They helped us define the optimal approach across UI/UX design, web and mobile development, identify potential technical risks, and structure the delivery process before moving into production. Their team supported the project end to end, from creating user-friendly interfaces and responsive designs to frontend and backend development, CMS configuration, third-party integrations, and mobile application implementation. They also contributed to AI-powered functionality, helping integrate intelligent features and automation where they could improve the user experience and business processes. The solutions were designed to work consistently across web, mobile, different devices, and major browsers, while remaining scalable and manageable for the internal team. The key deliverables included approved UI/UX designs, fully functional web and mobile solutions, a flexible content management system, required API and AI integrations, reusable components, performance improvements, and thorough quality assurance before launch.

The final solutions were responsive, user-friendly, and worked correctly across the main browsers, devices, and mobile platforms. The implemented features, including AI-powered functionality and third-party integrations, passed our internal review without any critical issues before launch.

We received a stable and scalable technical foundation that supported the current business requirements and could be expanded with additional web, mobile, and AI-driven functionality in the future.

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

The project was managed in a clear and structured way across UI/UX design, web development, mobile development, and AI-related tasks. Malevich Studio divided the work into well-defined stages, coordinated the different specialists effectively, kept us informed about progress, and delivered the agreed items within the planned timeline. Communication was straightforward and comfortable. The team responded quickly to questions and feedback, regularly presented completed work, and explained both design and technical decisions in a practical way. When requirements or priorities changed, they adapted the workflow efficiently without disrupting the overall delivery process or causing unnecessary delays.

What was your primary form of communication with Malevich?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

What stood out most was Malevich Studio’s ability to combine strong expertise in UI/UX design, web and mobile development, and AI-powered solutions within one coordinated team. They understood both the technical requirements and the business goals behind the project, identified potential risks early, and suggested practical improvements where they saw a more reliable, user-friendly, or scalable approach. They did not simply follow the requirements but took ownership of the result. The team paid close attention to design consistency, usability, technical quality, and performance, and remained involved until all agreed feedback had been addressed.

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

Some design and technical decisions required additional explanation for colleagues without a technical background. However, the team was always available to clarify their recommendations and provided the necessary context whenever we asked. Overall, the collaboration was smooth, and we were satisfied with both the process and the final result.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

We hired Malevich Studio for our website design and development. Our goal was to get a nice-looking, useful, and bugless eShop. Then we continued our collaboration with Malevich with the request for business automatization - in the past, we used Google sheets for order management and communications with the storage operations team. It was hell! Now they are working on a new version of our site with renewal design, SPA and PWA technologies, and new features.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

I based my decision on feedbacks on freelance platform. Key reasons were a good cost and team location.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

We had a call with the manager and developer of Malevich Studio. We discussed technical issues and design and describe our vision of the site. They sent us a few design options. I discussed it with my cofounders and we select one of them. Soon we got a ready working site. It is based on PHP and Yii2 framework.

About CRM. Malevich Studio for deep research of our business operation process. They proposed a few solutions for our issue. We didn't believe in the success of this project because it was very difficult and confusing. But all issues were solved. All processes became automated and clear to understand and our team is happy.

Our recent collaboration regards the renewal of our website. The approach was similar to our first experience - we had a meeting with the manager, designer, and developer of Malevich Studio and we discussed our vision of the new website and how it can be implemented. Then they provided us with the design, and after some changes, we approved it and started a development which is ongoing now.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

We worked with a manager, two designers, 4 or 5 developers, and 1 QA specialist. In total up to 10 people, but not at the same time.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

As I mentioned before we received a cool CRM system - made to cover our business needs. We reduced the time of operations (for the new order) from approximately 2 hours to less than 15 minutes from receiving an order to preparing it for delivery. Decreasing amount of mistakes in operations (wrong delivery adresses, etc.). Also, our new website is much more fit for mobile devices, because we realized that over 80% of our orders are made from phones.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

Their manager always collects all information before the start of work, including deep consideration of our business processes. Then we receive a detailed estimation of the cost of each stage or task, and terms of implementation - so we can plan our expenses. About communication - their answer us even on the weekend. We have direct communication with the development team and developers can ask about all unclear issues or warn about unexpected issues.

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

They surprised me with their attention to listening and hearing what I was telling them about my business. Also, they have made propositions that could improve my website even if the cost of development became less - I appreciate it.

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

Nothing to improve
