UX is structure and logic: how someone moves through your site, what they understand in the first ten seconds, and whether they find what they came for. UI is the visual layer on top — typography, colour, spacing, states, and the components that hold it all together.
Split across two vendors, these two layers drift apart. The UX researcher hands over a flow, the visual designer reinterprets it, the developer simplifies both into something buildable. Every handoff loses intent, and the client pays twice: once for the design, once for the fixes.
We keep research, structure, visual design, and build in one place. Not because it is cheaper, but because it is the only way the thing you approved in Figma is the thing that goes live.
Design-only studio vs design and build in one place
| Aspect | Design-only studio | Tarasovs |
|---|---|---|
| What you get | A Figma file | A live, working website |
| Who builds it | Your developer — or one you still need to find | We do |
| Animations | Described in a doc, often dropped in build | Designed to be built, then built |
| Responsive | Desktop and mobile frames | Every breakpoint, tested on real devices |
| Design system | Components in Figma | Components in Figma and in the CMS |
| What breaks | Intent lost between design and code | Nothing to lose — same team |
| Timeline | Design, then find a developer, then build | Design and build overlap |
| Search & AI visibility | Not their scope | Structure and schema planned during design |
We don’t open a design tool until we understand who is buying, what they compare you against, and what has to happen on the page for the business to work. That means competitor teardowns, a review of your analytics if you have them, and a direct conversation about who actually says yes to your offer. Skipping this step is why so many redesigns look better and convert exactly the same.
Page structure, navigation logic, and the order in which information appears. This is where most conversion problems are solved or created, long before anything is styled. We map what each page has to answer, in what sequence, and what the next step is from every point on the site.
Low-fidelity layouts that settle structure before visual decisions get emotional. Moving a block in a wireframe costs minutes; moving it in an approved design costs a week. You see the skeleton of every key page and the path a visitor takes from landing to enquiry.
The visual layer: typography scale, colour system, spacing rules, iconography, and imagery direction. Every component gets its states — default, hover, active, disabled, error, empty. Designs that only show the happy path are the ones that fall apart in build.
Reusable blocks that keep the site consistent and make future updates cheap. One set of components powers every page, so adding a service page next year takes hours instead of a new design project. You own the Figma library, organised and documented.
Motion designed by someone who will also build it. Scroll behaviour, transitions, hover states, and micro-interactions are specified as things that can actually ship, not as a mood reel. This is the single biggest source of disappointment in design-only engagements.
Mobile-first layouts across every breakpoint, checked on real devices rather than a browser resize. Colour contrast, touch target sizes, keyboard navigation, and heading hierarchy reviewed against WCAG 2.1 AA — which is also, increasingly, what AI agents read when they parse your page.
Whether we build the site or your team does, you get an organised Figma file, a documented design system, defined component states, and specs for interactions and breakpoints. Nobody has to ask the designer what a screen is supposed to do.
▸ Startups and founders launching a first real site
You have a product and a rough brand direction, and you need a site that looks like a company people pay. Design and build together means one timeline and one point of contact.
▸ Agencies and studios needing a design partner
You own the client relationship and the strategy, and you need someone who designs well and can also ship it. We work white-label.
▸ Service businesses whose site is the first sales conversation
Law firms, consultancies, medical practices, creative studios. Where trust is decided before anyone picks up the phone, structure and clarity matter more than decoration.
▸ Businesses redesigning a site that looks fine and converts badly
Often the problem is not the visuals. It is the order of information, the clarity of the offer, and what the page asks the visitor to do next.
Frequently asked questions about UI/UX design
Everything clients ask before starting a design project. If yours isn't here, just ask.
What's the difference between UI and UX design?
UX is the structure and logic — how someone moves through your site and whether they find what they came for. UI is the visual layer: typography, colour, spacing, and components. We do both, because splitting them across two vendors is where most projects lose their original intent.
Do you only design, or do you build the site too?
Both. Every project we design, we can also build — in Framer, Webflow, or WordPress. You get one team from wireframe to live site, and nothing is lost in handoff.
Do you deliver the Figma files?
Yes. You own the Figma file with organised components and a documented design system, whether or not we build the site.
Can you work from our existing brand guidelines?
Yes. If you have a brand system, we design within it. If you don't, establishing the visual direction is part of the project.
How long does a UI/UX project take?
A landing page takes around 2 weeks. A full marketing site typically takes 4 to 6 weeks from discovery to design approval, with build running immediately after or alongside.
Can you redesign an existing site without starting over?
Yes. We audit what's working, keep what converts, and rebuild what doesn't. A full redesign is not always the right answer, and we'll say so if it isn't.
Do you design mobile-first?
Yes. Most traffic arrives on mobile, and layouts designed for desktop first tend to lose their structure when they're squeezed down.
Do you work with clients outside Europe?
Yes. We work remotely with clients across the United States, United Kingdom, and Europe, with support hours Monday to Friday, 6 am to 8 pm EST.
What do you need from us to start?
A short brief on what you're building and who it's for, any existing brand assets, and access to analytics if the site already exists. We'll take it from there.
