The parachute team helped us completely re-design and re-build our website onto a WordPress platform. Goals of the project including representing our new brand identity, making our offerings more discoverable by both site architecture and SEO and creating an easy to use site we can maintain internally.

WordPress Review from Rui Caluz
Weve been working with Parachute for over five years, and they have been an excellent partner throughout that time. They developed our McMillan WordPress website and have continued to provide reliable support and guidance ever since.
Their team has a strong understanding of the professional services sector including the legal industry which has helped us not only maintain our website but also leverage it more strategically using the right tools and best practices.
What truly sets Parachute apart is their responsiveness and hands-on approach. They are quick to assist, proactive, and consistently make us feel like a priority rather than just another client. That level of personal attention and partnership is rare and greatly appreciated.

Android Review from Mika Martin
I was highly pleased with my work with Pieoneers. Especially, with the level of attention and care I received. This stands out to me as I've worked with several highly skilled tech teams. Pieoneers stands out as leaders and early adopters in AI. They helped me take my Claude built prototype to a new level. Earn It is a productivity and self-motivation app. We aim to work with users across all platforms. We started with Android and Pieoneers is helping us add the iOS platform as well. Optimal backend architecture is also highly important and that's why we needed their expertise. Moreover, I appreciated how Pieoneers advised on our overall user experience and user onboarding. We have a lot ahead of us and the roadmap is regularly reviewed and adjusted. It's nice to have clarity and transparency as to the project phases to come. I highly recommend the Pieoneers team to founders and companies who are starting to build with AI and need a tech partner to support them and help evolve their products!

Web Development Review from Viktor Soloviov, PhD
I have been working with Pieoneers for years on several AI and software development projects. Throughout that time, I have always been bringing research ideas and technical challenges to the team while they provided the engineering expertise to turn those ideas into working products. Our most significant collaboration has been Teresius AI, an AI-based financial market forecasting platform for cryptocurrency and Forex markets. The project started as research into applying neural networks to financial forecasting at a time when many of today's AI development tools did not yet exist. There were no established solutions, so success depended on experimentation, iteration, and a willingness to explore new technical approaches. Pieoneers developed the platform end to end, including the backend architecture, AI implementation, web application, server-side forecasting logic, and Telegram bots that generate forecasts across multiple timeframes. As the research evolved, the team continuously adapted the implementation while keeping the long-term product vision in mind. What impressed me most was their ability to solve technically difficult problems. They successfully applied new AI technologies to solve tech challenges and consistently turned research ideas into practical software. Discussions were always open and constructive. They were able to evaluate different approaches, explain trade-offs, and refine the applications. Today, Teresius AI is an active production platform used by financial market professionals and advanced users. This year alone, it has delivered more than 50,000 financial market forecasts, demonstrating that the research has evolved into software with real-world value. I have found the team to be technically strong, responsive to feedback. I would confidently recommend them to organizations looking for a software development partner capable combining AI technologies with practical software engineering.

Web Development Review from Vanessa Vanderzalm
As a client of Pieoneers, I feel it's important to share the remarkable journey we embarked on together with their team on a groundbreaking healthcare initiative. From our first interaction, it was clear that Pieoneers stood apart, thanks to their direct and impactful communication. This was a cornerstone of our project's success, enabling us to navigate our ambitious goals with clarity and precision.
Pieoneers didn't just understand our vision; they amplified it, crafting a platform that wasn't merely user-friendly but truly transformative. Our collaboration was built on a foundation of mutual respect and a shared ambition to drive meaningful advancements in healthcare.
Their commitment to our project and depth of technical knowledge were evident throughout. Yet, what truly set Pieoneers apart was their agility. Despite our different time zones, they responded to requests for changes with remarkable speed. It underscored their global mindset showcasing that, indeed, anyone, anywhere could successfully partner with Pieoneers.
Working with Gene and the team was a highlight for me. Their creativity sparked innovation, even as we navigated the complex regulations within our field. Changes, often a source of delay in projects, were handled with exceptional adaptability. Despite the numerous tweaks and revisions, our timeline remained unshaken. This agility and determination to maintain progress, without sacrificing the schedule or quality, was incredibly reassuring.
Our partnership with Pieoneers was not just about meeting project milestones; it was a shared journey of discovery and innovation. The outcomes of our collaboration have left me profoundly impressed. I extend my deepest gratitude to the entire Pieoneers team for their outstanding dedication and support. They've not just met our expectations but exceeded them, crafting not only a platform but a pathway to better healthcare outcomes.

Troy Web took over the maintenance and service contract for our in depth healthcare career information and job posting website. Their ability to seamlessly take ownership, clean up and bring our site into a stable wordpress environment was done not only quickly, but also flawlessly. During our time with Troy Web, a number of updates and additional features were required to be built. They were not only able to build these aspects, but also to correct past build issues in the process making the site more reliable on a daily basis. In the last 6 months of their service we didn’t experience any unforeseen downtime with our website, which is extremely important to the function of our site for those that access and use it on a daily basis. Troy Web provides an exceptional service with a team that is always available and very knowledgeable.

My husband and I own a start up and have worked with Aly, Justin, and Austin at Clique for a complete rebranding and website redesign and are now working with Jeff for continuous marketing and managing our ad spend. I can’t say enough good things about this team and this company. They are creative, innovative, dedicated, and they CARE. They treat our business as their own, asking thoughtful questions and guiding us through our growth. Our new site visits have conversion rates have skyrocketed, doing daily numbers that our old site and unstructured marketing did in months. I can’t say thank you enough to this team.

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.
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.
What’s the difference between branding, UX design, and product design?
Branding, UX design, and product design are closely related but focus on different layers of how a business creates and delivers value to customers.

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.
