Studio Simpatico

Studio Simpatico as a studio

Studio Simpatico is the kind of practice this directory exists to find: a New York studio of two to nine people, founded 2014, whose tagline puts brands and visual identities first, then digital products and websites. On Clutch the mix is web design 45 percent, web development 45 percent and UX/UI 10 percent, and non-profit is 45 percent of the industry book. Reviews describe a brand identity and logo for a healthcare clinic and a dental site redesigned to be clean and simple. Rates are $150 - $199 / hr; rating 5.0 across 44 reviews.

Who it fits

Hire Studio Simpatico when you are a nonprofit, a mission-led clinic or a financial brand that wants a small senior team to design the identity and build the site themselves. It is not the right fit for product-heavy briefs; UX/UI is 10 percent of the mix and there is no mobile or software line.

Strengths

• Identity and website from the same tiny team, with a reviewer crediting brand identity, logo and site in one engagement.
• Nonprofit depth at 45 percent of the industry mix, with enterprise and mid-market at 80 percent of clients.
• A 5.0 across 44 Clutch reviews at two to nine people is a strong craft signal.

Watch-outs

• A team this small cannot run several large programmes at once; timing matters.
• Branding is not a listed Clutch service line despite the tagline and reviews; scope it in writing.

Evidence

• Service mix: web design 45 percent, web development 45 percent, UX/UI design 10 percent; design share 55 percent.
• A Clutch reviewer says the team "redesigned the site to reflect the heart of the client's practice and create a clean, simple experience for visitors".
• Based in New York; founded 2014; team of 2 to 9; rates $150 - $199 / hr; minimum project $25,000+.
