UI/UX design agency: discovery, UX research, UI design and handoff
Developers can only build what a design shows. After one free discovery meeting we prepare a basic mockup or proof of concept that lets us estimate the cost. We are a UI/UX design agency for founders and product teams, and carry the work through UX research, UI design, prototype, tests and handoff.
What a UI/UX design agency does
A UI/UX design agency designs how a product works and how it looks, then stays with it until developers can build it. At Order Group the Product Designer answers for the whole user experience and co-decides the shape of the product. The work belongs to our Design services, which include User Experience Design and User Interface Design.

BizBot: workshops in three cities
BizBot is an Oslo startup that automates administration for companies. We redesigned the UX and UI of its platform, and the scope also covered brand identity, the website and marketing materials.
The main challenge was understanding how business works in Norway, including local legal and cultural nuances. Without that, the platform would not have been intuitive or consistent with local law. Product workshops and hackathons in Warsaw, Oslo and Istanbul gave the team knowledge about business processes, and that knowledge went into the platform design. The face-to-face sessions tied the design to the real activities of Norwegian companies.
The work produced 400 screens, 21 landing pages, more than 50 graphic elements and a design system for the next modules. BizBot later raised 6.4M NOK and joined the Copenhagen FinTech accelerator, and users and investors gave positive feedback.

The idea still needs shaping, or the team does not yet agree on the scope: begin with the discovery meeting, which is free.
Part of the design is already done in your team: we take on UX or UI as a standalone service.

FAQ for founders
Questions founders and product teams ask before the first meeting.
-
Product design covers the whole product experience: research, UX, UI and the product decisions behind them. A Product Designer answers for that experience and for the consistency of the product. UX design covers user flows, information architecture and wireframes. UI design covers final screens, components and the design system.
-
Yes. We also work on site at the client's office, so the whole team can sit in one room for workshops. A User Journey Mapping workshop works best that way.
-
Yes. The basic discovery is a single meeting and costs nothing, and it is the first stage of a project. A broader discovery can run for several months; its scope and estimate depend on the project, so we agree them separately (see Product Discovery Workshop).
-
If you decide to go on, UX research comes next, then UI design, a prototype with usability tests, and the handoff to your developers, who receive complete design documentation. A User Journey Mapping workshop fits in where the team needs a shared map of the user's journey through the product.
-
You can hire either one alone: User Experience Design and User Interface Design are standalone services. If the product is still an idea, UX research and wireframes come first.
-
A session takes one or two days. The preparation before it takes at least a week or two. It works best with everyone in one room, though it also runs over video. The full setup is described in our article on how to set up the workshops.
-
We use Figma in most projects, for mockups, prototypes and design systems. Miro or FigJam handle user flows, journey mapping and workshops. Usability tests run on the interactive prototypes.
-
The cost depends on the scope of work: which stages you need (discovery, UX research, UI design, prototype and tests, handoff) and how large the product is. After the first discovery meeting we estimate it from the basic mockup or proof of concept.
-
BizBot is our published example. The project delivered 21 landing pages, more than 50 graphic elements and a design system for the next modules, and the company later joined the Copenhagen FinTech accelerator. The BizBot case study has the details.
