How we work

Our UX research & testing process

1. Define and plan

We start by understanding exactly what you want to learn. From there, we design a tailored UX research methodology that aligns with your goals and uncovers the insights that matter most.

2. Engage and explore

Using the right mix of methods, from interviews and surveys, to usability testing and heatmaps, we dive into the research, speaking directly to your audience to gather real, meaningful feedback.

Our clients’ words

How we helped our clients de-risk decisions, boost usability, and drive conversions

Ashridge

“Unfold are utterly brilliant! Measured, methodical and professional from start to finish. Their research and planning was thorough and well structured and we knew exactly where we were at any point. Harry and the team got to grips with our business straight away and delivered the user experience that we needed in order to reduce friction and generate the conversion rates required to meet our growth plans. I would have no hesitation at all in recommending them for your next project.”

– James Self, eCommerce Manager at Ashridge
Gapsquare

“Unfold has been a brilliant digital partner to Gapsquare. What particularly stands out is their high level of communication and commitment to providing an excellent UX. They also work in a very lean fashion, which means we can iterate on the platform faster and more effectively.”

– Siân Webb, Group Product Manager at XpertHR
Storebox

“I’ve worked closely with Harry and the team for over 2 years launching a new website and booking application for Storebox. Over the period we collaborated to deliver excellent results through UX, test and learn and implementing new features. Communication from the team was always great and their responses to urgent bugs or issues were always top class. I would recommend Unfold to any startups all the way to smaller enterprise businesses if they were looking to grow their eCommerce business or streamline their operations with new backend consoles and integrations with existing CRM, CMS and other management systems.”

– Ashley Ellis, eCommerce Manager at Storebox
