UI design for digital interfaces
Clear, accessible interfaces designed for your users. Exolnet supports you from mockups through development, with a design system that keeps your product consistent.
UI design: clear interfaces that reflect your brand
At Exolnet, our designers create custom interfaces by taking the time to understand your business and the people who will use your application. Button placement, form layout and colour choices all serve practical needs: finding information, knowing what to do and completing tasks easily. We bring your visual identity into an interface that is as enjoyable to use as it is to look at.
Based in Montreal, our team works directly with you, from the first mockups through development. The people who design your screens discuss their choices with you and make adjustments based on your feedback. Our experience with organizations such as Desjardins and Ubisoft helps us account for the realities of your project and create an interface that reflects your business and supports your users in their daily work.
What is UI design?
UI design, or user interface design, covers everything a person sees and interacts with on screen, including colours, typography, buttons, forms and interactive components. While UX design defines how the product works and its user journeys, UI design makes each screen readable, consistent and appealing. The two disciplines work together to deliver a finished product.
What a UI design project includes
A project covers the full visual design process, from the first screens through development support. Our services include:
digital art direction, for a visual style aligned with your brand
visual mockups, with responsive designs for every device
design system, with reusable components, documentation and governance
UI library bringing together buttons, forms, tables, cards and navigation
digital accessibility covering contrast, readability, keyboard navigation and WCAG standards
development support, with detailed specifications and ongoing collaboration
Do you have an outdated or inconsistent interface to modernize?
Why a design system makes all the difference
A design system gives your entire product a consistent structure and avoids rebuilding each screen from scratch. Its impact can be measured in consistency, costs and delivery speed.
Without a design system | With a design system |
|---|---|
Inconsistent screens across sections | A consistent experience across the platform |
Components recreated for each project | Reusable, documented components |
High maintenance costs | Faster, more affordable updates |
Difficult collaboration between teams | Designers and developers aligned |
Accessibility handled case by case | Best practices built in by default |
Interfaces that work on every device
Your users access your platforms on phones, tablets and computers. Responsive design provides an optimal experience at any screen size and reduces drop-offs caused by frustrating mobile navigation.
Accessibility is part of the same commitment to quality. By following the WCAG guidelines, we make your interfaces usable by as many people as possible, helping you reach a wider audience and build credibility.
“Working with the Exolnet team was an excellent experience. They helped us develop OSHEAGA Play, a gamification app used during several editions of the festival. Thank you again for your outstanding work!”
Interface design that makes every interaction easier
At Exolnet, we design custom interfaces around five principles: highlighting what matters, providing consistent visual cues, anticipating everyday situations, ensuring readability on every device and validating our choices with real users. From button placement to error messages, we pay attention to every detail to make your application intuitive and enjoyable to use. Our prototypes let us test user journeys and refine the design before development. The result is an interface tailored to your processes that simplifies tasks and makes your application easier to adopt.
Let our team design your interface
Strong UI design creates a consistent experience, speeds up development through clear standards and reduces the cost of evolving your product. It is part of our complete range of digital product design services, with projects such as the dashboard for Lion Electric and Ubisoft's Rabbids experience, where visual design always supports usability.
FAQ
Why does UI design need a design system?
A design system gives UI design a solid foundation by standardizing a platform's components, colours and design rules. It ensures a consistent experience from screen to screen and makes the product easier to evolve. Teams save time by reusing documented elements instead of recreating everything. The result is a more stable interface that can be updated faster and at a lower cost.
How does UI design speed up development?
By defining reusable components and clear standards, UI design reduces the time needed to design and code each new screen. Developers have detailed specifications and no longer need to reinvent visual elements from one project to the next. Collaboration between designers and developers becomes smoother, screens are more consistent and delivery is faster.
How much does a UI design project cost?
UI design generally accounts for 10% to 15% of a project that also includes UX design, with costs most often ranging from $25,000 to $50,000, depending on the size of the application, the number of screens and the complexity of the features to be designed. Since every project is unique, reviewing your specific needs is the best way to get an accurate estimate.
