IT software services consulting
Websites and software, designed and built.
I'm Essa Saulat, a freelance IT and software consultant working with startups and small businesses. Web design and development, product and interface design, and technical direction — from the first sketch through to something that's live.
Services
Three ways to work
with me.
Most engagements start small — a few weeks to get clarity — and grow from there.
Web design & development
Sites and front-ends, designed and delivered live.
- Marketing sites and landing pages
- Front-end build and delivery
- Responsive and accessible by default
- Redesigns of existing sites
Product & UX design
Software interfaces people can actually use.
- UX and interaction design
- UI and design systems
- Prototypes that get tested
- Design-to-development handover
Software consulting
Working out what to build, and what to skip.
- Product scoping and roadmaps
- Technical direction and audits
- Where AI tooling genuinely fits
- Working alongside your developers

and small teams
How I work
Small steps, in order.
Get the picture
A short call, then a focused look at your product, users and constraints. You get a written read on what's actually in the way.
Make it visible
Flows, wireframes and working prototypes, fast. Nothing convinces a team like something they can click.
Ship and adjust
Built and handed over in a state your engineers can work from — and I stay close while it goes out.
Leave you better set up
Design systems, decision records and the habits that keep the next release moving without me.
Get in touch
Tell me what you're building.
A short email is enough to start. I'll come back with whether I can help, and what the first few weeks would look like.
Engagements run one to six months, billed by day rate. Based near London, working with teams remotely across the UK and Europe.
