Software Development Review from Jake Mackay
For quite a long time we took orders by e-mail or personally from customers. It took a lot of time, as we either made layouts by hand or printed them according to the vague requirements of clients. All these difficulties have pushed us to take a step towards the digital transformation of our business. The team of Five Jars has developed a frontend and backend for our web tool to create print layouts. The team is not afraid to take on difficult tasks!
Responsive Review from Anthony North
I was looking for companies that had experience with large educational platforms. There are some really big players in the eLearning market in Five Jars' portfolio, so I trusted their development experience. After all our platform has become more attractive to users. Over the past year, we have noticed a significant increase in daily visits, so much so that we even had to change hosting. Five Jars helped us with that too!
Small Business Review from Colin Knox
I'm satisfied with the MVP we've done with the Five Jars team. I am currently looking for an investor for this project. I love working with professionals when I don't have to dive into a whole area that I don't know. Working with the Five Jars was a real partnership where the other side fulfilled their obligations without my constant checks.

Web Development Review from Rostislav (Rusty) Klibaner
We can't possibly recommend Use All Five enough! Our office came to the Use All Five team wishing to redesign and overhaul our website, which greatly needed functional and structural upgrades. From the get-go, Kara, Michelle, Levi, and their whole team were kind, supportive, and communicative with all of our questions and concerns. Moreover, they were endlessly inventive with their ideas, recommendations, and overall approach (not to mention always willing to be flexible and work within our budget). They took in all of our feedback and needs, and then masterfully incorporated our requests into a product that went beyond our greatest expectations. The resulting website was nothing short of amazing: featuring dynamic, wonderful colors, ease of navigation, and accessibility for all users. We're so lucky to have worked with Use All Five, and cannot wait to collaborate with them again in the future!
Digital Services Review from Kerrie Mitchell
We worked with Use All Five on the redesign of our flagship site. It was an incredibly complex project and website with a large number of stakeholders, but UA5 managed it all with ease, grace, organization, and good humor. The site they created for us was gorgeous, and we continue to work with them on ongoing maintenance. I was incredibly thankful to have them as partner on this undertaking and really couldn't have imagined doing it without them. Would highly recommend their services.
eCommerce Development Review from Anonymous
Our experience with Use All Five on our e-commerce project was outstanding from start to finish. They built us a custom Shopify-based solution that perfectly captured our brand aesthetic while delivering powerful functionality. The team's technical expertise and creative vision resulted in a website that not only looks incredible but also drives conversions. Since launch, we've seen a substantial boost in online sales and received numerous compliments from customers about the user experience. Use All Five proved to be reliable, innovative, and genuinely invested in our success. I wouldn't hesitate to work with them again.
For over 20 years, we've built complex digital products. We've learned that most problems don't start in code. They start before teams align on direction, before assumptions surface, before anyone knows what questions to ask...

Certainly! Here's the revised review with the project timeline adjusted to 2017:We had the pleasure of working with Xfive back in 2017 on a project to build a microsite for a new product launch, and we couldn't have been happier with the results. Xfive demonstrated exceptional expertise and professionalism throughout the entire process.From the outset, their team understood our vision and requirements perfectly.

A professional website design company does more than make a site look good. They build a foundation for your digital marketing, credibility, and conversions. Your website is often the first impression people have of your business, and that impression forms almost instantly.
Here is how a design partner impacts your business, supported by data.
Your website’s appearance directly affects how people judge your business.
Expert website design helps establish trust immediately.
Web design companies structure your site to guide users toward taking action.
Good user experience directly improves results.
Most users now browse on mobile devices, and poor mobile design drives them away.
Professional responsive web design ensures your site works across all devices.
Speed affects whether users stay, leave, or convert.
Website structure and technical setup directly affect search rankings.
Expert web design companies build your site so search engines can properly crawl, index, and rank it.
Hiring a web design agency is usually the better option for businesses that need a reliable, scalable, and strategically built custom website, because agencies provide a full team, structured processes, and broader expertise than a single freelancer.
| Factor | Web design firm | Freelancer |
| Team expertise | Full team covering web design, web development, UX design, and digital marketing | One person with limited specialization |
| Project scope | Handles complex custom website projects and integrations | Better suited for small and simple websites |
| Reliability and continuity | More stable, with backup team members if someone is unavailable | Risk of delays if the freelancer becomes unavailable |
| Strategy and business alignment | Focus on user experience, conversions, and long-term growth | Often focused mainly on design or technical tasks |
| Process and project management | Structured workflow, timelines, and quality control | Process varies and may be less formal |
| Support and scalability | Offers ongoing web design services, maintenance, and future upgrades | Limited support and availability after launch |
| Cost | Higher upfront investment but better long-term value | Lower upfront cost but higher risk and limitations |
Why is an agency the better option:
Choosing the best web design company requires structured evaluation, not just comparing visuals or price. The right partner should demonstrate relevant experience, a clear process, and the ability to deliver a custom website that supports your business and digital marketing goals.
Follow these steps to choose a web design partner:
Hiring the right custom web design company is critical because the wrong partner can waste your budget, delay your launch, and leave you with a poor-performing website. These red flags often signal lack of experience, poor processes, or hidden risks.
Before signing a contract with a web design agency, you need to confirm their experience, clarify exactly what they deliver, and understand how they will execute your web design project. These questions help prevent scope gaps, unexpected costs, and delivery issues.

Web design agencies provide a range of services to plan, create, and improve business websites. Their core services include:
Beyond these core services, many web design companies also support digital marketing, including search engine optimization, content marketing, and email marketing to help improve visibility in search engines and attract potential customers.
Some also offer brand identity, graphic design, and ongoing web design services like maintenance, updates, and performance improvements to strengthen your online presence over time.
Professional web design services typically cost $5,000 to $60,000+. Basic business websites may range from $5,000 to $15,000, custom websites from $15,000 to $30,000, and complex or e-commerce projects from $30,000 to $60,000+. Costs depend on scope, customization, features, and development needs.
A typical website design company timeline ranges from a few days to several months, depending on scope, content readiness, and required web development.
Most delays come from two things: missing content (copy, images, product data) and an unclear scope that expands during the web design project.
If content is ready and approvals are fast, timelines compress. If content is late and feedback is slow, timelines stretch.
Hidden web design costs usually show up in two phases: before launch and after launch.
These costs appear because a website build quote often covers only the core design and development. Anything tied to licensing, content production, ongoing ownership, or changes outside the original scope gets billed separately unless the statement of work includes it.
Web design defines the visual interface and user experience of a website, while web development implements that design through code and technical functionality.
| Aspect | Web design | Web development |
| Core responsibility | Defines the design, layout, and user experience | Builds and maintains the website through code |
| Primary objective | Ensure the site is clear, engaging, and aligned with brand identity | Ensure the site works correctly, loads fast, and supports required features |
| Deliverables | Wireframes, mockups, prototypes, and visual systems | Front-end interfaces, back-end systems, and integrations |
| Key disciplines | UX design, UI design, responsive web design | Front-end, back-end, and full-stack web development |
| Business impact | Influences perception, usability, and user engagement | Enables functionality, performance, and scalability |
Web design's main focus:
Web development's main focus:
Ask about relevant experience, project scope, timelines, revision limits, ownership of design files, mobile optimization, and post-launch support. Also clarify who will work on the project and how progress will be communicated.
