Designers who work with engineers
Our designers sit in the same team as our developers, so every design is buildable, and built as designed.
Backendz designs web apps, mobile apps and SaaS products that people understand the first time and enjoy the hundredth. Research, prototypes and design systems from a team that also builds what it designs, so nothing is lost in handover.
Or see how we engage first — four shapes, no sales call required.
No more users ringing support to ask where a button is
Stop losing sign-ups halfway through a confusing onboarding
Forget dashboards crammed with every number nobody reads
Done with designs that look great in Figma and can't be built
Skip every screen looking like it came from a different product
Say bye to redesigns based on opinions instead of evidence
Our designers sit in the same team as our developers, so every design is buildable, and built as designed.
Operations platforms, dashboards and field apps, where clarity matters more than decoration.
We test with real users before a design goes to build.
Design systems and component libraries that keep your product consistent as it grows.

Most enquiries land in one of these. If yours does not, say so on the call — we would rather shape the engagement than sell you the nearest shape we have.
Typical timeline: 2–4 weeks for an audit
Best for: products with poor adoption or heavy support load
Best for: new products, apps and MVPs
Best for: growing products with several teams
Best for: teams who want one partner from idea to launch
Every card is a build we shipped and still support. Open one for the decisions behind it.
What falls inside this service. Nothing here is an upsell discovered later.
We learn who uses the product, what they're trying to do and where they get stuck.




Operations directors, CTOs and plant managers — the ones still using the system a year after the invoice cleared.
Freight operator · 14 depots
Freight operator · 14 depotsWe wanted answers our team could check against the original document. Having the relevant clause beside the response makes the assistant useful when reviewing policies and contracts.
Our rental journey had to work for both vehicle owners and travellers. Backendz brought listings, availability and bookings together into a platform that feels straightforward to use.
A single headcount does not tell us where congestion is developing. The zone-based view gives our team a clearer picture of how people are moving and where attention may be needed.
Tender preparation involves gathering evidence and getting the right people to review each section. Backendz brought those steps into one workspace, with drafts our team can check and approve.
Our estimating process needed to reflect how we actually price work. Backendz took time to understand the inputs and rules, then built a quoting journey our team could review and refine.
The team took time to understand how our staff work between appointments. The resulting system brings scheduling and client information together without making the day more complicated.
We could review working features throughout the build and give specific feedback. That made it easier to keep the product focused on the people using it.
Our field team needed access to job details away from the office. The mobile workflow keeps the relevant information close at hand and gives the office a clearer view of progress.
We wanted a client portal that reflected how we deliver our services. Backendz brought documents, requests and progress updates into a straightforward experience for clients and staff.
Our teams were entering the same information into several tools. Backendz mapped the process with us and built a more connected workflow with clear review points.
We needed scheduling, availability and shift changes in one place. Backendz shaped the system around the way our operations team works and stayed involved after launch to help us refine it.
Ask for references and we will put you on a call with the team that runs the system — not a case study PDF.

We wanted a practical way to review PPE and safety-zone events using our existing cameras. The team focused on the situations our site managers need to investigate and made the footage easier to review.
The priority was a counting workflow our warehouse team could use during a normal shift. Backendz connected image-based counts with the records we already use and made discrepancies easier to review.
Our information was spread across several operational systems. Backendz designed a clearer way to ask questions, inspect the supporting evidence and keep approval with our team before an action is taken.
The reconciliation workflow gives our finance team one place to review mismatches and supporting records. We can trace an exception back to its source and decide what needs attention.
We had outgrown the spreadsheets that held our pricing rules. Backendz helped turn that knowledge into a quoting tool we can maintain and explain to new colleagues.
Connecting our sales and inventory systems was the priority. The integration gives our team a clearer view of updates and a practical way to investigate records that need review.
The cloud work started with understanding our existing systems and dependencies. The team documented the setup and gave us a clearer basis for monitoring and ongoing maintenance.
The engineers worked alongside our team and explained their decisions clearly. Code reviews and practical documentation helped us stay involved throughout delivery.

The things people ask before they commit.
Ask it on the call. We would rather answer an awkward question early than discover it in month three.
Book a callUX (user experience) design shapes how a product works: the journeys, structure and flow that let people complete tasks easily. UI (user interface) design shapes how it looks: layout, colour, typography and components. Good products need both, designed together.
UX design decides what a product does and in what order, based on research into users' needs. UI design decides how each screen looks and feels. UX makes a product usable; UI makes it clear, consistent and pleasant to use.
Both. Backendz can provide design on its own, or design and development together. When we build what we design, there's no handover gap and the finished product matches the design.
Cost depends on the number of screens, the research involved and whether a design system is needed. A UX audit costs far less than designing a full product. We fix the scope and price after an initial call.
A design system is a shared library of components, colours, typography and rules used across a product. It keeps every screen consistent, speeds up design and development, and makes it easier for new team members to build features that fit.
Yes. Backendz designs to WCAG 2.2 AA as standard, covering colour contrast, keyboard navigation, readable text and screen-reader support, so products work for more people and meet public-sector and enterprise requirements.
