      audiokonzept support&sales's Review Sourced from Google

      Since November of last year, SCHAU & HORCH has been supporting us in the further development of our brand – and we couldn't imagine a better partner. From the very beginning, the team not only understood our industry and our company, but also engaged deeply with our values, our goals, and our strategic direction. This is evident in every step we take together. They don't create short-term solutions, but rather a brand with a clear strategy and a long-term perspective. We particularly value the honest, collaborative partnership. Ideas aren't simply implemented, but developed further together and critically examined – always with the aim of achieving the best possible result. Communication, accessibility, and reliability are consistently top-notch. As a company in the event technology sector, a professional and authentic brand presence is of paramount importance to us. SCHAU & HORCH accompanies us on this journey with a great deal of creativity, strategic expertise, and an exceptional feel for brands. We look forward to continuing our collaboration and can recommend SCHAU & HORCH to anyone who wants to not only design their brand, but also develop it sustainably.

      Highly professional and reliable web development team! Webotixs did an outstanding job building our ecommerce website for Mexicon Group. The design is clean, modern, and fully mobile responsive. They set up all 5 product categories Beauty, Beverages, Household Essentials, Personal Care, and Vitamins & Supplements with proper product listings and smooth navigation. The website loads fast, looks great on all devices, and has a very user-friendly shopping experience. They also handled the complete setup including domain, hosting, and payment integration. Delivered within the promised timeframe and were very cooperative throughout the entire process. Would definitely recommend Webotixs to anyone looking for a professional ecommerce website at a great price. Thank you for the excellent work!

  • 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.

  • 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.

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.
