Branding Review from Polly Macadie
A great team to work with, responsive, thoughtful, creative and timely delivery. My team and I had a great experience working with U1CORE, in particular, Alex, Anton and Maria. They took the time to understand our needs and our approach, gave us ideas when we needed them, and produced a great brand design and logo. We are so happy with their work we will use them to take the design further and recommend them to anyone looking for professional and creative work.
Helen Guzenko Business Development Manager at Wezom

Web Design Review from Helen Guzenko
We engaged U1CORE to develop and build a scalable, multi-sided marketplace platform. They were fully responsible for the product design and front end, while our team handled the back end, and their expertise in the marketplace space was evident from day one they understood the dynamics of interaction between buyers and sellers without needing a detailed explanation of the underlying principles. They provided a needs analysis, complete UX/UI for all key workflows, a reusable design system, and a responsive front-end built on React, integrated with our CMS. The platform launched on schedule, the time it took to onboard sellers was significantly reduced, and the design system accelerated our internal work on future features. Project management was top-notch clear sprints, proactive communication, and quick responses when we had to reevaluate priorities. It felt as though we were working with an extension of our own team. We highly recommend them to anyone building a complex marketplace product.

Branding Review from Anonymous
Complete branding package including: - Logo.- Corporate color palette.- Visualization color palette. - Font selection.- Visual identity. - Complete website aligned with corporate identity/brand. - Copy written by owner with editing and feedback from Human Creative.Items were delivered on time with punctual virtual meetings to go over deliverables. They were responsive and very professional. They communicated production timelines and stuck to them. The templates they used to collect information and their use of Figma as an interactive design board made the process very easy.The energy sector is very technical and my company is not a standard tech start up. Human Creative clearly did their homework to make sure that they understood the attitude of the sector when creating the branding for my consultancy. The team settled on a concept and design which will inspire trust yet remains modern. They were great to work with and I look forward to continuing to go to them for future website and visualization needs.Everything has been great thus far!

Webflow Review from Melissa Valentino
We've partnered with Curio Digital for about five years, and they have become one of the most trusted extension teams we work with. As a creative agency, having dependable development partners is critical, and Curio consistently exceeds expectations. They have supported TDH Creative on numerous Webflow website projects, and the quality of their work is exceptional. Their development is clean, thoughtful, and technically sound, but what really sets them apart is their communication and project management. They're responsive, proactive, transparent, and consistently deliver on what they commit to. As an account lead, that level of reliability makes a tremendous difference. Curio has also been incredibly collaborative throughout the creative process. They work seamlessly with our designers and strategists, offering solutions when challenges arise while always respecting the creative vision. They don't simply execute requirements they think through the best approach and genuinely care about delivering the best possible outcome for both us and our clients. Another aspect I appreciate is their pricing. They provide outstanding value for the quality of work they deliver, and I've always found them to be fair, honest, and transparent when it comes to estimates and project scope. If you're looking for a Webflow development partner that combines technical expertise, exceptional communication, reliability, and a true collaborative spirit, I would highly recommend Curio Digital. They've been an outstanding partner to TDH Creative, and I look forward to continuing our relationship for years to come.
Andrew Stiefel Director, Product Marketing at Endor Labs
5.0★
B2B Review from Andrew Stiefel
The Curio team has helped us evolve the Endor Labs website from selling a single product, to a single buyer, to selling multiple products to the full enterprise buying committee. Part of that included building product-led experience for platform engineers and developers alongside our existing inbound sales motion for security teams, and rapidly evolving the brand and content. The team is incredibly responsive, often turning work around same day or within a week as we prepare for major industry events and respond to industry shifts. They're fantastic partners, great humans, and I couldn't recommend them faster!

Avi and the team at Vertex are really one of a kind! Our company undertook to challenge a well-entrenched market leader of 15 years, of a $20,000 product, by coming up with a better product and design, that avoided patent issues and was better both functionally and aesthetically.they worked through multiple iterations with super. creativity and elegant design details.even to the smallest detaill. It was a big success! Over the last years we’ve sold millions of dollars of these systems. without needing any modifications and without even a dedicated salesperson! Because the product is that good. If you want professionalism, extreme diligence in problem solving, creativity in design, and a deeply caring development partner, I’d recommend to you the Vertex team without reservation!

I had the experience of working with Vertex on cutting edge projects. The principle of the business is not only a top-notch professional in his field, but also has the rare ability to think outside the box on how to generate important improvements and product functionality.

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.

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.
