Monks is a product design and development studio for startups and enterprise teams. UI/UX design, branding, SaaS, mobile app and AI development, delivered by one team.
Monks is the parent company of Design Monks and Dev Monks. Together we take products from research and design through web, mobile and AI development to launch.
Monks is the parent of Design Monks, a UI/UX design agency, and Dev Monks, a software development company. Most product teams lose weeks in the handoff between a design agency and a separate development team. Monks removes that gap. One project lead, one roadmap and one contract cover discovery, UX and UI design, brand identity, front-end and back-end engineering, QA and post-launch support. Founders building an MVP and enterprise teams modernising an existing platform get the same senior team from day one.
Each service is led by the studio that does it best, with the other one in the room.
UI/UX design for web apps, dashboards and SaaS products. We start with user research and wireframes, then design every screen and hand over a design system your engineers can build from without guesswork.

Branding for startups and growing companies: positioning, logo design, visual identity and brand guidelines, built to work across your product, website, pitch deck and social channels.
Marketing websites that convert, designed by Design Monks and built in Webflow or Framer. When a site outgrows no-code, Dev Monks moves it to Next.js without losing your SEO.
Custom software development for SaaS: multi-tenant platforms, enterprise portals, APIs and rapid MVP builds on React, Node.js and Python, with QA and cloud deployment included.
iOS and Android app development, native in Swift and Kotlin or cross-platform with Flutter. Designed in-house, so the app that ships matches the screens you approved.
AI development that does real work: agentic workflows, RAG systems and custom LLM features built on OpenAI, Anthropic and Gemini, plugged into the products and tools your team already uses.
Hire one studio for a focused brief, or bring in both for the whole product.
An AI-powered UI/UX design agency for startups, SaaS and enterprise brands. Design Monks handles research, product design, branding and websites, with flexible monthly, quarterly or annual plans, unlimited revisions and lifetime support. 200+ brands served, rated 4.9.

Monks is a product design and development studio. Through Design Monks and Dev Monks we offer UI/UX design, branding, website design, SaaS and mobile app development, and AI development under one contract.
Yes. Hire Design Monks for design only, Dev Monks for engineering only, or Monks for the full team. Many clients start with one studio and add the other later.
It depends on scope. After a short discovery call we send a fixed quote or a monthly plan. Design Monks offers flexible monthly, quarterly and annual billing with no long-term lock-in.
We agree a timeline in discovery, once scope is clear. Because design and engineering plan together from week one, there is no gap between design sign-off and development start.
Yes. Our team is based in Dhaka and works with clients across the US, Europe, the Middle East and Asia, with regular calls and weekly demos.
