Web Design Review from Yenni Maelianawati, Dip. IDM
Working with Sonya and the Lucent Arc team on the Island House website revamp has been an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Sonya brings an exceptional eye for design her ability to translate our brand essence into a clean, modern, and intuitive digital experience has elevated our website tremendously. The visual direction, layout refinements, and thoughtful user journey enhancements have all contributed to a site that feels both beautifully crafted and strategically aligned with our guest experience.
The project itself has been remarkably smooth. Timelines were clear, communication was consistent, and every stage moved forward quickly without any friction. There were no hiccups, no delays, and no pain points just a seamless, collaborative process where feedback was understood immediately and implemented with care.
Sonya's professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail made this revamp not only successful but genuinely enjoyable. We're incredibly pleased with the outcome and grateful for the partnership.

Design Services Review from Guy Campo
We are extremely pleased with KEXINO's design of our hospital's website. From the initial consultation to the final launch, their team demonstrated exceptional creativity, professionalism, and attention to detail. They took the time to understand our goals and translated them into a visually appealing, user-friendly, and functional website that perfectly represents our brand.
KEXINO's approach to responsive design ensures our site looks and performs flawlessly on all devices, providing an excellent user experience for our patients and visitors. The seamless integration of key features, such as appointment scheduling and patient portals, has greatly enhanced our online services, making it easier for users to access vital information.
Their expertise in healthcare-specific design considerations, including accessibility and HIPAA compliance, was evident throughout the project. We highly recommend KEXINO to any healthcare provider looking for a modern, professional, and effective online presence.

Karolina Krasowska's Review Sourced from Google
We are truly happy to recommend Piotr and his team. From the very first workshops to the final delivery, we felt we were working with people who genuinely listen and deeply understand brands. The team created our entire visual identity from scratch and gave a clear, distinctive character to a large, multifunctional space with many different services – which was a major challenge.
The results exceeded our expectations. They delivered a cohesive and refined concept including murals, signage, wayfinding, posters, and many other visual elements.
The cooperation was smooth and efficient – we quickly found a common language, revisions were minimal, and all our expectations were fully met. A highly professional, creative, and reliable team that we can wholeheartedly recommend.

My acquaintance with TeddyGraphics started more than 3 years ago when Piotr asked me for help in animation of one of his projects. From that moment our cooperation became quite close and I never refuse to help. I am always provided with a detailed guide and instructions on how and what exactly I need to do and also they always give me the necessary help if I have any questions or difficulties. In general for me as a freelancer to work with TeddyGraphics is always a pleasure, as they really appreciate my time and work. I will be happy to continue cooperation as working with TeddyGraphics is always a great experience.

I wish I could give this agency 10 stars. 5 isn't enough. I contacted several agencies throughout Europe, and Mediasoul sent me the best proposal ever, incomparable to the top agencies I'd contacted in London, Paris, Berlin, etc.
Besides being extremely professional and creative, they have a gift for beauty; everything they choose is elegant and classy. They far exceeded all my expectations! Plus, they're ALWAYS available.
In the last few days, I had a problem with Google Mail. Not even Google's technicians could fix it, and they fixed it in half a day, and they didn't charge me anything!
I recommend Mediasoul to everyone. They're the TOP in the European market. I appreciate their continued availability and dedication to their work. THANK YOU, Mediasoul! Giuliana

The great attention given in immersing ourselves completely in the project, in transforming the needs of our company into something beautiful and functional. Ideas, respect for times, continuous support, innovation, professionalism - this is, in short, the whole Mediasoul team.

So I had a problem with my website this morning not really sure on what I should do so I gave Werkbot A call on the phone and explain my situation. I asked if it was OK for me to stop in sometime today to talk a little bit more about what I had going on. The person on my phone was OK with me just stopping in when I had a moment. Because of my crazy work schedule, I stop down just after 4 o’clock and they were walking out the door closing up for the day. So I asked if this was Werkbot “ He said yes, it was, And he knew who I was. So he actually opened the office back up we went inside we sat down. He pulled my information up and he started going through everything for me.. I want to just say that I am not a customer of theirs. I’m a random person who made a phone call to them and they were very helpful. I just want other people to know that the customer service that I got from this company was five stars hands-down. You don’t get that much anymore. I did waste about 40 minutes of his time. He never charged me a penny. I will tell all of my friends and family for sure. I highly recommend this company. Thanks again, I appreciate you guys!!

Our organization went with WerkBot for our website development and website design because from the first meeting they were engaged in learning not only about what our organization does, but why we do it - I appreciated their interest in learning the nuances of our org so they could best represent our brand and values. They're great to work with, extremely prompt, adaptable to different working styles, and engaged throughout the process. I feel confident they're going to be walking alongside us as we continue to build and grow as an organization and our platform expands. Definitely the team to have by your side!

Boutique branding agencies: $5,000 to $20,000 Includes brand identity, guidelines, and some strategic work.
Full-service branding agencies: $11,000 to $70,000+ Covers strategy, positioning, messaging, identity, and brand assets.
Enterprise branding companies: $40,000 to $100,000+ Includes research, brand architecture, workshops, and global rollout.
Typical cost breakdown inside a branding project:
Brand strategy: $5,000 to $50,000
Brand identity design: $2,500 to $30,000
Brand collateral and templates: $2,000 to $7,500
Brand research and analysis: $5,000 to $250,000
Branding costs depend on project scope, strategy depth, number of deliverables, business size, industry competition, and the experience and reputation of the agency.
How long does the branding process take?
Branding usually takes 8 weeks to 6 months, depending on scope, feedback speed, and deliverables.
Typical branding timeline breakdown:
Discovery and research: 1 to 2 weeks Defines goals, audits your current brand, and analyzes competitors.
Brand strategy development: 2 to 3 weeks Creates positioning, messaging, voice, and brand foundations.
Visual identity design: 4 to 6 weeks Develops logo, colors, typography, and visual system.
Brand guidelines and assets: 2 to 6 weeks Produces brand book, templates, and marketing materials.
Website design, if included: 2 to 8 weeks Adds website strategy, design, and development.

The total branding timeline depends on project scope, number of deliverables, feedback speed, decision-making complexity, and whether you are creating a new brand, refreshing, or fully rebranding.
What is the difference between a branding agency and a design firm?
An agency defines how your brand works and what it stands for, while a design firm focuses on creating and implementing specific design solutions.
Aspect
Branding Agency
Design Firm
Core focus
Defines the brand and its long-term direction
Designs solutions that communicate and deliver the brand
Main goal
Build a clear, competitive brand
Create effective, usable, and consistent designs
Strategy
Deep strategic work, such as positioning, messaging, and brand structure
Uses a strategy to guide design decisions and execution
Shapes how customers perceive and remember the company
Shapes how customers interact with and use the company’s products and materials
Stage they help most
Early stage, rebranding, or major business changes
After or alongside the strategy, during product and asset creation
Outcome
A defined brand system and clear brand direction
Designed assets, interfaces, and experiences ready for use
Branding companies develop positioning, messaging, naming, brand architecture, and the overall system that guides how the brand operates and grows. They connect business goals to customer perception.
Design firms solve communication and product problems through design. This includes visual identity, but also user experience, interfaces, packaging, and digital products. Their work translates strategy into functional, usable, and consistent brand and product experiences.
Why should I hire branding companies instead of freelancers?
Hire a branding company when you need strategy, depth, and long-term brand systems, not just individual deliverables.
Branding firms provide a full team with specialists in strategy, naming, design, and research. This leads to stronger positioning, more consistent execution, and work that supports business growth.
Freelancers usually work alone and focus on specific tasks such as logo design or visual identity. They are effective for smaller projects but have limited capacity for complex strategy, research, and large-scale brand development.
Isn't branding just a logo?
Branding is the entire system that defines how customers perceive your business in the market, not just the logo.
It includes your positioning, messaging, voice, visual identity, and the experience people have with your company. These elements work together to build recognition, trust, and differentiation.
The logo is one asset within that system. It represents the brand, but it does not define the strategy, meaning, or customer perception on its own.
