Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

We initially shared the previous design with DesignX and provided a detailed project brief outlining our goals and vision. After reviewing our requirements, their team proposed a new design approach and worked closely with us to refine it throughout the engagement. The project lasted approximately 17 months, and all design work was created in Figma. Their team was responsible for designing the user experience and interface while incorporating our feedback throughout the process.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

We conducted user acceptance testing with potential customers and received very positive feedback regarding the usability, visual quality, and overall UX of the design. The response gave us confidence that the new design was a significant improvement over the previous version.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Overall, their project management was very good. There were a few challenges during the project, but the team handled them professionally and remained flexible.

For example, we initially worked with one designer whose style was not fully aligned with our expectations. When we shared our concerns, DesignX responded positively, assigned a different designer, and did not charge us any additional fees. We appreciated their willingness to adapt and ensure the project stayed on track.

We held weekly meetings that were productive and insightful, and communication was excellent throughout the engagement. We primarily communicated through Slack, email, Zoom, and Google Meet.

What was your primary form of communication with DesignX?

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

They were very well prepared; the design surprised many people. Their work was very well-crafted; they delivered a good outcome.

Are there any areas for improvement or something DesignX could have done differently?

It’d be good if they added a phase to give more insights into what’s happening in the market before starting the design. They could go deeper, but generally, we were really satisfied with what they did.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with DesignX?

Our existing website and application experience no longer reflected the quality of our platform. We wanted to modernize the UX, improve usability, and create a more polished and professional digital presence. The goal was to make it easier for prospective users to navigate the application process while ensuring the design aligned with our brand and long-term product vision.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

DesignX has handled the complete UI/UX design of our web application. They’ve worked with us to redesign the user journey, create wireframes and high-fidelity designs, and develop a consistent design system in Figma. Their team has focused heavily on the application and onboarding process, ensuring it’s intuitive and aligned with our brand.Key deliverables have included:

• User flows and journey mapping
• Wireframes and screen layouts
• High-fidelity UI designs
• Interactive Figma prototypes
• Responsive desktop and mobile designs
• Design system and reusable UI components
• Developer handoff documentation

They’ve also provided support during the transition into development to ensure the designs are implemented as intended.

What is the team composition?

We’ve worked with 2–5 teammates from DesignX.

How did you come to work with DesignX?

We found them through an online search and a referral. Their pricing fit our budget, they were a great culture fit, and they offered good value for the cost.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent around $10,000–$50,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in November 2025, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

The main goal of the redesign is to create a better UX and support future business growth. Since we’re still completing the project, we haven’t measured the full business impact yet. However, DesignX has been very responsive, flexible, and has delivered beyond our expectations throughout the process.Moreover, the early feedback from our internal team has been very positive. The redesigned application flow is much clearer, more structured, and easier to understand compared to the previous version.Our team has appreciated how DesignX has simplified the user journey and translated our requirements into a more modern and intuitive experience. The design reviews and Figma collaboration sessions have helped us identify improvements early and make decisions with more confidence before development begins.We’ve set several KPIs to track once the new design is launched. These will include user engagement, completion rates for the application process, time taken to complete key tasks, and overall user feedback. We also want to monitor whether the improved design helps reduce friction for users and creates a smoother experience when applying for programs.

How did DesignX perform from a project management standpoint?

They’ve hit every point on their timeline. Moreover, they go above and beyond the original scope. We’ve brought up something extra at some point, and they’ve accommodated us without a problem.We primarily communicate through virtual meetings and emails or messaging apps.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their biggest strength is their domain knowledge; they know their work.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, they cover everything.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

We basically asked them to design & build our website . We started off by passing some documentation their way to get things off the ground . We used Figma and Adobe for design and Webflow for development, they were the ones actually doing all the hard work . The site is an informational one with a bit of a subscription system , and they also happened to create our website's content . So at this point , they're providing ongoing maintenance as well.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

It's a bit too early to say for sure . The website just went live last week , so we haven't had time to really measure the impact yet . That being said, the quality of their work has been way beyond what we were expecting

So they've been great at delivering on time and within budget. We actually use Notion for project management and Slack for comms...

I think it's their ability to actually understand our business, that's really key to a successful partnership. We've worked with a lot of companies that just don't get it, but DesignX really does. And on top of that, they communicate effectively and deliver on time. A winning combination.

Although there's always space for improvement, there's nothing negative to say about DesignX's work.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

We worked with DesignX to create Lassoo's public-facing digital presence from scratch - and we're talking a complete overhaul. This involved bringing our website, email marketing infrastructure, and brand design assets all under one roof.

• Website & Brand Design: DesignX built our website using Webflow, which included the Home Page with all the bells and whistles (hero animations, subscription modals etc) as well as a For Developers page, Blog with Content Management System integration, Contact Sales, Careers and inner pages. The one area we're still working on is the Use Case page - but everything else is almost there, pending a final quality control check.
• Email Marketing: In addition to website development, DesignX set up our full MailerLite account, which included setting up our blog subscribers list, a waitlist campaign, and automating our blog-to-subscriber pipeline whenever we post new content on our CMS. We're also now tracking attribution on all website forms
• Design Assets: The DesignX team created a Welcome Email template and a modular email component library in Figma, not to mention marketing banners in three different formats (Instagram feed, Stories, LinkedIn/web) and even Investor update email templates. All of the source files are stored in Figma, ready to use.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Before we started working with them, we had no functional website, no email marketing setup, and no brand design assets. By the end of the project, we had a fully functional website on core pages, a live email marketing setup, and a whole library of email and social media design templates at our disposal. On top of that, we've got live waitlist and blog subscriber forms that are collecting leads from day one. It's been a real game-changer for us - we didn't even have a website a few months ago and now we've got a pro-looking digital presence that's actively being used.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

The simple answer is, really well!

They were super responsive and reliable, and consistently delivered on-time throughout the project. What really stood out to us though was the whole team's genuine interest in our project and in helping us deliver something amazing. They weren't just focusing on their individual tasks, they were all chipping in with ideas and suggestions on UX flow and creative thinking. They went above and beyond what we asked for, bringing up ideas and solutions we hadn't even thought of. Communication was always easy and proactive, and we never felt like we weren't a priority.

What was your primary form of communication with DesignX?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

What really set DesignX apart was the culture of their team. Everyone was always willing to go the extra mile and it didn't feel like it was just because they were told to. What was really impressive was how they dug deep into UX thinking, they genuinely cared about how users would experience our product and were proactively flagging up potential improvements and ideas throughout the project. That kind of ownership and dedication is hard to find, and it really made a huge difference to the final product.

Are there any areas for improvement or something DesignX could have done differently?

To be honest, we can't really think of anything. Our experience with DesignX has been top-notch so far.

I am the CEO of Blue Inspect, a company in the financial services industry. Blue Inspect solutions provide insights into the whereabouts of equipment, collect condition reports, and help reduce risk, prevent fraud, and save time and money.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with DesignX?

Everything related to our service was very difficult for consumers to use, so we needed to create a good UI/UX. We had previously hired others for UI/UX, but always got stuck at some point. Our goal was to continuously improve and innovate the user experience, so we partnered with DesignX as our design agency.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

DesignX provided UI/UX design services for our mobile app. They delivered a complete UI/UX redesign, including user experience flows, wireframes, interactive prototypes, and final design assets using Figma. They reviewed our existing product, researched user journeys, and redesigned key workflows to make the platform more intuitive. They also documented design decisions and process flows to align our internal development efforts. As our partnership has expanded, they have also been involved in designing and planning a new website experience for our brand.

How did you find DesignX?

I usually search for new partners myself on Google. For this engagement, I looked at various teams, assessed their capabilities and skills, and then got in touch to discuss their ideas, current work, and past projects.

Why did you select DesignX over others?

Pricing fit our budget and they offered good value for cost.

What is the status of this engagement?

The project started in March 2025 and is ongoing.

How much have you invested with them?

$200,000 to $999,999

How many teammates from DesignX were assigned to your project?

I have worked with the head of design, two UI/UX specialists, a graphic designer, a brand strategist, and a website development specialist. The developer also partly works as a QA engineer, checking all the designs to ensure everything is correct.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

We recently achieved three bronze awards from the Lovie Awards for a couple of the designs we created with DesignX, which was an impressive measure of success. These awards included the people’s award, which means that a lot of people voted for us. We’ve also measured the success of this project by seeing how well our app is performing in the app stores. Most importantly, we measure our success by looking at our help desk activity. Receiving a lot of complaints means that something isn’t working. However, our service tickets are decreasing, as people find it easier to use our solution as they get familiar with it, which is very easy due to the way it has been designed. Of course, we’re not done yet, as this is an ongoing partnership.

What was your primary form of communication with DesignX?

We primarily communicated through virtual meetings and email or messaging apps.

How did DesignX perform from a project management standpoint?

DesignX is great at delivering on time, understanding that excellent design takes time. We do not work with strict deadlines to avoid forcing the process, but we have internal deadlines that consider both design and development. We use Asana for project management, and at a higher level, Atlassian tools like Jira and Confluence for documentation management.

What did you find most impressive about them?

DesignX is a very smart team; they can think outside the box. Finding a team that can work creatively on an already-designed mobile app is very difficult. This project has been a very challenging assignment for them. Still, I’ve noticed that DesignX has paid close attention to the project. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have succeeded. They’ve done proper research and delivered according to our expectations.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I have not experienced any area in which DesignX could improve. We work well together and solve any issues as a team by communicating openly and addressing problems as they arise.

The team delivered on time and went well beyond the original scope. Micro animations and responsive design, SEO optimization, page speed, and conversion rate optimization were vastly improved. They also handled copywriting, image editing, CRM integration, and built out blog functionality so we could manage content ourselves.  I'd  recommend DesignX to anyone looking for a team that combines high-end design quality with real technical execution.

They were highly flexible and collaborative and their deliverables exceeded our expectations.

What was your primary form of communication with DesignX?

No. I loved working with them.
