Sayenko Design

In short

Sayenko Design has built websites in Seattle since 2009, and almost everything it ships runs on WordPress, with HubSpot CRM and marketing setup as a second line. Mike Sayenko, whose name is on the door, takes the first call on new projects, and the firm says it staffs work with senior people only. Every case study is broken into the same three phases, strategy, UI/UX design and WordPress development. It sits at #9 on our Seattle list.

Projects begin with personas. Defined.ai's site was planned around four audiences, from data scientists buying training data to investors and job seekers, plus crowd workers on its Neevo platform. Wider Circle, which builds neighbour-to-neighbour support groups for Medicare and Medicaid members, got rebranding, a site serving health plans and seniors, and WCAG accessibility work. Acenda, a New Jersey prevention, treatment and wellness provider, got audience-based navigation and self-referral flows.

B2B, healthcare and professional-services firms that want a lead-generating WordPress site their non-technical staff can maintain, followed by a care plan, will be well served; MicroVision, Hussey Seating and the immigration firm ColomboHurd are other clients. Companies that need deep brand strategy, product or app design, or a platform beyond WordPress should look to a studio built around those disciplines.
