How to choose

Start from
what you need.

The score ranks firms overall; your project decides which fit. This list is written for US businesses that need a new or redesigned website: the design, the build and a site the team can edit after launch.

A site that brings enquiries
Look for case studies that report leads or conversions after launch, not only screenshots.
A site your team can edit
Look for which CMS the firm builds on and what training and handover it gives.
A fixed budget
Look for published packages or a stated minimum project, so the scope is clear before the first call.

How this list is made

Our interest,
stated plainly.

PixelCrayons publishes this list and is a web design firm itself. It is scored on the same evidence and weights as every other firm and sits at number 12 with 78.9. ValueCoders, our sister company in the Vinove group, is left out of every list so the group never holds two places.

No firm paid to be listed or asked to be. We considered 19 firms and scored those with enough public evidence to score fairly. Every figure links to the page we read it from, with the date.

Read the full PixelCrayons Index method, or download this list as CSV. Our scores and this compilation are free to reuse under CC BY 4.0 with credit to PixelCrayons; the figures we read from Clutch and the firms’ own sites remain theirs. A listed firm can correct its data: email hello@pixelcrayons.com with Rankings correction in the subject line.

If you are weighing PixelCrayons too: Web design at PixelCrayons.

Questions

Frequently
asked.

It plans the site's pages and content, designs how each page looks and works on phones and desktops, builds it on a CMS and hands it over so your team can edit it. Most firms on this list design and build; the case studies show the finished sites.

Every firm is scored out of 100 by the PixelCrayons Index: client reviews on Clutch, depth of web design work, published pricing, track record and recent activity. The weights are fixed and published, and no firm paid to be listed.

Only where it qualifies like any other firm: it must offer the service and show at least one case study in it. When it's listed, it's scored on the same evidence and weights as everyone else and sits wherever that score puts it.

Every month. Each firm's figures are checked again, the scores are recalculated, and the changelog on this page says what moved and why.

Yes. Any listed firm can send a correction with a source to hello@pixelcrayons.com with Rankings correction in the subject line. We check it, update the figure and log the change on this page.

Changelog

What changed,
and when.

Updated every month. Each edition is checked again from the sources.

  1. First edition: service pages, case studies and recent work read on 23 October 2026, with Clutch and Google figures read by hand. A firm whose Clutch profile has not been read yet is scored once it has.
