Web Design

Web design that puts users first and never loses sight of the brand.

We design accessible, user-focused websites for charities, cultural organisations, healthcare providers and public bodies across the UK. Our background is in brand and design as much as digital, so we bring a genuinely design-led approach to every web project, combining research, UX, creative design and development without compromising functionality or accessibility.

We understand how to translate a brand into a digital environment, how to work with existing guidelines and how to push the creative possibilities of a brief without ever compromising functionality, accessibility or user experience.

01 Our Approach

Good design starts with good understanding

We work to the principle that what goes in affects what comes out. Before we design anything, we invest time in understanding your audiences, your goals and the problems your current site isn’t solving. That understanding shapes every decision that follows.

Our process is built around discovery. Depending on the scope of your project, that might involve a full UX research phase with audience profiling, user journey mapping, analytics review, Hotjar studies, empathy mapping and stakeholder workshops. Or a more focused scoping exercise for smaller projects. What it never involves is skipping straight to how things look before we understand what they need to do.

Our involvement doesn’t have to end at launch. We provide hosting, maintenance and ongoing development, giving clients a long-term digital partner as their organisation and website evolve.

02 Our Approach

With you every step of the process

Once we understand the problem, we move into information architecture and site mapping, working through how content should be organised before any page is designed. From there we build unbranded wireframes, focusing purely on structure and user flow, followed by interactive Figma prototypes that let you click through real user journeys before a single visual design decision is made.

Every stage comes with structured feedback and a clear sign-off point, so nothing moves forward on an assumption. You’ll always know what you’re approving and why, and we’ll never be designing pages you haven’t already agreed the structure for.

The Out of Place Studio team were excellent to work with, going above and beyond to make sure our website really reflects our work and communicates the impact we want to achieve. They really took time to get to know us and paid attention to lots of little details along the way. We highly recommend them!

Smoothest website launch I’ve ever had the pleasure of managing. These guys know how to do it right! The team worked seamlessly with us to provide a new website, in a quick timeframe, that looks great and works fantastically.
