Ester Digital

Ester Digital for website work

Ester Digital is a 10 to 49 person studio founded in 2016 with no published headquarters and a perfect 5.0 across 32 Clutch reviews. Its mix is broad: UX/UI design 15 percent, then branding, custom software, web design and web development at 10 percent each, with five more services at 5 percent. Clients are 50 percent mid-market and 45 percent startups. Reviews include websites and apps designed for a software company since 2018, a web store for an art retailer, and a React front end. Minimum project $5,000+ at $50 - $99 / hr.

Who it fits

A practical option for a small business or startup that wants brand, website and a modest web store from one affordable team, with front-end development in house. Not a specialist: no single service exceeds 15 percent, so buyers wanting deep web design craft should compare with web-first studios.

Strengths

• Branding, web design, web development and ecommerce development are all listed, so a complete small-business web presence is in scope.
• A long-running relationship review shows websites and apps designed and iterated for one client since 2018.
• $5,000+ minimum at $50 - $99 / hr with 45 percent startup clients.

Watch-outs

• With nine services each at 15 percent or less, website work is a fraction of a generalist mix.
• No location or offices are published; confirm where the team works.

Evidence
