Who we are

Uxiliary is a Spokane based development studio that specializes in building and maintaining sites and applications for the web. We’re a lean, passionate team heavily steeped in design and user experience. We’re hellbent on making meaningful digital projects as user-friendly and elegant as they are functional, and we have a unique breadth and depth of experience to do just that.

We develop and facilitate extraordinary projects for world-class creative agencies and brands. Startups, smaller clients, and Fortune 100 companies have come to love us as a trusted partner that understands their brand and exceeds expectations while delivering on-time and on-budget, always. Not only that, we strive to build great relationships with our clients, and our crew often becomes as tight-knit and supportive as an internal team. We don’t just know what we’re doing. We learn what you want. We listen, and we care.    

Uxiliary is a response to a common problem today. Many studios are mired in advertising and prioritize design at the cost of technical capability. Others are anchored in code and apply design as an afterthought sacrificing usability. Uxiliary takes a different approach. We are designers and usability experts who have focused our passions on technology and development.

Our approach

Our interdisciplinary skillset helps us quickly understand your design ideas and develop the technology to exacting standards to help your business thrive on the web. From writing code to enhancing server functionality to recommending design best practices, we control the whole gamut to bring your creative work to life digitally.

Uxiliary finds the right solution for you, be it a digital campaign, the app behind your next great startup, or an online hub for a global event. We also do basic repair and provide ongoing support, quality assurance, and testing. We can step in gracefully to offer quick fixes, or we can take over the whole project including ongoing maintenance as smoothly as an internal team.

Our tight-knit team of designer-developers is seasoned in collaboration with each other and with you.  When you team up with us, functionality, usability and design develop in chorus, and they build off each other. The result is a product more elegant, more powerful, and faster than planned.

With this winning visual and interactive combo, we take brands and businesses to the next level. Best of all, we have fun doing it. We see the web as our playground. A place for us to create great interactive experiences for you and your customers.

Production

Uxiliary can build or maintain dang near any web project. Along with systematically analyzing your brand and design needs, we take a devoutly user-centric approach to everything we craft. Never getting the cart before the horse, every step of the development process is real and complete. No backtracking needed.

We take the time to consider everything from user interaction and animation to speed, SEO, mobile responsiveness, scalability, and tons of other random elements. The result is a faster, more sophisticated product, and at a lower price than hiring an internal team. And, we love coming up with innovative solutions for new challenges.
