Santa Cruz web design that solves real business problems

Why Santa Cruz companies can’t afford bad UX

In Santa Cruz’s fast-evolving tech and e-commerce landscape, UX is a revenue multiplier. Slow onboarding, unclear flows, or generic interfaces quietly kill conversion and retention. At Lazarev.agency, we design product experiences that fix these leaks before they cost you growth.

Our work has driven 300% conversion lifts, 130% sales growth, and millions in funding for product-led businesses. We redesign UX to reduce cognitive friction, shape user behavior, and unlock value at every touchpoint. Because in Santa Cruz, your users won't wait and neither should your UX.

Who we build for

We bring interface clarity to industries that can’t afford confusion.
