Please describe your company and your position there.

I am a board member of a voluntary data organization in Norway called Sunnmøre Data and Culture. We do LAN and sports events.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Lexogrine, and what were your goals?

SOLUTION

How did you select Lexogrine and what were the deciding factors?

The reason I chose Lexogrine was because I used Hubert Walczak / 0sh10's earlier version of it. I knew that what he worked on before was very good and decided to join the transition to Lexogrine.

We had no meeting, i just sendt over the assets and mockups of how i wanted the hud to look like.

I am really very happy with the result and have nothing negative to say.

There is not much to say about it for my part, I had contact with their developer directly so all of the information flow went very fast. I set a deadline for the project and they were finished well before that.

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

That they are so accessible and that it is the only open source csgo hud manager that exists with so many features.

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

Not that I know of, I like that they have a discord server where you can submit suggestions for features we want, and most of them are added reasonably quickly.

The project started in August 2020 and it’s ongoing.

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

The project has been great. I’ve been in the tech industry for the last 20 years and I can tell a good designer or a good process from a bad one. Lexogrine is good. The team knows what they’re doing and they have a strong aesthetic. They also have quite a bit of range in the types of apps that they can design. I feel strongly about their ability to deliver.

We communicate through email, slack, and occasionally through Zoom calls. Lexogrine hits every deadline. Everything goes through Sigma so it’s easy to drop comments and they iterate on those immediately.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Lexogrine understands the project — I don’t have to get into much detail. I can give them a high-level explanation of the aesthetic of what I’m looking for and they can make it. That’s amazing because it’s just a short conversation about what I want. That’s also rare and that’s why I keep working with them. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

There’s nothing to improve so far. I’m going to continue working with them and we’ll see if anything comes up. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Work with them because they’re good. If you can find them and they have the bandwidth, they’ll do a better job than anybody else on your radar.
