G-W Studios has worked with us on a number of projects during the last years. The projects have been both desktop and app-centered. Some of the projects have been full servixe with design, UX and tech and some only UX. If we could have chosen freely we would have used G-Ws services to all our digital project. The common denominator have always been a final product resulting in cutting edge design. stellar UX, brilliantly executed tech solutions - always on time. To quote my boss when talking about our last projekct, "please call them again".  

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

G-W has helped us raising the bar when it comes to design and user experience. Being a NGO, a great online experience helps building our brand and trust. This is crucial in times of missinformation. When being government funded, it's important to use all means wisely. G-W was time efficient, professional and delivered amazing results (both web-projects, app-projects, several stand alone UX-projects etc.) in time. 

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

I have several agencies delivering different projects but none has had the same time and money efficiency as G-W. Maria has been a very valuable resource to us, not only has she managed to lead project sucessfully but also managing some of the tricker workshop I've been to. When stakeholders need to be on the same page but aren't, its's not easy. Maria delivered great results AND kept everyone happy!
