OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What specific goals or objectives did you hire iArk Boutique Digital Agency to accomplish?

• We needed a whole redesign of our web assets. Our existing website was old and lucky because it had been created several years ago, so it wasn't presenting us in the best light.

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

iArk Boutique Digital Agency has helped revamp our web presence. One week after we started our conversation, we provided them with a brief. We had initially mapped our website; this was a diagram I put together outlining the interconnections between the different pages, the value of those different pages, the user flow through them, and the needs of each page. For the first phase of the project, iArk Boutique Digital Agency had to design something that was more representative of our brand, so there was a lot of design work involved. It took a lot of back and forth until we could actually get to the right type of design and layout we were looking for on our website. We were also looking for a website with a range of functionalities and abilities to place content and gate it depending on the users we were targeting and the people visiting our site. iArk Boutique Digital Agency has created a backend for our site that allows us to give users access to more in-depth content pertaining to the industry vertical they belong to. Currently, we're about to finalize the website. We're just adding final touches needed, but the project itself is done.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The feedback from customers has been generally very positive. They've told us that our new website is more in tune with our brand and what we offer. As for the internal feedback, everyone seems to love our new website.

As for quantitative feedback, it is hard to provide actual numbers because we have multiple projects going on, so tracking of metrics depends on other things. For example, there was a time when we actually lost user accounts, so it's hard to tell for sure the impact of the new website.

However, comparing the last two weeks of data to last year's same period, our metrics are actually stronger. Our business is very cyclical, so this result is actually impressive. Still, I can't provide more accurate data because the new website launch is quite fresh.

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

Everything has been delivered on time. Although there have been small delays, those were caused by us wanting to go back to the drawing board. When we moved ahead with the project, we realized that we wanted a little bit more than what we had commissioned.

What was your primary form of communication with iArk Boutique Digital Agency?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

iArk Boutique Digital Agency has thought about everything I've wanted from a marketing perspective without me having to ask for it. Initially, we wanted a website using a preexisting theme, but we weren't sure about it. Maksym talked with me and told me that they could use the theme we wanted but warned me that it would make the website heavier and clunkier. He also offered to build the website entirely from scratch for us.

Initially, I was a little bit nervous about building the site from scratch. However, I ultimately found the backend they built to be very simple and easy to use. For example, they recently set up a case study feature, which creates a case study page for each case study.

Thanks to this feature, I can simply go to the backend, create a new case study, paste the text, and change the images and colors myself without affecting the site. I break things very easily, but thus far, I haven't broken the site.

Are there any areas for improvement or something iArk Boutique Digital Agency could have done differently?

There's nothing iArk Boutique Digital Agency could improve on. They've been incredible, and the project would have been a lot harder with another agency.

How many teammates from iArk Boutique Digital Agency were assigned to this project?

2-5 Employees

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

iArk provided a powerful web platform with a customized dashboard that allowed staff members to monitor their wellness activities, set objectives, and access tools like fitness challenges, mindfulness exercises, and dietary advice.  They developed an analytics platform for employers to track participation, assess program efficacy, and produce wellness initiative reports.  Additionally, the site included configurable wellness challenges, safe wearable device integration, and a resource library with information on a range of health-related subjects.  To enhance wellbeing, the design placed a strong emphasis on flexible layouts for all platforms, easy-to-use navigation, and a soothing, uplifting aesthetic.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

With users frequently taking part in challenges and making use of resources, the portal greatly raised employee involvement in wellness initiatives.  Employers valued being able to customize programs to meet the needs of their workforce and reported having more visibility into the success of their health initiatives.  Positive comments from employers and employees were generated by the platform's tailored experience and easy-to-use interface, underscoring its contribution to the promotion of a healthy and happy workplace culture.

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

iArk used an agile methodology, delivering features on time and taking employer and employee input into account at every stage of development.  They were very receptive to our needs, promptly resolving any problems and adjusting to our changing specifications.  Transparent communication and frequent check-ins made sure the project remained on track with our objectives.

What was your primary form of communication with iArk Boutique Digital Agency?

Email or Messaging App

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

Particularly noteworthy was iArk's profound comprehension of wellness and capacity to design a platform that felt powerful and encouraging.  To make sure the platform met practical demands, they carried out user research with HR teams and employees. This led to features like wearable integration and customized health regimens.  Every feature of the platform demonstrated their dedication to data protection and privacy.

Are there any areas for improvement or something iArk Boutique Digital Agency could have done differently?

The employer analytics dashboard's usability was slightly improved in early iterations, but iArk swiftly improved the UI in response to user input.  Although they were created cooperatively after launch, more employer onboarding materials could have hastened uptake.
