iPhone Review from Gabriel Sabadin
We engaged SolveIt to develop a minimum viable product (MVP) app, including a user-friendly iOS design, an artificial intelligence (AI) model, and a monetization strategy while ensuring General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliance and preparing for future integrations. Despite a tight deadline, SolveIt delivered the app on time and efficiently handled beta-testing within three months, allowing us to gather feedback and launch successfully. We acquired our first 1,000 users within a month of launching the app. SolveIt's team communicated effectively, addressed issues proactively, and maintained a high level of autonomy, bringing diverse expertise that greatly benefited our project. We appreciate the agency's dedication and professionalism.

Varinia Peñaloza Rivera's Review Sourced from Google
We worked with Show + Tell to build an innovative website that could elevate our brand through motion and animation. We needed a modern, scalable CMS built on a headless architecture to support future growth — and they absolutely delivered.
Despite a very tight timeline, the team handled the full website build, CMS setup, front-end development (using Next.js), micro-animations, and launch management smoothly and efficiently. Thanks to their close collaboration, daily progress calls, and hands-on project management, the launch was on time, fully tested, and technically high-performing — exactly what we hoped for.
What impressed us most was their can-do attitude and genuine commitment to achieving the best outcome for us. They were honest, upfront, and clearly experts at what they do, offering best-practice advice throughout. Even last-minute changes were handled without any drama — just smart solutions.
We couldn't be happier with the experience and are already looking forward to working with Show + Tell again on our next project!
Highly recommend.

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.
