As a specialized UI agency, Eckstein Design develops user interfaces that are intuitive, visually appealing, and functionally robust – from mobile screens to industrial touch interfaces and embedded GUIs in complex systems. For us, great UI design is more than just aesthetics: it’s the critical interface between humans and technology, between brand identity and real-world usability.

Excellent UI combines visual clarity, logical structure, and emotional resonance into one cohesive experience. It enables users to reach their goals effortlessly, perceive brand values, and enjoy seamless interaction – whether on a smartphone, a software dashboard, or an industrial machine.

Our UI Approach at Eckstein Design

Our UI process is strategically aligned and closely linked with our UX expertise. We merge visual communication with technical feasibility to create consistent and accessible design systems that reflect brand identity and meet WCAG 2.1 accessibility standards.

We design fully responsive interfaces with frontend-compatibility in mind – ensuring logical focus order, strong contrast, and semantic structure from the ground up.

A key focus is the creation of modular design systems that ensure both visual consistency and technical scalability. Our UI components integrate seamlessly with modern frontend frameworks like React, Angular, or Vue – bridging the gap between design and development.

Frequently Asked Questions About UI Design

What is the difference between UI and UX?

User Interface (UI) focuses on the visual and functional design of a digital product – what users see and interact with: layout, typography, icons, buttons, animations. User Experience (UX) is the overall experience – how it feels to use the product, whether it’s intuitive, satisfying, and efficient.
While UI is a key component of UX, the latter also includes strategy, user psychology, and flow. Both disciplines must work in close alignment to create effective and enjoyable products.

What types of applications does Eckstein Design work on?

We design user interfaces for a wide range of professional and technical applications. This includes web-based platforms, mobile apps for iOS and Android, complex desktop software, and embedded GUIs for machinery, laboratory equipment, and medical devices. Our clients operate in sectors such as industry, healthcare, mobility, and B2B technology – wherever technical precision must be combined with intuitive operation.

How much does professional UI design cost, and what determines the effort involved?

The cost of UI design depends significantly on the complexity of the system, the number of screens, and the technical requirements of the target platform. For example, a streamlined web application is typically less resource-intensive than a multilingual industrial touchscreen interface with specific ergonomic or compliance needs. Factors such as animation level, responsive behavior, accessibility standards, and coordination with development teams also play a key role. At Eckstein Design, we begin each project with a structured analysis of your requirements to provide a transparent, realistic, and cost-effective effort estimate.
