Why choose us
Data Viz that drives results
01
Win the war for attention
Our team knows how to capture eyeballs. Whether it’s a website launch or a policy paper, we’ll transform your data into a story that sparks conversation. Our work has been featured everywhere, from the halls of Congress to John Oliver’s show.
02
Beyond a basic dashboard
Tableau and Power BI are fine for building internal dashboards or tracking KPIs. But what if you want a little extra polish? With The DataFace, you get a dedicated partner who can go beyond the limits of your business intelligence tools.
03
Cleaner systems, clearer visuals
You’re working on a big, messy research project. Info is scattered across dozens of docs, tabs, and spreadsheets. Need somebody to figure out a better way? We'll build out a custom workflow that makes data organization simple for your team.
04
A dedicated team to keep yours productive
Creating great data stories requires time and effort. Sure, you could assemble an internal group of data scientists, designers, and devs to give it a try. But aren’t they busy enough? Instead, partner with our team for less than the cost of one full-time hire.
Frequently asked questions
What tools do you use for data visualization?
We love D3.js for custom interactive visualizations, but we’re flexible. Depending on the project, we also use Mapbox, Flourish, Datawrapper, Tableau, and more. We try to choose the best tool for the job, not just our favorites.
How long do projects take?
Most website builds take 8–12 weeks, which includes time for ideation, design, development, and revisions. But we know every project is different. If you have a tight deadline, we’ll work with you to make it happen.
Who will be working on my project?
We do most of our projects in “pods” — a small team with three core members who guide your project from start to finish.
Each pod includes:
- A project manager to handle timelines and coordination.
- A lead designer to drive the creative vision and visual execution.
- A lead developer to build and implement technical solutions.
Pods meet weekly to collaborate, troubleshoot, and keep things moving. Additional specialists may join as needed to support specific tasks.
How involved do I need to be during the project?
We believe in a collaborative approach. Expect regular check-ins, brainstorming sessions, and feedback cycles to ensure the final product matches your vision. Our goal is to keep you in the loop without making this your second job.
How much does this cost?
Pricing depends on the scope, complexity, and timeline of your project. One-time projects start at $60K and typically cover things like websites, dashboards, and interactive reports. For ongoing data viz expertise and support, we offer plans starting at $5K/month. Reach out, and we’ll tailor a quote to fit your needs.
How do I get started?
The first step is to hop on a Discovery Call with a member of our team, so we can get a better understanding of your project and your goals. You can book time with us here.
