Halo was engaged to design and develop a new website for Speedy Sticks. Their scope of work included website strategy, user experience (UX) and visual design, and the build of a redesigned public-facing website to better reflect our brand, services, and nationwide mobile phlebotomy operations.

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

Nothing comes to mind

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the learning experience designer at Coach Vikram & Company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Halo Lab?

We needed support in designing and developing our new website. We also needed support in designing a leadership self-assessment app.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Halo Lab designed and developed our new website. We had built a new brand separately and brought it to them. The team implemented our new brand in the design and development of the new website. We provided them with our branding book so they could build the website around it. 

Halo Lab underwent an assessment process in which they researched our brand and competitors. Based on that, they made a series of recommendations. Then, they created a mock-up and began building the website page by page. The team used a similar process for the app.

The app was available for iOS and Android, and also included a web app. To be clear, the team only designed the app; they didn’t develop it. Meanwhile, we wanted to focus attention on our people and reviews. When users came to the website, they could dynamically click on reviews. We also have a wheel model — as users scrolled down, the wheel moved on its own.

What is the team composition?

We worked with a project manager, designers, developers, a finance operations associate, and the COO.

How did you come to work with Halo Lab?

I found them on Google and used Clutch to review them.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent around $25,000. 

What is the status of this engagement?

The project lasted from July–November 2025. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We launched the website only recently, so we don’t have any metrics yet. However, Halo Lab’s work exceeded our expectations. The aesthetic and brand implementation were fantastic. It was a lovely experience.

How did Halo Lab perform from a project management standpoint?

Halo Lab’s project management was excellent. They delivered the work on time and on budget. We had constant communication. We used Figma the entire time. The team used Notion for project management.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Halo Lab’s creativity and execution were impressive.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They’re a Ukraine-based organization, but their website doesn’t provide a sense of who the people there are. When you’re in the US, you’re worried about being protected under American laws. Halo Lab is registered in Andorra, which is not an independent country. All of that adds to the complexities of engaging with them. They would benefit from figuring out how to be registered in the US or being more transparent about what kind of agency they’re running, so people feel more at ease investing with them.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Have as much clarity as possible about how you want your brand to look and feel, and what you want your users to feel and do when they engage with your product.

Halo recreated our existing another portal with a completely new experience and interface that is much more modern and beautiful, greatly increasing usability and delight for the end user. We had about 100 different screens and variations to design, and Halo partnered with us with expert visual design and usability recommendations.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Halo developed our new donor portal in Figma after performing hours of research, competitive analysis, wireframing and more, which all led to over 100 new screens of beautiful UX/UI work. The end result was a Figma file and prototype with all the assets and instructions our team needed to code the site.

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

Halo was terrific with their project and time management. We worked with them daily via Slack and Figma comments. Often, we left requests, dreams, and edits by end of day and woke up the next morning to find most everything done or in process. It was fun going through such a creative partner who added so much expertise and value to the work product. 

Sometimes we asked for things that weren't the best idea, and the Halo team carefully gave us rationale and other options to achieve the same goals. But they also didn't force their opinions on us. In the end, it was our final product, and they deferred to us for final decisions.

What was your primary form of communication with Halo Lab?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

Halo's deep expertise in UX/UI was evident throughout the project, and their consistency was key: once we made an important UI decision, they meticulously applied it to all screens nicely. As well, Halo was super flexible. We didn't love some of their initial designs, but we worked collaboratively to dream and look at other great examples from around the web, and then Halo's rounds 2, 3,+ were awesome designs. 

Plus, Halo Lab keeps pivoting based on new ideas and brainstorms that we have throughout the project. Numerous times we asked if they could do a sidebar to explore a new direction, and they handled it all beautifully.

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

Our only improvement area for Halo would be clearer communications. Because we were in the U.S. and Halo is in Ukraine, occasionally there were language or clarity gaps. But it was nothing big or too difficult to overcome.
