Featured work
Our work is defined by precision. We refine every scroll, animation, and interaction until the experience feels natural, deliberate, and complete.
A full SaaS product we designed, built, and maintain in-house. Describe your event in a sentence — the AI writes the copy, generates the artwork, and delivers the finished invitation across every major channel.
Open project
We rebuilt Medical One's entire digital presence — a custom platform that doesn't just present the hospital but actually connects to the systems that run it.
Open project
A complete digital credit brokerage — public marketing site, full loan application platform, OCR-powered ID capture, live trade registry integration, and multi-bank loan matching.
Open project
A bilingual brand site and a custom Next.js training platform for one of Romania's top tennis strength & conditioning coaches.

The full archive — 5 flagship case studies plus additional work.
Built for clinics, fintech, public institutions, EU alliances, and SaaS products
What clients say
Independent projects, long partnerships. A few voices from nine years of shipping.
“Most people told me I'd need one partner for the site and another for the app. Tangled Design built both.”
What we build. How it works.
Five stages, end to end. One partner from the first call to the code we maintain after launch — same senior team the whole way.
01
Strategy
We start by understanding your users, your constraints, and what success actually looks like. At the end of this stage you have a written brief, a scope map, and an honest estimate — so you know exactly what you're building before the first design starts.
- User flows
- Information architecture
- Scope map
- Stack recommendation
- Measurable outcomes
02
Design
Visual language, type system, interaction patterns. One key page built at full fidelity first — so you see the direction and sign off before we scale it across every template.
- Brand direction
- Typography system
- Interaction design
- Responsive behaviour
- Accessibility conformance
03
Engineering
Typed end-to-end, custom code on the right stack for your project. Server Components by default, real tests where they matter. No AI slop, no template hacks, no strings attached.
- Production code
- Custom CMS when needed
- Auth, payments, API integrations
- Automated tests
- Source control handoff
04
Ship
Accessible, monitored, measured. Real domain, real SSL, analytics wired up, Lighthouse benchmarks verified and optimised before launch. We walk you through exactly what's running in production before we hand you the keys.
- Hosting & CDN
- DNS, SSL, email
- Analytics & monitoring
- Lighthouse & accessibility reports
- Launch runbook
05
Maintain
We stay. Security patches, dependency updates, content additions, new features — one number to call. Optional retainer if you want ongoing design and engineering capacity on tap.
- Security & dependency updates
- Uptime monitoring
- Content additions
- Feature iterations
- Accessibility re-audits
