dxw

dxw is an independent digital agency that works with the public and third sectors.

Since 2008, we’ve worked in partnership to improve people’s lives by designing, building, and operating digital public services. We support organisations to build their own digital capability and take an iterative user-centred approach to service design.

We believe people’s experience of public services should be positive and seamless. That means creating great services that are accessible to everyone. By helping the public sector make the most of digital, we want to free up more resources for essential front line services.

dxw has a rich mix of experience from consultancy for digital transformation, to the technical expertise to build and run large scale digital services. We have a growing design team including user researchers, service designers, content designers, visual, interaction, and front end designers.
