Qream

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the COO of a cyber intelligence company named MyNetWatchman.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Qream?

We were transitioning from very few customers to a broad base of customers, so we wanted to redesign our website to start reaching out to the mass of company prospects we had.

Regarding requests, we asked to articulate the basics of our products, and they could go above and beyond that because they served almost as a marketing brand strategy company by giving us clean and efficient ideas.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Qream took our existing site and revamped it completely from design to development. It’s a basic format site, which they created starting from our vision. We worked towards milestones we set and a PowerPoint presentation where we put all the page flow we were doing. Regarding technologies they

What is the team composition?

We worked with around four members of their team, including Karina (Marketing Manager) and other people in charge of brand design, motion design, and creative strategy.

How did you come to work with Qream?

We worked with them on a previous project, so we also chose them for this task.

How much have you invested in them?

We invested around $10,000 with them.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from March–May 2022.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We’ve seen a more than 30% increase in traffic to our website.

How did Qream perform from a project management standpoint?

In terms of tools, we used the whole Google suite and WhatsApp for back-and-forth communication.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their passion and drive for excellence are unparalleled in the market.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I don’t think there’s anything they can improve on —  they have a strong team with great skills and passion that is very value-minded.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Listen carefully and understand their capabilities to see how they compare to your needs.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the Community Lead of EARN Network, a community-run Web 3 Project that offers effortless decentralized passive income to holders of the token.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Qream?

We hired Qream to help us brand (logo + color scheme) and to create a jaw-dropping website.

SOLUTION

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

We found Qream on UpWork, a popular freelance website and went with them due to their portfolio full of stunning websites + it fit our budget.

Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.

We had a few calls at first before the project started to clarify the scope + our needs and goals. We then communicated primarily through Telegram (our preference at EARN) and were presented progress updates in the form of video, messages, and calls. At first, we weren't planning on having Qream help us with our branding but ultimately added it onto our scope and it was a seamless process to do so. After our website was delivered, we had a call to celebrate, provide feedback, and to wrap things up.

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

In total, we worked closely with 3 team members but had a number of other team members who helped with the backend of our website.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

We've had a lot of compliments on our website after Qream designed it. It has helped our core community keep faith in the project regardless of the crazy volatility we experience in the crypto market.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Our workflow together was pretty good. Delays typically stemmed from tasks we at EARN needed to complete and had fallen behind on.

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

We were impressed with Qream's excellent communication - keeping us into the loop without the need to constantly check in on them. We were also very happy with their skill in design and unique ideas they brought to the table.

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

Things could have been done faster, but that could have meant sacrificing a lot of the quality design work we received.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of an edtech startup for realtors and landlords. We’re launching our product because, during the lockdown, we found that a lot of PMs (Property Managers) don’t like working directly with landlords and realtors — due to their poor characteristics. We decided this can be the niche we can get into.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Qream?

We had an idea for an education platform, and we needed someone to build the application that will be fully aligned with future users and our marketing strategy.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We started the project by having several design sessions where we described our target personas. We then discussed how users can use the platform and the value they will gain from it. Moreover, we discussed some architecture for future users and how they will work with the several iterations of the platform.

We wanted to create a good design for our idea, so our team did the wireframe for several screens for the app — they then transferred the mockups to the Qream team. After that, they started the work for the UX/UI design and the business strategy.

Additionally, we provided them 10-pages worth of documentation providing them information on the wireframes and the design we wanted.

What is the team composition?

Our main point of contact was Victoriia (Junior Product Manager), and we also worked with a UX/UI designer.

How did you come to work with Qream?

We found Qream on Dribble. We had about 8–10 proposals from several other teams, but when we started speaking with them and asking them about their suggestions for the project, they only gave us an estimation of what the resource will cost us. The Qream team, however, were very proactive, had their own vision, and I had a feeling of what they were going to make. They suggested a lot of ideas on how we can launch, as well as the need to build clickable prototypes. 

That’s when we decided to work with them.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent $40,000 on this project.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from December 2020–March 2021.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We did some tests with applicable prototypes and had 20–25% successful registrations from our control group. After that, we checked several options on how to organize the demonstration, and they raised the conversion rate from 16–32%.

How did Qream perform from a project management standpoint?

We worked through Slack and Telegram for communications. We also used email to send official information and used Jira to manage the project.

Victoria did an amazing job. She was really easy to communicate with, and I had no doubts about her profession. They always kept me updated and were always in touch — I didn’t experience any lack of communication.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We were impressed with their proactiveness. They really wanted to help, and knew exactly what they were doing. They didn’t just work through our requirements, but they also suggested alternatives that really worked. In addition to that, they were also very innovative — we talked several times and they sent me a lot of information about new approaches in design.

They were really good in customer development, prototyping, and designing the visual aspect of the platform — I was really satisfied with their vision. Another thing I liked about them is they had separate specialists for UX and UI design. Choosing Qream was a very good decision because we had a full team of professionals who know their work.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Even if I was a picky customer, I don’t think I’ll find anything they can improve on.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

It would be better for the engagement if you describe your vision based on what you want to achieve. They will then suggest several options on how you can succeed.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm a marketing manager leading the events and community initiatives for a global tech company in the cloud space. The company has a SaaS solution for enterprises, reducing their cloud cost.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Qream?

We've created a sub-brand to host Developers community summits around the globe. due to COVID-19 the project became virtual. The existing web page and brand we had didn't look good, and didn't fit the target audience we're aiming for. I was looking to change the brand completely.

What were your goals for this project?

Create a web page that will look awesome, innovative, and eye-catching. Create a social media appearance, a complete brand that will start out.

SOLUTION

How did you select Qream?

I was on calls with several companies/designers, and none were as professional as Qream, I saw different projects they did, they asked all the right questions about my project.

I actually started working with Qream and 1 more company at the same time, paying them only for the first part of 2 draft with a concept to the website. Qream won by far, I really liked where they took the concept, they really listens to instructions.

Describe the project in detail.

Make-over for: brand logo brand website brand concept After UI UX and the entire branding was approved, they also developed the website from scratch, creating a back-end for me to access any filed/section of the website and update it my self.

Creating of brand mascot - from scratching to 3D Image! Brand book Social media banners social media profile pic + cover images Email banner

What was the team composition?

I was working only with Yaroslove - who's managing the project. It's very convenient, connecting with 1 person who's in charge of the hand-on team members. There were UI/UX designers, illustrator, and at a later stage a web developer, who I was in touch directly.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The brand is not selling a real product, not we have funds to promote it digitally. so at the moment I can't see the success. Only from great feedbacks across my industry (cloud)

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The project manager - Yaroslove is very communicative, we were taking via slack, emails, and hopping on calls on a daily/weekly basis. Everything was done very fast, in a timeline that doesn't go over 4-5 days from the day I requested a specific task.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Listening to directions! From step 1, they listened carefully, took notes, asking the right questions, and implementing everything in their work! It's very rare to find designers that will supply exactly what you've been asking for.

Also, they are very innovative, thinking one step ahead, adding features to the website I didn't even think of!

Are there any areas for improvement?

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

Creative Dock is a startup builder. We build digital services and mobile apps for European markets. I hired Qream while being in the role of project manager, and now I continue working closely with them after my transition to the role of customer experience lead.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Qream?

Our company is based in Austria and Czech Republic, building a mobile app for Ukrainian market. We were looking for UX/UI designer with knowledge of local market specifics and user needs.

What were your goals for this project?

The aim was to launch digital service on (for us) foreign market in a short time, and continue adding new features at fast pace. Our app is quite complex with integrations to several third party service providers. Our main challenge was to deliver excellent quality for customers on tight deadline while keeping multiple stakeholders satisfied.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

I have found Qream on Upwork. After considering 6 different designers, the final decision was to hire this agency. The decision was clear because they were the only ones who did not start the conversation with organizational requests but by asking how they can help us deliver the best value for end users.

They sent us a few links on their previous works, and also immediately proposed valuable design solutions for our app. The decision to hire Qream was made by me and CEO of the project.

Describe the project in detail.

Very complex mobile app offering administrative and financial tools such as invoices, bookkeeping, tax reporting, payments or currency exchange. Two designers were dedicated to product/UX design - defining user flows, creating wireframes and clickable prototypes, conducting user testing and prototype iterations.

One designer worked specifically on UI design - designing UI components, defining the component library and applying final UI on app screens while working closely with front-end developers on implementation.

What was the team composition?

Initially, we started with one designer. Later on we hired two more in the team because their expertise goes far beyond UX/UI design. Three designers were working closely with our product, IT dev and marketing team. Qream designers basically became a crucial part of our team.

Giving us valuable insights for marketing strategy and took leadership in product design. In the end, they covered tasks from scope definition, UX/UI design and user testing, to helping IT developers make decisions.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The project is still ongoing. Nevertheless, we've launched the first feature about a month ago and we keep getting extremely positive feedback from our first users. First (indicative) NPS has reached almost 60 points which we didn't expect at all.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

We were working with the CEO and two designers from their team. The communication was smooth, all of them are well organized and open to feedback. All three were in daily touch with our project team. Often times taking part in decision making meetings.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

I was blown away by the way they were able to handle sometimes unclear briefs from our side as well as floating deadlines. All designers were constantly available and also open to any feedback. We especially appreciate their professionalism and expertise in fintech which exceeded our original expectations. Their comprehensive knowledge of local market is also impressive.

Are there any areas for improvement?

Everything can be done faster or better of course. Nevertheless they delivered just the right balance between time and quality in order to meet deadlines while creating value for users.

Qream created a range of collateral for us. They came up with the design for our business cards, our website, and our brand identity, including all the colors and logos.

What is the team composition?

We worked with a project manager and a designer, though we switched designers at one point during the project.

I’m happy with the results, and that they weren’t hesitant to make suggestions they felt would serve my brand better. They’re professional designers that I knew I could trust.

Qream also provided excellent customer service. Given that and the quality of their work, I’ll definitely be contacting them if we need additional help, changes, or design work in the future.

How did Qream perform from a project management standpoint?

The team was very responsive. If we ever had a question or needed something corrected, they were immediately available. Everything about the process was clear, easy, and fast. To stay in touch, we used Messenger and phone calls.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their responsiveness and general project management style were impressive. I also appreciated their design ideas—the second designer on the project brought very fresh, interesting ideas.

No, there weren’t any problems.

User-centered approach. For Qream user challenges and design accessibility are the main product design-drivers. They justify each usability step through smooth and efficient user flow. They test every idea from the users’ perspective and have strong attention to detail. Qream are strong communicators. Working remotely (in very difficult circumstances during February - April 2020), we always had a feeling the project is being driven with a speed of light as they kept us in the loop during each stage. In fact, even when we were holding things up our end with decisions and content, Qream design's approach was flawless.

Are there any areas for improvement?

We’re truly satisfied with the product design service received. Still, I wish the Qream team to improve the number of clients, so they can make more people happy!
