UI/UX design for US companies: what to expect from an offshore design partner
US companies working with an offshore UI/UX partner should expect WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility (the standard ADA expectations point to), HIPAA-aware flows where health data is involved, planned overlap with US working hours, complete Figma deliverables and — ideally — a team that can also build what it designs.
Key takeaways
- Make WCAG 2.2 AA part of the brief, not a later audit.
- Agree overlap hours for reviews before the project starts.
- Ask for every state and a design system, not just key screens.
- A design-and-build partner removes the handoff gap.
Many US startups and enterprises design with partners in India for capacity and cost. The projects that go well agree the standards and the working rhythm up front.
What US products need built in
Requirements we design for
- WCAG 2.2 AA contrast, focus, targets and keyboard access.
- HIPAA-aware consent and data views for health-adjacent products.
- Card and wallet-first checkout with Apple Pay and Google Pay.
- SOC 2-friendly patterns: roles, audit logs, data export.
- Plain-language pricing and terms for skimming readers.
Working across time zones
We schedule reviews in the US morning or late afternoon so feedback never waits a full day, share recorded walkthroughs for async review, and keep a single shared Figma file as the source of truth.
| Week | Deliverable |
|---|---|
| 1–2 | Discovery, audit, user flows |
| 3–4 | Two or three design directions, chosen with you |
| 5–8 | Final screens, prototype, design system, specs |
