About the studio
What does MoodBook Studio do?
MoodBook Studio is a full-stack product design and development agency that takes SaaS products from rough idea to live, production-ready software. One team handles the entire lifecycle — UI/UX design, web and app development, performance, security, and launch — so nothing gets lost between Figma and code.
What services does MoodBook Studio offer?
MoodBook Studio offers seven core services: web and app development, UI/UX design, performance and security hardening, design systems, full-stack engineering, performance optimization, and brand and launch support. Ongoing product design is also available as a monthly subscription with no long-term contract.
Who does MoodBook Studio work with?
MoodBook Studio works with SaaS founders, startups, and scaling product teams that need design and engineering under one roof. Typical engagements include MVP design and development for founders validating product–market fit, redesigns of existing SaaS products, and ongoing design subscriptions for growing teams.
Does MoodBook Studio handle both design and development?
Yes — one MoodBook Studio team runs both sides. Designers and developers work from the same brief from day one, so the design that gets approved is the product that ships, with a pixel-perfect handoff from Figma straight to production code.
Does MoodBook Studio work with early-stage startups?
Yes. MVP design and development is a core MoodBook Studio offering, built for founders who need to validate product–market fit quickly. The studio takes an MVP from concept to a live product, then can stay on through a design subscription as the product grows.
How long has MoodBook Studio been operating?
MoodBook Studio launched moodbook.uk in November 2024 and has shipped 40+ products for clients worldwide. The studio's dated changelog at moodbook.uk/changelog documents its releases and milestones since launch.
Process and speed
How fast can MoodBook Studio ship a prototype?
MoodBook Studio typically turns an idea into a live prototype in around 7 days. From there the work moves through the studio's design → build → test → ship pipeline until it's running in production.
What does the MoodBook Studio process look like?
Every MoodBook Studio project runs through a four-stage pipeline: design, build, test, ship. Design and engineering happen in parallel on the same brief, which is how the studio keeps the idea-to-prototype window at roughly 7 days.
How does MoodBook Studio collaborate across time zones?
MoodBook Studio runs an async-friendly process with team members across the UK, US, UAE, and Pakistan, so progress continues around the clock. Clients get direct access to the founder, scheduled calls via Cal.com, and written updates that don't depend on overlapping office hours.
Who will I actually work with at MoodBook Studio?
MoodBook Studio is founder-led by Hamza Rasheed, who stays directly involved in every engagement. Calls are booked straight onto the founder's calendar — there is no sales layer between the client and the people doing the work.
Pricing and engagement
How does MoodBook Studio pricing work?
MoodBook Studio prices work in two ways: fixed-scope projects (like an MVP build or website) and a monthly product design subscription for ongoing UI/UX work. Exact pricing depends on scope — the fastest way to get a number is a short intro call, booked at cal.com/hamza-rasheed/moodbook.
Does MoodBook Studio require long-term contracts?
No. MoodBook Studio's design subscription runs month to month with no long-term contract, and project work is scoped and priced per engagement. Clients stay because the work ships, not because a contract says so.
What is the MoodBook Studio design subscription?
The MoodBook Studio design subscription is a monthly plan for ongoing SaaS product design — UI/UX, Figma design systems, and continuous product iteration. It suits teams that need senior design capacity every month without hiring in-house.
How do I get a quote from MoodBook Studio?
Book a call at cal.com/hamza-rasheed/moodbook, send a message through moodbook.uk/contact, or email hello@moodbook.uk. MoodBook Studio scopes the work on the call and follows up with a concrete proposal — no obligation.
Technology and quality
What tech stack does MoodBook Studio use?
MoodBook Studio builds primarily with Next.js, React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and Supabase, with Figma for design. On the infrastructure side the studio works across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, including serverless architecture, CI/CD pipelines, and PostgreSQL.
Does MoodBook Studio build with Next.js?
Yes — Next.js is MoodBook Studio's primary framework for SaaS marketing sites and product interfaces. The studio's own site is a Next.js App Router build, server-rendered for performance and crawlability.
Does MoodBook Studio do performance optimization?
Yes. Performance optimization is a standalone MoodBook Studio service covering load times, Core Web Vitals, caching, and smoother interactions — the studio's average load-time cut across client projects is 42%.
Is MoodBook Studio's work accessible?
Yes. MoodBook Studio builds to WCAG 2.1 AA — ARIA labels and landmark roles, full keyboard navigation, and compliant colour-contrast ratios are part of the standard build checklist, not an add-on.
Is MoodBook Studio's work secure and production-ready?
Yes. MoodBook Studio bakes in secure coding standards, testing, and clean architecture from day one, and client products run at 99.9% production uptime. What ships is built to hold up under real users, not just demos.
Results and proof
What results has MoodBook Studio delivered?

Published examples include a support platform redesign that cut resolution times 71%, a 2M+ document knowledge base rebuilt to load in under 600ms, and a brand refresh that 4×'d organic signups in one quarter.
