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.

Digital Services Review from Liam Martin
We came to VMV with a difficult project: transitioning from agency to e-com, without even having a name for the new entity. Over an intensive four-month project, VMV provided an exceptional, professional service, delivering a comprehensive package of design, guidelines and templates for us to launch.Whilst the core of the project revolved around traditional brand identity, VMV delved into social media, web design, copy and more. They were flexible around our restrictions and daring where we had room. The result was a cost-effective solution that delivered on all fronts. 8 months on, we still have enough depth and variety in the templates to energize new content, and the team is extremely comfortable implementing VMVs direction on new styles too.I have and will continue to recommend them for anything 2D.
Video Production Review from Benjamin Chan
I have had the pleasure of working with VMV Studio for several years now, and I can confidently say that they are an exceptional team that consistently delivers outstanding results. From the moment we engaged with them, their professionalism and dedication to their craft were evident.One of the most impressive aspects of VMV Studio is the quality of their work. Every project they undertake is executed with precision and attention to detail, resulting in high-quality deliverables that exceed expectations. Whether it's graphic design, video production, or web development, VMV Studio consistently delivers top-notch results that reflect their commitment to excellence.What sets VMV Studio apart from other agencies is their willingness to listen to their clients' needs and preferences. They take the time to understand our vision and goals, and they tailor their approach accordingly. This level of personalized service ensures that the final product not only meets but exceeds our expectations. Their ability to translate our ideas into tangible assets is truly remarkable and has been instrumental in helping us achieve our objectives.Another aspect of VMV Studio that deserves praise is their efficiency and timeliness. Despite the complexity of some of our projects, they always manage to deliver on time without compromising on quality. Their streamlined workflow and effective project management ensure that deadlines are met consistently, which is invaluable to our business.Overall, I cannot recommend VMV Studio highly enough. Their professionalism, commitment to quality, and exceptional customer service make them a pleasure to work with. If you're looking for a creative partner who will go above and beyond to bring your vision to life, look no further than VMV Studio. They have certainly earned my trust and loyalty, and I look forward to continuing our partnership for years to come.
Video Production Review from Joshua Renouf ☕️ ⏰
It's always a pleasure to work with the VMV team. They always offer such a personal experience and are always happy to jump on a call to make refinements to the final deliverables.

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.

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!

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!!!

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.

Graphic design companies help businesses communicate visually by creating assets used across branding, marketing, and digital products. Their goal is to keep your brand consistent and make your content clear, engaging, and easy to use.
Core services include:
Some graphic design studios also offer motion graphics, basic animation, and more advanced visual work depending on your needs.
The best way to work with a graphic design company is to follow a structured, step-by-step process with clear inputs, approvals, and feedback at each stage.
A structured process keeps timelines predictable, reduces costs, and ensures the final design aligns with your business goals rather than personal preferences.
Graphic design companies help your business look professional, communicate clearly, and turn attention into real results. They are not just creating visuals. They shape how people see and trust your brand.
Here is what they can do for your business:
Best graphic designers create a consistent visual identity across your website, social media, and marketing materials. This makes your business easier to remember and builds trust faster. A clear, consistent brand also helps you look more established, even if you are still growing.
Well-designed visuals get attention and keep people engaged. Designers use layout, colors, and structure to guide users toward key messages or actions. This leads to better engagement on social media, stronger campaigns, and more effective ads.
Good design makes it easier for users to understand your offer and take action. Clean layouts, clear messaging, and better user experience reduce confusion and help more people move from interest to purchase.
Design is not just a one-time cost. It builds brand equity over time. A strong visual system also makes future work faster and more efficient by allowing you to reuse templates, styles, and components instead of starting from scratch.
Before signing a contract, ask clear questions to confirm the agency’s experience, how they work, and how they will handle your specific project.
| Aspect | Graphic design company | Freelancer |
| Team | Multiple specialists (design, strategy, UX) | One person |
| Capacity | Handles large and ongoing projects | Limited availability |
| Reliability | Structured process and timelines | Depends on the individual |
| Skill range | Broad expertise across design areas | Usually specialized in one area |
| Scalability | Easy to scale work up or down | Hard to scale |
| Communication | Managed, often with account support | Direct but less structured |
| Cost | Higher upfront, better long-term value | Lower upfront costs |
| Best for | Branding, campaigns, and ongoing design | Small tasks, quick fixes |
You should hire a custom graphic design company if you want consistent quality, broader expertise, and reliable delivery, especially for ongoing or complex work. Agencies provide structured teams, defined processes, and accountability. They handle larger scopes, multiple assets, and long-term brand work more efficiently.
Freelancers work well for small, one-off tasks, but they rely on a single person, which limits capacity and consistency.

Graphic design firms price projects based on scope, complexity, and the value the work brings to your business.
Common pricing models include:
Graphic design companies typically charge between $100 and $150+ per hour, with total costs depending on the type and scope of work.
For one-time projects, pricing varies widely:
For ongoing work, many graphic design companies use monthly retainers:
Specialized design work, such as product or technical design, comes at a higher cost:
Most graphic design projects include a limited number of revision rounds, usually one to three, built into the original price.
These revisions include small adjustments, such as tweaking text, colors, or layout details. They help refine the design, not change the concept entirely.
If you request more rounds or major changes after that, designers typically charge extra, often using their hourly rate.
Most graphic design projects take anywhere from a few days to several weeks, depending on the type of work and its complexity.
The timeline also depends on how clear your brief is and how fast you give feedback. Most timelines already include up to three rounds of revisions, so delays usually happen when feedback is slow or the scope keeps changing.
Graphic design firms deliver files in different formats, so you can use the designs across print and digital channels without issues.
They usually provide two main types of files:
Vector files (scalable and editable) are used for logos and brand assets because they can be resized without losing quality:
Raster files (pixel-based) are used for photos and digital visuals where exact detail matters:
Some projects also include working files, such as PSDs for Photoshop designs or GIFs for simple animations.
All files are usually organized, so you can easily use them for websites, social media, or print materials without extra adjustments.
You can edit graphic design files only if the agency provides editable formats and gives you the right to use them. In most cases, agencies deliver final files that are ready to use but not easy to change. Editable working files are often shared only if agreed upon in advance.
Files you can edit (if you have the right software):
Files that are suitable for use, not editing, include:
Graphic design companies limit the availability of editable files for practical reasons. Some assets, like fonts or images, are licensed and cannot be transferred. Working files also reflect the designer’s internal process, so the agency doesn’t always include them.
If you need full control, you must define that requirement early. Ask for working files or specific formats in the contract. Otherwise, you will need the original graphic designers to make future changes.
By default, the graphic design agency retains copyright until it transfers it to the client under a contract.
In most cases, ownership depends on what is agreed upon in writing:
Even when ownership is transferred, some elements may still be restricted. Fonts, stock images, or third-party assets often come with their own licenses.
Without a clear contract, graphic design studios usually retain control, and clients have only limited usage rights.
