Highly Intuitive Design Elements Are Integral for Optimal UX

The way your end users interact with our apps and software is an important consideration for our design process. Our team factors in the way digital solutions will be utilized, and then uses this insight to help ensure functionality is optimized.
Figma

Figma

Figma is the design tool our designers use to plan screens, build interactive prototypes, and keep a shared component library. Clients can click through a prototype in the browser and leave comments right on the screen, and developers pull exact sizes, colors, and assets from the same file when it’s time to build.

Claude Design

Claude Design

Claude Design is Anthropic’s AI design tool. You can start from a written description, a document, or a codebase. It produces prototypes, slide decks, and one-pagers that follow your team’s design system. You refine the result by chatting with Claude or editing it directly, so stakeholders can react to early screens before anyone writes code.

Figma Make

Figma Make

Figma Make is Figma’s AI prompt-to-app tool. It turns a written prompt or an existing Figma design into a working, clickable prototype that can follow the styles in your team’s Figma library. Users can click through an interactive version of an idea before anyone commits to building it.

Adobe Creative Cloud

Adobe Creative Cloud

Adobe Creative Cloud is Adobe's set of design apps, including Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. Our designers use it alongside Figma for image editing, illustration, and graphics.

Storybook

Storybook

Storybook is an open-source workshop for building and documenting UI components in isolation. We use it to give designers, developers, and testers one place to review every component and its states, which keeps a design system consistent as an app grows.

Material Design

Material Design

Material Design is Google’s open-source design system, with guidelines and ready-made components for web and mobile. We build on it through Angular Material and MudBlazor when a client wants a polished, accessible interface without designing every component from scratch.

Responsive Designs for Your Apps and Software

We take pride in all facets of development and product build, including the design work done by our talented software engineers and design leads. Our ultimate goal is a responsive design that allows applications to adapt to the capabilities of your end users’ devices. For design and prototyping, we use tools like Claude Design, Figma Make, Figma, Sketch, and Adobe InDesign.  

Always Designed to Help Solve Your Problems

Our design work starts with our initial meetings with you. As we seek to understand your problems and begin brainstorming ideas to help you overcome them, our team forms ideas as to what the solution might look like. Throughout the entire process, we continue to collect information and insight from your team that we then use to incorporate specific elements into our design. Because our goal is to help solve your problems, we undergo rigorous testing throughout the entire process to ensure that both the design and functionality are high quality.

Montage Portal

Montage Furniture Services provides furniture protection plans and claims processing services to a wide selection of furniture retailers and consumers.

Project Background

Montage was looking to build a new web portal for both Retailers and Consumers, which would integrate with Dynamics CRM and other legacy systems. The portal needed to be multi tenant and support branding and configuration for different Retailers. Trailhead architected the new Montage Platform, including the Portal and all of it’s back end integrations, did the UI/UX and then delivered the new system, along with enhancements to DevOps and processes.

They were able to not only significantly improve our web development architecture but our development and deployment processes as well as the functionality and performance of our portals. The feedback from customers has been overwhelmingly positive. Trailhead has proven themselves to be a valuable partner.
