Digia as a studio

Digia describes itself as a full-cycle software development company, and the numbers agree: web development is 35 percent of its mix and custom software 15 percent, with UX/UI design, web design and graphic design at 15, 15 and 10 percent respectively. Founded in 2016, it runs 50 to 249 people across Toronto, Kyiv, Ottawa and Hamilton, charges $25 to $49 per hour with a $1,000+ minimum, and serves startups for 60 percent of its work. Ten Clutch reviews at 4.9 describe survey backends, WordPress community sites and React builds.

Who it fits

Hire Digia if you are a startup that needs a working website or web app built cheaply by a distributed team, with design included in the package. It is not a studio you hire for taste: reviews talk about stacks and integrations, not visual direction. Founders and brand leads seeking a point of view on typography or identity should keep looking.

Strengths

  • Rates of $25 to $49 per hour with a $1,000+ minimum, which makes design-plus-build reachable for very early companies
  • Graphic design and web design sit alongside engineering, so assets and build come from one vendor
  • Ten reviews at 4.9 across a wide industry spread

Watch-outs

  • A development shop first: design is 40 percent of the mix and reviews centre on technology choices
  • Low rates and offshore delivery usually mean production design, not authored craft

Evidence

  • Services: web development 35 percent, custom software development 15 percent, UX/UI design 15 percent, web design 15 percent, graphic design 10 percent
  • Hourly $25 - $49 / hr; minimum $1,000+; clients startups 60 percent; 4.9 from 10 Clutch reviews
  • A Clutch reviewer: "built the site using HTML5, CSS3, React.js, and Node.js"
