Services

Everything a modern company needs, from one studio.

Five capabilities that were never meant to be bought separately. We scope them together, staff them from one team, and hold one number as the definition of done.

01

Product & Web Design

Interfaces people trust on the first try.

We start with evidence — interviews, session recordings, support tickets — then design in the browser, so decisions get made against real content instead of placeholder text.

Discovery & research

Information architecture

UI design & prototypes

Design systems & tokens

WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility

Handover & enablement

Timeline

6–12 weeks

Product & Web Design

Custom Software

02

Custom Software

Platforms that survive their own success.

TypeScript end to end, tested and observable from the first commit. We build what the product actually needs, and nothing you will have to maintain for no reason.

Web apps & dashboards

APIs & integrations

CMS & content models

CI/CD & observability

Performance budgets

Security review

Timeline

8–26 weeks

03

Brand & Identity

Look like the company you are becoming.

Naming, identity systems, motion — and the guidelines that keep it consistent once thirty people are using it without you in the room.

Naming & narrative

Logo & identity system

Typography & colour

Motion principles

Brand guidelines

Launch assets

Timeline

5–10 weeks

AI Engineering

AI you can put in front of a customer.

Assistants, retrieval and automation built with evaluation harnesses, guardrails, and a human in the loop wherever the cost of being wrong is real.

Use-case shaping

RAG & retrieval

Agent workflows

Evaluation harnesses

Guardrails & review

Cost & latency tuning

Timeline

6–20 weeks

08 / Questions

The things every client asks.

If your question is not here, write to hello@ironlight.studio and a principal will answer it directly.

How do you price an engagement?

Sprints and projects are fixed price against a written scope. Partnerships are a monthly retainer. We do not bill hourly, because hourly rewards the wrong behaviour.

How quickly can you start?

Usually two to four weeks out. We hold one slot each quarter for existing clients, which is part of why the studio stays small on purpose.

Who actually does the work?

The people you meet in the first call. There is no junior bench and no offshore hand-off — 48 specialists, all in-house across New York, Lisbon and Singapore.

Do you work alongside in-house teams?

Most of our best work is paired with a client team. We can lead, embed or hand over, and we write the documentation either way.

What happens after launch?

Thirty days of included support on projects, then either a partnership or a clean handover with system documentation and a recorded walkthrough.
