Web Development Review from Jaroslav Tyman Jr.
We contacted Zero Negative about a two stage renewal of our company website with a very aggressive timeline for the first stage. Zero Negative worked and guided us through pulling off the first stage within our timeline while also ensuring that the content and ideas for that stage were readily applicable to the full design. When we got to the full design, they were fully responsible for corralling the various preferences and ideas from our team into a well executed cohesive site. We're now in a good spot and look forward to continuing to work with Zero Negative as our business and needs grow.
Web Development Review from Susan E. Roberts
Zero Negative did an exceptional job designing my website, roberts-communications.com. From the start, they understood that this wasn't just about aesthetics it was about positioning, credibility, and clarity for a senior-level communications brand.They translated a complex, high-stakes business into a site that feels polished, modern, and authoritative without being flashy or over designed. The process was collaborative, efficient, and thoughtful, and they were responsive to feedback while also offering smart guidance when it mattered.The final result reflects exactly how I want Roberts Communications to be perceived: strategic, sophisticated, and trusted. I would highly recommend Zero Negative to anyone looking for a design partner who understands brand, not just web building.
Web Development Review from Anonymous
These guys are the best! We engaged with Zero Negative to develop a comprehensive web-based system for our factory that allows for managing orders, processes, and inventory. This initiative was essential for us to secure a big ticket client. We truly could not have accomplished this without their assistance. They dedicated considerable time to on-boarding and collecting the requisite information, followed by prototyping the software, and ultimately developing it from scratch. Overall, we are very satisfied.

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 DoseDouble 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!

Branding Review from Hannah Alstein
I had the pleasure of collaborating with the founder, Todd and his team to develop a comprehensive messaging and branding strategy, as well as to design a website for a sustainable event planning concept. Todd's attentiveness and ability to truly understand our challenges and the narrative we aimed to convey were truly commendable. He effectively captured and communicated our story in a manner that felt authentic and resonated with our audience. Todd and his team's work exceeded our expectations and set a high standard for quality.
Digital Design Review from Shayan Bokaie
Todd and his team at Wolf&Whale are world-class designers and strategists who helped me build a product roadmap and website design. They are a very sharp, creative, and collaborative team that have a ton of impressive experience to help validate their approach. I was super happy with how timely they were in delivering mockups, research, and directional work. I'm looking forward to continuing our work with them as we launch our business in a few months.

Bob LiVolsi's Review Sourced from Google
At Vaccine Systems, we were under time pressure to get our website up as entered an incubator and a grant process for our Covid-19 related medical technology. In less than 3 weeks, Dos Mundos Creative stepped up and accomplished that. In our first meetings, they listened to and understood our needs. Not only did they provide a great-looking website, but they also sharpened our messaging and provided a logo for which we have received many compliments. All this accomplished in a matter of weeks! in the 8 months since then, we have had two minor issues of our own making pop up with the website. In both cases, Dos Mundos responded quickly and fixed the issue. We recommend Dos Mundos to anyone looking for a responsive and capable team to provide an up-to-date website with excellent graphics that appeals to the eye and tells your story well.
Cassie Shankman's Review Sourced from Google
I hired DMC right before Covid, and everything we had talked about in regards to design and branding I was ready to throw out the window as my whole world had shifted. I am a musician and I do live events and with Covid, I had NO idea what to do. Kana and her team met with me regularly throughout 2020 helping not just talk about my website (which I hired them to do), but go above and beyond and help me with everything – pivoting, new ideas, how to build on what I have, mental health... I MEAN EVERYTHING).They truly gave me so much life through a very dismal time. I felt inspired and excited for what could come next, even if it might have to wait for 2021. They worked with my budget and created something magical – even better than what I could imagine. I have had some hiccups on my side, and they've been there all along responding very quickly! I truly don't know what I would have done without them. They take my crazy ideas and flow and turn it into something that is very easy to understand.Dos Mundos Creative is more than just a branding, website design/building agency... they are the real deal and the full package and make you feel just as important as a client with a huge budget. I am so grateful I found them and grateful to continue to work with them. They are my GO TO!!! And it's female-founded, so that's also a plus in my book!
Chris Sica's Review Sourced from Google
Dos Mundos did an incredible job of taking our brand and media assets and transform them into something that we were finally proud of and that got our message across. They are fast, effective, and intuitive as a team. They were also able to take our guidance and think outside of the box coming up with ways of presenting our ideas that were more succinct and beautiful. Thanks Kana, Parker, and Dos Mundos!

Our non-profit worked with True Fit Marketing worked with True Fit Marketing to update and rebrand one of our event websites. Their team was attentive, creative, and really went the extra mile to present and implement ideas we hadn't even considered. We are grateful to the True Fit Marketing team, their vision, and execution; and we look forward to working with them as we continue to grow this event to other locations.
Melissa Migliaro's Review Sourced from Google
I've been working with True Fit Marketing for a few years and couldn't be happier. Recently, they suggested a fresh website update might be a good idea. We got to creating the new website and even a NEW logo color. Their team is so talented at what they do, so we just trusted them throughout the process. We couldn't be happier with the final product. Highly recommend!!!
Megan Meyer's Review Sourced from Google
My business is called Oasis Senior Advisors in the Pittsburgh area and I really like working with Arlea and the team at True Fit. They are very responsive with emails and are constantly looking to get more visibility with my Facebook page. They are very good with helping me with Facebook posts and are always looking for ways to post videos of me out and about in the community. We have monthly or every other month meetings to review statistics of google searches and how we've performed online as well as talk about what's coming in the future that they can help with. A very strong group and look forward to continuing to work with them.

When working with top graphic design companies in the US, you can expect visual systems that shape brand identity, customer perception, and marketing performance across every channel.
They'll create logos, brand guidelines, digital assets, packaging, marketing collateral, and UI visuals to support clear and effective business communication.
Design companies help businesses:
According to Forbes Advisor's content marketing survey, graphic design is the most outsourced content service, with 47% of marketers outsourcing design work.
Consistent brand presentation can increase revenue by up to 23%.
Brands that maintain consistent visuals and clear messaging are 3-4 times more likely to stand out and be recognized.
Partnering with a professional graphic design agency gives businesses access to standardized workflows, reusable visual systems, and design expertise that scales across channels.
-content-webp.webp "Starting Cost of Graphic Design")
The cost of graphic design services in the United States starts at around $100-$150+ per hour or $1,000-$5,000 per project, depending on service scope, complexity, turnaround time, and designer experience level.
For instance, a basic branding package will cost approximately $5,000 to $25,000 and includes logos, colors, typography, and guidelines.
Conversely, a full branding package can range from $20,000 to $100,000+, including logo, visual identity, market research, brand strategy, and brand campaign materials.
Web design, on the other hand, can cost between $5,000 and $30,000 for a custom design and $50,000 to $200,000 for an enterprise build.
Additionally, graphic design companies charge an hourly rate of $100-$150 for package design and a project rate of $1,000-$50,000, depending on design complexity.
Beyond hourly and project-based pricing, some US graphic companies offer a subscription-based pricing model, where they charge a regular monthly retainer rate for a set of graphic design services.
Typical subscriber-based design services cost $500-$5,000+ per month, depending on service tier and agency expertise.

Making the right choice involves evaluating each company's process, expertise, communication style, and ability to deliver work that aligns with your brand's goals.
1. Define your goals and requirements
Clarify deliverables, timelines, and budget upfront, as clear scopes greatly reduce revisions and speed up delivery.
2. Shortlist agencies with relevant expertise
Use service categories and portfolios to identify agencies that specialize in the kind of design work your project requires.
3. Evaluate portfolios strategically
Look for scalable identity systems and consistent multi-channel execution, as recommended in industry best-practice agency selection frameworks.
4. Examine verified client reviews and credibility signals
Check verified reviews to evaluate an agency's reliability and communication.
5. Send a detailed RFP to avoid scope creep
Minimize scope creep by defining deliverables, acceptance criteria, target users, and workflows clearly in your RFP.
6. Assess each agency's onboarding and workflow
Prioritize teams with structured onboarding, which improves alignment and reduces delays.
7. Schedule discovery calls to test compatibility
Use discovery meetings to confirm strategic alignment, communication fit, and the experience level of the team you will work with.
8. Choose the partner that balances expertise, process, and value
Pick an agency with proven creative quality, efficient workflows, and reliable delivery. Those traits are critical for a successful design partnership.
