ZERO NEGATIVE Reviews & Testimonials
Web Development Review from Jaroslav Tyman Jr.
We contacted Zero Negative about a two stage renewal of our company website with a very aggressive timeline for the first stage. Zero Negative worked and guided us through pulling off the first stage within our timeline while also ensuring that the content and ideas for that stage were readily applicable to the full design. When we got to the full design, they were fully responsible for corralling the various preferences and ideas from our team into a well executed cohesive site. We're now in a good spot and look forward to continuing to work with Zero Negative as our business and needs grow.
Web Development Review from Susan E. Roberts
Zero Negative did an exceptional job designing my website, roberts-communications.com. From the start, they understood that this wasn't just about aesthetics it was about positioning, credibility, and clarity for a senior-level communications brand.They translated a complex, high-stakes business into a site that feels polished, modern, and authoritative without being flashy or over designed. The process was collaborative, efficient, and thoughtful, and they were responsive to feedback while also offering smart guidance when it mattered.The final result reflects exactly how I want Roberts Communications to be perceived: strategic, sophisticated, and trusted. I would highly recommend Zero Negative to anyone looking for a design partner who understands brand, not just web building.
Web Development Review from Anonymous
These guys are the best! We engaged with Zero Negative to develop a comprehensive web-based system for our factory that allows for managing orders, processes, and inventory. This initiative was essential for us to secure a big ticket client. We truly could not have accomplished this without their assistance. They dedicated considerable time to on-boarding and collecting the requisite information, followed by prototyping the software, and ultimately developing it from scratch. Overall, we are very satisfied.

They typically charge $150-$200 per hour, based on DesignRush data.
Project-based pricing models (from DesignRush data):
- Logo & graphic design: $5,000-$20,000
- Brand identity & brand systems: $50,000-$100,000+

- Website redesigns: $100,000-$150,000+
- Product & UX/UI design: $75,000-$175,000+
In terms of project fees, most engagements fall in the $20,000-$100,000 range, though a significant portion of projects exceed $100,000, especially complex web, brand, or product design work.
What outcomes should businesses expect?
Top design engagements drive metrics. Typical results include:
- Revenue & leads: 84% of companies see higher revenue after improving design and CX. Good UX can boost conversions up to 400%.
- Brand impact: Consistent visual design increases brand recognition by 68% and consumer trust by 55%.

How do I choose the best design company in the US?
Selecting an agency is about fit and evidence. Key criteria:
- Outcome focus
Look for partners who tie design to your KPIs. Ask for case studies showing data (e.g. “We redesigned X page and conversion jumped Y%”). - Research & process
Ensure the agency conducts user research before design. Only ~50% of companies do, so this is a differentiator. - Technical expertise
Confirm that they design for usability, speed, and accessibility. - Systems and collaboration
Good agencies have mature design systems and clear feedback workflows. Ask how they manage scope, iterations, and cross-team collaboration. - Team structure and seniority
Know who will actually work on your project and how senior designers are involved day to day. - Request a roadmap or pilot
Top agencies can outline milestones, timelines, and expected ROI.

| Prototyping & iteration | 4-8 weeks | Wireframes through high-fidelity designs and testing. Top agencies run 2–4 prototype cycles; 3+ rounds reduce failure risk by ~50%. |
| Feedback & validation | 2-4 weeks (overlapping) | Client reviews, user testing, and refinements; one product redesign increased market share by 40%. |
| End-to-end delivery | 3-6 months total | Full execution from discovery to launch for a typical B2B website redesign. |
