Kickstart your online success with Socialoop

For Socialoop Edinburgh’s digital agency; user experience is more than a capability for us. It’s at the heart of everything we do here at Socialoop. We started out in London as a UI/UX design agency and web design company. As we expanded into the Ivory Coast, we quickly extended our offering to include web applications, enterprise software and emerging technologies such as virtual and augmented reality. The UX UI and web design projects we take on range from the creation of a new product to the redesign of an existing mobile app, website or enterprise software.

Our web development agency in Abidjan has a simple offering; everything you could possibly need to bring a successful digital product to life: user research,
product strategy, user interface, user experience design, usability testing, prototyping, web design and development.

It’s no surprise that our web design clients are often the same companies who have hired us for UI/UX design projects, because who better to explain the product than the people who designed it? We’re a web design agency that believes that a good website should effectively convert visitors into customers while delivering a pleasurable web experience that’s true to the brand. Good UX UI design of a digital product or website leads to higher conversion rates. That’s why, unlike other web design agencies, our UX designers collaborate with web designers on all web design projects. We are the best digital agency in Edinburgh.

We’re often asked this question. There are a lot of digital agencies or freelancers in the United Kingdom alone, and even more worldwide. Our experience in the UK has shown us that the industry is fragmented, with service providers on the one hand having a standard below the minimum required for a functional digital product, and on the other a growing need for digitalization for all companies wishing to have a chance of competing both nationally in the UK and internationally.

So how do we stand out? First and foremost, it’s the quality of our UX UI design work and the artistry it takes to make it happen. The digital products and user interfaces we create are easy to use, look great and represent your brand in the best possible way. Then it’s the people who make your project a reality. We always assign a multidisciplinary team of UX UI designers, developers and other specialists, led by one of our directors and supervised by a co-founder.

Finally, unlike most traditional digital design firms and user experience designers, we combine creative and product design capabilities under one roof and on one project. Imagine a branding firm meets a UI UX design agency: that’s us.

Yes, we can. We’re known the world over for creating marketing websites that meet our customers’ objectives by combining brand storytelling and award-winning web design with the latest and greatest
latest and greatest web technologies. Our sites convert a lot, and people share like crazy, which helps us attract new customers who are already big fans of our work.

This only happens with the Socialoop web agency.

With every new project, we challenge ourselves to try something new, like improving our processes to optimize costs or simply working faster without losing quality.

Our web design company is ideally equipped to provide websites for technology startups, unlike other web design companies that work mainly on designing websites for traditional businesses.

Yes, we do. First and foremost, we are a user experience agency, branding is an integral part of any UX UI design project. We’re positioning ourselves as a new kind of branding agency in the UK focused on companies with digital potential, digital products and direct-to-consumer brands.
Our branding skills include research, branding and digital strategy
digital strategy, logo design, visual identity, graphic design, motion design, graphic charter development and website design, among others.

However, our customers often provide us with a brand strategy or even a complete visual identity package.
In these cases, we use the existing brand base as a starting point, not simply applying it carefully, but extending and enriching it while remaining true to the spirit of the brand.

Our pricing is directly linked to project scope, schedule, deliverables and team composition. Where the scope of the project is not defined, or the project is highly dynamic, we prefer to commit on the basis of the time and materials required to develop your digital project.
However, most of our UX UI engagements are fixed-price contracts. In this case, we’ll make you a detailed
after we’ve learned as much as we can about your project. All estimates
are calculated on the basis of hourly rates and the number of hours we expect the work to take.

As an example, a typical project with a UX design agency might take ten weeks and cost £4000 to £15000. For time and material commitments, we create a customized rate card for you, based on team composition.

Our rates range from £40 /hour for junior designers to £100/hour for our design directors.

We also offer special rates for smaller companies or start-ups whose ambition and potential we see in promoting digitalization in the UK.

As a UX design agency based in Edinbrugh, we work in partnership with startups large and small. What could be better than helping founders bring to life ideas the world has never seen before?

We enjoy a fast-moving environment that challenges our skills and processes. The ultimate achievement for us is to see our start-up customers grow and take on the world. That’s why we launched the Socialite project: to give everyone access to digitalization at a low cost.

Yes, we’re up for the challenge. We’re one of the few user experience companies specializing in enterprise UX design and the digital transformation of existing enterprise software. We’ve perfected our process over the years, positioning us as the leading digital agency in the UK. We start every new enterprise UX project with in-depth discovery and research to fully immerse ourselves in the sector and project specifics.

We are a full-service digital agency and our services range from user research through UX and UI design, prototyping, user testing to complete development and design systems. Our UI UX design company acts as an independent entity that moves quickly, avoiding the bureaucracy of a large organization, and often working hand-in-hand with in-house innovation labs and UX teams.

Our UI/UX design process is based on the “design thinking” methodology, which allows us to be flexible and adapt to almost any type of project and collaboration model. While every
UX UI design is unique, we always go through the following key phases:

Discovery and research

We usually start by consolidating all available project documentation and scheduling UX workshops with your team or in-house in close collaboration with you. During these sessions, we interview key stakeholders, collaborate on requirements, and ideate and plan next steps. Where possible, our
our UX designers interview your current or potential customers to understand their needs and pain points. In some cases, we may need to audit your existing product to identify opportunities for improving the user experience. We’ll also examine competitors’ products, gather visual design references and document best practices.

Digital strategy and concepts

Based on the results of discovery and research, we synthesize a digital strategy and define a UX approach to guide our design process. As we are a UI/UX design agency, we will explore different concepts to establish core elements such as information architecture, key section structures and user interface design direction. We then validate the resulting concept with users and stakeholders. Once we’ve received feedback, we make the necessary modifications to
design the rest of the product.

UI/UX design

Once the UI concept has been approved, we start designing the UI and UX, continually conducting user tests and adapting throughout the process. Key UX UI design activities include wireframe development, user flow, UI design, interaction design and prototyping. We pass on design elements to developers and provide a comprehensive style guide that includes a library of UI components, UI guidelines and complete user flows.

If you’re looking for a UI/UX design agency, make an appointment or contact us with a quick summary of your project or a request for proposal. We usually respond within 24 hours to schedule an introductory call and ask any immediate questions. During our first call, we’ll ask you lots of questions about the project’s objectives, target audience, budget, duration and other essential details. We can sign a confidentiality agreement if necessary, but we always treat all conversations with our customers as
confidential. We recommend that you contact several user experience design companies to compare their prices and UX UI approach.

While many UI & UX design agencies work on an hourly basis, we try to estimate the cost of the project as accurately as possible before we start. After the call, we may request various documents, such as specifications, project requirements, previous designs and so on.
If we’re designing an existing digital product, we’ll want to program a demo or try it out ourselves.

We’ll send you a proposal by e-mail, and we can schedule a video call to explain it step by step. The UX design agency’s proposal will include a detailed description of our UX UI approach,
production phases, project activities and deliverables, design team composition and relevant case studies.
