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

The project began with a thorough analysis of our existing systems and infrastructure. Mind Studios then designed and developed a completely new website with a different tech stack, ensuring faster loading times and better scalability. They also migrated our internal tools to a unified, cloud-based platform, integrated a secure user management system, and implemented custom dashboards for real-time performance monitoring. Key deliverables included the redesigned corporate website, internal admin panels, secure APIs, detailed documentation, and post-launch support.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Honestly, we were amazed by the improvements right after launch. Our website pages started loading almost twice as fast. We also noticed that people were sticking around longer and exploring more pages. On the backend side, tasks that used to take our team forever were suddenly automated, which saved us a ton of time — we calculated internal processes became about 40% faster. Plus, we started getting more inquiries from potential clients through the new website, which was really exciting to see.

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

Working with Mind Studios was a breath of fresh air. They were super organized from the start, broke the project down into clear milestones, and always let us know where things stood. We never felt like we were left in the dark — updates came regularly, and we could see real progress week by week. They were also great at listening to our feedback and making changes quickly. Everything we needed was delivered right on time, or even a bit earlier in some cases, which was a huge plus for us.

We’re a hospitality platform, and our goal is to make it easy for people to book on-demand, personalized services in vacation communities. I’m part of the executive team.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Mind Studios?

We wanted to create an online presence, but we didn’t have the technology or development capabilities to build a website. Hence, we hired Mind Studio to develop one for us.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Mind Studio developed our website from scratch. Initially, we held discovery calls with them, during which we discussed the scope of work in detail. Then, they came back to us with a proposal based on our requirements and budget and explained the next steps of the project. From there, they proceeded with the work, handling both the development and UI/UX design process. They also integrated a payment system into the site and provided maintenance and hosting services.

Their team used Figma to create the designs and various technologies for development, including PHP and Ruby.

What is the team composition?

We worked with several people from their team, including Dmytro (Co-Founder & CEO), a project manager, front- and backend developers, and a UI/UX designer.

How did you come to work with Mind Studios?

They were recommended to us.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent $50,000 on the project.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together on the project from February–June 2022.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

In terms of metrics, we were really focused on the number of bookings and total revenue generated. After launching our website, we managed to hit our revenue goals by September 2022.

How did Mind Studios perform from a project management standpoint?

They stayed on budget and met most of our deadlines. We used Jira and Confluence for managing tasks and communicated via Slack, email, and WhatsApp.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We were impressed with Mind Studios’ ability to get things done quickly.

Are there any areas they could improve?

It took a lot of effort to communicate with their team effectively due to the language barrier; we really had to spell things out in order for them to understand what we were saying and not waste time. That being said, it would be helpful if they had an English representative or someone from the US working with American clients, especially on the UI/UX design process.
