focused on making great UX design as efficient and accessible as possible.
