UX Strategy
UX strategy is the discipline of designing digital experiences — web, mobile, email, and beyond — around how real users actually behave, not just how a business wants to present itself. Trellist provides UX strategy for organizations whose digital experiences look finished but don’t convert or engage the way they should.
What we do
Experience Research & Audit
Understanding how users actually move through your current experience, and where they get stuck.
Tools we work with
Adobe Analytics for path and drop-off analysis
Quals.ai for AI-moderated user interviews at scale (our own platform)
Information Architecture
Structuring content and navigation around how users think and search, not your internal org chart.
Tools we work with
Optimal Workshop for card sorts and tree tests
Figma for sitemaps and wireframes
Journey Mapping
Designing the end-to-end experience across web, mobile, and email as one coherent journey.
Tools we work with
Miro for journey-mapping workshops with your team
Usability Testing
Validating design decisions with real users before they’re built, not after launch.
Tools we work with
Figma for clickable prototypes
Maze for unmoderated usability tests
Cross-Channel UX Consistency
Making sure the experience feels coherent whether a user is on web, mobile, or email.

Our approach
We start by researching how users actually experience your current digital properties. From there we architect the information structure and journey, validate decisions through usability testing, and ensure consistency across every channel a user touches.
Signs you need this
- Your digital properties look polished but conversion and engagement rates don’t reflect it.
- Users regularly get stuck or confused at the same point in your experience.
- Web, mobile, and email each feel like a different brand experience.
- Design decisions are made by internal opinion rather than user research.
What you’ll gain
- A digital experience that performs as well as it looks.
- Fewer users getting stuck at predictable friction points.
- A consistent experience across every channel, not disconnected silos.
- Design decisions grounded in real user behavior, not internal debate.
How it compares
Trellist grounds UX strategy in real user research and testing, applied consistently across channels. That’s different from a visual design agency, which focuses on how an experience looks rather than how it performs, and different from isolated usability testing without a broader strategy connecting the findings to action.
FAQ
Do you redesign the experience, or just provide strategy and recommendations?
Both — we can provide strategy alone or carry it through to design and build, depending on what you need.
What channels does UX strategy cover?
Web, mobile, and email most commonly, designed as one coherent journey rather than separate experiences.
How do you validate design decisions?
Through usability testing with real users before a design goes into full production, not just internal review.
Why Trellist
We ground every UX decision in how users actually behave, not how a stakeholder assumes they will.
