Services
Screens, flows and the order to build them in, for an app, a bot or a game.
- What's included
- A map of screens and user flows, the feature list of the first version and a clear list of what can wait.
- Who it's for
- Fits if you have an idea and no spec yet, or a spec that has grown too big to build.
- How it goes
- You write with the idea. A conversation about the task follows, then a written proposal of scope. The work goes in stages, with interim reviews.
- What you get
- A document and mock-ups that a developer can build from, whoever that developer is.
A working product: server, Telegram bot or Mini App, web interface and launch.
- What's included
- Backend and database, a Telegram bot or Mini App, a web interface, deployment to a server and handover of access.
- Who it's for
- Fits if you need a product that runs at a real address, not a prototype, and have nobody to build it.
- How it goes
- A letter with the task, a conversation, a written proposal of scope. Then the build in stages, with a working version shown at each one, and the launch.
- What you get
- A running product.
Interface, colours and type, name and logo.
- What's included
- Interface screens, a palette and fonts, a name, a logo or mark, and short rules for using them.
- Who it's for
- Fits a new product that needs a face, or an older one whose look no longer matches what it does.
- How it goes
- A letter, a conversation about the product and its audience, then a few directions to choose from and one of them worked out in detail.
- What you get
- Source files and a short guide a developer or another designer can follow. The usbun look and mascot were made this way.
A review of a site, app or game: what works, what breaks, what to fix first.
- What's included
- A walk through the product the way a new user sees it, a check of texts, screens and flows, and a written list of findings.
- Who it's for
- Fits if something feels off and it is unclear what, or before a launch, while there is still time to change things.
- How it goes
- Send a link or access and a few lines about the goal. The review comes back in writing; a call to go through it is possible on request.
- What you get
- A list of findings with priorities: what to fix first, what can wait, what to leave as it is.
