Web design agency in Manchester

Bruno designs interfaces that read quickly and builds them itself, so there’s no gap between the mock-up and the live site. UI/UX designers and developers are all on staff, never freelancers, and you deal with them directly. For a Manchester business, the London team is two hours away by train. The prototype is one click away.

Yes. Bruno’s team comes up to Manchester for the moments that matter, or welcomes you in London, as the agency has no office in the city. The project kick-off and the design presentation both lend themselves to a face-to-face meeting. In between, work carries on over video with the designers and developers named on your site.

Strictly speaking, web design stops at the interface and user journeys, but Bruno runs both within the same team. UX/UI design produces the sitemap, the designs and the prototype, then web development builds the site, often in Framer. You only have one schedule to keep track of.

Bruno designed the website for Elevo, a talent management platform, alongside a new strategic, visual and verbal identity. On Kotcha, an app where the community guides runners, Bruno designed everything from strategy to screens. One had to reassure HR teams, the other had to make people want to run. Not the same screens at all.

Bruno usually advises against it, because a symbol that belongs to the whole city doesn’t set any one business apart. The bee stands for Mancunian hard work and solidarity, and it’s already everywhere. Better to find a motif of your own, then use it as consistently as the city uses its bee. A nod on your About page is still allowed.

UX organises the visitor’s path, UI designs what they see along the way, and Bruno works on both together. As we see it, UI rests the eyes and UX rests the brain. Each one falls flat without the other: a beautiful page where people get lost, or a crystal-clear journey nobody notices. Brought together from the first sketch, they keep each other honest.

Allow two to four months on average, from first sketch to live site, when Bruno designs and builds. Your starting point changes a lot: with clear guidelines and ready copy, design moves fast; if the sitemap needs rethinking first, add a few weeks. Presentation dates, in Manchester or London, are set at the outset.
