Dashboards that drive decisions.

The real problem
More charts isn’t more clarity.
Many dashboards show everything because nobody decided what matters. Users scan dozens of charts, export to Excel and work it out themselves. Clear dashboards start with the decisions people need to make.
01
Everyone exports to Excel
The dashboard exists, but nobody trusts or uses it.
02
Chart overload
Every metric gets equal weight, so nothing stands out.
03
Slow to answer simple questions
Finding one number takes several clicks and filters.
What you get
From data to decisions.
We design the questions first, then the layout, then the charts.
01
User and decision mapping
Who uses the dashboard, what they decide and how often.
02
KPI hierarchy
Primary, supporting and diagnostic metrics organised by importance.
03
Information architecture
Views, filters, drill-downs and navigation.
04
Data visualisation
The right chart for each question, with clear labels and colour.
05
Alerts and states
Empty, loading, error and threshold states designed properly.
06
Responsive layouts
Usable on laptops, large screens and mobile.
07
Component library
Reusable chart and table components for consistent future views.
08
Build support
Specs for developers, or live dashboards in Looker Studio or Power BI.

FAQs
Common questions.
Can’t find what you’re looking for? Ask us directly; a real person replies within one working day.
Do you build dashboards or only design them?
Both. We design product dashboards for your developers, and can build reporting dashboards in Looker Studio, Power BI or similar tools.
Which chart types do you use?
Whatever answers the question best, usually simple bars, lines and tables. Decorative charts that are hard to read are avoided.
Can you work with our existing data?
Yes. We review your data sources and design around what’s available, flagging gaps.
Do you design admin panels?
Yes. Admin panels and internal tools benefit from the same clarity.
How do you make dashboards accessible?
Clear labels, sufficient contrast, colour-blind-safe palettes and data tables alongside charts.
How much does dashboard design cost?
It depends on the number of views and complexity. We share a fixed quote after reviewing your needs.
