cxpartners as a studio

cxpartners is a 50 to 249 person London consultancy founded in 2004 whose service mix is a single line: UX/UI design at 100 percent. Fintech and retail are 30 percent each of its industry work, with B2B services at 10 percent. Pricing is $150 to $199 per hour with a $10,000+ minimum, low for a firm of this size. There is no Clutch rating, no reviews and no client-type breakdown on record. What the record does say is unambiguous: this is a user experience consultancy, not a visual, brand or product engineering studio.

Hire cxpartners when a financial services or retail organisation wants an established London UX consultancy for research, journeys and interface design, with a $10,000+ entry point that allows discrete engagements. It does not list branding, graphic design or development, so bring your own visual language and build team.
