We believe design has the power to transform.
By taking a human-centred approach to our work, we craft elegant solutions that solve real problems for your business.
Our Work
Do you have a website or app which needs designing, testing or optimising? Or perhaps you need help exploring and validating a new product idea? We provide answers to those questions for clients of all sizes.
Services
With decades of design experience in both the corporate and startup space, Kickstand have the toolkit of services that can help you get the best out of your product or service.
customer research
Knowing what your customers want is the starting point for a great solution. We take a “just enough” approach to research in order to learn quickly and inform product design improvements.
User Experience
User Experience or “UX” refers to the creation of something that does what it needs to elegantly. Crafting an experience that truly meets the purpose it is serving, and the audience.
visual design
In order for people to engage with your product or service, it needs to be visually enticing. Interface design, data visualisation and branding all contribute to the impression you leave.
Prototyping
Before you jump head first into development why not test your idea first with a prototype? Save time, by validating product ideas before moving into a potentially costly build.
Usability Testing
How are your customers using your product? Do you know their pain points or the things they enjoy? Usability testing can uncover the answer to these questions and more.
Copywriting
Language is important, your customers need to understand the value your product offers. Kickstand can help craft your written message along with your visual and functional respresentation.
“The solutions provided by Kickstand have been invaluable in transforming Solar Analytics into an international brand that continues to grow.”
