Varvet developed a life insurance company's website with nearly 30 pages of design and animations. They designed the UI/UX, created wireframes, produced graphic designs, and worked on some codes.

Varvet helped the client boost page speed, improve actions taken, increase time spent on the page, and decrease bounce rates. Their team listened patiently and took their time to understand the client's challenges, enabling them to provide innovative options. They were also responsive and timely.

What is the team composition?

The personal contact with Varvet is impressive, especially with Kim. He always answers, even during vacation.

Our Story

Founded in Gothenburg in 2013, Varvet builds digital products where tech, design and business work together from day one. We believe the best products come from long-term partnerships — not handoffs. Our team of developers and designers are curious by nature, rigorous by habit, and always looking for what a product could become.

What Sets Us Apart

Same room, same conversation

Business, tech and design work together from day one — not in silos. Everyone who shapes the product is in the room together, exploring and crafting. That's how you build something that holds up.

We don't do drive-bys

We embed with your team, understand your domain, and stick around through the messy middle. The best digital products come from people who care enough to stay until it's right.

Craftsmanship in the age of AI

AI tools can write code and generate designs faster than ever. The hard part — figuring out what to build, why it matters, and how it should feel to use — that's still deeply human work. We're good at that part.

Commonly Asked Questions

We typically work with 3–5 clients simultaneously. Our team is deliberately small — around 10 people — so we can give each project the focus it deserves. We don't spread thin across dozens of accounts. Every client gets senior people who stay involved throughout the engagement, not juniors rotating in after the pitch.

We work in your tools, not ours. Most clients use Slack, and we join their channels as if we're part of the team. We run 1–2 week sprints with regular demos and retrospectives. You'll always know what we're working on and why. We don't hide behind status reports — we prefer real conversations about trade-offs, priorities, and progress.

We embed with your team rather than working in isolation. Business, tech and design sit in the same room — literally or virtually — from day one. We're not the agency that disappears for six weeks and comes back with a reveal. We explore together, prototype fast, test with real users, and iterate. Most of our client relationships last years, not months.
