Questions
What's the difference between a product design agency and a web design agency?
Product design covers the software itself — onboarding, dashboards, flows, design systems. Web design covers the marketing site. Several studios here do both; the focus column shows which.
Should a startup hire an agency or a full-time designer?
Before product-market fit, an agency or subscription is usually cheaper than a senior hire and faster to start. Once design is a weekly need, hire.
What do startups build their websites with?
From our analysis of 705 YC 2026 homepages: 49% Next.js, 13% React single-page apps, 8% Astro, 6% Framer, 2% Webflow. Agencies mostly sell Framer and Webflow, so ask how the handoff to your engineers works.
How long does a startup website take?
A landing page: one to three weeks. A full marketing site with CMS and case studies: four to eight weeks. Studios that quote faster are usually templating.
How did you choose and order this list?
Inclusion: the studio publicly states it serves this segment or names clients in it. Ordering is the rule stated at the top of the page, applied the same to us as to everyone else. Prices are the lowest the studio publishes; unpublished ones are estimates from public quotes and marked. Clutch figures are read on the date shown. Corrections: atul@nonboring.gg.
