Web Design Review from Kathleen Livingston
We recently hired Burst Digital to redesign and rebuild our company website. As we are in a competitive industry, we needed a site that was not only visually aspirational but also practical on the back end: easy to maintain and update. Burst Agency managed every aspect of the redesign process from copywriting and art direction to web design and technical execution.
What truly sets Burst Agency apart is their collaborative approach. Their team was consistently communicative, responsive, and results-oriented throughout both the design and build phase, and their support continued well beyond the launch. Their commitment to our project made them not just a service provider but a long-term partner in our success.
I highly recommend Burst Digital to any business looking to elevate its online presence. Their comprehensive service and dedication to quality make them a standout partner in today's digital landscape.

Web Development Review from Liz Ryan
Handbook handles our website development and web-based front end product development. From the initial concept to the final launch, the team always demonstrates a deep understanding of our needs, and delivers on the requirements quickly and completely.
If you're looking for a skilled, reliable, and innovative website developer, I highly recommend Handbook. They have been a fantastic partner, and we look forward to working with them again in the future!

Web Development Review from Victoria Lee
I can count on one hand the number of companies Ive worked with in my career that possess the same level of dedication, responsiveness, attention to detail, and trustworthiness as that of an internal team and thats because theres only one: Handbook.
First and foremost, Id like to say that if you're considering working with Handbook for your design and/or website development needs, you absolutely will not regret it. The Handbook team goes beyond simply executing our requests, which has not only been refreshing but has also been key to our growth as an online SaaS business.
Handbook genuinely cares about our user experience, website performance, and broader business goals. Instead of just implementing what we ask for, they actively evaluate our needs and offer thoughtful recommendations to improve our outcomes.
In addition to the quality of work and forward-thinking perspective, we know that we can count on Handbook to be there when we need them. From countless late-night sale asset takedowns to weekend staging QAs so we can feel confident about Monday morning launches, I have never experienced this level of communication and dedication from a company.
I would recommend Handbook time and time again to absolutely anyone in need of web development, design, or messaging support. These guys are a rare find and your only regret will be that you didn't start working with them sooner.

Web Design Review from Evangelia Davanos
Working with CMT Graphics has been a great experience from start to finish. Panos and Helen were responsible and reliable throughout the process of website (www.sapiencemed.com) and business card design. They focus on the vision of the client yet offer their thoughts for maximizing the reach of the final design/product to the appropriate audience. Additionally, they ensured that the right services were provided for the right budget which I appreciated. Would highly recommend them for website/logo and brand design overall.

Kirsten AD's Review Sourced from Google
I've enjoyed working with Artisan both on internal projects and being placed with clients through them. While they don't see the same number of roles as some of the bigger companies, they do tend to get jobs with higher pay rates than some of the other staffing agencies - and definitely advocate for the talent when it comes to dealing with clients. I would definitely recommend getting in touch if you're looking for work in a digital/creative role.

I worked for Artisan as a Contract Copywriter for more than three years. The team did an excellent job finding me a contract with an outstanding company. In addition to a great placement, Artisan provided me with very good benefits, including 401K and some paid time off, which is unusual in the industry. I highly recommend Artisan to anyone who is looking for contract work.

In a world of agencies that are mostly out for a quick buck, they build relationships on both the client and talent side. It is a refreshing change of pace to see such integrity. They are fair and honest people that I worked with for years. If you are looking for talent, or have a talent, I can not recommend them more.

From the outset, Hieu impressed me with his professionalism and his approach to branding. He managed to rebrand my food brand quite effortlessly and with great impact. With only a few rounds, Hieu created the branding I had only dreamed about! His attention to detail and great eye for design is extraordinary. We continue to work together as the brand grows and I very much looking forward to working together for many more year to come. I can highly recommend Think Big Design Group.

Working with Think Big Design Group has been a professional treat. Hieu deep dived into understanding my business to make sure the logo design and branding we developed represented what my company stands for, and he was able to translate my vision into a modern, sophisticated design. I'm grateful for Hieu's insights on customer perspectives, which was on point and valuable. And despite being in locations across the globe, the process was effortless.

Throughout my career I have worked with a multitude of designers and THINK BIG DESIGN Group's work is just at another level of highest quality work! If you have a chance to work with them, do it. You will be so glad that you did and your branding will be the best it can be.

Thompson & Prince delivers impeccable quality of bespoke content.
I'm the CEO of a startup biotech company and Thompson & Prince worked with me to create the level of branding that is appropriate for my company's stage and budget. They built a strong foundation that we can build upon as the company advances.
The team also helped me develop a corporate deck, partnering with outside consultants to support specific scientific needs that I had for the deck content. The final product of this challenging assignment is exactly what I had in mind.
I look forward to working with Thompson & Prince for years to come.

Thompson & Prince could not receive a higher recommendation from us! They are not only very talented in what they do, but also professional, responsive and 100% reliable. If you are looking to put a pitch deck together or enhance your current version, I would not hesitate to use this team!

I would highly recommend working with Thompson & Prince! I worked with the team to redo our (eye sore of a) pitch deck and they were absolutely phenomenal. It was clear that they understood what investors wanted to see and the health & wellness space more broadly. They worked within our brand guidelines to present different options for the look and feel of the deck. Once I selected an option, they iterated on the slides and quickly incorporated any feedback I had to create the final version. They were very communicative and speedy while delivering high quality work. They finished all of this in less than two weeks and would have finished sooner if I had given them feedback faster. They go above and beyond to make sure that their client loves the final product and to support your business as a founder. I thoroughly enjoyed working with them and they really surpassed my expectations. I would definitely work with them again!

Jackie and his team bring the perfect blend of professionalism and creative prowess to every project. They shot a spec for my Twitch channel, and it was one of the most comfortable, efficient, and, most of all, fun experiences I've ever had. The final product stunned my audience! If you can work with Aoki Studios, do it.

So we have recently dealt with Anthony at the company and had our website redesigned and manufactured. He made it a very very easy job and was very quick with the turnaround of work and had the website built within a short period of time and managed to put it live by the end of the week. I honestly cannot recommend him enough for the Quality Of work and the ethos to work that he had

Professional Website Design for Our Home Service Business!
We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Art of Media Design. As a Plumbing & HVAC company, we needed a clean, modern, and high-performing website to showcase our services—and that’s exactly what they delivered.
From the start, Anthony and his team were responsive, knowledgeable, and incredibly easy to work with. The site they built not only looks great but is also SEO-optimized, mobile-friendly, and AI-ready, helping us rank better online and convert more leads.
Anthony truly understands what small businesses in the home service industry need from a digital presence. If you're looking for a web design agency that knows how to build a site that works hard for your brand, Art of Media Design is the way to go.
Highly recommend!

I recently worked with Art of Media Design on a full website redesign, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. I’ve worked with other designers in the past, but these guys actually get it — not just design, but how to build a site that loads fast, ranks on Google, and looks clean on all devices.
I have family on Long Island and visit often, so I wanted to support a team local to that area. They specialize in Long Island web design, but honestly, they’re great no matter where you're located. The communication was smooth, the work was professional, and they delivered exactly what I needed — a website that finally works for my business.
If you're serious about getting found online and want a site that actually performs, Art of Media Design is the team to talk to.

What does a New York graphic designer’s client retention rate tell me, and how do I find it?
Client retention rate measures the share of paying clients who continue working with an agency over a given period. In essence, it reveals whether an agency sustains long-term client relationships or primarily works on one-off projects.
In creative services, a good retention rate commonly clusters between 70% and 80%, with top‑performing agencies sometimes exceeding 85%. For purely project‑based setups (including many design studios), retention is often closer to 50% to 70%. So, while the 70% to 85% band is plausible for a retainer‑oriented graphic design company in New York, it’s more of a ballpark than a universal standard.
The cleanest method to find out the rate is to ask the agency directly: “What percentage of your clients come back beyond the initial project?” or “What is your annual client retention rate?” You can also look for indirect signals in their portfolio: repeat appearances of the same brand across different campaigns or touchpoints strongly suggest ongoing relationships and are a reasonable proxy when hard numbers aren’t shared.
How does New York's design scene differ from other major creative hubs like California, and does that affect the work?
New York's design scene is distinctly commerce-driven compared to other major hubs. Graphic design companies in New York are greatly shaped by the demands of finance, fashion, media, and publishing, which means the work tends to prioritize brand authority, editorial precision, and market positioning over the more experimental or technology-forward aesthetics you often see coming out of California-based agencies.
These agencies operate in one of the most competitive and deadline-sensitive business environments in the world, which inherently produces designers who know how to work within brand constraints and deliver under pressure.
New York graphic designers, by virtue of their environment, tend to be fluent across a wider range of industries simultaneously, which makes them particularly well-suited for brands that need work to perform across both cultural and commercial contexts.
So, when evaluating a graphic design company in New York, it is worth considering whether their portfolio reflects the specific commercial pressures of your industry, because the city's diversity of influence is an asset only if the agency can channel it in a direction relevant to your business.
How much do these local specialists charge for their services?
Before budgeting for any creative project, it’s practical to know that the pricing for graphic design services in New York will vary based on whether you are engaging a boutique studio or a full-service agency.
The majority of graphic design companies in New York charge between $125 and $200 per hour, with more exclusive firms pushing rates up to $275 per hour. Here’s what to expect for different services:
Service
Average cost
Logo design
$300 to $1,500
Basic website design
$3,000 to $10,000
eCommerce website design
$5,000 to $50,000+
Single landing page design
$500 to $3,000
WordPress theme design
$1,000 to $5,000
App design
$3,000 to $30,000+
Icon design
$10 to $200+ per icon
Social media post design
$5 to $50 per post
Email template design
$100 to $500+
Infographic design
$100 to $2,000+
What are the most common hidden fees graphic design firms in New York charge that clients don't expect?
The most common unexpected cost is revision fees. Most graphic design companies in New York structure contracts around a fixed number of revision rounds, and any changes requested beyond that threshold are billed separately, often at the agency's full hourly rate.
Rush fees are also commonly underestimated, typically adding 25% to 50% to the project cost when timelines compress, and in a New York agency environment, where senior staff time is highly allocated, even modest deadline changes can trigger that surcharge. Third-party asset costs (stock photography, licensed typefaces) are also frequently excluded from the initial project quote and billed as pass-through expenses.
Who owns the final design files, and why does it matter if the agency retains the source files?
Ownership of final design files is one of the most consequential and least-discussed points in any client-agency agreement, and the default position of most graphic design companies in New York is that they retain the native source files unless the contract explicitly states otherwise.
What you typically receive at the end of a project are flattened export files (a PDF of your logo, a JPEG of your brand assets), which are sufficient for immediate use but leave you dependent on the original agency for any future modifications, scaling, or adaptations of the work.
The consequence of this becomes most visible when you need to resize a brand asset for a new application, launch a product extension that requires design adaptation, or simply switch to a different graphic design company in New York at any point. Not owning the source files means starting from scratch or returning to your original agency on their terms and at their rates.
The reason agencies retain source files is partly commercial, as it creates recurring revenue and client lock-in, but it is also sometimes framed as protecting the integrity of the work, preventing unskilled modifications that could compromise the design system they built. That rationale has some merit, but it should not come at the cost of your operational independence.
Will a New York agency's higher cost of operations automatically mean higher fees for me, and is that premium justified?
Higher fees in New York State are not automatically justified by the cost of operations alone, but the talent pool and professional pedigree the state produces, even outside of the city, do provide a reasonable basis for a modest premium over agencies in lower-cost states. Graphic design firms in New York often charge roughly 20% to 40% more than comparable shops in lower‑cost markets, and many clients accept that premium mainly for access to senior‑level designers with big‑brand experience.
The cost dynamics shift considerably when you move beyond New York City into the broader state. Agencies operating in Buffalo, Albany, Rochester, or Syracuse carry lower overhead than their NYC counterparts, which typically translates into more competitive fees without a proportional drop in quality.
That said, New York State still commands a premium relative to national averages, and for legitimate reasons. The state's design ecosystem outside of NYC attracts professionals who have trained or worked in highly competitive environments, many having come from New York City itself, bringing that same caliber of commercial thinking to markets with lower operating costs. In practical terms, you may access senior-level technical and creative work at rates that a comparable NYC agency would not offer.
