      Chatbot Solution Review from Daria Hlavcheva

      KeenEthics onboarded Lionwood Software to develop an AI-powered chatbot that could analyze photos of vehicle damage and provide an estimated repair cost for insurance company. The project focused on applying AI to a traditionally manual part of the insurance claims process. The solution needed to interpret car damage from uploaded images, identify relevant damage, and translate the analysis into a cost estimate that could support faster and more consistent claims assessment. Lionwood Software took ownership of the AI development and worked closely with the KeenEthics team to align the solution with the product requirements and insurance use case. Their team demonstrated a strong understanding of both the technical challenges of image-based damage assessment and the business logic behind insurance claims. They were proactive in discussing requirements, clarifying edge cases, and addressing dependencies throughout the development process. The resulting solution helped automate an important part of the vehicle damage assessment workflow, reducing the need for purely manual evaluation and creating a foundation for faster claims processing. Lionwood Software proved to be a reliable technology partner with the expertise to work on AI-driven products where technical implementation needs to be closely aligned with real-world business requirements.

      As the owner of Lettuce Eat, I had the privilege of working with CraftedQ on a crucial project - Lettuce Eat 1.0, our mobile app development.

      Web Development Review from James Leonard Ehrlich, DVM

      I wanted to outsource front end development while maintaining back end services myself. They started with existing React SPAs, cleaned them up, found and removed bugs, improved user interaction, made clear requests for new endpoints which I implemented and they tested and used. The time difference between my office in eastern USA and theirs in Moravia worked well, as we could meet at their afternoon/my morning and I had the rest of the day to deal with back end or questions they might have. Their professionalism and competency were impressive. I will continue working with them, for years, I hope, in maintenance mode or when we need to expand features.

      I recently worked with Hooman to build a website and design product packaging for my business, and I couldn't be happier with the results. He is incredibly professional, approachable, responsive, and easy to work with throughout the entire process. He took the time to understand our vision and preferences and incorporated them with finesse. The website they built is modern, visually appealing, and user-friendly, and the product packaging design perfectly captures the essence of the brand. Overall, I would highly recommend Hoooman Studio to anyone in need of design services. Their expertise, attention to detail, and dedication to customer satisfaction are truly impressive.

      Faced an unprofessional experience with Enspirit. HR initially responded quickly and asked for my details, but later kept delaying, saying the technical team was unavailable. After 15 days of waiting, I was told they are now only considering more experienced candidates. Wasted my time with unclear communication.

How much does a product design agency charge in the US?

Product design can cost from $5,000 to over $40,000, depending on the project type and how much detail goes into it. When it comes to price per project type, the cost starts around $2,000 for research and can exceed $50,000 for detailed development.

Based on these estimations, here’s what price ranges businesses can anticipate:

Phase Estimated cost range 
R&D $5,000-$20,000
Conceptual design  $10,000-$30,000 
Prototyping  $15,000-$40,000

Product designers typically charge in one of three ways: 

  • By the hour: Charging for each hour spent on the project 
  • A fixed project fee: A single charge for the whole project, regardless of the time spent 
  • A retainer fee: A pre-agreed sum paid regularly to reserve the designer's services over a certain period 

What timelines does the service typically follow?

The timeline will depend on the product type and its complexity, and it will vary from product to product. Typically, product design can take from a few weeks to several months and up to 1 year. 

The breakdown by phases usually looks like this:

  • Discovery phase: Between a few days to over 2 weeks
  • Wireframing: 30-80 days
  • Iterative design: Depends on the wireframing, it typically takes as 1.5x longer
  • Responsive design: Depends on the iterative design time, it typically takes as 0.63x longer

What does a typical product design process look like?

A typical product design process follows a structured set of 10 steps to turn an idea into a high-quality, market-ready product.

The process usually looks like this:

  1. Brainstorming: Teams generate and evaluate ideas to solve a specific problem, encouraging creativity before selecting the most viable concept.
  2. Defining the product: The team clarifies the product’s purpose, core problem, and key features, focusing on what matters most and avoiding unnecessary complexity.
  3. User and market research: Designers and analysts study users, competitors, and market trends to ensure the product meets real user needs and has long-term value.
  4. Sketching concepts: Early sketches explore design directions and layouts before committing significant time or resources.
  5. Prototyping: A basic version of the product is created to show structure, functionality, and user interaction, helping catch issues early.
  6. Specifications and requirements: Detailed documentation defines features, technical requirements, timelines, costs, and responsibilities for development.
  7. Pre-production samples/MVP: Initial samples (or MVPs for software) are built to test feasibility, usability, and readiness for production.
  8. Testing and validation: The product is tested with users and stakeholders to identify flaws, gather feedback, and make improvements.
  9. Development and production: The product is fully built using defined specifications, often with agile methods to manage tasks and priorities.
  10. Quality assurance: Final checks ensure the product meets quality standards, works as intended, and aligns with requirements before and after launch.

What kind of results can businesses expect from a product designer?

If a product features a top design, businesses can achieve 32% faster revenue growth and 56% higher total returns. Design-led organizations are also twice as likely to outperform industry benchmarks on innovation and customer satisfaction.

In addition, well-designed products are shown to reduce development and support costs by improving usability and lowering error rates. Studies show that fixing usability issues early can cost up to 10× less than addressing them after launch.
