      Food & Beverage Review from Brett Dose

      Working with Reilly and Scott has been a true pleasure. Their expertise and knowledge of building a brand has been a pivotal step for me bringing my dry Bloody Mary seasoning mix to the retail market. Motif's willingness to work with me, and quality of work is impressive to say the least. I constantly receive compliments on the artwork, packaging, website design, and logo branding. Working with Motif was one of the smartest decisions I've ever made. Brett Dose Double Dose Seasoning

      Small Business Review from Wes Arola

      Motif took an unconventional approach to supporting my official launch and establishing an identity for my landscape architecture practice. The focus was setting myself apart from the rest, and signaling to potential customers and the general public what I produce, my level of service, and for WHO. Although the tangibles Motif created were awesome and fueled my launch, I value the advice, conversation and insight they offered from day one to encourage me to really get to know my business.

      Teresa Sullenger's Review Sourced from Google

      Motif Brands took all the thoughts and vision I have for the next chapter of my life and made sense of it all. Imagine a bunch of sticky notes and Reilly pieced them all together! He saw a vision beyond my own and provided additional thoughts and direction to make the path ahead possible. The business strategy services Motif Brands provides are top notch. He created my website 10+ years ago for my last chapter, I recommend both services. Plus Reilly's a cool guy!

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.
