Perpetual

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the senior project manager of DCF Advertising, a creative agency.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Perpetual?

We needed help designing and implementing a website for one of our clients.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Perpetual has helped us design and implement a website for one of our clients. We’ve come to them with a well-baked idea and design, so they haven’t been involved in much research; they’ve been more of a development partner.

For the first phase of the project, we’ve worked on the design implementation and coding. We’ve used Figma to collaborate on the design, and Perpetual has figured out how to code and implement it. 

Now, we’re moving on to the second phase, which is the frontend development. Perpetual will use Angular to build the website. Although we’ve already created the wireframes and basic design, we’ve run into a few design issues regarding user interaction. Perpetual has given us a few ideas on how to solve them, so it’s been a collaborative effort.

What is the team composition?

We’ve worked with two teammates from Perpetual, including Amish. They’ve been our main points of contact.

How did you come to work with Perpetual?

We found them in a database for similar services we were looking for. We chose them because they had done work in similar spaces to ours. Moreover, they were based in New York, which was great because the website was specifically designed for the New York health market.

We reviewed their website and previous work, which appeared to align with our needs at the time. Their work looked great, and we initially met with Amish. We felt really good about partnering with them based on some of the things he said.

How much have you invested with them?

Our investment is around $50,000. 

What is the status of this engagement?

The engagement started in March 2025, and it’s ongoing. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Perpetual has delivered great quality work. Our client is very happy with their work. Moreover, I’ve enjoyed working with them. They’ve been great at catching us up on what’s been going on and the new technologies.

How did Perpetual perform from a project management standpoint?

Perpetual has been very communicative and responsive. They’ve been flexible and patient with timelines, working with us and knowing that our client can be difficult at times regarding delays and approvals. They’ve exceeded our expectations. We communicate via email, phone calls, and Figma.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Perpetual has been incredibly helpful.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, there’s nothing they can improve on. We’ve been very happy with them.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the founder of a stealth startup. We’re a software company building AI software to help tackle loneliness in the world.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Perpetual?

We needed help with design explorations and prototypes.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Perpetual helped me set up a Notion workspace where we collaborated with the team. I provided them with the requirements, and they clarified the specifications for the product experience I was seeking and the hypothesis I had. The team did early wireframing and three different kinds of explorations to zoom in on what might resonate with the product I was trying to build.

After that, I took their feedback and explorations. Perpetual helped me find the right users and set up the usability study. I ran the user research study myself. I recruited my target customers and spoke to the users myself, but Perpetual guided me on the user research study itself. Based on the feedback, they gave me designs. I used those designs to do my user research study and take the product forward.

What is the team composition?

We worked with a project manager, a senior designer, and a researcher.

How did you come to work with Perpetual?

I was searching for freelancers online, but many of them turned out to be of low quality and unreliable. I interviewed several design and service providers. A friend who had worked with Perpetual before referred them to me. Perpetual’s team was very responsive in my first introductory call. The way they presented their work at the beginning of the call made me feel like they would understand the kind of product I was looking for. The people there seemed pretty talented.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent $7,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from August–October 2024.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Perpetual helped me save a lot of money and time overall. The designs they provided helped me validate the thesis. We understood how difficult it would be to get the desired option. The designs also helped me get the right conversations going with a few VCs, which was directionally very important for me. Perpetual helped me pivot in the right direction for the product. I haven’t launched yet, but the team worked efficiently and quickly.

How did Perpetual perform from a project management standpoint?

Perpetual delivered on time and within budget. They identified opportunities to reduce the cost. We used Slack, Notion, and Figma for collaboration and communication.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Perpetual was very good at balancing professionalism and collaboration in a friendly atmosphere. They were also responsive, and their communication was crisp and clear. I also appreciated how hands-on their CEO was.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I wish I had more money to access more services at a lower cost. I understand the cost overall, but it was worth it. I also wish they were in my time zone. They discussed assigning me a local teammate, but that was also mitigated.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Be responsive to them. Perpetual is proactive and will engage with you and adapt to your tools. When they had questions or calls for me to engage, I was slow to respond. Engaging with them in a timely manner would make you more successful.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a founding team member of an online marketplace. I focus on the data and engineering aspects of the business.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Perpetual?

We needed help with website design and development. Our goal was to have an online presence and a member-facing portal. We had nothing, and we needed a partner to help us build the V0 of our member-facing marketplace application.

We had worked with a design firm before, and they did some initial things. However, the work wasn’t in the direction we wanted to go, which prompted the need to use a different company.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Perpetual has helped us with ideas and brainstorming. For instance, we’ve spent an entire day with the team discussing our business and conducting user interviews to improve our website design. 

We initially provided Perpetual with background on our company and our thoughts. Once we gave the team some background and initial designs, they built a quick proof of the overall design in Figma and worked with us to provide feedback. Perpetual has also done research around best practices from a design and app perspective. The team has been able to stand-up an MVP of the same app in a low-code tool so that we can get the feel for it.

We’ve built the V0 of the app, and there has been a significant change in how we want our member-facing product to be. We’ve quickly gone from the V0 to re-architecting the V1 with Perpetual. Additionally, the team has helped with user interviews and user testing. Perpetual has found some users online and walked them through the app. We’ve found some confusing parts, and that has made us redesign the V1.

Our current stack is Xano in the backend, and WeWeb is our frontend. We’ve started with Xano, Webflow, and a product called Wiz. After working with those tools and topping out their capabilities, the team helped us determine that we need to change our stack to Xano and WeWeb. 

What is the team composition?

Initially, the team was a bit heavier because we were going from zero to one. We’ve worked with an engineer-design hybrid role, which has been useful. We’ve also worked with two design teammates. The total FTEs have been around two, but we’ve split that time between some designers and the hybrid engineer-designer.

How did you come to work with Perpetual?

We found them through a Google search that led us to Clutch. We interviewed two other companies, and Perpetual felt the most pragmatic and well-thought-out. The team didn’t gloss over details and had a clear plan in mind. They were also the quickest to provide value and were based in New York, where we planned to have our headquarters.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent between $200,000–$500,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in July 2023, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We didn’t have a member-facing portal before. We’ve gone from zero to having many more eligible members working with our website. The quality of their work meets our expectations. 

Perpetual has helped us with the technical aspects of website design and development, and they've been helpful thought partners.

How did Perpetual perform from a project management standpoint?

They deliver the work on time and on budget. We collaborate and manage our work using a combination of Slack, Figma, and Notion. We also use Google Meet a couple of times a week.

The workflow is that we build out a knowledge base and backlog in Notion. Those things get prioritized and built in Figma, where we have back-and-forth on some of the designs. Those things slowly get built out and moved to development and production as we prioritize our major features.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their ability to have many high-functioning people who can do it all has been impressive. As the complexity of our project has grown, Perpetual has had more opportunities to bring on people who can help with that complexity. The team has the right people in the right spots and has shifted around.

If we need more design help, Perpetual can easily bring on a senior designer. If we need more engineering help, they can bring a senior engineer.

Are there any areas they could improve?

As our offering has matured, we’ve gone from having an MVP with some rough edges to iterating. The ability to take us from a V4 to a V5 has stretched their capabilities more. We’ve had to look elsewhere for very senior design help.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Treat them like a partner and be very clear about what you need. Perpetual has the right people in place to help you out; you just need to be clear about what you need and view it as a partnership.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of a quantitative finance company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Perpetual?

We hired Perpetual for branding and website design and development.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Perpetual provided branding, website design, and development services.
We had introductory discussions with the managing partner to understand our vision and what services Perpetual could offer. We then had a kickoff call with a designer and copywriter. We had a couple of additional calls about our brand image and vision for the website. They came back and presented a couple of different directions that we fine-tuned and adapted throughout the process. After a couple of iterations, we got to a design we were excited about. They helped us execute the website and edit our copy to ensure it aligned with our brand and vision. We used Figma during the discovery phase, Adobe for deliverables, Webflow for implementation, and Greenhouse for additional features we wanted to integrate.

What is the team composition?

We mainly worked with four people, including the managing partner, who was the overall architect of the project. We had one main designer, one copywriting advisor, and an implementation specialist.

How did you come to work with Perpetual?

I reached out to the managing partner at Perpetual because we were looking for branding and website services. He walked me through the scope of their services and provided me introductory guidance on how they could implement our vision. I liked their professionalism and creativity. They assessed things like budget and timeline. They gave us a quote and proposal that was comprehensive, on brand, and exceeded our expectations with respect to process. The team structure they proposed seemed efficient and personalized.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent between $14,000–$16,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from August–November 2024. The main project was completed, but we keep them in mind for additional website revamping and other UI/UX design work.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We were most excited about the efficiency gains from the project. We saw an increase of around 40%–50% in applications. Recruiting and checking applicant software used to take weeks. It now only requires a couple of days because of how streamlined it is. We are happy with the professional design Perpetual delivered, which we can use in our everyday business operations.

How did Perpetual perform from a project management standpoint?

Perpetual utilized an agile project management process. We communicated using Slack and email. We had a standing meeting and check-ins whenever needed. They responded whenever we needed them. During the process, a lot of changes and tweaks came up. They were patient with us when we changed our minds on design elements. They were always upfront about how changes would affect the timeline and scope, so we could make decisions on how to proceed.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their creativity. They were great at taking our feedback and changes and running with them. They provided us a path to implement our vision and let us know how certain options would affect project parameters.

Are there any areas they could improve?

We generally had a good process with them. We asked for some custom elements, which took some time and research, but Perpetual helped us get up to speed.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Perpetual is a wonderful company to work with because they’ll be your partner in making your vision come alive. It helps to know your vision and be concrete about what you want and don’t want.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a professor, principal investigator, and project director of various grants at a state university.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Perpetual?

We received a grant to build a mobile app focused on workforce development. 

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Perpetual has built our mobile app, researched the market, and designed the app’s UX. Currently, they provide support for the app, which is available on Google Play and iTunes. The app allows students to search for jobs and internships. They can also access articles, videos, and podcasts focused on workforce development and agriculture. 

What is the team composition?

We’ve met with 10–12 teammates from Perpetual, including the person in charge of getting the account off the ground, product designers, and developers.

How did you come to work with Perpetual?

We found Perpetual through Google, and the team came highly recommended.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with Perpetual in January 2024, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

So far, we have around 200 app users, and Perpetual’s work has exceeded our expectations. 

How did Perpetual perform from a project management standpoint?

Perpetual delivers on time and within budget. We’ve had some communication misunderstandings, but the team has done good work. We share files using Figma and Google Docs. We also have weekly Zoom meetings and communicate via email. Perpetual has helped us with app store problems and fixed bugs immediately.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Perpetual’s biggest strength is making a plan and getting it done.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, there aren’t any. Perpetual’s a great group to work with. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Stay in constant communication with Perpetual. 

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the president of a fashion and lifestyle company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Perpetual?

We needed help to improve the UX design of our website and app.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Perpetual provided UI/UX design services for our company. The discovery phase included interviews with stakeholders and surveys of the general public to gauge interest in this type of app. After Perpetual processed those results, they started to create low-fidelity designs for the app. In the final stage, Perpetual created high-fidelity designs for the various pages that we requested. We already had user personas, but the team helped us refine them.

What is the team composition?

We worked with two main project managers and a UI/UX designer who came on in the later stages of the project.

How did you come to work with Perpetual?

We found them through Clutch. We talked to 5–6 different companies and interviewed them. We felt the most comfortable with Perpetual.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent $70,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from January–April 2025.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We haven’t released the app to the public yet, but the quality of Perpetual’s work met our expectations.

How did Perpetual perform from a project management standpoint?

Perpetual’s project management was great. The team delivered the work on time and within budget. Perpetual was very helpful in explaining their rationale for different design decisions. The team was easy to communicate with through Google Meet, email, and Slack.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We were really happy with the overall experience.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I can’t think of anything they need to improve on.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

If you decide to work with Perpetual, you’ll probably have a similar experience to mine in terms of thinking it’s a good fit. Trust the reviews from past clients that say they’re very professional and deliver quality results.
