Barrel

Barrel for website work

Barrel is a New York agency founded in 2006 with 10 to 49 people and no Clutch rating or reviews. Its service mix is entirely web-facing: UX/UI design 35 percent, e-commerce development 30 percent, web design 25 percent and low-code development 10 percent. E-commerce is 100 percent of its industry work, and clients are 50 percent mid-market, 30 percent startups and 20 percent enterprise. The minimum project is $50,000+ at $150 to $199 an hour. For a direct-to-consumer brand it is the most specialised profile here; for a B2B lead-gen site it is off target.

Who it fits

The pick for mid-market e-commerce brands that want a storefront designed and built, with low-code tooling in the mix, and have a $50,000+ budget. B2B SaaS and service companies should choose an agency whose industry mix includes them.
