      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.

      Small Businesses Website Development Review from Kris Meyer

      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.

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.

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?

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.
