FAQ
Insights
Additional services
What is the typical cost of an app design project with Ramotion
Our mobile app design budgets are determined by your platform requirements, functional complexity, and team size. We maintain a minimum project size of $50,000.
Full product design engagements typically range from $80,000 to $200,000+. To help product leaders validate requirements with minimal risk, we offer a flat-fee Fixed-Price Discovery phase for $35,000 USD.
How does Ramotion align app designs with internal engineering teams?
To ensure smooth developer handoffs, we structure all layout files according to standard CSS flexbox and grid rules. Designs are mapped directly to native development guidelines, including SwiftUI for Apple systems and Google Compose for Android.
Visual assets are organized inside Figma using variables and design tokens that integrate easily with modern developer frameworks.
How does the agency handle WCAG AA digital accessibility standards?
Digital accessibility is built directly into our design workflow. Every screen layout undergoes contrast checks and structural readability audits to ensure complete conformance with WCAG AA standards.
This design check is critical for products in regulated spaces like Healthcare Technology and Fintech Platforms.
What is the typical timeline for an app design project?
A native application design project generally takes 10 to 18 weeks. This timeline includes 1–3 weeks for heuristic discovery, 2–4 weeks for system architecture and wireframing, and 4–8 weeks for high-fidelity component and style guide development.
Highly complex systems may run longer depending on feedback and review cycles.
How does Ramotion mitigate the risk of development drift?
We translate design components into React-ready variables and run automated layout tests. Using tools like Cypress and BackstopJS, we run automated regressions to check your compiled code against our original Figma layouts.
This process flags any layout variations before your product is deployed to production.
Can Ramotion build inside an existing in-house design system?
Yes. When collaborating with larger, established engineering teams, our senior designers can work directly inside your existing Figma libraries.
We can expand your design system, clean up design debt, and build custom native mobile components that match your existing design rules.
