What does a UX/UI design agency do?

A UX/UI design agency researches how users interact with a product, then designs interfaces that are intuitive, visually polished, and optimised for business outcomes like conversion and retention. The Treasury covers the full spectrum — from user research and journey mapping through to UI design, prototyping, and handoff to development.

How much does UX/UI design cost in Dubai?

Design costs in Dubai vary by project scope. The Treasury offers both project-based engagements and a monthly subscription model (ongoing design partnership) to suit different needs and budgets. Contact us at info@thetreasury.design to discuss your project.

Do you work with startups as well as enterprise clients?

Yes. The Treasury works with early-stage startups designing their first MVP through to enterprise organisations like DEWA, Sainsbury's, BT, and Tesco redesigning complex digital products. Our subscription model is particularly suited to growing businesses that need consistent design output without hiring in-house.

What industries do you specialise in?

The Treasury has deep experience in real estate, retail and e-commerce, fintech, energy and utilities, government services, SaaS platforms, hospitality, and enterprise software. We are based in Dubai and have worked with clients across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and the UK.

What is subscription design?

Subscription design is an ongoing monthly design partnership where you get a dedicated design team working on your product continuously, rather than one-off project engagements. The Treasury offers Silver, Gold, and Platinum subscription tiers covering different volumes of design work per month.

Do you offer AI-enabled design services?

Yes. The Treasury integrates AI tools and automation into both our design workflow and into the digital products we build for clients. This includes AI-assisted prototyping, content generation, personalisation systems, and embedding AI features into product interfaces.

What building an internal team really involves — vs a subscription model.

Option A — Hiring in-house

Building internal capacity means:

↓Recruitment costs and sourcing time
↓Set-up, bonus and onboarding delays
↓Salary, benefits, and payroll burden
↓Long-term employment commitment
↓Single-role skill coverage
↓Ramp-up time before full productivity
↓Fixed headcount risk

You add cost before you add output.

Option B — Treasury subscription

Working with a subscription model means:

Immediate access to senior product design
No recruitment process
No long-term employment liability
Multi-disciplinary capability
Continuous iteration and refinement
Scalable monthly commitment

You scale output without increasing fixed overhead.

Subscription FAQs

What exactly is a design subscription?

A fixed monthly partnership where you get continuous senior UX/UI design output without hiring. You add requests, we prioritise and deliver them on a rolling basis.

How is this different from hiring an in-house designer?

No recruitment, salary, benefits or long-term liability. You get a multi-disciplinary senior team immediately, and can scale or pause as needs change.

What types of work can I request?

UX research, user flows, IA, wireframes, high-fidelity UI, design systems, prototyping, feature design, UX optimisation, accessibility and developer-ready handoff.

What counts as one task?

A discrete, well-defined design deliverable — e.g. a screen flow, a feature design, or a component set. We help scope tasks so they move quickly.

How is turnaround managed?

We work one active task at a time (per stream) so focus and quality stay high. Higher tiers get priority queues and faster turnaround.

What if we need multiple design streams running at once?

The Platinum tier supports multiple parallel streams with dedicated collaboration and a Slack channel.

How involved will we need to be?

Light but regular — a weekly prioritisation touchpoint and async feedback on deliverables keeps everything moving.

Do you offer meetings?

Yes — strategy check-ins are included (cadence depends on tier), plus async communication throughout.

Who owns the designs?

You do. All deliverables and source files are yours.

Can we cancel or pause?

Yes. No long-term contracts — pause or cancel between cycles.

Is this suitable for early-stage startups?

Yes — the Silver tier is built for early-stage teams establishing product foundations.

What is this not suited for?

Purely visual rebrands without product thinking, undefined strategy, or large simultaneous multi-stream execution without discovery.

What does a typical first week look like?

We kick off with a short onboarding call to align on your product, goals, and immediate priorities. You're added to a shared board, we agree on the first task, and design begins within 48 hours. Most clients have their first deliverable in review by end of week one.

Can I see examples of past work?

Yes — book a free call and we'll walk you through relevant case studies for your industry and product type. We can also share a portfolio overview on request.
