Hire a dedicated offshore ui/ux designer
A dedicated offshore UI/UX designer costs £1,500–£2,100 per month all-inclusive through Aspire Offshore — against £4,138–£6,438 per month fully loaded for an equivalent UK hire.
One person. Your business only.
Design debt compounds quietly: clunky journeys, inconsistent screens, a website that leaks conversions nobody can quite explain. UK design salaries put a full-time fix out of reach for most SMEs — the dedicated offshore model puts it back.
Your designer works in Figma on your product, site or app exclusively — mapping journeys, wireframing, prototyping and shipping conversion-focused improvements in a steady weekly cadence with your developers.
What your ui/ux designer can take care of
- User journey mapping and flows
- Wireframes and interactive prototypes
- UI design for web and mobile
- Design systems and component libraries
- Landing page and conversion design
- Usability review and improvement cycles
- Developer handoff in Figma
- Design QA on shipped work

UI/UX Designer FAQs
How much does an offshore UI/UX designer cost?
£1,500 per month at Mid-level and £2,100 at Senior — all-inclusive, full-time. UK equivalents cost £4,138–£6,438 per month fully loaded — savings up to £52,056 a year at London benchmarks.
Can I see portfolios before hiring?
Yes — portfolio review is central to shortlisting for this role, and you'll assess work samples and set a practical exercise in interview if you wish. Nobody starts without your approval.
Do they work with developers?
Daily — Figma handoff, specs and design QA are core duties, and your designer joins your standups or check-ins on UK hours like any team member.
UX research too, or just UI?
Both, scoped to your maturity: journey mapping, heuristic reviews and usability passes are standard; formal moderated research can be built into a Senior placement's role definition.
