Love this woman-founded company! The staff at YellowDog is incredible easy to communicate with, and they are highly responsive. Went in-person to see some proofs and to to snuggle some pups in the process. Their team provides little gifts and thank yous for doing business them. The epitome of class! Don't pass up the chance to work with them!

Synergetic Media Reviews & Testimonials
Ross Day's Review Sourced from Google
Working with Ginger and Synergetic Media was an absolute game-changer for Oasis Landscapes & Irrigation. We came to them with a vision for a fresh new logo, branding, and website, and they brought it to life better than we could have imagined. Their creativity, attention to detail, and ability to capture our identity were spot-on.What really stood out was their adaptability. We had a few (okay, maybe more than a few) tweaks and changes along the way, and they rolled with it like pros—never missing a beat. Their team took our feedback in stride, refining every detail until it was exactly what we wanted.The final result? A brand and website that not only look amazing but also truly reflect who we are. It’s clean, professional, and engaging—everything we hoped for and more. Plus, their communication made the whole process smooth and stress-free.We were so impressed with their work that we’ve kept Synergetic Media on as our go-to marketing firm. They now handle our SEO, print materials, and ongoing website updates, ensuring our brand stays strong and our online presence continues to grow.If you need a marketing team that’s creative, flexible, and genuinely invested in your success, Synergetic Media is team to use.
Darlene Paulen's Review Sourced from Google
Our experience with Synergetic Media has been a game changer. Ginger helped us redo our entire website and the results are amazing. It has given us more traffic on the website, more than we hoped. If anyone is looking to get further in business and more visibility, then Synergetic Media is the company for you. Highly recommend.

Hiring Guide: How to Choose a Leading Design Company in the US
How much do top design agencies charge in the USA?
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 design (custom): $20,000-$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%.
- Engagement & retention: A user-friendly, responsive design can improve engagement by ~20%, encouraging repeat purchases and referrals.
- Operational efficiency: Design systems reduce development costs by ~20–30%, by speeding content publishing and lowering long-term maintenance.
- Trust & compliance: Accessible UI mitigates legal risks through Web Vitals and accessibility compliance.
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.

- The agencies listed get notified of their profiles on the website and they can choose to claim it or not, which suggests their availability for more collaborations.
Agencies can also reach out to DesignRush and must go through the verification process prior to being listed.

- About 84% of companies that invest in better design and CX see higher revenue.
- Adobe’s Design ROI Study found that design-centric S&P 500 companies outperformed the index by 228% over 10 years.
These trends are seen across tech, healthcare, finance, and more, proving how high-quality B2B design differentiates offerings and drives business value.
What services do these agencies typically provide?
Top design agencies offer end-to-end creative solutions, including:
- User research & strategy: Leading firms spend heavily on discovery. 85% of successful design projects start with a thorough research phase.
- UX/UI & prototyping: 60% of high-performing teams prototype early, often delivering interactive mockups by weeks 2-4 to reduce costly rework.

How much do US companies typically invest in design?
Most U.S. B2B companies allocate 5-15% of revenue to design, UX, and marketing combined. For example, a company earning $60,000 annually may invest $3,000-$9,000 in these areas.
The returns can be massive: one study found $1 invested in UX returned ~$100 (a 9,900% ROI).
Which industries most commonly use design services in the US?
Design firms serve all sectors, but demand is especially high in tech-driven and trust-sensitive fields:
- SaaS & technology: Simplify complex platforms, improve onboarding, and drive adoption. For instance, small usability changes have driven up to a 25% increase in sales for one gaming company.
- Healthcare & life sciences: Design agencies focus on patient experience, clinician workflows, and accessibility standards (e.g., WCAG).
- Financial services: Improve digital experiences and support compliance across banking, fintech, and insurance platforms.
- E-commerce & retail: Produce conversion-focused design for websites, mobile experiences, and digital storefronts. 65% of businesses say design should be consistent across digital and physical touchpoints.
- Manufacturing, logistics & B2B: Modernize legacy websites, product catalogs, and buyer portals.
What are the average project timelines?
Project duration depends on scope, but data suggest heavy upfront work and iteration cycles:
| Project phase | Typical timeline | What happens |
| Ideation & discovery | 1-2 weeks | Research, workshops, and concept development. 73% of design teams spend 4+ hours on ideation; many dedicate 1+ full day per project |
| 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. |
