Service Overview
Product Design Solutions for Edmonton Businesses
Codazz is a UI/UX design company headquartered in downtown Edmonton, and Edmonton is where we do our most hands-on design work. We design mobile apps, web platforms and SaaS products for Alberta founders, operators and public-facing teams, working on Mountain Time so research sessions, design reviews and sign-offs happen inside your working day. Founder Raman Makkar joins discovery workshops in person. Our product design practice covers UX research and usability testing with real Alberta users, information architecture, Figma wireframes and clickable prototypes, visual UI design, and reusable design systems your engineers can build from. Accessibility is part of the brief from day one: we design and audit against WCAG 2.2 AA and the accessibility expectations in Alberta Government service design guidance, so contrast, focus order, touch targets and screen-reader labels are settled before a line of code is written. We also design for the conditions Alberta products really run in, from offline-first field apps used by energy and trades crews to dense SaaS dashboards and consent flows written for Alberta's Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA). Because Codazz also builds what we design, every file is handed off to engineers who know it.

Choose your Edmonton UI/UX design engagement
Codazz is headquartered in downtown Edmonton. Discovery workshops run on Mountain Time with founder Raman Makkar in the room when you need face-to-face alignment. Research uses real Alberta users; accessibility is reviewed against WCAG 2.2 AA and Alberta Government service design expectations from the first wireframe. Pick the starting point that matches where your product is today — audit, prototype validation, or redesign with a design system your engineers can build from.
Audit an existing product
Starting situation: Best when a live app or website already has users but feedback, analytics or accessibility checks (WCAG 2.2 AA) show friction you need to prioritise before changing code.
Inputs needed: Access to the product or staging, your priority user journeys, analytics or support themes if available, and platforms in scope (web, iOS, Android).
Deliverables: A UX audit with annotated findings on agreed journeys, severity ratings, a prioritised fix backlog and WCAG 2.2 AA notes — the same structured output described on our UX audit service.
Next decision: Decide whether to implement fixes with your team, engage Codazz for targeted redesign work, or expand into a full product redesign.
Starting situation: Best when you have a new idea or early product and need evidence from Alberta users and investors before committing to a full build — typical for Edmonton startups and new SaaS flows.
Inputs needed: Discovery workshop goals (in person at our downtown Edmonton office, at your site, or remote with founder Raman Makkar), target users, constraints and what success looks like on Mountain Time.
Deliverables: User flows, low-fidelity Figma wireframes, clickable prototypes of core journeys, and findings from moderated usability testing with Alberta participants.
Next decision: Choose whether to move into high-fidelity UI and a design system, iterate the prototype, or hand off to Codazz or your engineers for build.
Starting situation: Best when the product works but screens are inconsistent, new features are slow to ship, or audit findings call for broader UI change — including offline-first field apps and dense SaaS dashboards used in Alberta.
Inputs needed: Current product access, brand and content direction, engineering stack (React, React Native, Flutter, Swift or Kotlin), and any existing research or analytics.
Deliverables: High-fidelity UI, interaction states, a reusable Figma design system (tokens, components, usage notes), WCAG 2.2 AA annotations and a design-to-development handoff with our engineers.
Next decision: Agree a phased rollout (one journey at a time) versus a wider release, and whether Codazz builds the redesign or your team implements from Figma.

What We Build
Product Design Services We Offer in Edmonton
Our Edmonton UI/UX services follow a product from first question to shipped screen. UX research covers stakeholder interviews, user interviews, task analysis and moderated usability testing with Alberta participants, so decisions rest on what your users actually do. UX design turns that into user flows, sitemaps and low-fidelity Figma wireframes we can test early and cheaply. UI design produces high-fidelity screens, interaction states and clickable Figma prototypes for iOS, Android and the web. Design systems give your product a shared library of tokens, components and usage notes, so new features stay consistent as the team grows. Accessibility audits review existing apps and websites against WCAG 2.2 AA and return a prioritised list of fixes. We also run UX redesigns of existing products, offline-first interface design for field crews, SaaS dashboard and data-visualisation design, and PIPA-aware consent and privacy UX.

Industry Expertise
Product Design for Edmonton's Key Industries
Edmonton's product design needs come from the industries that run Alberta. Energy and trades teams need field apps that crews can use on a job site with patchy coverage, so we design offline-first inspection, work-order and safety check-in flows where every screen makes its sync status obvious. SaaS companies need dashboards, onboarding and settings that stay usable as features pile up, which is where a design system pays for itself. Public-sector-adjacent and regulated services need accessible, plain-language forms that meet WCAG 2.2 AA and fit Alberta Government service design expectations. Healthcare and financial products need clear consent, identity and privacy screens that respect Alberta PIPA and earn user trust. Startups need a tested prototype they can put in front of users and investors before committing to a full build. Across all of these, our designs are shaped by research with Alberta users rather than assumptions made from another market.
Every Edmonton design engagement starts with discovery. We run a workshop at our downtown Edmonton office, at your site, or remotely, with founder Raman Makkar in the room, to agree on goals, users, constraints and what success looks like. Next comes research: interviews and usability sessions with Alberta users, plus a review of your current product and analytics if you have them. We then move from flows and wireframes to tested prototypes, and only polish visual design once the structure works for users. Each stage ends with a review on Mountain Time so feedback lands the same day. Accessibility checks against WCAG 2.2 AA run during design, not after. The engagement closes with a structured design-to-development handoff: annotated Figma files, a component library, interaction notes and a walkthrough with the engineers who will build it, whether that is your team or Codazz.

Technology
Technologies We Use for Product Design
Figma is our core design tool. We build wireframes, high-fidelity UI and interactive prototypes there, organise work into shared libraries, and structure components with variants and auto layout so they map cleanly to code. Design systems are documented with design tokens for colour, type, spacing and states, which our engineers translate into React, React Native, Flutter, Swift or Kotlin components. Accessibility is checked with contrast tools, keyboard and focus-order reviews, and screen-reader testing against WCAG 2.2 AA. For offline-first field apps we design explicit sync, queued and conflict states, large touch targets for gloved hands, and high-contrast layouts that stay readable outdoors. For SaaS dashboards we design tables, filters, charts and empty states around real data, not placeholder numbers. Consent screens and privacy settings are written in plain language and mapped to the PIPA purposes your product actually needs.

We scope each UI/UX project rather than quoting a flat price, because cost depends on what the product needs. The main drivers are the number of screens and user flows, whether you need user research and usability testing, how many platforms you are designing for (iOS, Android, web), whether you need a reusable design system or just a set of screens, accessibility audit requirements, and whether it is a new product or a redesign of an existing one. A focused prototype for one core flow costs far less than a full product design with research and a design system. Book a free consultation and we will give you a written scope and estimate in CAD.
How long does a UX design project take?
It depends on scope. A discovery workshop and research round can happen in the first couple of weeks, a tested prototype of one or two core flows usually follows soon after, and a full product design with a design system takes longer because every screen, state and component has to be designed and reviewed. Redesigns can move faster when analytics and user feedback already point to the problems. We agree on milestones up front and review progress with you on Mountain Time at each stage, so you always know what is done and what is next.
Do you redesign existing apps and websites?
Yes. Many Edmonton projects start with a product that already works but is hard to use, looks dated or fails accessibility checks. We begin with a UX audit: a review of your current flows, analytics where available, a WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility check and usability sessions with your users. From there we prioritise the changes that remove the most friction, redesign them in Figma, test the new flows and hand them off for development. We can redesign one flow at a time or the whole product, and we can build the redesign too.
Do you do user research with Alberta users?
Yes. Research is the part of UX work that most benefits from being local. We run user interviews and moderated usability tests with people who match your real audience in Edmonton and across Alberta, in person or remotely. For field apps we prefer to watch crews use the product where they work, because lighting, gloves, noise and patchy coverage change what a good interface looks like. Findings are summarised into clear, prioritised recommendations that feed straight into the design.
What do I get at the end of a UI/UX design project?
You own all the design files. A typical handoff includes organised Figma files with every screen and state, a clickable prototype of the key flows, a design system or component library with tokens and usage notes, accessibility annotations against WCAG 2.2 AA, research findings where research was in scope, and a walkthrough with your developers. Exact deliverables are listed in your scope, so you know before we start what will be handed over.
Can Codazz also build the design?
Yes. Codazz is a full product team, so the same company that designs your product can build it. Our engineers handle mobile app development for iOS and Android and web development for websites, web apps and SaaS platforms. Because design and development sit together, handoff is a working session rather than a file transfer, and design decisions are checked for build feasibility early. If you already have a development team, we hand off clean, annotated Figma files they can build from.
Can you design apps for field crews who work offline?
Yes. Energy and trades crews in Alberta often work where coverage is weak or missing, so we design offline-first interfaces: clear indicators for saved, queued and synced data, simple ways to resolve conflicts, large touch targets that work with gloves, and high-contrast layouts that stay readable outdoors. We test these designs with the people who will use them, and our engineers can build the offline sync behind them.
How do you handle accessibility and Alberta PIPA in design?
Accessibility is designed in, not bolted on. We design and review against WCAG 2.2 AA, covering colour contrast, focus order, keyboard use, touch-target size, text alternatives and screen-reader labels, and we align public-facing services with Alberta Government service design expectations. For privacy, we design consent screens and privacy settings in plain language that explain what personal information is collected and why, so your product's consent flows reflect Alberta PIPA purposes. We are designers, not lawyers, so your privacy advisor should confirm the final wording.
