Working from Ukraine

Web design agency in Ukraine, built for continuity

Ukraine has one of Europe's deepest pools of design and engineering talent. Working with a team here is a good decision when the risks are planned for in writing. This page is that plan.

Why outsource web development to Ukraine

Ukrainian studios combine senior engineering with European working hours and rates below London or New York. Many teams have shipped products for international clients for more than a decade.

The questions buyers raise are fair: power, connectivity, people being called up, and who exactly they are signing a contract with. We answer each one below, and the answers are part of the contract.

  • Senior designers and engineers with international project experience
  • Seven to eight hours of overlap with the UK and the EU
  • Fixed prices in USD, so currency risk stays with us

Time zone overlap with Europe and the US

The team works 09:00-18:00 Kyiv time, Monday to Friday. Here is what that means where you are.

Our continuity plan

Written into every contract, and reviewed with you at kickoff.
  1. Power

    Every team member works with a battery station and a generator-backed fallback location in their city.

  2. Connectivity

    Two independent internet connections per person, one of them satellite or mobile, tested monthly.

  3. A backup person per role

    Each role on your project has a named backup who joins the weekly demo and can take over the same day.

  4. Data in your accounts

    Code, designs and content live in your repository, your Figma and your CMS, never only on our laptops.

  5. Team cities

    The team works from Kyiv, Lviv and Khmelnytskyi, so an outage in one city does not stop your project.

Questions

Is it safe to hire a Ukrainian web design agency during the war?

The risks are real and we plan for them in writing: backup power and connectivity for everyone, a named backup person per role, and every file in your accounts. The continuity plan is part of the contract.

How much overlap will we have with our team?

Seven to eight hours with the UK and the EU, and four or more hours with the US East Coast on request. West Coast teams usually meet us at 08:00 their time.

How do contracts and payments work with a company in Ukraine?

You sign a services contract with Kyvrel and pay milestone invoices in USD or EUR by bank wire or Stripe. The contract names both parties and the governing law.

Do you sign NDAs and GDPR data processing agreements?

Yes. We sign your NDA before discovery and a data processing agreement whenever we touch personal data, such as form submissions or analytics.
