UI and UX design covers how a product is structured and how it looks in use, from flow through to visual detail. Needed before development rather than after, since layout and flow decisions are far cheaper to change on a design than in code.
Needed before development rather than after, since layout and flow decisions are far cheaper to change on a design than in code. Working out which service actually fits the problem saves more time than comparing prices does, because the wrong type of engagement costs more than a slightly higher rate.
Designers show previous work, so judge them on portfolio rather than description. A clear brief produces better results and fewer revision rounds: what the product does, who uses it, what you consider success, and any constraints you already know about. Payment is released when the agreed deliverables are handed over.
Agree deliverables and file formats before starting, since "a design" means different things to different people. Confirm how many revision rounds are included and what happens beyond them. Where the work feeds into development, check the designer can hand over in a form your developers can actually build from.
