UI/UX Design without comprimise

UI/UX Design — For outdoor & adventure brands

Trusted by outdoor industry leaders

Figma-first UI/UX design for outdoor and adventure brands — and when you're ready to build, we do that too.

WHAT WE DESIGN

UI/UX Design

Most agencies hand you a pretty PDF and wish you luck. We design in Figma with the build already in mind — every component, layout, and interaction mapped to how it'll actually work on a live site. Whether you take the files to your own dev team or hand them straight to us, nothing gets lost in translation.

Design systems

A design system is your brand's single source of truth. We build component libraries in Figma — typography, colour tokens, button states, spacing rules, form components — so every page you add from here is consistent and on-brand. And because we also build in Webflow and Shopify, your system translates directly into code without rework.

Design Partnerships

Some clients don't need a one-off project — they need a design partner on call. We work with outdoor brands as an ongoing Figma design resource, covering new pages, landing pages, feature updates, and UX improvements as your business grows.

WHY DESIGN FIRST

GET IT RIGHT BEFORE
YOU BUILD

Starting with design means you see exactly what you're getting before a line of code is written. Stakeholders can sign off. Content can be written to fit. And when it's time to build, there's no guesswork — just execution.

Get Started with Your New Project
No expensive rework
Changes in Figma take minutes. Changes mid-development take days. Getting the design right first saves time and money down the track.
Hand off to anyone
Clean, named, auto-layout Figma files that any developer can work from. Or hand them straight to us — we'll build it faster because we designed it.
One team, start to finish
Almost* all of our design clients move into a Webflow or Shopify build with us. Same team, same context, no briefing anyone from scratch. The design just becomes the site.
OUR PROCESS

How we design your project

Every project starts with understanding your business — then we build around it

Discover

We start with your brand, your audience, and your goals. What needs to be communicated, to who, and what action you want them to take. That brief drives every design decision.

Wireframe

Structure before style. We map user flows and screen layouts in low-fidelity first — so the logic is right before we spend time making it look good.

Design

High-fidelity Figma designs across every key screen and breakpoint. Desktop, mobile, component states — built to match your brand and exceed what your competitors are putting out.

Build

Clean Figma handoff with named components, exported assets, and a design system ready to go. Or skip the handoff entirely — we'll take it live in Webflow or Shopify ourselves.

DESIGNED HERE. BUILT HERE

WHY IT MATTERS

First impressions are made before you pick up the phone

The hunters and anglers booking premium experiences aren't picking up the phone first. They're looking you up. What they find either builds confidence or sends them somewhere else.

Common questions about working with Outside Studios and our approach

How long does a project take?

Most Shopify builds take 4–8 weeks depending on scope. Custom builds with complex catalogues or integrations sit at the longer end. We'll map out the exact timeline in our first conversation.

Do you work with existing Shopify stores or only new builds?

Both. We do full builds from scratch and we fix and improve stores that aren't performing. If you've already got a store but it's slow, hard to manage, or not converting — that's exactly the kind of work we do.

Can you migrate us from another platform?

Yes. We migrate stores from WooCommerce, Wix, Squarespace and custom-built sites onto Shopify. Products, collections, customer data, redirects — we handle the whole move so nothing gets lost and your SEO doesn't take a hit.

Will we be able to manage the store ourselves after launch?

That's the goal. We build on Shopify specifically because it's straightforward to manage. We also document anything custom and walk your team through it before handover so you're not relying on us for day-to-day changes.

Do you handle Shopify apps and integrations?

Yes. Whether it's reviews, loyalty programmes, inventory management, email marketing, or third-party shipping — we'll recommend what you actually need and integrate it properly, not just install and hope for the best

What happens after the store launches?

We offer ongoing support, SEO, and marketing services if you need them. Some clients hand off and run it themselves. Others keep us involved for growth work. Either way, you won't be left on your own on launch day.

Why us

About
outside
studios

Outside Studio was always on the back burner. An idea that had been sitting there for years, waiting for the right moment.

Founded by Boston Bright, the same person behind our sister brand Inside Studio, Outside Studio was born from a life that has always had one foot in the outdoors. Weekends chasing giant kingfish on the spear, seasons tracking trophy stags through the hills, or nights camping with the family in the adventure land of New Zealand. The love for the outdoors has always been there. It just needed a way to work its way into daily life.

So here it is Outside Studio, the number one brand partner for outdoor businesses wanting to expand their reach, attract new clients, and build an online presence that actually matches the quality of the experience you provide. A brand partner who won't need the feeling of the outdoor explained to them. We know it well.
