Arounda

Arounda as a studio

Arounda is a 10 to 49 person team founded in 2016 that splits its work three ways: UX/UI design, web design and web development at 30 percent each, with branding at 10 percent. The Clutch record lists no headquarters or offices, so treat it as remote. Its industry mix is unusually heavy: energy, fintech, manufacturing, healthcare and logistics at 20 percent each, with enterprise and mid-market at 80 percent of clients combined. Reviews describe design systems, dashboards and prototypes. A 5.0 across 86 Clutch reviews at $25 - $49 / hr, with a $25,000+ minimum.

Who it fits

Hire Arounda when you run a data-heavy platform in an industrial or regulated sector and want a design system plus the site to match, at rates well below US agencies. It is not a branding studio; identity is a tenth of the work and the reviews are all about product flows and dashboards.
