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

Hi-Fidelity Wireframes

High-fidelity wireframes had to visually represent the app's layout, content, and functionality. These wireframes are foundational for discussions, allowing for constructive feedback and ensuring the design aligned user and ministry expectations.

Interactive Prototypes

Following the wireframes, an interactive prototype had to be designed using Figma to simulate user interactions and workflows within the app. This prototype enables the team to navigate through the app's features. The goal is to have a fully interactive prototype that could be passed off to a team of developers. 

Style Guide + Documentation

To facilitate a smooth transition from design to development, detailed developer handoff documentation and annotated design files must be prepared. This documentation includes clear specifications, such as measurements, spacing, and the necessary assets required for implementation.

The outcome will be a complete set of handoff documents that provide clarity on design intent and technical requirements, ensuring that developers can accurately execute the design.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

This final design ensured all elements were polished and ready for development, providing a comprehensive set of assets and documentation. The outcome was a complete design solution that met user needs and aligned perfectly with ministry goals, setting the stage for the development team's successful implementation.

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

One of Livingstones greatest strengths. They maintained a clear overview of the project through a project dashboard. This dashboard gave us a clear timeline and progress of the project, including completed tasks, ongoing work, and upcoming items. The entire project was managed within this dashboard, enabling clear contextual feedback that consistently improved the final product.

Thanks to effective communication and quick iterations, we completed the project on time and delivered more than initially requested.

Strategic Execution

Livingstones doesn’t just fulfill design requests; they execute a strategic vision. Their ability to think critically about enhancing the product’s market impact sets them apart from many other designers.

Refinement 

This goes beyond the cliché "pays attention to detail." They require minimal critical feedback from our team and execute iterations so well that there’s little back-and-forth.

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

Nope!
