Web Design Review from Julian Thiers
Peppermint helped us redesigning Payfree's website and web apps from the ground up. Their work included a fresh visual identity, UX/UI design and custom graphics explaining how our RFID platform supports checkout and store operations. What impressed us most was that they approached the project not only as a design task, but as a positioning challenge. They translated a technical, integration-heavy product into a clear and approachable story for retail, operations and IT decision-makers. Amazing work. The collaboration was smooth and well organized. Deadlines were met, feedback was implemented quickly and potential issues were raised early. The result gives us a strong and consistent foundation for our website, sales materials, marketing and outreach. We would gladly work with Peppermint again and do so on a regular basis.

Austin rebuilt our website from the ground up and helped turn Bespoke Tint & PPF into one of the top tint brands in Bellevue. The work started with a full redesign of our website, including branding, copywriting, conversion improvements, mobile optimization, and development. The new site immediately performed better and generated more leads after launch.
After the website launch, we continued working together on SEO, AI search optimization, paid advertising support, analytics, A/B testing, and ongoing marketing strategy. He also helped improve our review visibility, local search presence, and overall positioning online.
What started as a website project became an ongoing growth partnership focused on increasing traffic, leads, and customer acquisition.

Web Design Review from Janna Deloume
Denis designed the landing page for my brand, and did a fantastic job. He understood what I wanted right away and turned a rough brief into a page that looks premium and actually converts. Everything on my site flows exactly the way I hoped - clear structure, clean typography, and every section pulling its weight. No filler, no wasted space. His communication was excellent throughout. He kept me updated, delivered on time, and was always open to my feedback, often suggesting smarter options than what Id asked for. Great value and a smooth process from start to finish. I'd gladly work with Denis again and recommend him to anyone who needs a landing page thats both beautiful and built to convert.

Our law firm has been working with JV Media Design for about 13 years. Sherry and her team helped us to develop a fantastic web site that was truly customized to our business. The website has generated a large number of good clients for us over the years and helped us grow significantly. Sherry is unique in that she is true designer and also is practical when it comes to helping businesses present themselves most favorably. She is also extremely responsive to requests/emails. Overall, we would strongly recommend JVM Design and Sherry. Really a great team to work with!

Jay Bell's Review Sourced from Google
I’m a fairly tech-savvy guy, and for the past decade, I’ve been using a web site for my business that I cobbled together using purchased themes. I’ve tried a variety of them, but they never quite did what I wanted them to. My frustration increased until I basically stopped using my site entirely. This meant the customers stopped going there too. Embarrassed of my company’s public appearance, I finally decided that it was time to bring in a professional. Sherry and the team over at JV Media Design turned out to be the perfect choice. Their reputation was stellar and the price was competitive, but I got so much more than a pretty new site.
Sherry encouraged me to really start thinking about what I wanted my website to accomplish. That sounded simple enough. I wanted customers to arrive and be dazzled. What then? Did I want the flow to direct them straight to my new eCommerce store? Or was I more interested in newsletter sign ups? Which aspects of my business did I want to prioritize? Working together, we were able to come up with a new layout. My site used to be a confusing mess of options. Now it’s streamlined to get the results I want most. Best of all, it finally looks good on mobile devices, which is absolutely crucial these days. Hiring a professional also helped me save time. I used to lose days if not weeks to updating my site, when I most definitely had more pressing matters to tend to. Working with Sherry and her crew, I was still involved in the process, but all the hard work fell on their shoulders. The result? A very happy customer with a stylish new site that is seeing plenty of traffic again. I cannot recommend JV Media Design enough!

They offer a mix of branding, digital product design, and creative services to help businesses build recognizable brands and user-friendly digital experiences, often combining graphic design, digital marketing support, and content creation.
Core services include:
Branding and brand identity: Creating logos, visual identity systems, brand guidelines, typography, and messaging frameworks. These services are widely used because a consistent brand presentation can increase revenue by up to 23%, according to marketing research cited in design industry reports.
Web design and web development: Building responsive website design, landing pages, eCommerce design, and front-end implementation, often supporting broader digital marketing and content marketing strategies.
UX (user experience) and UI (user interface) design: Usually accounts for 60-70% of agency offerings, according to many design agencies' insights. UX/UI design focuses on usability, research, and interface design for digital products such as websites, SaaS platforms, and mobile apps. Agencies handle user research, wireframes, prototypes, usability testing, and final UI designs, often applying innovative design approaches to improve usability and engagement.
Product and app design: Creating digital products such as mobile apps, SaaS platforms, and dashboards that combine UX research, interaction design, and prototyping before development.
Graphic design and marketing design: Producing marketing and communication assets, such as social media visuals, advertising creatives, packaging design, presentations, and editorial design, to support brand campaigns.
Design strategy and research: Providing strategic services such as design thinking workshops, product discovery, customer journey mapping, and innovation consulting to align design decisions with business goals. Some agencies apply concentric design principles, focusing on aligning user needs, brand identity, and product functionality around a unified experience.
How much do design services cost?
Design agency pricing varies by scope, seniority, and market, but most agencies sell work in three common ways: fixed project fees, hourly/day rates, or monthly retainers.
Most design companies charge $75-$250 per hour, while full projects typically range from $5,000 for small branding work to $100,000+ for complex digital product or website design projects.
In the United States and other high-cost markets, design agencies typically charge:
$100-$250/hr. for UX/UI and product design specialists.
$75-$200/hr. for general graphic design or digital design agency services.
Regional averages for UX/UI design in North America often range from $50 to $200/hr, depending on expertise and specialization.
Branding and brand identity
Basic brand identity packages: $5,000-$25,000 for logo design, typography systems, color palettes, and brand guidelines.
More comprehensive brand design projects can range from $ 5,000 to $30,000+, depending on the strategy work and deliverables.
Websitedesign
Smaller website design projects: $3,000-$20,000+, depending on the number of pages and customization.
Full website redesign projects typically cost $10,000-$200,000+, especially for large or enterprise websites.
UX/UI design projects generally start around $10,000 and can exceed $100,000 for complex products or SaaS platforms.
How long does a typical design project take?
The timeline of a design project depends on the type of service, project complexity, and the speed of feedback. Still, most professional design firm projects take between 6 weeks and 6 months from kickoff to final delivery.
Branding projects: 4-12 weeks, including research, strategy, and visual identity; larger rebranding solutions can extend to 3-6 months or more, depending on stakeholder involvement and deliverables.
Website design: 8-20 weeks to design and launch a website
UX/UI and product design: 2-6 months
Complex digital products, enterprise websites, or large-scale rebrands can extend timelines to 6 months or longer.
What’s the difference between branding, UX design, and product design?
Branding, UX design, and product design are closely related but focus on different layers of how a business creates and delivers value to customers.

How can I evaluate the quality of a design agency's work?
The best design companies demonstrate measurable business impact, strong design processes, and proven results across multiple projects.
Review the agency's portfolio and case studies to look for design projects that delivered measurable outcomes such as 25% higher conversion rates or 35% growth in daily active users after UX improvements.
Evaluate usability and user experience metrics, such as task completion rates that improve from 50% to 90%, time needed to complete key actions, customer satisfaction scores, and reduction in support tickets or errors.
Assess the agency's design process and research approach, check whether it includes stages like discovery and research, user interviews and insights, wireframes and prototypes, usability testing, and iteration and optimization.
Evaluate companies based on how well their work contributes to revenue growth, customer retention, or operational efficiency.
