      Web Design Review from Helen Guzenko

      We engaged U1CORE to develop and build a scalable, multi-sided marketplace platform. They were fully responsible for the product design and front end, while our team handled the back end, and their expertise in the marketplace space was evident from day one they understood the dynamics of interaction between buyers and sellers without needing a detailed explanation of the underlying principles. They provided a needs analysis, complete UX/UI for all key workflows, a reusable design system, and a responsive front-end built on React, integrated with our CMS. The platform launched on schedule, the time it took to onboard sellers was significantly reduced, and the design system accelerated our internal work on future features. Project management was top-notch clear sprints, proactive communication, and quick responses when we had to reevaluate priorities. It felt as though we were working with an extension of our own team. We highly recommend them to anyone building a complex marketplace product.

      Web Design Review from Dmytro Romaniuk

      Working with U1CORE on our investment banking website was an extraordinary experience. The process began with an initial meeting, during which they carefully studied our specific needs. They then provided a detailed project estimate, including the scope of work and timeframe, perfectly tailored to our project. They took care of every detail, and we were able to agree on all aspects, especially the inclusion of a non-disclosure agreement, which was extremely important to us. The U1CORE team was exceptional. We were introduced to a project manager who was always available and ready to help with any questions. Communication was seamless throughout the project. The designers assigned to our project were highly skilled professionals, which was reflected in the quality of their work. The project was completed on time, without any delays, which was a big plus for us. The end result exceeded our expectations the website was not only visually impressive, but also functional and tailored to the needs of our industry. Overall, U1CORE's attention to detail, efficiency, and professionalism made this collaboration a great one. We are very pleased with the result and highly recommend them for any web design needs.

      Working with U1CORE was an easy and productive experience. They took full ownership of the design side of the project, while our team handled the development. Their designs were delivered quickly, clearly structured, and matched business needs perfectly. Communication was smooth, the team was responsive to every request, and deadlines were always met. Thanks to this collaboration, we launched a product that was not only functional but also user-friendly and visually strong. I would gladly recommend U1CORE as a reliable design partner for joint projects.

Communication was professional and consistent we always knew exactly what stage the project was in. The final result exceeded expectations: the new website not only strengthened our online presence but also positively impacted inbound lead quality.

      We worked with BearPlus to design and develop our company website armorx.ai from scratch, and the experience exceeded our expectations on every level.

What stood out the most was their attention to detail and ability to handle both creative and technical challenges. They took time to understand our brand, proposed a clean and elegant UI/UX, and even helped us sharpen our messaging to better resonate with our target customers. The site performance is fast, responsive across all devices, and easy to manage. We highly recommend them to any business looking for a reliable and talented web development partner.

Are there hidden costs I should be aware of when hiring product designers?

Yes, you may expect some additional or hidden costs, although most reputable product design companies will present clear pricing.

According to the Project Management Institute, projects with unclear requirements are 2-3 times more likely to exceed budget and timelines. 

Cost category  Estimated cost range
Scope creep and extra iterations 10% to 30% of the total project budget
UX research and testing $5,000-$25,000+ per round
Prototyping and engineering work  $2,000-$50,000+
Third-party tools and integrations  $500-$5,000+ per project
Post-launch support and updates  $5,000-$15,000+ per month
Manufacturing preparation $10,000-$100,000+

The best designers with proven expertise will be transparent about these factors and help you plan for the true cost of product design, instead of just the initial estimate. 

What should I look for in a product design firm's portfolio?

When evaluating an agency portfolio, you're assessing whether the team can deliver measurable business outcomes, handle complexity, and align with your product goals.

Therefore, look for the following:

  1. Proven business impact: Look for case studies that show measurable results. A strong case study might show a 30-50% increase in conversion rates after UX redesign or a 20% reduction in churn for a SaaS product.
  2. End-to-end product design process: Top product designers should demonstrate a complete design process, starting from research, through ideation, prototyping, and testing, to launch. 
  3. Depth in UX research and user-centered design: A strong portfolio should show how the team understands user needs. High-quality projects often include 5-10 user interviews per testing round, which is standard for identifying most usability issues.
  4. Experience with similar product types or industries: An agency with 3-5 similar projects in your space is more likely to understand constraints and speed up delivery.
  5. Technical capability and engineering integration: A strong portfolio should show evidence of CAD modeling, prototyping, or engineering work, integration with mechanical engineering or development teams. 
  6. Complexity and problem-solving ability: A renowned product design studio showcases how it solves complex challenges. Projects involving multiple user roles or workflows indicate higher capability.

How do product design companies measure success?

They measure success based on real business impact, user experience, and product performance: 

  1. User experience (UX design) performance 
    Measured through usability metrics like task success rate, time-on-task, and user satisfaction. Better UX can improve task completion rates by up to 80%, according to Nielsen Norman Group. 
  2. Conversion and revenue growth 
    Design improvements are tracked through conversion rates, sales, and funnel performance. Small UX changes can increase conversions by 10–25%, according to Forrester. 
  3. User engagement and retention 
    Active users, session duration, and churn rate show how well the product meets user needs. PwC reports that UX improvements can boost retention by up to 30%
  4. Time-to-market and efficiency 
    A strong design process reduces delays and rework. Companies with mature design practices can cut development time by up to 50%, according to McKinsey. 
  5. Product adoption and market fit 
    Success is measured by how quickly users adopt the product and how often key features are used. 
  6. Return on investment (ROI) 
    Design is evaluated based on revenue growth and cost savings. Design-led companies achieve 32% higher revenue growth and 56% higher shareholder returns, according to McKinsey.

What is the typical timeline for a product design project?
