The SaaS design challenge you're facing
You're building something incredible. Your SaaS product solves real problems, your early users love it, and you've got the metrics to prove product-market fit. But there's a problem: your UI looks like it was built in 2015.
Your onboarding flow confuses users. Your conversion rates are stuck in single digits. And every time you try to hire a designer, you face the same roadblocks.
Traditional agencies want 6-month contracts and $50,000 retainers. Freelancers disappear mid-project or deliver work that needs endless revisions. Hiring in-house means months of recruiting, six-figure salaries, and hoping they understand SaaS metrics. Meanwhile, your competitors are shipping beautiful updates weekly while you're stuck in design limbo.
Sound familiar? You're not alone. We've heard this story from hundreds of SaaS founders. That's exactly why we built Tenscope differently.

What makes our SaaS design services different
Every design decision we make is backed by SaaS-specific expertise.
Here's how we approach each service area:
Product strategy and user research
Before we design a single pixel, we dive deep into your user data. We analyze your funnel metrics, review support tickets, and conduct user interviews. We identify where users drop off, what features drive engagement, and which UI elements cause confusion. This data-driven approach ensures our designs solve real business problems, not imaginary ones.
Onboarding flow optimization
Your onboarding is make-or-break for SaaS success. We design onboarding flows that get users to their "aha moment" fast. Whether it's a guided tour, progressive disclosure, or interactive tutorials, we'll find the approach that maximizes activation. We've helped clients increase trial-to-paid conversion by up to 40% just by reimagining their first-user experience.
Dashboard and analytics design
SaaS users live in dashboards. We design dashboards that surface the right information at the right time. Clean data visualization, intuitive navigation, and smart information hierarchy – all optimized for the workflows your users repeat daily. We balance power and simplicity, ensuring both new users and power users feel at home.
Mobile app design
Your users expect seamless experiences across devices. We design mobile apps that feel native while maintaining consistency with your web platform. Push notifications, offline functionality, gesture controls – we handle the complexities of mobile while keeping your brand cohesive.
Design system development
Consistency is crucial for SaaS products. We create comprehensive design systems that scale with your product. Component libraries, design tokens, documentation – everything your team needs to maintain quality as you grow. No more design debt, no more inconsistent UI elements across features.

The Hidden Costs of Alternative Design Solutions
Hiring In-House Designers
A senior product designer costs $120,000-$180,000 per year, plus benefits, equipment, and software licenses. That's before considering recruitment costs (averaging $15,000), onboarding time (3-6 months to full productivity), and the risk they'll leave after a year. Even if you find the perfect designer, they're just one person. When they're sick, on vacation, or overwhelmed, your design work stops.
Working with Traditional Agencies
Agencies typically demand 3-6 month minimum contracts starting at $30,000-$100,000. They assign junior designers to your account while seniors work on bigger clients. Communication happens through account managers who don't understand your product. Change requests cost extra. Urgent updates? That'll be rush fees. And when the contract ends, you're left with files but no ongoing support.
Freelance Designers
Freelancers seem affordable at $75-150 per hour, but costs add up fast. A simple landing page redesign becomes a $10,000 project. They juggle multiple clients, so your urgent fix waits behind someone else's priority. Quality varies wildly – that amazing portfolio might be their one good project. And when they get busy or find a full-time role, you're back to square one.
The Tenscope Difference
One flat monthly rate. Senior designers only. Start tomorrow, cancel anytime. Scale up or down instantly. We're not just another vendor – we become part of your team. Your Slack becomes our Slack. Your sprints become our sprints. Your success metrics become our obsession.
The metrics we move
We don't measure success in pixels pushed or mockups delivered. We measure it in business impact:
Trial-to-paid conversion
Average improvement of 25-40% through optimized onboarding
User activation
50% reduction in time-to-first-value for new users
Feature adoption
3x increase in feature discovery and usage
Support tickets
30% decrease in UX-related support requests
User retention
20% improvement in 30-day retention rates
These aren't hypothetical numbers. They're based on real results from real SaaS companies we've partnered with. When your design improves these metrics, everything else follows – easier fundraising, faster sales cycles, happier customers, and ultimately, sustainable growth.
