Web app design at Halo Lab starts with the user flows — mapping every task, role, and state your application needs to support before any component or screen is designed.
We design web applications from information architecture through to a component-based Figma system — with interaction states, error states, and responsive behaviour specified for every screen before the handoff to your development team.
3 main challenges holding back your growth
Outgrown identity
Your company has grown, but the brand no longer reflects scale or direction.

Missing UI states
Empty states, error states, and loading left undesigned — engineers invent them.

No component system
Screens designed in isolation — engineers rebuild components for every feature.
Incomplete interaction specs
Designs handed off without specs — engineering makes decisions design should.
“All projects in which we’ve involved Halo Lab have been great successes, but their leadership on our brand refresh is worth highlighting.”
“We’ve had feedback from users, investors, and employees, and everyone has said that Halo Lab did a fantastic job with the branding.”
“We’re proud of their branding services. They not only do what we tell them but also make suggestions to help us improve our offerings.”
What we deliver
Web app design from
user flows to handoff
User Flow Mapping
Every task, role, and user journey mapped before any screen or component is designed.
Information Architecture
Navigation, content hierarchy, and feature grouping structured before wireframing begins.
Wireframes
Low-fidelity layout and flow validated before full UI design begins — no wasted sprint.
UI Design
Every screen designed — active, empty, error, and loading states all specified.
Component Library
Figma component library built — variants, properties, and auto-layout for every component.
Design System
Tokens, typography, colour, and spacing documented — your engineers build consistently.
Responsive Design
Desktop, tablet, and mobile layouts specified — no responsive behaviour left to guesswork.
Engineering Handoff
Annotated Figma files, interaction specs, and assets — ready for development to begin.

FAQ
Why invest in branding services?
Why invest in branding services?
What does web app design include?
User flow mapping, information architecture, wireframes, UI design for every screen and state, Figma component library, design system documentation, responsive layouts, and an annotated engineering handoff.
How is web app design different from website design?
A website primarily communicates — web app design solves task completion. Web apps have multiple user roles, complex states, data-heavy layouts, and interaction flows that require UX design discipline beyond what a marketing site demands.
Do you design all states — including empty and error?
Yes. Every screen is designed with all required states — active, empty, loading, error, and success. Empty and error states are not left for engineers to invent; they’re specified and annotated in the handoff.
Do you build a Figma component library?
Yes. A component library is a standard deliverable — every component built with variants, properties, and auto-layout so your engineers can inspect, measure, and export without requesting additional files.
Do you design for multiple user roles?
Yes. Multi-role applications — with separate interfaces for different permission levels — are designed with distinct flows, navigation structures, and permission-aware components for each user type.
How long does web app design take?
Most web application design projects take 6 to 12 weeks from discovery to engineering handoff, depending on feature complexity, number of user roles, and whether a full design system is in scope.
Do you work from an existing design system?
Yes. If your team has an existing design system or component library, we design within it — extending it with new components and patterns as required, without diverging from the established system.
Do you hand off to any development team?
Yes. The handoff is structured for any development team — annotated Figma files, interaction specs, component documentation, and a design-to-development guide included regardless of who builds it.
Can you also develop the web app?
Yes. Full-stack web application development is available following the design engagement — one team handling both design and development so the component architecture in Figma maps directly to the code.
