Friendly Test

The best products are built with hard work by harmonious teams. Designed to de-risk the process of engaging a new team, the test gives both sides a chance to impress.

Typically 40 hours across 1–2 weeks, we'll work with you on a product audit, new feature, or visual refresh before agreeing a longer term partnership.

What separates Friendly from other top product design agencies?
We get this question a lot. There are many competent UX agencies in San Francisco alone and even more globally. It’s hard to be different when the standard is so high.

So how do we stand out? First and foremost, it’s the quality of our UX UI design work and the craft it takes to make it. The digital products and user interfaces we create are easy to use, look great, and represent your brand in the best way possible. Then, it’s the people who make your project a reality. We always assign a multidisciplinary team of senior UX UI designers, developers, and other specialists led by one of our design directors and overseen by a co‑founder.

Finally, unlike most traditional digital design firms and user experience designers, we combine creative and product design capabilities under one roof and on the same project. Imagine a branding firm meets a UI UX design agency — that’s us.
