What is included in UI/UX design services?

Enough to hand your engineers a build-ready spec and nothing you do not need. Every engagement is scoped from the state your product is in: a working app with a confusing checkout gets flow work and testing, a product with no interface yet gets the whole arc from research to handoff. We tell you which parts to skip before you pay for them, and the scope is written down before the first sprint.

How much do UI/UX design services cost?

Design-only work typically runs $8K to $25K for a focused redesign of two or three flows, and $30K to $120K for a full product with research, testing, and a design system. Agency hourly rates commonly sit between $60 and $200. A free discovery call gets you a scoped estimate, with no obligation attached.

How long does a UI/UX design project take?

A focused redesign of a few flows typically takes 3 to 5 weeks. A full product design with research, testing, and a design system usually runs 3 to 5 months. We work in two-week design sprints, so you have something clickable in your hands from the second week onward.

What is the difference between UI and UX design?

UX design decides how the product works: the structure, the flows, and the order things happen in. UI design decides how it looks and responds: type, color, spacing, components, and states. You need both. A polished interface sitting on top of a confusing flow still loses the user at step three.

What deliverables do I get at the end of a design project?

You get editable Figma source files, an interactive prototype, screens for every state, a design system with named tokens and documented components, exported assets, research findings with the session recordings behind them, and handoff documentation covering spacing, behavior, and accessibility notes.

Do I need a design system?

You need one as soon as more than one person is drawing or building your UI. Below that it is overhead you will not recover. The signal to watch for is an engineer rebuilding a button that already exists, or two screens shipping with different spacing in the same release.

Do you build what you design, or design only?

Either one. Some clients take the files to their own engineers, which we support with annotated specs and a Storybook-ready system. Others keep one team through the build, since Softaims has 500+ engineers across web and mobile. Design-only engagements are scoped and priced on their own terms.

How do you make sure designs meet accessibility standards?

We design against WCAG 2.2 AA from the first screen rather than auditing at the end. Contrast is checked on every token pair, focus states are drawn for every interactive component, target sizes clear the minimum, and keyboard order is annotated in the handoff file so engineers never have to infer it.

Can you improve an existing product without a full redesign?

Yes, and it is usually the better first move. A UX audit finds the handful of screens costing you the most, and we rebuild only those, most often the ones standing between a visitor and a completed signup. You see whether conversion moves before committing to a wider rebuild.

Who owns the design files and the research?

You do, 100%. Editable source files, the design system, exported assets, and every research recording transfer to you, assigned in the contract. We sign an NDA before we look at anything sensitive.

UI/UX Design Services in USA

UI/UX Design Services

Interfaces people understand without a tutorial. We research, prototype, and design web, mobile, and SaaS products for US companies.

Design here does not stop at a good-looking screen. You get research your team can act on, prototypes that have already been through a test session, and Figma files annotated closely enough that engineers build them without a round of clarifying questions.

What Do UI/UX Design Services Cover?

UI/UX design services turn a product idea into screens people can use without being taught. Softaims covers the full arc: user research, information architecture, wireframes, clickable prototypes, visual design, a component-level design system, usability testing, accessibility to WCAG, and annotated handoff files your engineers build from without guessing.
