UI/UX Design Agency Ireland

Good design is not decoration — it's the structure that makes a product work. We design web interfaces and mobile apps for Irish businesses, from initial wireframes to production-ready Figma files your developers can build from directly.

As a UI/UX design agency in Ireland, our approach starts with structure before aesthetics. User flows, information architecture, and navigation — agreed before a colour is chosen. Because we also handle development, we design with implementation in mind: every component, state, and interaction in our Figma files is buildable in real code. What we design, we can build.

What You Get

UX First, Visuals Second
We wireframe before we design. User flows, information architecture, and navigation structure are agreed before a single colour or typeface is chosen. Visual design built on a solid UX foundation lasts — the other way around rarely does.
Designed for Web and Mobile
We design across platforms — websites, web applications, iOS apps, Android apps — with each platform's conventions respected. A website and an iOS app should feel native to their environment, not like the same template resized to fit.
Built to Be Built
We design with implementation in mind. Every component, state, and interaction in our Figma files is achievable in real code. No layouts that require impossible CSS, no animations that will be cut in development because nobody knows how to build them.
Iterative Process
We work in review cycles — wireframe review, design review, final review — so you see and approve work at every stage. No big reveal at the end where you discover it's not what you imagined.
Production-Ready Figma Files
Organised components, named layers, documented states, responsive frames, and developer annotations — files your development team can open and immediately understand. Not a visual mockup that requires translation.
Design + Development Under One Roof
When the same team designs and builds your product, the gap between design and implementation disappears. No handover friction, no features that get simplified in development, no design that gets lost in translation.

Who It's For

Web Design for Irish Businesses
Business websites, landing pages, web applications — if your current site looks dated, converts poorly, or doesn't represent your business well, we redesign with UX and conversion in mind from the start.
Mobile App UI/UX
iOS and Android app design — from initial wireframes to polished Figma files following Apple's Human Interface Guidelines and Material Design. We know mobile UX patterns because we build and ship mobile apps ourselves.
Startups Validating a Product
You need a high-fidelity prototype or MVP design before committing to full development. We design fast and focused — just enough to test with real users and make confident build decisions.
Products With UX Problems
Good traffic but poor conversion. High churn after onboarding. Users who can't find key features. We audit the current UX, identify what's causing drop-off, and redesign with those specific problems as the brief.
Businesses Without an In-House Designer
You need design work done properly but don't have a designer on the team. We act as your design partner — available for ongoing work, new features, or a full product redesign without the overhead of a full-time hire.
Development Teams Needing Design
Your team can build anything — but needs professional UX and UI design to work from. We deliver production-ready Figma files your developers can implement directly, with component documentation and developer handover notes.

How We Work

1
Discovery
We understand your users, business goals, and current pain points. For redesign projects, we review analytics, heatmaps, and user feedback if available. For new products, we map the user journey and define success before touching any design tool.
2
Wireframes
Low-fidelity wireframes for every key screen or page. Structure, hierarchy, and user flow — agreed before any visual design begins. This is where UX decisions are made and it's much faster to change a wireframe than a finished design.
3
Visual Design
Full UI design in Figma — colours, typography, imagery, iconography, and component design. We start with the most important screen, agree on direction, then complete the full design system and remaining screens.
4
Prototyping
Interactive Figma prototype linking all screens — so you can click through the full user journey and experience it as a user would before any development begins. Shareable link for stakeholder review.
5
Design System & Handover
Components organised into a design system — buttons, forms, cards, navigation, typography scale. Developer annotations added. Responsive frames for all breakpoints. File handed over ready to build from.
6
Design Support During Development
We stay available during development to answer questions, clarify design decisions, and handle edge cases that weren't anticipated in the design phase. Design doesn't end at handover.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do web design services cost in Ireland?
Web design services in Ireland typically range from €1,000–2,500 for a focused design-only engagement (wireframes + visual design, no development) for a small business website. Mobile app UI/UX design for a 10–15 screen app runs €2,500–5,000 design-only. When design and development are combined in one project, the design cost is usually bundled into the total. We provide a clear breakdown in every quote.
What is the difference between UI and UX design?
UX (user experience) design is about how a product works — the structure, flows, and interactions that determine whether users can accomplish their goals. UI (user interface) design is about how it looks — the visual layer of colours, typography, and components built on top of the UX foundation. Good products need both. We handle both, in the right order: UX foundations first, visual design second.
Do you design both websites and mobile apps?
Yes. We design web interfaces (websites, web applications, landing pages) and mobile apps (iOS and Android) — often for the same client when they need both. Web and mobile design follow different platform conventions and we apply each appropriately rather than resizing the same layouts across platforms.
How do I hire a UI designer in Ireland?
The most useful thing to evaluate is live work — products you can actually use, not just static portfolio screenshots. Ask whether the designer also understands development, because design decisions made without implementation knowledge regularly create problems in the build phase. At YAM, our designers and developers are the same person — the design is created with build feasibility in mind from the start.
How long does a web design project take?
Design-only for a standard business website (wireframes + visual design for 8–12 pages) typically takes 2–4 weeks. Mobile app UI/UX design for a focused app takes 3–5 weeks. Larger products with complex user flows or many screen types take longer. Timeline depends heavily on how quickly feedback is provided at each review stage.
What do I get at the end of a design project?
A fully organised Figma file containing: wireframes, final visual designs for all screens and states, a component library, responsive breakpoints, and developer annotations. An interactive prototype is included as standard. You own the files and can share them with any development team.
What makes the best mobile app UI design?
Three things consistently separate good mobile UI from average: platform conventions are respected (iOS and Android have distinct patterns that users expect), the design scales correctly across device sizes without breaking, and every interactive element has clear visual feedback. Beyond that, good mobile UI design is invisible — users don't notice it because it just works the way they expected.
