      Jawad Ali's Review Sourced from Google

      While working for Primus Pharmaceuticals, the company contracted AtticSalt to rebrand one of our medical food lines. The product itself was known for its safety and efficacy, but the agency felt that the brand's identity didn't quite reflect those traits. We were all shocked by the new proposed look and feel. AtticSalt did an incredible job capturing the essence of the brand and they were a delight to work with. I personally recommend AS to everyone since that project.

      A Google User's Review Sourced from Google

      We hired AtticSalt to help us with naming, messaging and branding for our interior design studio. We chose them because we felt they were best equipped to help us create something that stood out from the industry usual. Their team took the time to understand our needs and goals before diving into the design of our identity. We absolutely love how the brand turned out and they did an incredible job capturing our personality. It's the first thing that our new clients complement us on. Totally worth the investment!

      True Story Brewing Co.'s Review Sourced from Google

      We've had the pleasure of working with Deuce Studio on the branding and design for our brewery - True Story Brewing Co., and they've been fantastic from start to finish. They really took the time to understand our business, our values and the direction we wanted to take the brand, and consistently came back with creative ideas that exceeded our expectations. The quality of their work has been outstanding, from our beer can branding through to wider marketing assets, and we've had so many positive comments from customers since launching. They're easy to work with, responsive, and genuinely care about producing great design that drives more sales & has longevity. We'd have no hesitation in recommending Deuce to anyone looking for thoughtful, high-quality branding and graphic design. Looking forward to working together on many more projects in the future!

      Skyler Hallgren's Review Sourced from Google

      Working with the team at Deuce Studio was such a delightful experience. They were a pleasure to work with, have great design instincts, are well organized and professional, and produce truly top-notch design. It has been my absolute best experience so far communicating with designers. They just know how to produce beautiful work, they understand the logistical constraints put forth, and they find a way to draw the inspiration from your unique vision out of you. In short, working with Deuce Studio's work helped me convince my team that investing in quality design is a smart investment. I genuinely am looking forward to my next excuse to work with them again.

Frequently Asked Questions About Design Agencies

What services do design companies offer?

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.  

Website design

  • 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.
