Project work starts at $8,000 / €7.000. Where it lands depends on how many flows there are, whether a product already exists, and whether brand work is included. You get a fixed price after the first call.

Five to six weeks for a first product surface with research, flows, interface, states and a system. A focused UX audit takes about a week. Larger products get phased so something is usable early.

Yes, and it's a common setup. The handover is written for engineers, with components named the way developers name them and behaviour documented rather than implied.

Yes. Design is a complete engagement here. Building is available if you want it, and plenty of clients don't.

The output isn't deterministic, so the design has to handle uncertainty rather than assume correctness. Thinking states, confidence, corrections, and the case where the answer is plausible and wrong. That last one is the failure mode most teams skip and the one that costs them trust.

Sized to the decision. Usually a handful of user conversations, a competitor teardown and a walk through what people do today. Enough to be right, without turning into a quarter-long study.

A design system is the components, rules and documentation the product gets assembled from, rather than a folder of screens. You need one as soon as more than one person is designing or building, which for most startups is sooner than expected.

Usually, yes. It starts with a UX audit, then a split into keep, improve and rebuild. Restarting is expensive and rarely necessary.

Yes. Files, components and documentation, transferred at the end. No licence and no dependency on me.

Yes, though it’s a different job with different rules. That’s website design.
