What is the difference between product design and UI/UX design?
UI/UX design focuses primarily on user interfaces, layout visual hierarchy, and usability. Product design is broader: it integrates business viability, market positioning, feature prioritization, pricing psychology, and native AI workflows alongside interface design.
How much does complete product design cost?
A product discovery and strategy sprint runs $3,800 to $7,500 (1 to 2 weeks). A full 0-to-1 product design for a SaaS platform runs $12,000 to $24,000 (3 to 5 weeks). Our rates run roughly 20% lower than traditional product consultancies.
How do you design for AI capabilities like copilots and chatbots?
We design context-aware assistants that live alongside user work rather than intrusive modal popups. This includes inline autocomplete, progressive token streaming, confidence score badges, and human-in-the-loop approval gates for critical actions.
Can you help us decide what features to build first?
Yes. Feature prioritization is a core specialty. We help you distinguish between essential table stakes and low-value distractions, ensuring you build the leanest possible product that delivers genuine value.
Do you test designs with real customers before development?
Yes. We create interactive prototypes and run moderated or unmoderated usability sessions with real target customers to uncover friction points before coding begins.
Can you design for both web and mobile simultaneously?
Yes. We structure design systems that scale across responsive web, tablet, and native mobile apps, sharing component tokens for maximum developer efficiency.
Can you work alongside our existing development team?
Yes. Over 70% of our product design clients have their own in-house or offshore developers. We integrate directly into your Jira or Slack workflows and provide developer walkthroughs.
What happens after the product design is completed?
We offer continuous design support during implementation, conduct visual QA on staging builds, or stay on as an embedded monthly product design partner for feature iterations.
Do you help with investor pitch decks as well?
Yes. We can extract high-fidelity product screenshots, interactive prototype links, and architecture diagrams into polished investor presentation decks.
Who owns the design work and files?
You own 100% of all intellectual property, Figma source files, prototypes, and design tokens upon project completion.
