What PULSE changes
A redesign is decided at three moments: the diagnosis, the choice of structure, the design. PULSE handles all three in five weeks, and secures the second before committing to the third. Journeys and templates are tested with real users on a low-fidelity prototype, at a point where fixing something takes an hour. The final design starts from proven choices.
Every week ends with a client decision, not a progress update: diagnosis, architecture, tested wireframes, mockups, delivery. The client sees their first screens from the second week.
At the end, the mockups, the UI kit and the per-template specifications go straight into Niji ARC™, our AI-driven delivery methodology. A single chain from the first user interview to production.
AI keeps this pace. Our agents open each deliverable and produce the first draft of the UX audit, the site trees, the wireframes and the interface variants. Nobody starts from a blank page, and the senior designer spends their time on information architecture, journeys, accessibility and the consistency of the design system.
PULSE is the UX-UI design methodology driven by humans with AI at its core, developed by Niji's Design team. Five overlapping phases over five weeks: Probe, Unlock, Layout, Shape, Evaluate. It relies on our proprietary agents (UX audit, benchmark, accessibility, specifications), orchestrated by senior designers and powered by the market's agentic platforms via API.
The 3 design choices that make the difference
Journeys and templates are tested with users at the end of week 3, on a low-fidelity prototype. Structural choices are validated before the first pixel-perfect screen. A structural fix costs one hour at this stage, and a week once the design is done.
Every Friday, the client decides on a specific deliverable. Five decisions in five weeks, documented, that commit the rest of the project. The client keeps control of the structural trade-offs when they cost the least.
Our agents open each deliverable from day one, and the phases deliberately overlap: when the audit ends in week 2, the architecture is already under way. Every agent output is reviewed by a senior designer before it reaches the client.
PULSE, step by step
Five overlapping phases over five weeks. User testing happens on the low-fidelity prototype, before the final design.
Agents scan the site or app and produce the UX audit, the competitive benchmark, the SEO analysis and a first content mapping. The expert adds context, prioritizes by impact and effort, and runs the business workshops. The client validates a shared diagnosis.
Agents generate two or three site trees, the priority user flows and the basis of an editorial strategy. The expert arbitrates, refines with the business logic and formulates the strategic recommendation. The client leaves with their information architecture and target journeys.
Agents generate the wireframes for each validated template. The expert selects and refines in Figma and builds the clickable low-fidelity prototype. This is where we test with users: we fix the structure when it costs an hour, before investing in the design.
Agents propose creative direction variations and produce the UI kit components. The designer chooses, works on the micro-interactions and delivers the high-fidelity mockups and the interactive prototype. The most human phase of the method, by design.
Automated RGAA and WCAG accessibility audit, design system consistency check, UX-UI specifications per template. The expert prepares the handoff to developers and reviews the mockups. What comes out of PULSE is what goes into Niji ARC™.
What secures the outcome
Speed is pointless if the mockups don't hold up in front of users and developers. Four points make sure they do.
The result: a UX-UI redesign delivered in five weeks, tested with users and ready for development, RGAA compliance included.
Implementation in your organization
PULSE is delivered as part of Niji's Design offer, by a team of four senior profiles. The Design Lead runs the engagement and carries the trade-offs to the sponsor. The Design Orchestrator drives the agents, frames the prompts and checks every output before it is released. The Product Designer owns the structure, the mockups and the UI kit. The UX Writer works on the editorial architecture and the interface content. The team adapts to your existing design system and to your regulatory constraints.
Each deliverable has its own fixed price, across three levels (Essential, Advanced, Premium), announced before work begins. Three configurations serve as a base: a one-week Quick Scan to frame a project, a five-week Standard Redesign from audit to tested mockups, and a six-to-eight-week Transformation with user research and design follow-up over several months.
A diagnosis in one week. Any PULSE engagement can start with a Quick Scan: UX audit, benchmark and strategic recommendation in five days. Enough to decide the scope of a redesign before committing to it.
