Pharos Production collaborated with a taxi aggregator platform to develop a high-load ride-hailing application that connects passengers and drivers in real time. This platform consolidates various fleets and independent drivers into a single system, ensuring quick ride matching, live tracking and transparent pricing. Built on a cloud-native infrastructure, the solution offers low-latency interactions, reliable trip processing and scalability for operations at the city and regional levels.
Pharos developed a B2B platform that brings keyword research and search visibility analysis together with search data APIs, public-web collection and access through AI assistants. Our responsibility covered the full product.
Pharos Production has partnered with Sagas to create a location-aware social platform that enables users to capture, publish and explore geo-located timelapses over time. This system combines real-time data ingestion, large-scale media processing and map-centric discovery to transform physical locations into dynamic digital stories. Leveraging cloud-native infrastructure and event-driven architecture, Sagas allows users to document urban changes, natural evolution and personal moments tied to specific places. The result is a scalable social network where time and location are central to content discovery.

| Factor | Design-only agency (Figma handoff) | Pharos design plus build |
|---|---|---|
| Handoff | Figma files handed to a separate dev team | Same team designs and implements |
| Fidelity in production | Drift between design and shipped UI | Pixel-accurate, design system enforced in code |
| Engineering constraints | Often ignored until build | Designed in from the start (performance, API, platform) |
| Accessibility | Frequently a later audit | WCAG 2.2 AA designed and built in |
| When to buy | You have a strong in-house engineering team | You want design and a shipped product from one team |
Pharos Verified Delivery applied to design: every screen ties to a validated flow, a real component in the design system and the engineering constraints it ships under. Designs are tested with users before build and implemented by the same team that drew them.

If the core problem is not validated, polishing the interface is premature. We tell clients to skip a design engagement when:
Before a full UX/UI engagement, run a short usability review of the current product or a few user interviews. If the data shows the problem is comprehension and flow rather than visuals, fix the structure first. A beautiful UI on a broken flow is a polished product nobody can use.
Three shifts are reshaping product design.
Teams increasingly buy a component library and tokens rather than one-off screens, because the system is what keeps a product consistent and fast to extend as it grows.
WCAG 2.2 AA is becoming a procurement and legal baseline rather than a nice-to-have, so contrast, focus and screen-reader support are designed in from the first screen.
The handoff between a design agency and a separate dev shop is the main source of drift and rework. Buyers favour teams that design and build together so the shipped product matches the design.

UX/UI design cost in 2026 covering pricing by deliverable, engagement model, the UX versus UI split and how to reduce design cost without cutting quality.
The European Accessibility Act never names WCAG or EN 301 549. This piece sorts a software company into the role that actually carries liability, and states plainly why the standard everyone cites carries no legal presumption here.
Before any model wrote an answer, our own mockups had invented citations. We redesigned an aesthetic-medicine learning platform so that every claim cites a printed page and every gap in its knowledge becomes a designed screen.

UX/UI design services cover UX research and discovery, information architecture, user flows and wireframes, high-fidelity UI design, design systems, prototyping and usability testing. At Pharos Production we also implement the design in front-end and mobile code, so UX/UI design and engineering ship together rather than as a handoff.
UX/UI design cost depends on scope and the number of flows and screens. A focused UX audit of an existing product is the typical entry point, a full product design engagement runs higher and ongoing design-system work is usually a retainer. We provide a fixed-price scope before any work begins, and design paired with build often costs less overall than a separate design agency plus a separate dev shop.
UX design is how a product works: research, information architecture and flows that make it useful and easy to use. UI design is how it looks and responds: the visual interface, components, typography and interaction states. Both are needed, and Pharos delivers them together, anchored by a design system.
Yes. We design web applications, mobile apps for iOS and Android and cross-platform products.
Because our designers work alongside front-end and mobile engineers, the design respects platform conventions, performance budgets and the underlying API rather than ignoring them.
We do both, and the design plus build model is our differentiator. The same team that designs your product implements it in React, Next.js, React Native or Flutter, pixel-accurate and accessible.
There is no lossy handoff between a design agency and a separate development team.
Yes. We build reusable component libraries, design tokens and documentation, and keep them in sync with the front-end code. A design system keeps the interface consistent as the product grows and speeds up every later screen and feature.
We design in Figma and validate with clickable prototypes and usability testing. Design systems are implemented as code component libraries (for example React with Storybook), so the design source of truth and the shipped product stay aligned.
Yes. We design to WCAG 2.2 AA: color contrast, focus order, keyboard navigation and screen-reader support are part of the design and the build, not a later audit. Accessible products are easier to use for everyone and reduce legal and compliance risk.
UX and UI are two jobs, and a product needs both, tied together by a design system. The Pharos approach validates flows before pixels, designs accessibility in and has the same team build the result, so design value survives contact with production.
