User experience consulting that shapes business outcomes

We're a UX consultant company that cares about one thing above all: whether people can actually use what you built. Complex products are our usual territory, and we turn them into interfaces people get quickly, trust without second-guessing, and come back to every day.

We'd rather let the work speak. As a UX consulting company we design for measurable outcomes first, and along the way that work has picked up Red Dot, Webby and A' Design awards.
For Whom

When our UX design consultants are the best fit

/01

Users struggle to navigate

Your SaaS, mobile app or enterprise platform has no bugs to speak of, and yet sign-ups don't turn into active users. Nine times out of ten the culprit is a design that got old or crowded over the years. That's usually when UX consulting services pay off fastest. We find the handful of things that trip people up, fix just those, and leave the rest of your product alone.
/02

Redesign without breaking what already works

Maybe your product is stable, people pay for it, it does its job. You'd like to modernize parts of it, but you worry that touching one screen will knock over three others. So the job here isn't change for its own sake. It's working out, carefully, which parts really need refining.
/03
‍

UX that aligns with business goals and KPIs

For you, new screens aren't the point. The point is that a visitor who lands on pricing actually reaches the checkout, and that this shows up in next month's report. Smart UX consulting services do exactly that, guiding users through the funnel toward the KPIs your team signed up for.

Our UX consulting services

UX strategy

Some clients come to us with a blank Figma file, others with software that launched and then disappointed. Either way, our UX consulting kicks off with one question: where should this product be a year from now? The answer turns into a plan your team can actually work from, and nothing goes on it unless it helps both the business and the people using the product.

User research

Ever watched a stranger try to use your product? It's humbling. We run those sessions, mark every pause and every give-up moment, then call people back to ask what they were thinking. Their answers tell us how to make the flow simpler, and honestly they're rarely what the team guessed.

UX audit

Picture a new customer opening your product for the first time, clicking from the landing page all the way down to the last settings tab. Our experts do exactly that, only with a notebook, writing down every flow, visual, emotional cue or usability issue that isn't pulling its weight. What comes back is a fix-by-fix plan for your product, and you won't find it copy-pasted on some blog.

UX optimization

The first version after launch is never the final one. Once real traffic arrives we watch activation, feature adoption and retention, A/B test the screens that matter most, and adjust the interface a bit every month, so the product gets easier to use over time instead of slowly going stale.

Strategic redesign

Your product is live, customers use it, but you can feel it’s holding you back, and a couple of tweaks won’t fix that. Starting over from zero isn’t great either, because you’d risk the users you already have. So we look at where people actually drop off and what makes them hesitate, rework the structure and the screens that cause it, and try every change on a prototype with real users before your team ships it.

why us

Why choose Linkup ST?

For over a decade, companies have trusted us as their UX consulting partner, and most of them come back for the next growth stage.
/01

Outcomes you can measure

Our user experience consulting always starts with the numbers: conversion, retention, time to value. Better-looking screens happen along the way, but a design choice that doesn’t move a metric gets cut, however pretty it is.
/02

Design people get instantly

Users decide in the first few seconds whether a product was made by people who get them. We design for that moment using behavioral research on how people notice, decide and act, plus plain words and familiar patterns. Less thinking for users means fewer drop-offs for you.
/03

Built for how people actually scan

Nobody reads a screen top to bottom, not even you. Eyes jump to a couple of things, skip the rest and group whatever looks alike. So in a UX consultation we spend a surprising amount of time on headings, spacing and small visual cues. That’s what gets people to the right button without hunting for it.
/04

Keep users oriented without effort

A good interface works like GPS on a messy route: it always shows where you are and where the next turn is, and you barely notice it. At any moment, users should know where they are, what they can do next and how to go back. Clear next steps get them to their goal, and get you the conversion.
/05

Evidence over opinions

Opinions in a meeting room are cheap. What’s not cheap: a recording of someone hovering over a button for ten seconds, scrolling past the thing they wanted, or bouncing right after the pricing table. That’s what we base layout, content and features on. Guesses don’t get a vote.
/06

We stay after launch

Launch day is when the real data starts coming in. We keep watching how people use what we built, test what’s underperforming and ship improvements, so the design keeps paying off instead of slowly going stale.
User Experience at Linkup ST

The core of our approach

PART 01

Find what’s costing you users

Every UX consultation starts with your business goal. We audit your product against that goal: analytics, session recordings, user flows and heuristics. You get a clear picture of where users drop off, why it happens, and what each problem costs you.

PART 02

A roadmap your team can ship

A list of 80 issues helps nobody. We rank every finding by impact and effort, so your team knows what to fix this sprint and what can wait. Each recommendation comes with a clear rationale and a mockup where needed, so your designers and developers can act on it without a follow-up call.

Our Process

From insight to impact

Our one hard rule: your developers never get a fix real users haven't poked at first. It all begins with a call where we settle your goals and pick the metric that matters most. Then come your analytics and session recordings, the audit, and conversations with users, and everything we learn goes onto one journey map.

Common questions & answers

Ask a question
Ask a question

How is UX consulting different from a UX audit?

An audit hands you a list of what’s wrong today. UX consulting stays with you until it’s fixed: we find out why users struggle, decide with you what to tackle first, prototype it, test it, and check the numbers once it’s live.

What do we need to have ready before we start?

Access to whatever analytics you use, whether that’s GA4, Mixpanel or Hotjar, plus one person on your side who can make product decisions. A few customers willing to talk to us helps a lot. No tracking set up yet? That’s fine, we start with UX research consulting, meaning interviews and usability tests, and add tracking as we go.

How do you know it worked?

Before anything changes we pick one or two metrics with you, say activation rate or checkout completion, and record where they stand. After the fixes ship we compare against that starting point, so the result of our UI/UX consulting services is a number you can show your board, not our opinion.

How long does a UX consulting engagement take?

Two to four weeks for a focused audit with recommendations. Four to twelve if research and testing are included. Ongoing optimization just runs month to month for as long as it pays off.

Can you implement the changes too?

Yes. We can pass everything to your in-house team or do the redesign ourselves. Quite a few clients come for UX consulting services and end up staying for design and development.
