Our story
In 1998, a couple of friends decided to start a tech company. It was the height of the dot-com boom in Sweden, later known for going bust. The company was named E-Space, which nowadays might sound like it has something to do with outer space. It didn’t. But back in the ’90s, it was a great name.

As Extellio, our mission is to provide the best possible insights about a website and its users. We do this by combining all available sources of UX data, alongside both artificial and human intelligence, to create one integrated service. Our client’s insights have to be meaningful, valuable, and actionable. They need to help improve user experience, enhance customer journeys, and increase conversion.
