They collaborated closely with the client during the design and testing phases.  **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Founder, Chronic Pain Reset - Industry: Other industries - Client size: 1-10 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Jun 23, 2022 **Feedback Summary**: The client has achieved their goals for the website: they’ve been introduced to the healthcare community and have gotten 300 online followers. Imaginovation’s project manager worked closely with the client to facilitate edits via Slack. Their team is extremely collaborative and knowledgeable.  "“I’ll work with them on more technically-complex projects because they’ve proven to have the capacity to execute them.”" **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I’m the founder of Chronic Pain Reset, a nonprofit startup.  **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Imaginovation? Our main challenges were website and blog design and implementation.  **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? Imaginovation has designed, built, and implemented our website and blog; they’re now hosting and providing maintenance services. The first part of the engagement was focused on the site design. Once the design was finished, I think they used JavaScript to develop the site. What is the team composition? I have direct contact with Zach (Senior Project Manager), and several developers are working on the project. I’m also in contact with Peter (CEO) and Michael (Co-Founder).  How did you come to work with Imaginovation? I worked with Imaginovation a few years ago on a clinical management platform development project, but we’d only gotten as far as developing the wireframes. I’d already identified them as an IT company with the bandwidth to create a mobile app, so I decided to work with them on developing the website.  How much have you invested with them? At this point, we’ve invested around $17,000 with Imaginovation, which includes the $15,6000 website design charge and the $300 monthly fee for website hosting and maintenance.  What is the status of this engagement? This project began in October 2021 and is ongoing. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?  Our goal with the site has been to establish ourselves and access foundational grants for further initiatives. We’re a new nonprofit, so this is just the first step toward launching our social media via the blog; we already have 300 online followers. This project has introduced our nonprofit to the greater healthcare community, specifically those involved in chronic pain management. The intention is to now become thought leaders in the community to help us get more funding.   How did Imaginovation perform from a project management standpoint? We use Jira and Slack to communicate; we’re in close communication throughout all processes. I’ve worked closely with the project manager to facilitate site changes to ensure everything was as I wanted. What did you find most impressive about them? First of all, Imaginovation is very collaborative. We’ve worked closely on the design; I had very specific requirements that required step-by-step design and testing processes to achieve the quality and content I wanted. Their team has solved many problems for us, including fixing the donation page.  I rely a lot on their technical experience; I’m not a technical person, but Imaginovation is very patient with me. Imaginovation is also a small enough company that I feel like we’re more than just another project to them. Their collaborative and personalized services can be attributed to their smaller size.  They have a lot of knowledge about how to best design a website. However, I also appreciate that Imaginovation has the capacity to do more than just web design. I’ll work with them on more technically-complex projects because they’ve proven to have the capacity to execute them.  Are there any areas they could improve? The entire process has taken longer than I expected, but Imaginovation stayed in communication with me through the entire process. The delays we’ve experienced were generally out of their control; for example, one of their developers contracted COVID-19. We also faced some technical challenges during development. I think my expectations weren’t quite in line with the expected time it takes to bring a development project live.  --- #### Web Development & Mobile App Consulting for Cannabis Company **The Project** - Services: Mobile App Development, Web Development - Project size: $50,000 to $199,999 - Project length: Apr. 2020 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Imaginovation built the sites of a cannabis firm using React, Netlify, and more. They now provide mobile app development consulting services, and they continue to handle the client's web development needs. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 4.5 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Director of Engineering, Cannabis Company - Industry: Legal Cannabis - Client size: 501-1,000 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Aug 10, 2021 **Feedback Summary**: The client has been pleased with Imaginovation's development work. Their strong project management skills as well as their ability to ask remarkable questions are key to their success. Overall, their responsive and understanding approach allows them to deliver the project's requirements effectively. ""Their team gets things done, and they’re great to communicate with."" **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. We’re one of the largest privately owned cannabis operations in the US, and we've been around since 2013. I’ve been the director of software engineering for two years. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Imaginovation? We needed somebody to handle our web development efforts because we were focused on software development. As a result, we didn’t have the bandwidth or time to manage static websites, so we sought out an agency that would partner with us and could work with our marketing team to implement what was needed. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? Imaginovation started with a couple of brand specific websites that we have made internally or have purchased. We wanted each of those brands to have a unique identity. They then redeveloped our retail website, and they created a total of four branded websites from scratch using Netlify, React, and Webpac. Our internal marketing team typically provides them with a rough outline of what we want to do and provide the designs they want to see on the website. From static websites, the Imaginovation team has helped us to make our platforms a little bit more agile and innovative by integrating CMS so that features such as events, addresses, dates, and more can be managed by our internal marketing team themselves. When we expanded their work, they started to handle all of our web development needs. We also look forward to them handling our corporate website. On top of that, they’re advising us on our mobile development efforts. We’ll probably integrate their teams on building three internal corporate mobile apps since we already have a customer facing mobile app for cashless payments and rewards. That can happen within 3–4 months. We’re also looking to partner with them on some backend development as well. What is the team composition? We’ve worked with Pete (CEO), but it’s more focused on contract business management. They also have a technical manager, account manager, and 4–5 developers.  How did you come to work with Imaginovation? I searched for development agencies that would be willing and able to take on our type of industry. When I saw Imaginovation, I liked that they had an office in Charlotte, North Carolina. My CIO also told me that it would be an ideal situation if we had an agency that was close enough. That way we could meet up, especially if we need to collaborate on something larger. We were also impressed with the rates that Imaginovation gave us. On top of that, we enjoyed talking to them — they were very personable and flexible. How much have you invested with them? We’ve spent $60,000–$80,000. What is the status of this engagement? We started working together in April 2020, and it’s ongoing. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?  If you’ve checked one of the branded websites they’ve built for us, you’ll see that they’ve done a wonderful job. Overall, they’ve produced great work. How did Imaginovation perform from a project management standpoint? Imaginovation has performed very well from a project management standpoint. We communicate using Slack, Zoom, and email. We also have phone calls with them. Our internal marketing team even requests directly to them for updates, maintenance, or more. I just stay involved from a technical perspective so everything remains manageable. What did you find most impressive about them? Their team gets things done, and they’re great to communicate with. They also understand the problems we’re trying to solve, and they have a good grasp on what design we should have for our websites. On top of that, they know the right questions to ask. Above all, they’re pretty good at turning our requirements into features. Are there any areas they could improve? No, I can’t think of any serious issues we’ve had. The Imaginovation team has been working fine. Do you have any advice for potential customers? Be familiar with the tech stack that they’re using. In addition, make sure you communicate your needs with them. --- #### iOS App Development for Property Owner Platform **The Project** - Services: Mobile App Development - Project size: $50,000 to $199,999 - Project length: Aug. 2019 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Imaginovation provides software development services for a real estate buisness. Their work is ongoing with building their platform. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 4.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Owner, Parcelr - Industry: Real estate - Client size: 1-10 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Mar 16, 2020 **Feedback Summary**: Imaginovation’s efforts have been met with positive acclaim. The team is diligent, hard-working, and skilled. Customers can expect a thorough team that gets the job done. "“They were very kind and good to work with.” " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I am the owner of Parcelr. I am in the real estate and farming business. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Imaginovation? I needed someone to realize my software solution. I’d seen some other companies out there that have apps for real estate on parcel data and property data, as well as other features for myself to be more convenient and more efficient and more convenient for users, so I had them design and develop an application and we are still in the process of it. It is a mobile app for iOS. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? I reached out to Imaginovation about creating an app for me. When we first started, I told them what I wanted to do. I imagine they probably get a lot of phone calls daily and monthly from someone that wants to start an app. Once I figured out what I was serious about, we did the wireframes and looked that over, and then started the project after the wireframes were done. What is the team composition? I dealt with three people including the CEO, a sales rep, and someone I would classify as a project manager who would then meet with their team after that. How did you come to work with Imaginovation? I found them on Google and noticed they were a pretty local company. I reached out to them and set up some meetings and we went from there. There weren’t many app designers in North Carolina, but I mainly went with them based on their website design and reviews. How much have you invested in them? I have spent $84,500 on the project. What is the status of this engagement? We began working together in August 2019, and it is an ongoing project. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? They have let me download it on my phone and I have been very impressed by the way it looks and the way it functions. I think there could have been shortcuts they could have done just to save them money, but they have done very well in making it look good. You could tell they wanted to continue the relationship. How did Imaginovation perform from a project management standpoint? Throughout the whole project, everything was good. At the end of the project, we had to figure out some issues with the app, but I had to be clear. It all worked out and they held up to what they promised. They were very kind and good to work with. We used Slack to communicate back and forth as well as email.  What did you find most impressive about them?  Initially, I was nervous about building an app and finding a company as well as trusting them. Once I got to know them, we became good friends.   Are there any areas they could improve? At the end of the project, it seemed like I was getting rushed out the door and there needed to be some features addressed, but they took care of everything before we went live. Do you have any advice for potential customers? Try to have all your thoughts and ideas written out and in order and be thorough when explaining what you want. What they think and what you think might be two totally different things if you don’t explain what you are thinking.   --- #### Web Dev & Hosting for Private Practice **The Project** - Services: Web Development - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: Aug. 2019 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Imaginovation created and host a web app for a company to enable clients to log and calculate information. They also added new features to an existing site for membership login ability.  **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Founder, Sleepfitness.com - Industry: Other industries - Client size: 1-10 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Dec 5, 2019 **Feedback Summary**: The feedback on both the web app and the website have been great, internal teammates are impressed by the new functionalities. Imaginovation continues to be reliable in their support, maintaining the same level of communication and quality throughout the process.  ""Although their work is phenomenal, their communication from the start has been the most fantastic part." " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I am the founder of sleepfitness, an online self-guided insomnia program. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Imaginovation? We had an existing website, but we needed new features. I also hired Imaginovation to develop a web app for my clients. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? After we ran them through our requirements, Imaginovation added new features to our site, including a membership login functionality. For the web app, they developed it to enable clients to log their sleep information and calculate variables.  What is the team composition? About 4–5 people support us.  How did you come to work with Imaginovation? I reached out to a few companies that I found online, but Imaginovation got back to me the fastest—they responded to my email within the hour. I thought that was fantastic, and they were curious about what I was looking for. We set up a meeting to discuss details and started from there.  How much have you invested with them? We’ve spent around $23,000. What is the status of this engagement? We began working together in August 2019 and they will continue hosting and troubleshooting any issues for our platform.  **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?  My colleagues have all looked at the final products and gave really rave reviews. They’re impressed with the homepage of the website and the web app, too.  How did Imaginovation perform from a project management standpoint? We use Slack, so our communication is pretty instantaneous. They always respond within 20 minutes to any of my questions or concerns.  What did you find most impressive about them? Although their work is phenomenal, their communication from the start has been the most fantastic part. Not a lot of companies have that level of communication.  Are there any areas they could improve? No, I’ve been pleased with them from the start.  Do you have any advice for potential customers? Have a discovery meeting with them to discuss all the details. If everything is ready from the start, they’ll be able to hit the ground running. Knowing all the details is very important.  --- #### Software Dev of Client Portal for Law Firm **The Project** - Services: Custom Software Development - Project size: $200,000 to $999,999 - Project length: Aug. 2017 - July 2019 **Project Summary**: Imaginovation enhanced the front- and backend of a customer portal for a law firm. In their work, they prioritized security and employed InVision to design a more robust, intuitive solution. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 4.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Director of Client Services, Law Firm - Industry: Legal - Client size: 501-1,000 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Oct 31, 2019 **Feedback Summary**: Because of the added reporting and data visualization capabilities, the portal is now being used more frequently and differentiates the client’s services in the marketplace. The team provided noteworthy customer service with their attentive attitude and appropriate use of project management tools. "“If I voiced concern, they returned immediately with potential solutions.” " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. We’re a patent and trademark law firm, and I’m the director of client support services. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Imaginovation? We had a basic client portal that we developed in-house, so our clients could see their portfolio of cases to get up to date on their work with us. We employed Imaginovation to help us make the solution more robust. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? We started with design services. One of their graphic designers helped us determine the ideal look and feel of the final product. They used InVision to build out the design. From there, they got into the coding and development to implement the major updates we wanted.  The final app was integrated into our website as a secure user portal. It contains cost and deadline reminders for their cases, acting as an electronic portfolio of a party’s work with us.  What is the team composition? We worked directly with a project manager and designer on their side. How did you come to work with Imaginovation? They seem like a well-rounded company with plenty of expertise. The original solution was done using Lotus Notes, and they had a specialized Lotus Notes developer on staff. That was a good sign for us, but when we met with someone from their team to discuss the project, we were sold on their knowledge and capabilities.  How much have you invested with them? It cost between $500,000–$800,000. What is the status of this engagement? The project lasted from August 2017–July 2019. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? Our sales team has been able to utilize the updated system to sell our services as something unique and customer-centric. Most law firms don’t have this technology, especially something this stable. Because of its increased stability, we’re able to use it with much more frequency for our clients. We’re leaning on it more, and our clients are able to obtain increased data from its interface.   How did Imaginovation perform from a project management standpoint? They were easy to work with because they were always available if I needed to call or meet with them. Additionally, they were active in making sure all of my requests were met. We used Jira and Slack to keep track of the project and how each feature was performing.  What did you find most impressive about them? They were pretty responsive. If I voiced concern, they returned immediately with potential solutions. We had urgent matters dealt with quickly because they prioritized communication. Are there any areas they could improve? I can’t think of anything.  Do you have any advice for potential customers? Provide them with a detailed description of what you’re looking for. That’ll make the process run more smoothly. --- #### Web Dev for Educational Company **The Project** - Services: Web Development - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: Mar. 2019 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Imaginovation is revamping a website for an educational company. They made the backend easier to manage, fixed glitchy features, and created an email marketing campaign with a discrete landing page. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Founder, BattleQuestions.com - Industry: Education - Client size: 11-50 Employees - Review Type: Online Review - Verified **The Review** — Sep 5, 2019 **Feedback Summary**: The website is now more reliable and receiving fewer complaints from customers. Imaginovation delivers high-quality web development work on time. Their quick response times and technical knowledge make for a smooth workflow. ""With Imaginovation, we feel like we've hit the jackpot!" " **BACKGROUND** Please describe your company and your position there. BattleQuestions.com supports teachers and schools that participate in the Battle of the Books reading incentive programs around the United States. Thousands of questions are written from books that are selected by educational organizations. Those questions then automatically generate into interactive games and quizzes to help Battle of the Books teams effectively practice and ultimately become champions in all levels of competition; county, regional, and state. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** For what projects/services did your company hire Imaginovation? Needed a few issues fine-tuned and most importantly, we needed our site to be reliable for teachers to use in the classroom environment. When "technological difficulties" occur, most kids don't sit quietly and calmly while the teacher tries to figure things out. What were your goals for this project? Originally, we were just interested in having a responsive and experienced group to ensure our site was reliable for our customers. After meeting with the Imaginovation team, we got much more: marketing advice, user interface suggestions, fixes to issues we didn't even know about, and all with a no-pressure collaborative atmosphere. The site has never run more smoothly and we sleep much better for it. **SOLUTION** How did you select this vendor? We interviewed several web support companies, carefully read reviews, and felt most comfortable with Imaginovation. We spoke for about 45 minutes over the phone initially. They recorded the conversation and were nice enough to send me a copy so my partner could review our conversation. We then met in person, agreed upon a couple improvements the site needed, and its been great since then. The site crashed one day, due to our last company leaving a back door open. Joe answered his phone immediately, diagnosed the problem with his team, and had the site back up in 30 minutes. Didn't charge us a dime. (Though we do now have a discretionary fund for future occasions.) Describe the project and the services they provided in detail. The team improved our admin controls: allowing for deletion of book questions from the database, allowing for deletion of customer subscriptions, closed a "back door" that made our site vulnerable, fixed a complex multi-player interface with all three games so it now operates smoothly and without glitches, and began an email advertising campaign with a landing site that has created multiple leads. What was the team composition? We've worked mostly with Joe, Zach, Pete, and Michael. Every meeting is timely, organized and productive. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business? We now have complete confidence in our system. Before, we were nervous to have glitches bare their ugly head at conferences. We'd also get angry emails from customers about the unreliability, how the website was running very slowly, or that the multiplayer function was not working. NO MORE! BattleQuestions.com is finally a solid and dependable product, thanks to Imaginovation. How was project management arranged and how effective was it? All contracted work is discussed to ensure our mutual understanding. It is then laid out in a contract that we all sign. As the project is in development, the guys keep us posted about progress and give us access to the development site. We use the Slack app that allows all involved parties to view and participate in communications. What did you find most impressive about this company? So this is our fourth web design/support company we've worked with. Separated from the first due our agreeing that the scope of his skills could not encompass what we needed, as we had grown. Left the second when they just kept charging for fixes that they didn't/couldn't fix. Third try we thought would be the charm, but alas, no. The third company had the tech skills but lacked responsiveness and general social skills to work collaboratively. With Imaginovation, we feel like we've hit the jackpot! Tech skills, that's a big yes. Responsiveness: usually within minutes of contact, and if my message is marked "urgent" I get an actual phone call within minutes. Caring/collaboration: This team has sat down with us multiple times, learned our business on a deep level, and is working with us to continue to grow exponentially. We feel VERY fortunate to have formed this relationship with Imaginovation and look forward to many more years of success with them as partners. Are there any areas for improvement? Maybe they're workaholics. Communicated through the Slack app one Sunday, just so they'd see it first thing Monday morning. Both Pete and Joe responded within an hour, ON A SUNDAY. Hope they don't burn out. --- #### Web Dev for Business Credit Builder **The Project** - Services: Web Development - Project size: $50,000 to $199,999 - Project length: Dec. 2017 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Imaginovation designed a new integrated platform for a B2B financial assessment company, creating an enterprise data solution. Their team also created a logo, videos, business cards, and brochures. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 4.5 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** CEO, Contractor Score LLC - Industry: Financial services - Client size: 11-50 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Jul 30, 2019 **Feedback Summary**: The website and database fit the exact specifications of the project. Imaginovation is incredibly communicative, providing weekly updates which make for a successful ongoing relationship. Their expertise and technical knowledge allow them to deliver highly specified solutions. "“I loved how frequently they would reach out to me.” " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I am the president of Contractor Score LLC, a company that provides B2B financial assessments of commercial construction contractors. Our background is in construction finance and accounting. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Imaginovation? Our company assesses a contractor’s financial strength based on internal reports and financial statements. From there, we render a score that other contractors use to ascertain their financial viability for a project.  We had a relatively primitive website and database tools to accomplish this. Our team had gotten to the point where we needed a professional website and database to form an integrated platform. We were looking for a complete enterprise solution to run the operation and allow customers to interact with us. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? Imaginovation developed a website and database for our company. They created the exact solution we were looking for and built a cohesive platform. Their team integrated essential features that allowed us to interact with consumers and execute transactions. We later went on to launch other small projects with Imaginovation. They’ve created videos, business cards, and brochures for our company. Their team also did the graphic design for our website, including completely redoing our logo. What is the team composition? We worked primarily with Zach (Senior Project Manager, Imaginovation). I also interacted with two principles on an interim basis so I always had contact with senior management. Altogether, we worked with six members of the Imaginovation team, three consistently and three here and there. How did you come to work with Imaginovation? I searched for developers online. We had two qualifications in mind, the vendor has to be able to develop an enterprise database solution and they had to be local so I could meet with them face to face. Imaginovation met both of these requirements.  How much have you invested with them? We have invested about $125,000. What is the status of this engagement? Our ongoing engagement with Imaginovation began in December 2017. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?  The Imaginovation team created the exact solution we were looking for. The visuals and graphics are wonderful. How did Imaginovation perform from a project management standpoint? We communicated with Imaginovation over Slack and one other software. It helped our teams document every issue that came up, and their team could track whether it’s been resolved or not.  What did you find most impressive about them? I loved how frequently they would reach out to me. It never rested on my shoulders to contact them about an issue. Imaginovation contacted me once a week during big projects. Their communication has been outstanding.  Are there any areas they could improve? They were already fast but they have gotten even faster. Their team shared with me that they’ve made changes and improvements as our collaboration continued. They’ve updated their internal wireframes and code development. --- #### Mobile App Development for Dance-Focused Platform **The Project** - Services: Mobile App Development - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: Jan. 2025 - Mar. 2026 **Project Summary**: Imaginovation developed a mobile app for a dance-focused platform.

When Movement for Life approached us, their COO and product manager recognized the need for a new healthcare software solution that would not only address all of their internal pain points but also be a product that could potentially be sold to others in the industry. The Challenge Movement for Life faced significant challenges with the existing software offerings in the healthcare and physical therapy space. The available solutions simply did not meet their needs. They wanted a more comprehensive solution tailored specifically to their practice—one that could streamline operations, improve patient care, and be sold to others in the industry. The Solution We provided a full software development team to bring Everflex's healthcare solution to life. Starting with a high-level concept, acceptance criteria, and a rough design from Everflex, our team took these ideas. It transformed them into a fully operational software platform that exceeded expectations. The solution includes a user-friendly interface for practitioners and patients, streamlined processes for managing appointments and patient records, and a robust backend to handle all the operational needs of Everflex's clinics. The new software simplifies day-to-day activities and ensures higher-quality care and an improved patient experience. The Results From the start, Everflex clarified that they wanted this product to be something we could be proud of—something we felt ownership of. They wanted us to feel like this product was as much ours as it was theirs. We did just that, making the software a natural extension of how they run their business. Everflex's COO stated, "Imaginovation not only met but exceeded our expectations, helping us transform our operations into a seamless digital experience." 50% Reduction in software stack complexity 30% Increase in patient engagement ### CREE: Digital Transformation & Web App Project CREE Lighting is an innovative lighting design company that specializes in indoor, outdoor, and LED bulb lighting for consumers and businesses.

They help other companies establish a strong brand presence through digital strategies by applying market data. The SML Group was seeking a full redesign and development of their existing E-Platform, which was a legacy system that managed all of their retail brand's “tag” printing abilities and more. While their current program was operational, many customers complained about its ease of use. SML came to us to improve the UI and UX. SML had a backend system in place along with tons of functionalities and data. Our team at Imaginovation was tasked with developing the frontend with an intuitive UI/UX design that would create a seamless process for both customers and SML employees. The true challenge here was simplification. SML had tons of resources and datasets – but they needed a program that was user-friendly yet powerful. ### Mecklenburg: Web App Development for Non-Profit Mecklenburg Community Church, more commonly referred to as "Meck" started in 1992 and is one of the largest churches in the city of Charlotte, NC, and is also virtually located through their Online Campus.

They specialize in premium custom home building and renovations. With a growing client base and complex quoting needs, DFB required a reliable and scalable internal quoting platform to support their sales staff during consultations and streamline the entire project proposal process. The Challenge Design First Builders team was using an outdated quote builder ("SpecBook") plagued by: Severe performance issues that slowed down or even took down the platform during updates A clunky review UI requiring excessive horizontal scrolling Limited admin control, making it hard to update specifications, cost formulas, or templates efficiently A non-intuitive quoting flow, frustrating the sales staff and leading to inconsistent client experiences The lack of standardization and system trust forced staff into manual workarounds, directly impacting productivity and quote quality. The Solution The rebuilt SpecBook Quote Builder is now a robust, admin-configurable platform that empowers DFB’s sales team to: Generate precise, itemized quotes quickly Dynamically manage pricing rules, scopes, and cost breakdowns Export reports in CSV and PDF formats View specifications clearly without UI clutter Trust that backend updates won’t crash the platform mid-quote The Results The new SpecBook Quote Builder transformed DFB’s sales operations by significantly accelerating the quoting process and removing the frustration of downtime and inconsistent workflows. With a streamlined, intuitive interface, the sales team can now generate precise, itemized quotes in a fraction of the time, leading to higher staff satisfaction and improved client experiences. Standardized processes and dynamic pricing controls have not only reduced costly errors but also positioned the platform for future commercial expansion and white-labeling opportunities. ### Mashlife - Social Media Mobile App Development About Mashlife Mashlife is a mobile app built for the global social dance community. It brings together event hosts, dancers, vendors, and promoters in one place, making it simple to create, discover, and promote dance events. The app goes beyond event listings. Organizers can manage and promote their events with ease, vendors can showcase products like shoes and costumes to an engaged audience, and dancers can rate and review experiences to help build trust in the community. At its core, Mashlife is about connection, assisting people to come together through dance. The Challenge When Mashlife approached us, they had an exciting vision but faced several obstacles in bringing it to life: Frequent scope changes and evolving feature requests slowed development and made it difficult to stabilize the project. Technical blockers from earlier architecture decisions complicated the implementation of new requirements. Event date handling required complex logic to properly display recurring and custom schedules. Parsing city and state data from Google addresses led to inconsistent results, particularly in countries without state structures. Search functionality needed refinement to account for real-world use cases such as abbreviations (“NY” for New York). These challenges made it clear that Mashlife needed a structured approach to ensure a stable, scalable, and user-friendly product. The Solution The outcome of our work was a fully functional mobile app and admin panel tailored to the needs of the social dance community. Organizers can now create and promote events with flexible scheduling, vendors have a platform to showcase their products, and dancers can discover experiences with reliable search and transparent reviews. 6 monthsComplete development timeline 1 weekTime to launch after development 100%Adoption rate among target users at launch Future-readyBuilt on a scalable foundation for grow ### Global Top Talent - Web & Mobile App Development About Global Top Talent Global Top Talent is a revolutionary recruitment platform designed to invert the traditional job search model. Instead of candidates actively searching for jobs, Global Top Talent enables candidates to be discovered by companies based on their profiles, skills, and experiences. By empowering candidates to showcase their abilities and allowing companies to efficiently discover qualified individuals, the platform aims to solve common recruitment challenges such as mismatches, inefficiencies, and high turnover rates, ultimately reducing time-to-hire. The Challenge The recruitment industry traditionally relies on job seekers actively applying for positions, often resulting in frustration for both candidates and employers. This outdated process frequently leads to mismatches between candidate capabilities and job requirements, contributing to high turnover rates and dissatisfaction. For employers, inefficiencies in the hiring process translate into increased costs and extended time-to-hire periods. Global Top Talent sought to address these pain points by reversing the job search process—creating a platform that allows companies to discover candidates based on their skills, experience, and preferences. The solution needed to streamline the hiring process, improve matches, and ultimately reduce the time and costs associated with recruitment. Results The launch of Global Top Talent has streamlined the recruitment process, making it more efficient for both job seekers and employers. The platform's AI-driven matching has significantly reduced mismatches, leading to better job satisfaction and lower turnover rates. Employers have benefited from a reduction in time-to-hire and improved access to qualified candidates. User feedback has been highly positive, with both candidates and companies appreciating the ease of use and the innovative approach to hiring. Overall, Global Top Talent has successfully addressed the inefficiencies in traditional recruitment,  ### RUOS Utilities - Web & Mobile App Development About Ruos Utilities RUOS Utilities is a forward-thinking utilities management company focused on modernizing data collection and field operations. Before engaging with our team, they were dependent on fragmented and outdated systems like Excel, Esri Field Maps, and BatchGeo. These manual processes caused bottlenecks in project delivery and limited the platform’s scalability to other utility companies. With plans to scale and introduce a white-labeled solution to the broader market, RUOS set out to transform its workflows into a centralized, efficient, and modern software product—ultimately launching the RUOS Utilities platform. The Challenge RUOS faced several operational and technical hurdles: Manual processes using Excel and BatchGeo resulted in delays of up to 2 hours for mapping each project. Inefficient field data collection workflows led to poor technician productivity. Data syncing and reporting were often delayed or prone to errors. No centralized system for client management or subscription billing. The platform lacked the flexibility to scale across multiple utility companies. The Results The RUOS Utilities project successfully hit its core goals. It reduced time spent on mapping and reporting by over 50%, and real-time field data sync made technicians noticeably more efficient.  Automated reporting enabled seamless daily exports, while the scalable, white-labeled architecture made it easy to onboard new utility partners. Feedback from both technicians and admins was overwhelmingly positive, especially around usability and responsiveness. ### RUOS Utilities - Rental Mobile App Development About Ruos App Ruos is a community-driven app designed to help individuals and businesses rent tools and equipment within their local area. By enabling peer-to-peer rentals, Ruos provides an affordable and convenient solution for users who need tools for short-term projects but do not want to buy or rent from expensive outlets. The app aims to create a sense of community sharing while reducing costs for both casual DIYers and small businesses. The Challenge Accessing tools and equipment for short-term use has traditionally been inconvenient and costly. People either end up buying expensive equipment that they use infrequently or dealing with cumbersome rental processes at large stores. This results in wasted resources and inefficient use of tools that often remain idle. Ruos sought to address these issues by creating a local marketplace where individuals and businesses could easily list and rent tools from one another, saving money and fostering community connections. The Solution Ruos App is a peer-to-peer rental platform that allows users to rent tools and equipment from others in their local community. The solution includes a mobile app for users to list items, browse rentals, make payments, and manage rental transactions. The admin panel, built as a web application, helps manage platform activities, approve listings, and handle disputes. Results The launch of the Ruos App has provided a cost-effective and convenient solution for accessing tools and equipment. By enabling local, community-driven rentals, Ruos has reduced the need for expensive purchases and made tools more accessible for short-term use. User feedback has been highly positive, with many users highlighting the convenience of finding and renting tools nearby without the hassle of dealing with traditional rental outlets. ### Frangle - Social Media App Development About Frangle Frangle (Friends with the Right Angles) is a mobile-first social platform designed to help people in recovery build genuine friendships and explore romantic connections in a safe, judgment-free space.  The client came to us with a clear vision, a basic prototype, and thoughtfully crafted user flows for a community-focused app inspired by familiar dating experiences. Our role was to take that foundation and bring it to life with features tailored to sobriety, emotional safety, and shared values.  Frangle blends connection with intention, creating a space where recovery is respected and relationships are built on trust. The Challenge Frangle wasn’t just another social app. It needed to feel personal, private, and safe for a community that often faces stigma. While the concept was well-defined, turning it into a fully functioning product came with real challenges. The app had to verify sobriety without compromising anonymity, support both friendship and dating modes, enable secure real-time discovery, and create space for emotionally safe conversations. All of this had to fit within a simple, trustworthy mobile experience from the very first release. The Solution We brought the Frangle concept to life as a fully functional, mobile-first platform designed specifically for the recovery community. By combining essential social and dating features with thoughtful, sobriety-focused tools, the app delivers a unique experience that supports real connection without compromising safety or intent. Results Frangle’s MVP launch met all core objectives, delivering a stable, engaging product within the planned timeline. Early users responded positively, validating the platform’s mission and functionality. With a solid technical foundation in place, the app is well-positioned for broader rollout and future growth. ### USC LIFFE - Web Development About USC LIFFE USC Keck Medicine, a leading academic medical center, wanted to tackle the growing issue of e-cigarette use among young adults. They reached out to Imaginovation to create an innovative, interactive platform called USC LIFFE that would help users quit e-cigarettes by providing engaging content and essential support resources. The Challenge The project involved developing an interactive website with a character that could read predefined texts to educate users about the dangers of e-cigarettes. The platform needed to be both engaging and informative, making the learning process enjoyable for young adults. Additionally, it had to be scalable and accessible to reach a broad audience effectively. The ultimate goal was to captivate young users and promote awareness in a dynamic, enjoyable manner, encouraging healthier lifestyle choices. The Solution To address the problem, we developed a comprehensive solution focusing on both backend and frontend functionalities. On the backend, we implemented custom PIN and login functionalities, created a participant user list with log histories, and enabled user deletion and detailed information display. We added CSV download functionality, progress bars, and filters for user status, along with admin role updates for enhanced platform governance. On the frontend, we displayed overall completion progress bars, minutes spent on programs, and updated user avatars. We also enhanced program-specific quiz functionality and integrated audio and video features to enrich the learning experience.

It streamlined course enrollment, improved access to training materials, and enhanced the overall learning journey for students across industries. ### USC Sip N Savor - Web Development About USC Sip N Savor USC Sip N Savor is an interactive survey and intervention program developed to raise awareness among students on campus about their drinking behaviors. Designed to meaningfully engage students, the program incorporates video content, interactive modules, and advanced analytics to help students better understand their drinking habits while enabling administrators to manage participants and assess the program's success effectively. The Challenge USC needed a platform that could engage students in understanding their drinking behaviors through an interactive experience. The solution required seamless video integration, animations, advanced analytics, and a user-friendly interface across mobile, tablet, and desktop devices. Additionally, administrators needed tools to manage participant data, monitor engagement, and analyze program effectiveness. The Solution We built an interactive survey and intervention program that helps students become more aware of their drinking behaviors. The solution is mobile-first, optimized for ease of use, and features video content, animations, and an engaging layout to keep students involved. Administrators can track participation through advanced analytics that measure metrics such as login frequency, time spent in each module, and overall program completion rates.

Administrators now have the ability to effectively manage participation and evaluate the program's impact using comprehensive analytics. By focusing on a mobile-first approach and incorporating multimedia elements, we delivered a product that resonates with the target audience and makes a positive impact on student wellness. 55% Increase in student engagement with intervention content 50% Improvement in completion rates of behavioral surveys ### BattleQuestions - Custom Website Development About BattleQuestions BattleQuestions.com is a collaborative platform created by media specialists and teachers to support Battle of the Books coaches. The site offers thousands of questions, an easy-to-use interface, and fun interactive games.  We've enjoyed a great partnership with the BattleQuestions team for the past three years. Recently, they reached out to us to rebuild their website, aiming to make it faster, more modern, and easier to maintain. The Challenge The BattleQuestions.com website was becoming hard to maintain due to its outdated and deprecated codebase. We needed to refactor and rebuild it using modern technologies to ensure better sustainability and scalability. One major challenge was to migrate the existing data from the legacy database to the new system without disrupting the user experience. We aimed to ensure the user interface remained intuitive and familiar, even though the backend architecture was completely overhauled. The goal was to achieve a seamless transition, maintaining user satisfaction while enhancing the site's performance and maintainability. The Solution To address the challenges faced by BattleQuestions.com, we completely rebuilt the code base using a modern tech stack. The outdated code had made it difficult for the client to implement changes and resulted in poor performance. Our solution involved redesigning the system to be more efficient and easier to maintain. By selecting the right technologies and tailoring the system to the client's needs, we ensured that future change requests could be processed quickly and efficiently. The updated platform now performs better, is easier to maintain, and can adapt more readily to new requirements. The Results The revamped BattleQuestions.com platform now offers improved performance and is easier to maintain. The modernization efforts have led to a more sustainable and scalable system, enhancing the overall user experience for Battle of the Books coaches and participants.​ ### Strengthen Numbers - Application Rebuild About Strengthen Numbers Strengthen Numbers is a mobile app designed for the fitness community.
