Arounda

Arounda for website work

Arounda is a 10 to 49 person agency founded in 2016 that does not publish a headquarters location. Its service mix is evenly split: UX/UI design, web design and web development at 30 percent each, plus branding at 10 percent. Industries are energy, fintech, manufacturing, healthcare and logistics at 20 percent each, and clients are 40 percent enterprise and 40 percent mid-market. It holds a 5.0 rating across 86 Clutch reviews. Notably, all four review summaries describe product UX work rather than websites. Minimum project $25,000+ at $25 - $49 / hr.

Who it fits

On paper Arounda can design and build a marketing site, and the low hourly rate is attractive for mid-market industrial and fintech companies. In practice the reviews on record are all product design, so ask for website case studies with live URLs before committing a $25,000+ budget.
