UX design for Malta's fintech and online businesses

frame387 is a design studio from Bosnia & Herzegovina, in the same time zone as Malta. A lot of Maltese companies run regulated online products like payments, fintech and gaming, where small drops in sign-ups cost real money. We design those products and their websites so people trust them and finish what they started.

When people don't trust it, they don't sign up

In regulated industries people decide in seconds whether something feels safe. Clear fees, visible licences, verification steps that explain themselves and honest error messages help more than any banner.

We combine conversion work with product design. We find where people drop off, redesign those steps and measure the result. We don't use dark patterns. They might bump a number for a month, but they cost you trust and cause trouble with regulators.

Who we usually work with

  • Fintech and payments

    Onboarding, KYC and transaction flows that are quick and still feel secure.

  • Online gaming

    Clear, fast interfaces that take responsible play seriously.

  • Online stores

    Checkout and account pages that lose fewer people on mobile and desktop.

  • Conversion work done step by step: audit, idea, design, test, measure.

What a typical project costs

Take a website redesign: research, design in Figma and a finished Webflow site with CMS. That's usually around 120 hours of work. Here's roughly what it costs with an agency in Malta and with us.

Typical Malta agency

€10,200

120 h × €85/h (estimate)

frame387, from Bosnia & Herzegovina

€6,000

120 h × €50/h

That's about €4,200 less, or 41% of the budget, for the same work done by senior designers.

We couldn't find solid public data on agency rates in Malta, so the local figure is our estimate. This is an example, not a quote. Every project is priced separately after a short call.

Frequently asked

Have you designed financial products?

Yes. Tőzsdémánia, an app for a stock-market mentoring programme, and Awaypay, a money app for airline crew. In both, the design had to earn people's trust first.

Can you raise conversion without dark patterns?

Yes, that's how we work. We remove friction and doubt instead of adding pressure. Conversion goes up and you don't get into trouble with regulators or customers.

Can you design around KYC and compliance rules?

Yes. We design verification and onboarding around your requirements and explain each step clearly, so fewer people give up halfway.

Are you based in Malta?

No, we're in Bosnia & Herzegovina and work remotely with Maltese companies. Same time zone, everything in English, and we can visit for workshops on bigger projects.

Can you audit our current product?

Yes, a conversion audit is a common first step. You get a list of problems ranked by impact, redesigns for the biggest ones and a plan for testing them.
