Merge Rocks

Merge Rocks as a studio

Merge Rocks is 60 percent UX/UI design with web design and Webflow development at 20 percent each. Its tagline claims interfaces, brands and websites for over 100 startups, though the Clutch client mix is actually half mid-market. No headquarters is listed. Founded 2018 with 10 to 49 people, it charges $25 - $49 / hr with a $10,000+ minimum and holds a 4.9 across 67 Clutch reviews. The reviews carry the brand angle: a design workshop to set visual direction, brand visuals revamped alongside a site rebuild. Branding is not a listed service line, though.

Who it fits

Hire Merge Rocks when you are a fintech or software company that wants a Webflow site and product screens that match, delivered cheaply by a small remote team willing to talk through visual direction. Do not hire it as your identity studio; branding is not in the service mix, even if it shows up in reviews.

Strengths

• Product and website in one team, with UX/UI at 60 percent and Webflow delivery in three of four cited reviews.
• Reviewers credit a design workshop to set visual direction, which is more brand thinking than the service list suggests.
• Low rates at $25 - $49 / hr with a $10,000+ minimum and a 4.9 across 67 Clutch reviews.

Watch-outs

• No branding or graphic design line on the record; brand visuals appear only as part of website work.
• No headquarters listed; the team is remote, so ask where the leads sit.

Evidence

• Service mix: UX/UI design 60 percent, web design 20 percent, web development 20 percent; design share 80 percent.
• A Clutch reviewer says the team "conducted a design workshop to identify the visual direction for the client's brand".
• Founded 2018; team of 10 to 49; clients 50 percent mid-market, 25 percent enterprise, 25 percent startups.
