A UI designer makes the interface legible and precise: hierarchy, spacing, type, color, states, and the responsive behavior that keeps it working at every width. Hire this role when the flows are already sound and the product simply does not look like something you would pay for.
What it costs
US UI designers bill roughly $45 to $120 per hour, or $80,000 to $140,000 as a full-time base salary.
