Fulcrum Solutions developed a website for a beauty company. They conducted a discovery session, provided UI/UX designs, and created wireframes for each page.
Thanks to Fulcrum Solutions, the site's traffic greatly increased. The client was very satisfied with the deliverables and impressed with the partnership. The service provider's team was creative, efficient, and communicative via weekly meetings.
The client submitted this review online.
BACKGROUND
Please describe your company and your position there.
I am the owner of an online platform that uses data science to provide personalized beauty and skincare product recommendations.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
For what projects/services did your company hire Fulcrum Solutions, and what were your goals?
Our website's front-end needed an update to match the strong back-end that powers our recommendations. The recommendations themselves needed to be more streamlined, easy for consumers to click through and purchase, and with a consumer intake quiz that thoroughly gathered relevant information to provide strong recommendations.
SOLUTION
How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?
I selected the Fulcrum team having worked with a small subset of their team in a previous capacity. I really liked that working with the team, I would have access to a strong Product Owner, Project Manager, experienced Developers, and very creative UI/UX personnel.
Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.
We had a kick-off meeting where I shared my vision for the project, which the team then took back and built out the different sprints where they would build each subset of the website. We then met weekly to review their progress, and this was always visible on the Dev site where I could keep track of progress.
The team also created wireframes for each page and functionality that I signed off on before build, which allowed us to really align on how something would look and work before they built it out completely. The environment was very collaborative and allowed for the site to be built seamlessly.
How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
We worked with a Product Owner, a Project Manager, two UI/UX personnel, and two developers.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?
After launching the site, we have experienced exponential growth in traffic and trust from our users due to the increased ease of usability! We have now provided personalized recommendations to about 30,000 consumers.
Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.
We had a weekly stand up meeting where we reviewed their progress, and the work was divided into sprints so I always knew what the team was working on during a particular time.
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
Their creativity and ability to quickly design or update a wireframe were impressive. Their work truly wowed me every step of the way.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
The team is great and was very open to my comments for small bug fixes and changes.
