What is Ramotion?
Ramotion has run out of San Francisco since 2009, with additional offices in Los Angeles and New York. Its own site claims "70+ team experts," while third-party employee trackers put the core headcount closer to 29 — a gap worth asking about directly before committing to a project. What isn't in dispute is the work: brand identity, UX/UI, and web/mobile development for a client range stretching from early-stage startups to Fortune 500 companies.
Ramotion works primarily with clients in SaaS / B2B software, Consumer products sectors. Its primary differentiator is: Bundles brand identity work with UX/UI and app development for a client range spanning early-stage startups to Fortune 500 companies.
