Services

Analysis, design, code and operations: one team

Designers and developers in the same studio, from day one. We follow the product from the first analysis through to its life in production, with no handovers between different suppliers: the same care we give to the detail of an interface goes into the code that implements it and the server it runs on.

Analysis and consulting services

Understand first,
then design

Half the projects that reach us arrive already packaged as a solution. Here we take it apart: who has the problem, what it costs today, what changes if we solve it. This phase decides how much work the other three actually need.

Product discovery

Interviews, market analysis and scope definition, before anyone opens Figma.

Requirements analysis

Functional requirements written by the people who will build them, so they can be checked and estimated.

UX audit

Where the interface you already have loses people, step by step.

Technical audit

The health of your code, architecture and technical debt, with priorities ordered by risk.

Data and analytics

What to measure after release, and how to read it without being told what you want to hear.

AI readiness

Which processes and which data can actually support a model, and which do not need one.

Book an analysis Two weeks is typical, and it ends with a document you can take anywhere else.
Design services

From brand
to interface

The mark and the interface are born together, because people do not tell the two apart: they see a product that makes sense, or one that does not. We hand over files ready for development, not presentations.

Brand identity

Naming, logo and a complete visual system, with the rules to use it without us.

User Experience Design

Information architecture, flows and clickable prototypes before a single line is written.

User Interface Design

Every state of the interface, not just the screen that works: empty, error, loading.

Design system

Components, tokens and documentation that hold the product together as the team grows.

Usability testing

Design decisions validated with real users, with recordings that settle the argument.

We design with
Let's talk about your product We start from what you already have: a brand, an interface, or just an idea.
Development services

From interface
to code

We write custom software when it is needed and use what already exists when that is enough. We explain the choice during analysis, along with the cost of maintaining it over the next three years.

Back-end and API

Custom web applications in Symfony, integrations and APIs for whoever comes after us.

React front-end

Reactive interfaces built on the design system components, not alongside them.

Flutter mobile apps

One codebase for iOS and Android, without the rough edges of hybrid.

Custom WordPress

Themes and plugins built to measure, where an off-the-shelf theme would become a constraint.

Artificial intelligence

LLMs, semantic search and automation inside the product, with the limits stated to the user.

We develop with
Let's talk about building it Timings and costs come after the analysis, not before it.
Operations and DevOps services

The work continues
after the release

A product nobody looks after degrades within months. We take care of infrastructure, releases and monitoring, so we see the errors before the people using it do.

Cloud infrastructure

Reproducible environments, from staging to production, described as versioned code.

CI/CD pipelines

Automatic tests, builds and releases on every merge: nobody uploads files to production by hand.

Monitoring and alerts

Logs, metrics and errors tracked, with agreed thresholds and stated on-call hours.

Performance and scale

Response times measured in the field and capacity sized on real peaks, not feared ones.

Security and updates

Dependencies updated, patches applied and access reviewed, on a schedule rather than on request.

Backup and recovery

Verified copies and a restore procedure we have actually tested, with the recovery time in writing.

Let's talk about your infrastructure Available on products we did not build, too.

How we work together

The four phases come in three formats. Which one fits depends on how defined the scope is and how much team you already have.

Project

Scope, schedule and cost fixed at the end of the analysis. We deliver a finished product and the documentation to keep it moving.

Extended team

Our designers and developers inside your process, with your tools and your ceremonies.

Ongoing support

A monthly block of hours for new features, maintenance and infrastructure on-call, with one fixed contact.

Why choose glueglue?

We are a digital product agency with over 10 years of experience and advanced expertise in design and development. We have refined an agile and effective method, suitable for both startups and large enterprises, ensuring execution speed and consistent quality.

How does glueglue work and what are your areas of expertise?

We start with an in‑depth needs analysis, considering product and business objectives in the medium to long term. We often begin with visual identity: we assess positioning, analyze competitors, and identify opportunities to improve brand and image. We then move to UX/UI: we conduct a professional UX Review to identify areas for intervention and improve the usability of the site or app. We design the User Journey Map, mapping all touchpoints to understand real use cases and where to create tangible value. We create wireframes and share an interactive prototype that defines the functionality, structure, and interactions of each page. Once the wireframes are consolidated, we refine the interface design in detail to ensure a pleasant and consistent experience. Finally, our developers implement the product with modern technologies such as React, Flutter, Symfony, Svelte, Node.js, and more, ensuring quality, stability, and pixel‑perfect results.

Do you use artificial intelligence?

Yes, on two fronts. Inside our own method, where it helps designers explore and compare several directions in hours instead of days, and helps engineers accelerate repetitive phases and raise quality with broader review and testing.
And inside the products we build for our clients: document and file analysis, predictive models, understanding of unstructured text, semantic search, assistants and automations.
For us it is a multiplier, not a shortcut: people stay in the loop and every AI feature has a success metric defined before it is written. Read how we use AI.

What sets glueglue apart from other top design or product agencies?

We work on a limited number of projects to maintain constant focus and achieve excellent results. We manage each project with clear deadlines and regular meetings, building tailor‑made, truly customized solutions. With over 10 years of experience in digital, we apply a proven method that maximizes results in strategy, design, and development.

Can you handle web design?

Yes. We work on iOS/Android apps, web apps, and complex platforms. A dedicated team also creates marketing websites, sites designed to effectively promote products or services.

Apri o chiudi
Do you also do branding or should I look for another agency?

We are a full‑service agency and offer branding services such as naming and logo design. We produce complete brand guidelines and work both on existing guidelines and in collaboration with other branding agencies.

How much does it cost to entrust you with a digital project?

We believe in transparency: talking openly about budget helps create value for both sides. Every client has different needs, which is why we don’t use a fixed price list. Instead, we take the time to understand the context and propose a tailored approach with a fair, appropriate investment. Our UX/UI design projects start at €15,000, while branding engagements begin at €8,000. Mobile app development typically requires an investment starting from €40,000, web apps from €30,000, and websites from €15,000. Our average hourly rate for consulting is €70/hour.

Do you also work with early‑stage startups, therefore with limited resources?

Absolutely yes: we love startups and often collaborate with talented entrepreneurs. We have invested in multiple ventures, favoring work for equity, contributing to funding rounds totaling over €30 million.
