The Client

&Circus is India’s first inclusive and body-positive underwear brand. With a strong online presence and over 95K followers on social media, they’ve built a loyal community. But while their brand was thriving on social media, their website wasn’t converting visitors into customers.

Creative Challenges

Despite a steady stream of traffic, &Circus was struggling with low conversion rates. Users were arriving at the website but abandoning their journey before reaching the checkout.

The challenge wasn’t just about aesthetics—it was about function. The shopping experience needed to be seamless, intuitive, and engaging while staying true to &Circus’s bold and playful brand personality.

Our Approach

A deeper dive into their analytics revealed another key insight: over 80% of their users were browsing the website from their mobile phones. This meant that a desktop-first approach wouldn’t cut it.

The brand needed a mobile-first experience that not only looked great but also made purchasing effortless. Here’s how we uncovered the real roadblocks.

What We Did

We dove into Google Analytics, heat maps, and user session recordings to figure out why users were dropping off. Turns out, the navigation felt messy, checkout was a hassle, and the mobile experience needed some serious love. During our UX sprint, we not only cleaned up the user flow but also tested a fun new feature - matching couple undies. Through wireframing and experimenting, we figured out whether it made more sense to keep them on the same page or give them their own spotlight, making sure the shopping experience felt seamless and fun.

Future-Proof Scalable UI

With this, we crafted a strategy to refine the user flow, improve accessibility, and create a design that truly reflected the brand’s personality. A major focus was on the landing page—it had to be more than just eye-catching; it needed to instantly engage users, highlight key products, and guide them seamlessly into the shopping journey. Every element was designed to make browsing effortless and the overall experience frictionless.

Branding

Beyond functionality, we also revisited &Circus’s branding to make sure it was consistent across digital platforms. While their social media presence was strong, their website lacked the same energy. We infused their signature boldness into the design—playful colors, confident typography, and vibrant visuals that resonated with their inclusive and body-positive messaging.

The result was a cohesive brand experience that felt fresh, modern, and unmistakably &Circus.

The cart dilemma

Since we weren’t sure whether matching couple undies needed a separate page, we turned to user behavior for answers. Our research showed that keeping them on the same page made discovery easier and the shopping flow smoother—so that’s exactly what we did.

The Results

After redesigning &circus' website and optimizing the UX, their conversions saw a significant boost, with users now engaging more effectively with the brand. The new design not only elevated their brand value but also made their offerings clearer and more compelling.

As a result, abandonment rates dropped, leading to a seamless customer journey that directly contributed to business growth. With a site that now works for them—not against them—&circus is thriving like never before.

FAQ

We’ve heard it all. Here’s everything you need to know before working with us.

How much does a UX design project with Groto cost?

Fixed projects start at US$5,000. Hourly engagements are US$50/hour. Share your brief so we can recommend the right scope.

How quickly can you start, and when will I see the first designs?

You can meet your designer within 24 hours and work starts immediately after. The 7-day free trial delivers a real design task from your actual backlog, not a mockup, so you see output in the first week. For Part-Time and Full-Time plans, a full UX strategy report lands within two weeks.

What happens if I do not like the designer or the work?

Start with the 7-day free trial before paying anything. If the fit is wrong, you walk away at no cost. After that, plans are month-to-month, you can request a different designer at any time, and you can pause for up to three weeks per quarter with credits rolling over. Cancel anytime.

Do I get one designer or a whole team?

You get a dedicated designer as your primary contact, backed by Groto’s 20-person studio. That means one consistent person who knows your product, with specialist support pulled in for research, brand, or development work without a new contract.

How do you measure whether the design actually worked?

Groto ties design work to product metrics agreed before the project starts, typically conversion rate, activation, task completion, and retention. On the IVHQ engagement, that produced a 2.3X conversion rate increase and 1.25X improvement in customer retention. Every engagement begins with a baseline measurement so the change is attributable.

Do you design UX for AI chatbots and conversational tools?

Yes. Groto designs conversational UX for chatbots, assistants, and support tools, covering the parts that break most often: turn-taking and interruption handling, streaming response states, fallback and handoff to a human agent, and tone calibration so the bot does not overpromise. The hard part is not the chat window, it is what happens when the model is confidently wrong.

Can your team handle UX for AI agents and copilot-style products?

Yes. Agentic and copilot products need patterns traditional UX does not cover: showing what the agent is about to do before it acts, permission gates on irreversible actions, human-in-the-loop checkpoints across multi-step tasks, and undo that genuinely reverses state. Groto has shipped copilot and agent interfaces for Camb.ai (AI dubbing) and Pathways (AI hiring). Trust calibration matters more than speed.

Do you help enterprises with UX for AI dashboards and reporting tools?

Yes. Groto designs data-dense enterprise dashboards and reporting tools, including AI-generated insights where the real design problem is explainability: showing why the model surfaced a number, letting analysts drill from summary to source rows, and flagging low-confidence output instead of presenting every figure with equal certainty. Enterprise buyers need an audit trail, not just a chart.

Is Groto a good fit for a B2B SaaS or enterprise product?

Yes. Groto specialises in complex B2B SaaS, enterprise internal tools and AI products, including dashboards, admin panels and data-heavy interfaces where information density matters more than visual polish. Current work spans AI platforms, fintech, healthcare and edtech, with clients across the USA, Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

What should I look for when choosing a UX design agency, and what are the red flags?

Ask for three things: a case study in your product category with named metrics, a trial or paid pilot before any long commitment, and direct access to the designer who will do the work. Red flags are portfolios with no measurable outcomes, contracts longer than three months with no exit, and account managers standing between you and the designer.

What does AI-first UX design actually mean in practice?

AI-first UX design means designing for products where the interface is non-deterministic: the output changes every time. That requires patterns traditional UX does not cover, including confidence and uncertainty states, correction and undo flows, streaming responses, prompt affordances, and graceful failure when the model is wrong. Groto has shipped this for AI dubbing, PR automation and AI hiring platforms.

How do I know your AI and ROI claims are real?

Every metric on this site traces to a named client engagement, not an internal estimate. The 4.9 rating comes from verified Clutch reviews you can read directly. For AI work specifically, ask to see the interaction patterns we shipped, not the visuals, since AI UX quality lives in error and uncertainty states rather than screens.

How does the 7-day free trial work?

Pick a real task from your backlog and Groto delivers it within seven days at no cost and with no card required. You keep the work regardless of whether you continue. The point is to judge us on output from your actual product rather than a curated portfolio.

Can you handle brand identity and marketing design as well as product UX?

Yes, and this is unusual for a product design studio. Groto's 12-person brand team covers brand identity, marketing design, landing pages and design systems alongside product UX. That means your product interface and your marketing site come from one team with one design system, instead of two vendors producing work that does not match.

Do you work across time zones, and how does that work day to day?

Groto's team overlaps at least half a business day with your time zone, so there is a real window for live calls and same-day feedback rather than a 24-hour round trip. We work with clients across the USA, Europe, the Middle East and Asia. Outside that window, progress moves through async updates, Loom walkthroughs and shared boards, so you always know where a design stands.
