UI/UX design in Boston

For stores selling into Boston, the interface is doing one job that the design brief rarely names: laboratory equipment and consumables suppliers. Until that is handled, improvements elsewhere on the page are being made around an unanswered question. We deliver this remotely for Boston clients rather than from an office there.

A drawing of a design system for a Boston store being measured: type sizes, colour tokens, component states and a contrast reading above the WCAG 2.2 AA threshold.

Laboratory equipment and consumables suppliers

The answer belongs on the page rather than behind a link.

A customer who has to leave to find out whether something applies to them frequently does not come back, and the link was cheaper to add than the sentence but costs considerably more. The businesses this applies to in Boston cluster around Back Bay, and they are suppliers selling to universities on institutional accounts more often than general retailers, which is why this particular requirement is the one that keeps coming up rather than a more obvious one. None of this is a separate accessibility exercise. A page that is legible in daylight, operable with a keyboard and readable in an order that makes sense is simply a page that works, and treating that as an extra stage is how it never happens. That question is the design brief. laboratory equipment and consumables suppliers determines what belongs on the first screen, what can wait further down and what should come off the page entirely, and a design that has not decided it is arranging elements rather than solving anything for anybody.

We have no office in Boston. Our studio is in Rajkot, India, and every project here is delivered remotely — if a supplier who can attend your premises matters to you, that is a fair requirement and we do not meet it.

What a UI/UX design project includes

Three things, and they are the same wherever you are. What changes is the subject above.

  • UX audit against a published checklist

  • Redesign of the highest-revenue templates

  • Design system and tokens, where they earn their cost

The other three, and what each one covers

Each answers a different question for Boston businesses. None of them repeats this page.

UI/UX design questions from Boston

Three questions about the subject above. How we work, what it costs and who owns the code are answered on the service page.

Do you work with our developers?

Regularly, and the handover is the part worth planning. Designs that specify states, edge cases and behaviour on a narrow screen get built correctly; designs that show one perfect screen get interpreted, and the interpretation is where the intent gets lost. That applies to a Boston client exactly as it would anywhere else.

Do you redesign or start from scratch?

Usually neither at first. The useful first step is establishing what is actually going wrong, which is frequently narrower than a redesign and considerably cheaper. A Boston store losing customers at one step does not need a new visual identity; it needs that step fixed.

What do you need from us to start?

Access to what customers actually do, whatever form that takes, and half an hour with whoever answers the support messages. That second conversation is consistently the most useful part of the work, because complaints describe the interface more accurately than any brief does. That holds for Boston work as much as for anywhere we deliver.
