User Experience refers to the ease at which a user can reach their goal, such as ordering a pizza with their phone. User Interface includes the shapes, colors, and sizes of each digital element. Making good decisions for the UI will result in an improved UX, with bad UI decisions negatively affecting UX. Generally, we talk about UX/UI together because both processes are performed by the same team, though they can be done separately.

There are multiple factors influencing the cost of a UI/UX design project. The factors include scope and scale of the project, nature of the project (starting from scratch, revamping existing design), platforms (mobile, web, TV, kiosk), technology involved, and design services included (user research, interviews, testing, wireframing, lo-fi and hi-fi mockups) and delivery deadline to name a few. It's difficult to provide a number upfront without understanding the requirements and full scope of the project. We usually charge $25 to $35 per hour based on the complexity and size of the project and also depending on the scope.

There are a multitude of tools designers use in various stages of UX design. Our team typically use the following:
User Research - Hotjar
Design - Adobe XD, Figma, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Indesign
User Testing - Crazyegg, UserTesting.com
Project Management - ClickUp, Miro, Google Workspace
Communication - Slack, Telegram, Messenger
Development - Wordpress, Elementor, Woocommerce, Webflow.
Stock - Elements Envato, Midjourney, Adobe Firefly
