Mehmet Cem Dinçer Review from Google

Mehmet Cem Dinçer's Review Sourced from Google
We’ve been using 2soft’s AR 3D modeling services for several months, and they’ve completely revolutionized how we deliver immersive experiences. Their 3D models are highly detailed, optimized for real-time AR integration, and perfectly aligned with our project requirements. For instance, the architectural models we used in client presentations made them gasp – the textures, lighting, and spatial accuracy made everything look and feel "absolutely real."What truly stands out is their dedicated technical support. Last week, we encountered a minor issue with lighting adjustments in a time-sensitive project. Not only did their team resolve it within 30 minutes, but they also provided actionable tips to optimize our AR scene’s performance. Their blend of technical expertise, speed, and client-centricity is unmatched.Key Features We Love:High-Resolution & Lightweight Models: Flawless performance even on mobile devices.Multi-Format Compatibility: Seamless integration with Unity, Unreal Engine, and Blender.Customization Flexibility: Models are tailored to our exact needs, saving us hours of work.Who Should Use This Service?If you’re an architect, game developer, or e-commerce platform looking to elevate your AR/VR projects, 2soft is a must-try. Their solutions turn complex ideas into breathtaking realities. 10/10 recommend!

We’ve been using 2soft’s solutions for over a year now, and I can confidently say they’ve transformed how we operate. Their platform is intuitive, reliable, and packed with features that streamline our workflows effortlessly. What truly sets them apart is their customer support team – always responsive, knowledgeable, and willing to go the extra mile to resolve issues.When we faced a critical integration challenge last month, their team not only fixed it within hours but also provided a detailed walkthrough to prevent future hiccups. For anyone looking for scalable software solutions backed by exceptional service, 2soft is the way to go. Highly recommended!

Every detail was meticulously crafted, and their attention to quality is unmatched. What really stood out to me was their communication—they kept me updated throughout the entire process and were always open to feedback and revisions.Warten Weg exceeded all my expectations, and I’m thrilled with the results.

I pulled in Warten Weg into my project last minute when my graphic designer let me down and he just WOW’d me with his high standard of work and quick turn around time.When other guys take a week to do a highly detailed poster; he was able to deliver in 48hrs.I won’t even talk about pricing; I had to advise him to raise his price for the quality of work and excellent service that he gave me as a random first time customer 🤣🤣.Well done dude; may bigger doors open for you.🙏🏽Brian Moyo

7 Frequently Asked Questions About Product Design Firms
What services do product design companies offer?
They offer a broad, end-to-end set of services that combine strategy, engineering, and user experience to bring physical and digital products to market faster and with lower risk.
Their key services include:
Product strategy and discovery: Accounting for over 39% of revenue share in 2023, this concerns defining what product to build and why, based on market demand, business goals, and user needs. It includes market research, product positioning, concept validation, and early-stage product development planning.
UX research and user experience (UX Design): Understanding user behavior and designing experiences that are intuitive and efficient, relying on UX research, usability testing, journey mapping, and behavior analysis for digital products and services.
Industrial design: Designing physical products with a focus on usability, aesthetics, and manufacturability. It includes form development, ergonomics, materials selection, and collaboration with industrial designers.
Engineering and technical design: Translating design concepts into functional, manufacturable solutions using engineering principles, including mechanical engineering, system architecture, feasibility analysis, and design for manufacturing.
CAD modeling and prototyping: Product designers create digital and physical models to test, refine, and validate product concepts before production.
Branding, visual, and experience design: Aligning the product with a cohesive brand identity and consistent user experience across all touchpoints, while relying on graphic design, packaging, and integration with digital marketing and web development.
Product launch, optimization, and growth: Supporting the product after design to ensure successful launch and continuous improvement.
How much do product design services cost?
The cost of hiring product design companies varies widely depending on scope, complexity, and the level of expertise.
Product design firms typically charge $100-$450 per hour for full-service work that includes UX design, engineering, and product development.
Project-based pricing:
Small projects (e.g., concept design, UX audit): $5,000-$15,000
Mid-size projects, such as UX/UI design for a mobile app or web platform: $30,000-$100,000
End-to-end product development: $100,000+
What's the difference between product design, industrial design, and UX design?
The best product design agencies combine all three into a collaborative approach, ensuring your product is functional, manufacturable, intuitive, and competitive in the market.

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:
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.
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.
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 testinground, which is standard for identifying most usability issues.
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.
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.
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:
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.
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.
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%.
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.
Product adoption and market fit Success is measured by how quickly users adopt the product and how often key features are used.
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.
