Design and engineering studio

Ideas need a trajectory.

29th Labs is a design and engineering studio. We plan, design, build and grow digital products: websites, software and the systems behind them.

Every product starts as a point.

  1. Something starts here. Someone at a desk has an idea: a small point appears above their notebook.
  2. Shape the direction. Three people talk it through at a table, and the point passes between them.
  3. Give it form. A designer sketches on a sheet of paper; the pencil mark becomes the drawing's origin.
  4. Make it work. The sketch becomes a system on a large board, and the team reviews its structure.
  5. Turn structure into something real. A designer and an engineer build it together at a desk with a monitor and a laptop.
  6. Now it exists. On a laptop the point becomes a line, then an interface, then the finished product.

01Capabilities

One system, from the first question to the measured result.

  1. Discover

    Understand the problem, the people it serves and what success should look like, before anything is designed.

  2. Design

    Shape how the product works, how it looks and how it feels to use.

  3. Engineer

    Build it to last: fast, accessible, secure and ready to grow.

  4. Deploy

    Launch carefully, then keep it running and up to date.

  5. Optimize

    Measure what happens and improve it, one change at a time.

02What we build

Websites, software and the systems behind them.

Four disciplines. Each branches from the stage of the work where it happens.

  • Design

    How a product looks, works and holds together: identity, interfaces and design systems.

    • Brand identity
    • UI and UX design
    • Design systems
    • Digital experiences

    From stage 02 · Design

    Getting found and chosen: search, paid campaigns, measurement and landing pages.

    • SEO
    • Google Ads
    • Meta Ads
    • Analytics
    • Conversion-focused landing pages

    From stage 05 · Optimize

03How we work

How a project moves through us.

Capabilities are what we can do. This is what happens after you get in touch: six steps, in order, from the first conversation through launch and beyond.

  1. Discover

    The problem, who it's for and what success looks like.

  2. Define

    Scope, priorities and a plan, agreed in writing.

  3. Design

    The product in real screens, reviewed together before it is built.

  4. Build

    Engineered in short steps you can see and use.

  5. Launch

    Checked end to end, then released with care.

  6. Evolve

    Measured, learned from and improved after launch.

04Selected work

Work is where the system becomes visible.

Case studies will appear here when projects are ready to be shown. Each will document the same four things.

In preparation

  1. Challenge

    What needed solving, and for whom.

  2. Approach

    How the work was planned and designed.

  3. System

    What was built, and with what.

  4. Result

    What changed, in terms that can be measured.
