Slide UX

Slide UX as a studio

Slide UX is the smallest team in this batch, two to nine people, and one of the few with a stated mission. Its tagline describes a user experience consultancy for brain change, aging and care, and the industry mix agrees: healthcare and non-profit at 25 percent each, government at 10 percent. UX/UI is 95 percent of the service mix. Founded 2012, it charges $150 - $199 / hr with a $5,000+ minimum and holds a 4.9 across 72 Clutch reviews. No headquarters is listed. Reviews cover an assessment tool and a nonprofit site with logo.

Who it fits

Hire Slide UX when you are building for older adults, patients, carers or a public audience and you want a senior, specialist team that will design for accessibility and cognition first. It is a UX practice, not a visual studio; the single logo mention in reviews is the exception, not the offer.

Strengths

• A genuine specialism in aging, care and brain change, unusual in a pool of generalists.
• Boutique at two to nine people, so the senior team is the delivery team.
• Detailed product work, with a reviewer describing 15 unique screens, a business health assessment and a valuation calculator.

Watch-outs

• UX/UI is 95 percent of the mix; branding and graphic design are essentially absent.
• At $150 - $199 / hr, a team this small will not scale to a large or fast programme.

Evidence

• Service mix: UX/UI design 95 percent, product design 5 percent; industries led by healthcare and non-profit at 25 percent each.
• A Clutch reviewer notes the team "designed the layout, templates, and navigation of the site based on user needs and created the logo" for a nonprofit.
• Founded 2012; team of 2 to 9; minimum project $5,000+; rating 4.9 across 72 Clutch reviews.
