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.

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.

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!

Caring Gene's Review Sourced from Google
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.

Agency Squid Reviews & Testimonials

Branding Review from Shira S
We partnered with Agency Squid to refine and elevate our brand identity for a SaaS platform in the B2B space. Operating in a competitive landscape, we needed strong positioning, messaging clarity, and a compelling visual presence to stand out.
From the very beginning, the Agency Squid team demonstrated a deep understanding of our market, challenges, and goals. They asked the right questions, offered valuable strategic insights, and walked us through a structured branding process that was both collaborative and efficient.
The outcome was a refreshed brand strategy that clearly communicates our core value, differentiators, and relevance to our target audience. We received high-impact messaging frameworks and creative assets that are now integrated into our website, sales materials, and marketing campaigns.
What we appreciated most was their thoughtful, ego-free approach and consistent responsiveness. Every milestone was met on time, and they were always open to feedback, ensuring we were aligned throughout the project.
This branding work has already improved our sales conversations, marketing performance, and overall brand perception. It was a seamless and professional experience, and were excited to continue working with Agency Squid in the future.

Agency Squid is truly unlike any other ad agency out there. There is no ego involved and they listen to what their clients needs are while still challenging them to think about things differently. The smaller but mighty team is well rounded and each bring a different perspective to the table. I would recommend them for any design/marketing, product promotion or special project. Doesn’t hurt that their workplace is so cool too!

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.

Jenson Nelson's Review Sourced from Google
Liminal PDX is hands down the coolest place I've discovered since moving to SW Portland. I stumbled upon this awesome novelty shop by accident and was like, “Whoa!” Y’know? “Whoa!” You KNOOOW. The store is full of curious, cool, and mysterious handcrafted items, most of which are made by the owner herself, Allison.
What's special (and about damn time) is Liminal’s dedication to embracing and celebrating the unique perspectives of neurodiversity. As a creative person who has had trouble finding "my people" since moving to Portland, I've never felt more at home in a space. Allison, who runs the shop, is welcoming and we became fast friends.
I attended one of her card-making workshops and had such a great experience. Everything we needed was thoughtfully provided, and people made scrappy collages while others made beautiful little masterpieces. It was inspiring to be part of such a diverse, creative environment. I also attended a movie night, complete with a projector, retro lawn chairs, and good energy.
Allison is a creative powerhouse and it's contagious. If you're looking for a welcoming, creative community or just want to find sick treasures - yes TREASURES, Liminal PDX is absolutely worth a visit. If you’ve made it to the bottom of this review, I will personally shake your hand if we ever cross paths. And if you don't like shaking hands, I will tip my hat to you. And if I'm not wearing a hat that day, will you please buy me one from Liminal so I can tip my hat to you?

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.
