Web Design Agencies In Utah

Utah has an unusual pair at the extremes: a Brigham City designer who charges $0 upfront and a monthly fee, and a Salt Lake brand studio that speaks of category design with 26 years behind it. Six agencies are below, in the Salt Lake area, Utah County and Box Elder County. Two of them sell a single vertical strongly: Lemon Head Design in credit unions, and DMR Agency in search and ads.

Web design agencies in Salt Lake City

Red Olive

• Address: Salt Lake City, UT
• Phone: 801-545-0410
• Website: https://www.redolive.com/

Red Olive says it was founded in 1999, calls itself a Google Premier Partner, and is now part of Stellar, which it describes as an AI-native performance partner. It lists web design, SEO and PPC. Since the company has joined a larger group, ask who would run your account, and which contract entity you would sign with.

ThoughtLab

• Address: Salt Lake City, UT
• Phone: (801) 355-2696
• Website: https://www.thoughtlab.com/

ThoughtLab describes itself as a category-first brand and product studio with 26 years of client partnership, doing brand systems, flagship websites with 3D and webGL, and mobile apps. Its contact page lists Salt Lake City as headquarters plus a New York office. A growth-stage company wanting to redefine its market is the audience. Smaller buyers should ask about a minimum budget first.

Web design agencies in Utah County

Lemon Head Design

• Address: Spanish Fork, UT
• Phone: 801-797-3492
• Website: https://www.lemonheaddesign.com/

Lemon Head says it was founded in 2007 and has built 300+ sites, including 100+ credit union sites with ADA checks and core-system experience, plus roofing, HVAC and plumbing sites. Plans start at $129 a month. Founder Adam is named on the site. A credit union has a named specialty here, so ask which core integrations it has done.

Big Red Jelly

• Address: 2520 N University Ave, Suite 250, UT
• Phone: (435) 631-9968
• Email: hello@bigredjelly.com
• Website: https://bigredjelly.com/

Big Red Jelly says it has helped 2,500+ businesses worldwide with branding, content and marketing, and builds on WordPress, WooCommerce, Shopify, Wix and other tools. It works through a three-step process it calls brand, build and grow. Because its platform list is wide, ask which one it would recommend for you, and why that one.

DMR Agency

• Email: hello@dmragency.com
• Website: https://dmragency.com/

DMR says it has grown businesses since 2012, manages $5M+ in ad spend, serves Utah and Idaho, and works month-to-month with no annual contract. It measures itself on booked customers, and it offers a 30-minute review of your site and ads. Website work appears as part of that larger picture, so ask whether it will quote a build alone.

Web design agencies in Box Elder County

Carson’s Web Designs

• Address: Brigham City, UT
• Phone: (435) 237-1875
• Email: carsonswebdesigns@gmail.com
• Website: https://carsonswebdesigns.com/

Carson’s offers $0 upfront, with a monthly fee shown at $50 and $150, free edits and Google Lighthouse scoring. It collects the card once the site is finished. For a very small business this lowers the cost of entry. Ask what you keep if you stop paying, and whether you could ever take the site elsewhere.

How to research Utah’s tax treatment

The Utah State Tax Commission publishes private letter rulings, and two you can look up are 01-030 and 09-002, which search results describe as addressing website design and development. They are old, and a private letter ruling answers one taxpayer’s question, so read them for how the Commission separates custom work from bundled, prewritten software, not as an answer for your contract.

Then take that distinction to your agency. Ask whether your site is written for you or assembled from licensed tools, and whether a monthly plan is a license to use its software. Ask the Commission or your accountant about any substantial purchase. The Utah Division of Corporations can confirm a company’s legal name.

Upfront pricing and AI claims in Utah

Is $0 upfront cheaper?

Only if you compare it over time. At $150 a month, three years comes to $5,400. Add up what each offer costs for the time you expect to keep the site, and check who owns it at the end.

What does “AI-native” mean for my website?

It is how a company describes itself, not a standard. Ask which work a person does, how it is checked, and whether you can see a recent example.

Which Utah agency to call first

Credit unions and trades can begin with Lemon Head. A company in a category it wants to redefine can talk to ThoughtLab, while a business wanting a bigger marketing partner can talk to Red Olive. If you prioritize leads and short commitments, try DMR. Very small businesses can read Carson’s plan, and a company that wants branding and a site on a mainstream tool can ask Big Red Jelly.

These profiles come from each company’s own pages as read in November 2026. Their figures are unaudited, and the order is not a ranking.
