Questions
Does a design agency need experience in my industry?
It helps most in regulated or workflow-heavy domains (fintech, healthcare, legal) where the constraints shape the product. For most SaaS the transferable skill is designing complex data and flows; ask for one comparable shipped product rather than a matching logo wall.
What do startups build their websites with?
From our analysis of 705 YC 2026 homepages: 49% Next.js, 13% React single-page apps, 8% Astro, 6% Framer, 2% Webflow. Agencies mostly sell Framer and Webflow, so ask how the handoff to your engineers works.
How long does a startup website take?
A landing page: one to three weeks. A full marketing site with CMS and case studies: four to eight weeks. Studios that quote faster are usually templating.
How did you choose and order this list?
Inclusion: the studio publicly states it serves this segment or names clients in it. Ordering is the rule stated at the top of the page, applied the same to us as to everyone else. Prices are the lowest the studio publishes; unpublished ones are estimates from public quotes and marked. Clutch figures are read on the date shown. Corrections: hello@wehatevanilla.com.
