01. Key Benefits
Figma design systems with annotated component handoff reduce development rework by thirty to forty per cent, cutting sprint delays caused by unclear design requirements.
User research and usability testing before build identifies friction points in checkout, onboarding and key task flows, improving conversion rates from the first release.
WCAG 2.1 AA-compliant colour contrast, keyboard navigation and ARIA patterns built into Figma files reduce accessibility remediation costs after development is complete.
Purpose-specific consent capture, ICO-compliant cookie banners and data minimisation flows are designed into interfaces before build, not retrofitted after launch.
Shared Figma component libraries and design tokens reduce per-screen design time by forty per cent, giving product teams faster iteration across growing feature sets.
Accessibility annotations, performance-aware design choices and Core Web Vitals targets are built into Figma handoffs, improving Google Lighthouse scores before code is written.
02. Offerings
Product teams get user research deliveries covering stakeholder interviews, persona workshops, task analysis and competitor benchmarking. Research outputs include prioritised insight reports, jobs-to-be-done frameworks and design principles that guide Figma wireframing and information architecture decisions throughout the project.
Design leads get Figma wireframes, annotated user flows and clickable prototypes covering all core journeys before development begins. Low-fidelity wireframes confirm information architecture. High-fidelity prototypes prove interaction patterns, state transitions and responsive behaviour across mobile, tablet and desktop breakpoints.
Development teams get a shared Figma design system with auto-layout components, colour tokens, typography scales and interaction variants. Component annotations and usage guidelines accompany every element. Storybook integration or a coded React component library can extend the Figma system into development environments for faster sprint delivery.
Compliance officers and product owners get WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility audits covering colour contrast, keyboard navigation, focus management, ARIA labelling and screen reader compatibility. Audit reports include a prioritised issue list and a remediation roadmap. Accessibility annotations in Figma handoff files prevent recurrence in future development sprints.
Growth teams get structured usability testing programmes with moderated task sessions, session recording analysis and think-aloud protocols. A/B testing plans for onboarding flows, checkout journeys and landing page variants are scoped with clear success metrics and statistical significance thresholds before any test launches.
03. Features
Auto-layout components, variable colour tokens and responsive variants give development teams Figma files that translate accurately into React or Vue.js code.
Contrast ratios, keyboard navigation, ARIA labels and screen reader-compatible patterns are tested and documented in Figma handoff files before development starts.
ICO-compliant cookie consent banners, granular opt-in toggles and data minimisation flows are applied to every user journey as standard interface components.
Performance-aware design decisions, image specifications and lazy-loading patterns are built into Figma handoffs to help development teams hit Lighthouse targets.
Task-based usability sessions, think-aloud protocols and session recording analysis identify friction before build, reducing post-launch support and redesign costs.
Structured A/B test plans with defined success metrics, statistical significance thresholds and variant specifications guide data-driven design improvement after launch.
05. Process
Softomate starts with user research, moves through information architecture and wireframing, builds Figma prototypes and delivers annotated handoff files that development teams can implement without interpretation gaps. Product owners, UX leads and compliance contacts stay involved at every stage.
Product goals, user types, accessibility obligations and UK GDPR requirements are mapped in discovery workshops with product owners, UX leads and compliance contacts. Discovery produces a project brief, persona outline and design scope covering WCAG 2.1 AA requirements and UK GDPR data collection needs before work begins.
Stakeholder interviews, user persona workshops, competitor benchmarking and analytics review are conducted with product owners, support leads and end users. Research produces an insight report, user journey maps and prioritised design principles that guide Figma architecture and component decisions throughout delivery.
Information architecture, navigation patterns and low-fidelity wireframes are produced in Figma with product owners and development leads. Wireframes confirm user flow logic, screen hierarchy and component inventory before high-fidelity design begins, preventing late-stage architecture changes that delay build sprints.
High-fidelity Figma designs, WCAG 2.1 AA-compliant components and interactive prototypes are built and tested with real users in moderated usability sessions. Design and test produces approved screens, accessibility annotations and usability findings that are resolved before handoff.
Annotated Figma handoff files, component documentation and a design QA process support development teams throughout build. Handoff produces developer-ready Figma specifications, a component usage guide, an accessibility checklist and an A/B testing plan for post-launch optimisation.

Why Softomate
Softomate delivers the complete design workflow - discovery research, low-fidelity wireframes, high-fidelity Figma prototypes and a developer-ready design system with component documentation. No handoffs between research and design agencies.
Design scope is determined by the number of distinct user journeys, screen states and component types. We count these in a scoping session before setting a price. Fixed price follows the count, not a daily rate estimate.
Colour contrast, focus states, ARIA role documentation and keyboard navigation patterns are part of every design deliverable. We produce an accessibility audit report alongside the final design system, not as a bolt-on phase.
Complex data-dense interfaces, multi-step configuration workflows, permission-tiered dashboards and API management consoles are our specialist territory. We design for professional users with high domain knowledge, not first-time consumer audiences.
Every Figma design system is delivered with a component library, usage documentation, responsive breakpoint specifications and a handoff guide. Your development team can implement and extend without interpretation meetings.

09. FAQs
Softomate provides end-to-end UX UI design for London digital products, covering user research, information architecture, Figma wireframing, interactive prototyping, design system creation, usability testing and WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility audits. Web applications, mobile apps, customer portals and SaaS dashboards are all within scope. Figma design files, component libraries and annotated handoff specifications are delivered to development teams. UK GDPR-compliant interface patterns for consent capture and data minimisation are built into user journeys. A/B testing plans and Google Lighthouse performance targets are scoped during discovery. Softomate clients typically reduce development rework by thirty to forty per cent when UX design precedes build. A discovery workshop confirms scope, user personas and delivery milestones before work begins.
Softomate conducts user research through stakeholder interviews, user persona workshops, competitor benchmarking and moderated usability testing sessions. Research uncovers real user goals, task frustrations and decision-making patterns before any wireframe is drawn. Survey tools, session recording and analytics data supplement qualitative findings when existing products are being redesigned. Insight reports summarise key findings, prioritised pain points and design recommendations for product owners. Research findings directly inform information architecture, navigation patterns and priority content decisions in Figma. Softomate clients who invest in research before design typically reduce post-launch usability complaints by fifty per cent within ninety days. A scoped research plan is produced at discovery so stakeholders understand methods, timelines and outputs before work starts.
Yes. Softomate designs WCAG 2.1 AA-compliant interfaces for web applications, customer portals and mobile products. Colour contrast ratios, keyboard navigation, focus indicators, ARIA labels and screen reader-compatible component patterns are applied throughout Figma design files. Accessibility annotations accompany component handoff documentation so developers implement correctly from the start. Google Lighthouse accessibility audits run against staging builds before launch. Softomate clients in the public sector, NHS supply chain and FCA-regulated financial services typically need WCAG 2.1 AA to meet procurement and legal obligations. Remediation of existing non-compliant interfaces is also within scope. An accessibility audit produces a prioritised issues list and a remediation roadmap within five to ten working days of kickoff.
A design system is a shared library of reusable UI components, design tokens, typography scales and interaction patterns maintained in Figma and mirrored in code. Products with multiple screens, multiple developers or planned feature growth benefit most from a design system. Without one, teams duplicate components, introduce inconsistencies and slow down sprint velocity. Softomate builds design systems in Figma with auto-layout components, variable colour tokens and responsive variants. Storybook or a coded component library can accompany the Figma system for development teams using React or Vue.js. Softomate clients adopting a design system typically reduce per-screen design time by forty per cent and cut design-to-development handoff queries by sixty per cent within three months. A design system scope is confirmed during discovery based on product complexity and team size.
Most UX UI design projects for London web or mobile products take four to ten weeks from discovery to approved handoff-ready Figma files. Discovery and user research normally take one to two weeks. Information architecture, user flows and low-fidelity wireframes follow in one to two weeks. High-fidelity Figma designs, component library and interactive prototype take two to three weeks. Usability testing, A/B testing plan and accessibility review add five to eight working days. Design system creation alongside a new product extends timelines by two to three weeks. Redesign projects for existing products with large screen counts may take longer. A scoped delivery plan with milestones is produced after discovery so product owners can plan development resource alongside design.
Softomate integrates UK GDPR-compliant patterns into interface design from the wireframe stage. Consent capture flows, purpose-specific opt-in toggles, privacy notice placement and data minimisation principles are applied to user journeys before any visual design begins. Cookie consent banners follow ICO guidance with granular category controls and a clear reject option alongside accept. Subject access request entry points and account deletion flows are designed as standard interface components rather than afterthoughts. FCA-regulated and NHS-adjacent products receive additional review against sector-specific data governance requirements. Softomate design files include GDPR pattern annotations for development teams. A compliance checklist covering data collection, consent capture and retention messaging is produced before the design is handed off for build.
Yes. Softomate runs moderated and unmoderated usability testing on existing digital products using session recordings, task-based scenarios and think-aloud protocols. Usability testing identifies friction points, navigation failures and comprehension gaps before redesign work begins. A/B testing plans for checkout flows, onboarding journeys and landing page variants are scoped using Google Optimize or equivalent tooling. Test hypotheses, success metrics and statistical significance thresholds are agreed with product owners before any test runs. Softomate clients using structured usability testing before redesign typically reduce post-launch support queries by thirty per cent within sixty days. Results from testing feed directly into Figma redesign recommendations ranked by impact and implementation effort. A testing scope and timeline are produced during discovery.
