Interfaces & experience

Frontend engineering

Accessible interfaces, application architecture and performance.

Capability in business terms

Why this capability matters

Good interfaces make work easier to complete. Build around real tasks, readable information and predictable states.

What we typically scope

Accessible interfaces, application architecture, performance, design systems, migration off legacy front ends.

How we approach the work

Start from the task, not the component library.

Work we take on

Example engagement — illustrative. Typical scopes of work, not named client case studies.

An internal tool people avoid

Why it happens
An operations tool is slow, confusing and generates support tickets and shadow spreadsheets.
How we work it
Observe real users completing real work, identify the three highest-frequency tasks, redesign those paths, cut the rest to a secondary surface, measure task completion time before and after.
What you end up with
Measured task completion times for the primary paths, and the shadow spreadsheets made unnecessary rather than banned.

Accessibility with a deadline

Why it happens
A public-sector or enterprise contract requires WCAG 2.2 AA conformance and current state is unknown.
How we work it
Audit against WCAG 2.2 AA with automated and manual testing including keyboard and screen reader, rank findings by severity and user impact, remediate, add automated checks to CI, produce a conformance statement.
What you end up with
Findings remediated by severity, automated regression checks in CI, and a written conformance statement.

A page that loses users before it loads

Why it happens
Core Web Vitals are failing on the highest-traffic page and it is affecting conversion and search.
How we work it
Measure from field data rather than lab only, identify render-blocking resources and layout shift sources, prioritise the critical path, defer non-essential script, set a performance budget enforced in CI.
What you end up with
Field metrics within thresholds and a performance budget that fails the build when breached.

Migrating off a framework nobody maintains

Why it happens
An application runs on a framework that no longer receives security updates.
How we work it
Establish a boundary so old and new coexist, migrate route by route in order of business value and risk, keep both running behind one shell, retire the old framework once the last route moves.
What you end up with
Incremental migration with feature delivery continuing, and the legacy framework retired route by route.

A design system that nobody adopts

Why it happens
A component library exists; teams still build their own because adoption was never made easier than not adopting.
How we work it
Find out why teams bypass it, fix the gaps that force workarounds, provide migration codemods, publish contribution and versioning rules, measure adoption by component usage rather than by mandate.
What you end up with
Adoption measured by real usage, the blocking gaps closed, and a contribution route so teams extend rather than fork.

How we approach the work

Understand the estate

Map dependencies, constraints, decision owners and the current operating model.

Make the decision explicit

Record options, risks, costs and acceptance criteria before implementation.

Make the handover usable

Document changes, operating instructions and the remaining risks.

Delivery is subject to specialist fit and availability.

Start with clarity.
