Viget

Viget as a studio

Viget has been around since 1999, now 50 to 249 people across Falls Church, Durham and Boulder, positioned plainly as brand, design and build. Design is 55 percent of the mix, spread across product design 20 percent, UX/UI 15 percent, branding 10 percent, web design 10 percent, with custom software at 30 percent. Reviews are unusually varied: a brand strategy built from employee interviews, a Craft CMS site, a redesigned personality questionnaire, and Figma design systems for healthcare apps. Seven Clutch reviews average 4.8.

Who it fits

Hire Viget when you want an established, thoughtful studio that treats brand strategy and product design as one continuous craft and can engineer the result, at $200 to $300 per hour with a $25,000+ minimum. It suits nonprofits, healthcare, retail and media organisations. Teams wanting a fashionable visual signature or a cheap build will be better served elsewhere.

Strengths

• Branding is a real line at 10 percent and reviews show brand strategy grounded in research, not decoration

Watch-outs

• Seven reviews is a thin public record for a studio of this age and size
