We are lucky to have our very own in-house CX evangelist in Simon. He is a firm believer in getting the finer details right.
Whether that's the language used on a platform, a pre-determined preference in a CRM, or the ease at which a customer can get in touch — it all matters.
Every few weeks, we get together to reflect on the month gone.
November was a trifecta of long-standing clients, new clients and new projects.
We've also been taking some time to focus on '25, which will see some exciting developments from the studio.
But first... December. 🌲
📣 "Their quality of work, reason for existing and value they provide is second to none. Their dedication to creating a culture of care and mutual respect extends to their team and clients."
Thank you again to the Wow team, and all the agencies and individuals who took part. 👏
"If you can fix those problems, it's like a rising tide. You start improving everything along with that – making sure the plans are right for the foundations and then building everything else on top."
Wise words from Will – our full-time Head of UX and part-time quote machine.
Great to see @yeovalley in, well, Yeo Valley.
We headed west for a strategic workshop focused on planning what’s ahead and deepening our understanding of their vision.
Mel, Tom, Pete and Harry also found time to stop off at The Moo Inn for a few pints.
Of milk, of course. 🥛
We love working with startups. They bring a great sense of opportunity.

Can AI replace QA? That's a hard "no" from Thari, our Lead QA Engineer.

Have you seen our "How to Build a Digital Product" video series?
We've recorded eight episodes (and counting).
If you're looking to take a new digital product to market and are unsure how this series is for you.

Let's cut to the chase. Can artificial intelligence completely replace quality assurance in software engineering?
In our latest SLICE, we asked Thari "Are QA engineers safe?

Do not be alarmed by this gentle giant, for he is Steve, QA-turned-Software Engineer.
Steve recently joined Thari in our SLICE mini-series and answered, “How would you describe QA to your 97-year-old grandma?”

We sat with Laurent to discuss our process with startups and entrepreneurs.
Specifically, how we help to create something tangible in the early stages.
🧔🏻 "Is the digital product correct? Is the market right? Is the business plan valid?"

QA is an iceberg. Above the surface, we ask, "Does it work as it should?"
But there's much more to it: Stress testing, auditing, compliance, code health, accessibility...
It can get complicated quickly. Thankfully, we have Steve on hand to put it into simpler terms.
Our digital product framework is the process we use to build products.
Core to the framework are activities:
💎 UX Audits
💎 Prototyping
💎 Story Mapping
💎 User Testing
Laurent explains how you can choose, resource and budget for these activities.

❓ How do you build digital products?
❓ Am I the right kind of client for you?
❓ What if I have specific needs?
In our recent "How we work with clients" video, Laurent explains three ways that we help our customers bring their digital products to life.

Our UX Designer, Stephen, isn't alone in his view that companies on a quest for "perfection" are causing more frustration than delight.
Ever wished you could roll back to a previous version of an app?
This one goes out to you.
