Unfold

Unfold for website work

Unfold is a North Port, Florida studio founded in 2014 with 10 to 49 people and a 5.0 rating from 5 Clutch reviews. It is purely design: UX/UI design 50 percent, web design 30 percent and branding 20 percent. Clients are 60 percent startups and 30 percent mid-market, spread across advertising, B2B services, consumer and software at 20 percent each. One review describes a website redesign with logo and branding for a real estate firm delivered in about six weeks; the others are app and SaaS product design.

Who it fits

Suits a startup founder who wants brand identity and website design from one small team and has a developer lined up. The $25,000+ minimum is reasonable but the $200 to $300 hourly rate is high for a studio that does not build.

Strengths

• Web design at 30 percent and branding at 20 percent alongside UX/UI, so identity and site are designed together.
• A reviewer describes a website redesign plus logo and branding delivered in about a month and a half.
• Perfect 5.0 rating from 5 reviews.

Watch-outs

• No web development or low-code line; Unfold hands over designs, not a live site.
• Rates of $200 to $300 an hour are steep given design-only scope, and only 5 reviews exist.

Evidence

• Service mix: UX/UI design 50 percent, web design 30 percent, branding 20 percent; design share 100 percent.
• A Clutch reviewer: "Unfold was hired to redesign a website, as well as develop a logo and other branding materials for a tokenized real estate firm."
• Clients 60 percent startups, 30 percent mid-market; minimum project $25,000+ at $200 to $300 an hour.
