      Web Design Review from John Huntzinger

      This is the most pathetic web design company ever. They have on their website 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed. My experience was far from that. All I wanted to do was up date an existing website that I very much liked that I had used for 10 years. They gave me a price of updating of $8000. It was a fight the entire process. I did not want anything special, just updates of my current website for the new technology that had occurred over the past 10 years. They could not get my website duplicated. When they did not duplicated, and I showed them why it was not a duplication, they said, oh, you want that, this is out of our scope. My argument was they knew the scope, they could see the web site I liked. They keep upping the price, they raised the quote to over $20,000. When we launched their version after months of struggle getting like my old website, there was no way for me to adequately change my pricing on the website, in a manner that I could preform, again, just like I showed them in the beginning. They showed me their new and improved process, but it was impossible for me to function. They again, wanted more money after paying them more than 2 and a half times the price they quoted, and still not giving me a website that was like my original website that they were suppose to improve. It took me 3 Months to get my old website back up after giving this company took $20,000 of my money. This is the most pathetic rip off company I have ever dealt with. I have an over 100 Million Dollar a Year Company, and having their disaster website up 2 months, paying them 2.5 Times their original bid, and having to take it down because it was not functional was truly a nightmare, and I wasted over $20,000 of money, and got nothing but 2 Months worth of headaches. They told me in the beginning they could have it completed in a couple weeks, but I had 4 Month of a Nightmare, and lost $20,000. Stay away from this company!!!!!

Frequently Asked Questions

What services does a UI/UX design agency typically offer?

A UI/UX design company typically helps organizations plan, design, and validate digital experiences for mobile apps, websites, and software products.  

Core UI/UX design services include:

  • UX audit
  • User research and analysis
  • Design systems (visual components, standards, governance) 
  • Interaction Design (IxD)
  • Information architecture 
  • Wireframes and prototypes 
  • User testing

Many also offer design consulting, cross-platform experience design, content writing, branding, and development.

How long does it take to complete a UX design project?

A UX design project takes about 4-6 weeks for a simple digital design with minimal functions and features. In contrast, an enterprise build or SaaS app can take over 20 weeks due to scale and complexity. 

The final timeline will depend on the complexity of your digital design, features, and functions, development method (Agile or Waterfall), feedback loop, and existing user data. Below is an estimated timeline of the UX process: 

  • Discovery and UX research: 1-4 weeks 
  • Information architecture and user flow: 2-6+ weeks 
  • Wireframing and prototyping: 3-5+ weeks 
  • Usability testing: 2-4 weeks 
  • Iteration and refinement: 2-6 weeks 
  • Development handoff: 3-8 weeks 

How much do UI/UX services cost?

The cost of UI/UX design services ranges between $300 and $1,500+ per screen or $25-$200 per hour. The actual price will depend on project type (website design, mobile app design, or product design), feature and design complexity, UX strategy, industry-specific requirements, and the UI/UX design company’s location. 

Below is the average rate of UI/UX design companies around the world: 

RegionAverage Hourly Rate

Western Europe$80-$180
Australia$60-$170
Eastern Europe$45-$90
South America$30-$85
South Africa$20-$80
Asia$25-$60

Based on the hourly rates, here’s how much you can expect to spend on UI/UX design, depending on the project: 

ProjectPrice Range

  • Small websites (5-8 pages): $2,500-$8,000
  • Mid-sized websites (10-20 pages): $8,000-$25,000 
  • Enterprise portals: $25,000-$150,000+

What factors impact the cost of UI/UX design?

Beyond project scope and complexity, factors like design iterations, turnaround time, compatibility requirements, and ongoing maintenance can impact the overall cost of a UI and UX project. Here’s how each item may add to the overall billing: 

  • Extra design revisions: Additional 10%-25% of the initial costs for every round 
  • Paid tools, plugins, and stock assets: 5%-15%  
  • Cross-platform compatibility: 20%-30% 
  • Fast turnaround timelines: 10%-50%  
  • Ongoing optimization and maintenance: 10%-25% 

What is the difference between a UI design agency and a UX design agency?

The difference between a UI design agency and a UX design agency is their focus. A UX designer prioritizes how the product works and feels, such as user flow and wireframes. On the other hand, a UI designer manages how the interface looks and behaves, including the color scheme and typography. 

You can think of a UX as the architect designing the blueprint and the UI as the interior designer, shaping what people see and interact with day-to-day. 

Here are more details on their differences: 

User Interface DesignUser Experience Design
  • User research and user personas 
  • Usability testing and analysis 
  • User journey maps 
  • Information architecture 
  • Sitemaps, wireframes, and prototypes 
  • User flows 
  • Page layout 
  • Interactive elements (e.g., buttons and menus) 
  • Design system (e.g., color scheme and typography) 
  • Mockups 
  • Graphic design, motion design, and illustrations
