This is general information, not legal advice. Your legal adviser has the final word.
Revised FADP (nDSG)
The revised Federal Act on Data Protection has applied since 1 September 2023. It requires privacy by design and by default and clear privacy notices. We design forms, consent and notices to match, and the GDPR too when you also serve users in the EU.
Official source: FADP (fedlex.admin.ch) ↗European Accessibility Act for EU customers
Swiss companies that offer covered consumer services, such as e-commerce or banking, to customers in the EU fall under the European Accessibility Act, applied by EU countries since 28 June 2025. We design to WCAG 2.2 AA.
Official source: Directive (EU) 2019/882 (EUR-Lex) ↗FDPIC guidance

Frequently asked questions
UI/UX design in Zürich: before you book a call.
Do you have a UI/UX design office in Zürich?
Yes. Our Zürich office is at Hardstrasse 201, 8005 Zürich. You can meet the team there in person or work with us by video; workshops and design reviews work well in either format.
How much does UI/UX design cost in Zürich?
Pricing is custom. It depends on the number of journeys and screens, research depth, platforms, whether you need a new design system and your timeline. After a short brief and a free 30-minute call, you get a written estimate.
How long does a UI/UX design project take?
Typically: research and audit 1 to 3 weeks, structure and flows 1 to 2 weeks, prototype and testing 1 to 3 weeks, UI and design system 2 to 6 weeks depending on screen count. These are ranges, not guarantees.
What is the difference between UI and UX design?
UX design is how a product works: structure, flows and how easily people finish tasks. UI design is how it looks: layout, type, colour and components. We do both, starting with UX.
Will our design be accessible?
Yes. WCAG 2.2 level AA is our default target, specified in every design, which helps you meet rules such as the European Accessibility Act when you serve EU customers. Full conformance also depends on the build, so we review it with your developers.
Can you also build what you design?
Yes: our app development team can build it, or we hand over specs and design tokens to your developers and review the build with them. Projects are led by UnFoldMart from our international offices.
Can you design for several Swiss languages?
Yes. We design layouts that work for German, French, Italian and English text, and set up the design system so adding a language is a content task, not a redesign.
Can we meet in person in Zürich?
Yes. Zürich is one of our two offices with in-person meetings, at Hardstrasse 201. Workshops and design reviews can also run by video.
How do you handle Swiss data protection in design?
We design for privacy by default: clear notices, real consent choices and forms that only ask for what a task needs, in line with the revised FADP. Your legal adviser has the final word.
Can the first call be in German?
Yes. The free first call can be in German on our German page; project calls are in English. Designs can be delivered in German and English.
