500 Designs for website work

500 Designs is an Irvine, California agency with a San Mateo office, founded in 2017 with 50 to 249 employees and a perfect 5.0 across 43 Clutch reviews. Web design is 50 percent of its services and branding 20 percent. B2B services and healthcare are 25 percent each of its industries. All four reviews pair branding with a website: a custom site with brand strategy and design system, logos with a site designed and developed, a brand refresh with SEO evaluation, and a relaunch. Minimum project $25,000+ at $100 - $149 / hr.

Who it fits

Ideal for a mid-market or funded startup marketing lead who wants to rebrand and relaunch the website in one engagement with a US team. Not the pick for product UX, which is absent from the service list, or for buyers who want a specific CMS named up front.

Strengths

  • Branding at 20 percent alongside web design at 50 percent, and every review combines identity work with a new site.
  • Reviews mention brand strategy, design systems and SEO evaluation delivered with the website, not just visuals.
  • Perfect 5.0 across 43 Clutch reviews from a 50 to 249 person team with two California offices.

Watch-outs

  • Web development is not listed as a service even though reviews say sites were designed and developed; confirm who builds and on what platform.
  • $25,000+ minimum puts a combined brand and site project above small-business budgets.

Evidence

  • Service mix: web design 50 percent, branding 20 percent; B2B services 25 percent and healthcare 25 percent of industries.
  • A Clutch reviewer says the team "created a custom website and visual identity, developed a brand strategy, and built a design system" for a legal support company.
  • Rated 5.0 from 43 Clutch reviews; minimum project $25,000+; hourly $100 - $149 / hr; offices in Irvine, CA and San Mateo, CA.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does 500 Designs develop the websites it designs?+
Reviews say so: two describe websites designed and developed, and one a custom website built with a design system. Web development is not broken out in its published service mix, so ask which platform they build on and whether development is in house.
Is 500 Designs good for a rebrand plus website relaunch?+
That is its clearest pattern. Every Clutch review in the record pairs branding, logos or a brand refresh with a new or revamped website, and branding is 20 percent of its services. Budget from $25,000+ for the combined scope.
