UX, accessibility & AI
Clear, fast, accessible websites, plus AI tools that take the admin off your hands.
We use AI tools throughout our design and development work, checked by hand at every step. That keeps costs down without cutting corners. Usability and accessibility are part of every project from the start, not an extra at the end.
Your website should be winning you clients.
But slow pages, confusing layouts and missed enquiries cost you business.
At CôTEDESIGNS, we start with a free review of your site.
Then we redesign it to be clear, fast and accessible to everyone.
Smart AI automations answer questions, book appointments and update your CRM, even while you sleep.
Websites that win clients. Start with a free review.
Send us your website. We record a short personal video showing what's working, what isn't, and what we'd fix first.
You get a written scope and one fixed price. No hourly surprises.
We do the work on a separate copy of your site and test it on phones and with accessibility tools. You see it before anything goes live.
We put it live, walk you through it, and make sure you can manage it yourself. If you'd rather not, we can manage it for you for a fee.
ProblemYour site looks dated, is slow or awkward on a phone, or shuts out people with disabilities.
We review your website or tool, find what's confusing, slow, broken on mobile or blocking people with disabilities, and fix it in the code. You keep what works; the rest gets better. Accessibility is tested to WCAG 2.2 AA, the standard behind the UK Equality Act and the European Accessibility Act.
ProblemEnquiries arrive as messy emails and forms you have to chase by hand.
Online booking, better contact and intake forms, a customer area or a CRM, added to the website or product you already have.
See the Site AssistantProblemYour team spends hours sorting enquiries, answering the same questions and copying details between systems.
We set up practical AI tools that save your team time: enquiries sorted and answered, a website assistant for common questions, and details passed between the tools you already use. A person checks anything important.
See what we automateProblemWhat you have can't be fixed, or the tool you need doesn't exist yet.
A new website, a web application, or a custom tool for your business or your customers, built from scratch by the same team that designs it.

Practical automations that plug into the tools you already use, so your team spends less time on admin and more time with clients.
What we improved
Chartered accountancy firm, UK
“CôTEDESIGNS went through our website in detail and fixed the accessibility problems in the code. The site now works properly on phones, and the enquiries we get from mobile are noticeably better.”
Sham S.
Accountico
“The intake form Julien built changed how we handle new enquiries. People send their details and documents before our first call, which saves our team hours of admin every week.”
Ignacio J.
KIU System Solutions
“Julien set up automatic sorting of our incoming enquiries and connected it to the tools we already use. It's reliable and simple, with nothing we didn't need.”

Our team
CôTEDESIGNS is a UX design and development consultancy founded by Julien Côte, a senior UX designer and developer with more than 10 years of experience and a background in front-end engineering. Our experience covers large digital projects in fashion, social media, real estate, pensions and transport, as well as UK government services. Today we work directly with service businesses whose enquiries and bookings come through their website: accountancy and professional practices, retreats and companies with their own digital products.
When you work with us, the people who review your site are the same people who design and build the improvements, from start to finish, so nothing gets lost along the way.
