      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.

      Web Design Review from Dmytro Romaniuk

      Working with U1CORE on our investment banking website was an extraordinary experience. The process began with an initial meeting, during which they carefully studied our specific needs. They then provided a detailed project estimate, including the scope of work and timeframe, perfectly tailored to our project. They took care of every detail, and we were able to agree on all aspects, especially the inclusion of a non-disclosure agreement, which was extremely important to us. The U1CORE team was exceptional. We were introduced to a project manager who was always available and ready to help with any questions. Communication was seamless throughout the project. The designers assigned to our project were highly skilled professionals, which was reflected in the quality of their work. The project was completed on time, without any delays, which was a big plus for us. The end result exceeded our expectations the website was not only visually impressive, but also functional and tailored to the needs of our industry. Overall, U1CORE's attention to detail, efficiency, and professionalism made this collaboration a great one. We are very pleased with the result and highly recommend them for any web design needs.

      UI/UX Design Review from Alexey Cherevuta

      Working with U1CORE was an easy and productive experience. They took full ownership of the design side of the project, while our team handled the development. Their designs were delivered quickly, clearly structured, and matched business needs perfectly. Communication was smooth, the team was responsive to every request, and deadlines were always met. Thanks to this collaboration, we launched a product that was not only functional but also user-friendly and visually strong. I would gladly recommend U1CORE as a reliable design partner for joint projects.

      Brand Design Review from Rajeev Gopalakrishna

      ADPR worked on the first branding & design of Secureum as soon as it was founded. Anand and team did an amazing job in understanding Secureum's role in the Web3 ecosystem and incorporating domain-specific aspects into all the collateral used across its services. Secureum's logo and its brand are now well recognized in the global Web3 space thanks to ADPR. ADPR also drove the branding and design elements of Secureum's TrustX event held in Amsterdam and Istanbul. ADPR's innovative ideas, turnaround time, attention to detail, teamwork, communications, quality of deliverables, adaptiveness and operational excellence exceeded all expectations. Secureum continues to trust ADPR with its brand and design work.

      SGTech collaborated with ADPR on our 2022/23 and 2023/24 annual reports, and from the very beginning, they demonstrated professionalism and a great working dynamic. ADPR has a keen eye for design and brings creativity and versatility to every project, consistently delivering fresh and innovative ideas. One aspect that truly stood out was their willingness to listen to our input and incorporate our requests, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable process. They were incredibly flexible, adapting to our tight deadlines while maintaining high-quality work. Their professionalism was evident in their timely updates, and they consistently delivered on or even ahead of schedule. The entire ADPR team is hardworking, gracious, and a pleasure to work with.

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.
