What impressed us most was the company’s ability to combine technical expertise with a genuine understanding of the Municipality’s specific needs and the expectations of local residents and visitors.

Their responsiveness, flexibility, and proactive approach throughout the process made the collaboration particularly effective and distinguished them as a reliable and committed partner.

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

Overall, we were very satisfied with the collaboration and did not encounter any significant issues. As with any digital project, there is always room to further strengthen the initial planning and testing phases, particularly by involving a broader group of end users at an earlier stage. This could help identify additional usability preferences and reduce the need for minor adjustments later in the process. Nevertheless, Studio Kipo responded promptly and professionally whenever refinements were required.
