About Trends by UX Connection

Democratizing Design Intelligence for Every UX Professional

We built the platform we wished existed—data-driven design insights accessible to every designer, not just those with six-figure consulting budgets.

Our Mission

Empowering UX Teams with Data-Driven Insights—Without the Hefty Price Tag

For too long, comprehensive UX trend analysis has been locked behind $40K+ consulting engagements or limited to subjective blog posts.

By analyzing 10,000+ performant, accessible websites monthly—sites that load fast and prioritize users—we provide market intelligence that Fortune 500 companies pay six figures for. Starting free.
