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.

Branding Review from Tracy Warneke
Stop looking for a branding company. Fonder is who you want on your team!I went to Fonder because I had an idea of what I wanted my brand to be, but I wasn't sure how to properly communicate my vision to the world. The people at Fonder took the time to listen to my messaging and show that they clearly understood what my brand was, what it stood for, and what the world should see and feel when they look at it. Fonder took what I could only describe and made a tangible brand image and feel that truly resonates with the brand's vision and my customers. Fonder made the intangible tangible. Throughout the entire process, I was blown away at their professionalism, timeliness, and openness to accept feedback and work with me. I'm thrilled with what Fonder created, and I will be going back to them for any future work. I would absolutely recommend Fonder. Stop searching for a branding company. You've found the best one here!
Branding Review from Undisclosed
The challenge was to expand into a new division of the organization. The goals were the messaging, positioning, overall look/feel of the new division, and the creation of the assets to implement into the overall global website.The outcome was visual excellence. The commitment to learning our business and Tom's spectacular, overall creative direction is really second to none. His calmness, vision, and ability to drive the project forward with professionalism and creativity were appreciated.

Mad Dandy is a San Francisco-based startup. Division of Labor is our advertising agency and they helped up build and launch our brand from the ground up. They designed our logo and packaging and built our brand voice and messaging plan. Division of Labor handled our social media and video creation along with all our event signage and out of home. For a startup like us, its been great working with these folks. Cant say enough good things about their creativity and strategic thinking.
Digital Marketing Review from Michael Margolis
We engaged Division of Labor as our boutique advertising partner for Michigan Healthcare Professionals, and we were absolutely blown away by the results. Not only did the campaigns resonate deeply they elevated our branding and connected exceptionally well with our target audience.The work they delivered didn't just look great it performed. The campaign not only helped improve patient outcomes but also effectively promoted the benefits of utilizing non-facility-based imaging and laboratory testing. The messaging was clear, compelling, and perfectly aligned with our strategic goals.What impressed us most was how far beyond expectations Division of Labor went. Their creativity, responsiveness, and can-do attitude made working with them an absolute pleasure. No matter the challenge, their mindset is essentially: If theres a question, the answer is yes just tell us what the question is.We couldn't be more satisfied with the partnership and results, and we highly recommend Division of Labor to any organization seeking thoughtful, impactful, and results-driven marketing.

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!

Alex Liepman's Review Sourced from Google
MuteSix's website claims a "ROI-first approach" which certainly was not the experience I received. Prior to working with them I was achieving just over a 2x Return on ad spend (ROAS) and was looking to scale things up, which is why I came to them. During the period that MuteSix managed my ad account performance plummeted to 0.6 ROAS and they were spending vast amounts of money on consistently unprofitable campaigns, as well as overlooking key ad issues and overspending on the ad budget we agreed. I gave them multiple opportunities to turn this around and given my previous track record and the unique nature of the products I sell, it's incredible they couldn't even achieve break even. This shows a complete lack of skill and performance marketing knowledge within the team. Since taking back control I've increased the ROAS to 2.56 in just over a month and am now scaling the ad spend.Considering the claims on their website and the agency fees they charge this has been a terrible experience that would have put my company out of business if they continued down that road. If MuteSix is the 'leading agency in performance marketing' they claim and only achieves those results I must be some kind of wizard at performance marketing.UPDATE TO THEIR RESPONSE: they stated they'd contact me to 'ensure the issue is resolved', but in fact their Senior Director of Client Success contacted me and wanted a phone call for their benefit, to gather feedback to improve their processes moving forward, not to resolve the issue at hand. Once I responded I never heard from them again. Bit of a joke
Michelle Arnau's Review Sourced from Google
We have worked with MuteSix for the past 9 months and have had an exceptional experience. The team has remained consistent (which we are finding is rare at other agencies), engaged and responsive all while being best in class at their discipline. MuteSix provides a full service agency that is super helpful to build your business on - we started with performance marketing and are now using them for SEM and most importantly, they have been reasonably priced for these services (which has been critical for us as an early stage business). I highly recommend them.

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!

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!

From the moment I reached out to them, I knew I was in good hands.What sets Ethic Advertising apart is their genuine willingness to listen and understand the unique needs of your business. They don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions; instead, they take the time to customize their marketing strategies to perfectly fit your goals and objectives.I highly recommend Ethic Advertising for your marketing needs. Their stellar reputation is well-deserved, and I look forward to our partnership in the future.
Greg Leach's Review Sourced from Google
We talked to numerous marketing firms across the US and most were either inept or wouldn’t talk to us because we’re a startup.When I initially contacted Ethic, I was so used to having a bad experience with other marketing firms, I bluntly said “we’re a startup that needs a lot of help with brand recognition, but we’re on a very limited budget. Can you help?”. The owner Jeff said “let’s talk”. We spent the next hour discussing our business operation and different marketing strategies. We then had a follow up call in which Jeff came prepared with a full presentation and spent the afternoon explaining each line item step by step of how to execute our short term marketing goals. He did all this on his own time for nothing in return. We do not have an agreement in place and there's no guarantee of future business when working with a startup.I can't thank Jeff and the Ethic team enough. They will be our “go to” for all our future marketing needs but it's not because of the free time they gave us, but rather their level of expertise. Our company launched service in January 2023 and currently has 400 app downloads. I will give a follow up review in one year to showcase the value of this experience. If you’re looking for a high level marketing company contact Ethic.

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.
Rated 4.8 on Google and 4.7 on Trustpilot, DesignRush Agency Directory is a reliable resource for finding graphic design companies.

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.
