"Design Make Connect understood my needs and vision for my product, and were able to work with me to deliver on what I wanted. However, they also were willing to provide their own input and interpretation based on their experience and skills, which helped guide me to a better end-result. The DMC team are very experienced, and more importantly, passionate about what they do, and they treat their clients projects as if it's their own - taking full responsibility and accountability for everything."

Frequently asked questions
What does designing a physical product cost?
For basic, plastic products, it can cost from $7,000 up to $15,000 (from idea to production). For more complex products you can expect costs of $25,000 to $50,000. For extremely complex products expect costs of $100,000 and upwards.
How long does the design process take?
Depending on the complexity of the product. We like to get to prototyping asap, we believe getting something physical is key to squashing those assumptions. With basic products like enclosures, we can be prototyping in a 6 weeks. Whereas with complex products containing electronics or many moving parts, that can take 10 weeks till first prototype.
What happens if things go wrong?
Simple answer is, we fix it. Design is not linear. Design happens in waves, some weeks we'll be charging ahead on cloud 9, other weeks we'll be falling on our faces. It's all part of the journey. What's key to success in this business is trusting the process and always keeping a positive approach. Positivity helps us find the best solutions.
What happens if I am unhappy with the service?
If you think we suck, or we don't actually get along, or we can't solve your problem. We part ways, pay back some money and move on.
Who is involved?
In product development you end up working with a lot of different people. The design make connect team is powerful, but we don't pretend to know everything. If we need a trusty Hardware Developer, we'll give Jimmy a call and get him involved. We believe the best person for the job is the best thing we can do for your project.
