BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of a business consulting company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with VALMAX?

We needed someone to develop a unique website for us.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

VALMAX has designed and developed a website for us. We started this project by addressing the requirements for the website, including its features, functions, and design. The UI/UX design and the technologies and features that would be embedded into the website were some of the main aspects of the project. Although we had an existing website, the new website was built from scratch. As for the technology stack, the team has used WordPress for the development and Figma for the design.

We started working with VALMAX on this website. However, since completing the website, we've assigned them other projects. We leverage their design services, and we also partner with them to provide website development, branding, and company profile setup for our end customers.

What is the team composition?

I deal directly with Vlad (CEO), who is my main point of contact and handles my account. I know that he has a few other employees, but I haven't worked with them.

How did you come to work with VALMAX?

We had worked with a couple of other website development companies, but they all failed to deliver a unique and creative website. Eventually, I reached out to VALMAX through Clutch. I saw some good reviews about them, so I decided to hire them.

How much have you invested with them?

We've spent around $6,000 on multiple internal projects. Considering the work done for our end customers, we've spent around $11,000 in total.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together around February 2024, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

VALMAX understands what we want and still contributes their own thoughts and ideas to prevent us from doing something less efficient or less creative. They've come up with more creative ideas and solutions. Overall, they've done a great job.

How did VALMAX perform from a project management standpoint?

For every project, we've kept requesting additional things and changes, but every time VALMAX promises a deadline, they deliver before it. As for communication, we only use emails and online meetings. Overall, the team has been very professional and responsive.

Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?

I would like to give a shout-out to Vlad.

What did you find most impressive about them?

VALMAX cares about our projects as if they were their own. They negotiate with us on how to do things better, and they always try to understand why and how we want things to be done to deliver accordingly. Most of the time, they deliver even something better than what we envisioned.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Everybody has something to improve, but I've been very comfortable with the way VALMAX has been doing things. I don't think there's anything specific that would make any client unhappy. Their work is worth every penny. From a business expansion perspective, getting to know more about the Arabic characters and tools is an opportunity for them to grow. Still, it doesn't represent a blocker or challenge.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Deal with them with no hesitation.

How many teammates from VALMAX DIGITAL were assigned to this project?

2-5 Employees

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

I needed to upgrade my financial planning website to a more professional and modern platform. My goal was to create a site with a "wow" factor that stood out from generic, templated websites. I aimed for a design that would enhance conversions by showcasing the professionalism of my firm and the benefits clients would enjoy by working with us. Additionally, I required a site optimised for SEO to improve visibility and traffic. I also tasked Valmax with developing a financial health check tool to serve as an effective lead generator for my site.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

A website that I was happy with and had that wow factor which I wanted. 

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

The project timeline extended slightly beyond the initial estimates due to my attention to detail and the time it took to finalise a design theme that truly met my expectations. Valmax was very receptive to my feedback and worked tirelessly to refine the design until I was thoroughly satisfied.

What was your primary form of communication with VALMAX DIGITAL?

Email or Messaging App

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

VALMAX DIGITAL expertly transformed the vision I had in my mind into the exact website I had envisioned. The final design, layout, and animations have surpassed my expectations. Saying I am thrilled with the result is an understatement. As a small business, investing in a website upgrade was a significant decision. I wanted to ensure that my investment would reflect the essence of my business and deliver a product I could be proud of—one with a true "wow" factor. I'm delighted to report that Valmax has achieved this for me.

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

Perhaps a more refined process or tool could have been employed during the research phase to more effectively capture the desired vision, design preferences, look, feel, mood, and style. While they ultimately nailed it, a different approach might have expedited and streamlined the process.

BACKGROUND

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with VALMAX DIGITAL?

We wanted VALMAX DIGITAL to build a modern and fast-working website for us that could be used globally.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

VALMAX DIGITAL designed and developed an e-commerce website for us from scratch. The team used Figma for the design and Shopify for the e-commerce engine.

What is the team composition?

I worked very closely with Vlad (CEO). There were others involved, but I don't remember their positions.

How did you come to work with VALMAX DIGITAL?

I found them on Clutch.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent over $3,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them around February 2024, and the project was completed in June 2024. Although the development work has ended, we'll continue our relationship with VALMAX DIGITAL for ongoing maintenance.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Overall, working with VALMAX DIGITAL was a great experience. They had the right expertise to do the website, so it was very easy to work with them.

How did VALMAX DIGITAL perform from a project management standpoint?

VALMAX DIGITAL was very responsive. We mostly communicated via Google Meet.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The thing I liked the most about VALMAX DIGITAL was their web development knowledge. Additionally, they adapted the website design very quickly to our type of business, demonstrating that they are adaptive regarding their design process.

On top of that, VALMAX DIGITAL's research was top-notch. They did a lot of research about our business so that they could advise properly in different ways. We're a new luxury retail company, so we haven't run this type of business before. Still, their team was able to provide great advice. Moreover, they did a lot of revisions without complaints — we had as many revisions as we wanted.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I can't think of anything VALMAX DIGITAL could improve on.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

I don't have any particular advice.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm the managing director and founder of Wingmen Group, a consulting company for the food processing and flour milling industry.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with VALMAX DIGITAL?

Our homepage had been created internally when we founded the company, so we were looking to revamp it to have a more professional representation online.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We've worked with VALMAX DIGITAL to revamp our homepage. Their team has basically redesigned our entire homepage with a more corporate design. Still, they've not only redesigned our website. Their team has also helped us design LinkedIn posts, email signatures, and PowerPoint templates.

What is the team composition?

We've mainly worked with Vlad (CEO), who has worked as the project manager. There are other teammates in the background working on the project, but we don't deal with them.

How did you come to work with VALMAX DIGITAL?

Another company recommended them. This company had worked with VALMAX DIGITAL themselves, so they introduced them to us — that's how we started working together.

How much have you invested with them?

We've spent around $9,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We began working with them in October 2023, and our engagement is ongoing. Our homepage redesign was completed six weeks ago, in May 2024.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Our main success metric is the new design of our homepage. The new homepage looks very professional and meets our requirements. Now, when a visitor comes to our homepage, we look like a very professional company.

How did VALMAX DIGITAL perform from a project management standpoint?

VALMAX DIGITAL has delivered everything on time and as requested. All delays have been on our side, as we've struggled to deliver all the information and content for our site. Moreover, they're responsive to questions. We mainly communicate via email and video calls.

Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?

I would like to give a shout-out to Vlad.

What did you find most impressive about them?

What I like most about VALMAX DIGITAL is that they've really pushed us to move forward. They're very proactive in helping move the project along.

Are there any areas they could improve?

It would be useful if VALMAX DIGITAL offered content creation in the future. We've delivered all the copy and content for our homepage, which was initially agreed upon, but a content creation service would be helpful.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

Go with them. Their value for the money is very good.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm the director of marketing for Vamstar, an AI company offering a range of different services to the medtech, life sciences, and pharmaceutical sectors. Our services include marketing intelligence, data analysis, and tender aquisition.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with VALMAX DIGITAL?

We needed a whole redesign of our web assets. Our existing website was old and lucky because it had been created several years ago, so it wasn't presenting us in the best light. We had a lot of demands and needs for this project, and VALMAX DIGITAL was the only company able to say yes to all our requests.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

VALMAX DIGITAL has helped revamp our web presence. One week after we started our conversation, we provided them with a brief. We had initially mapped our website; this was a diagram I put together outlining the interconnections between the different pages, the value of those different pages, the user flow through them, and the needs of each page.

For the first phase of the project, VALMAX DIGITAL had to design something that was more representative of our brand, so there was a lot of design work involved. It took a lot of back and forth until we could actually get to the right type of design and layout we were looking for on our website.

We were also looking for a website with a range of functionalities and abilities to place content and gate it depending on the users we were targeting and the people visiting our site. VALMAX DIGITAL has created a backend for our site that allows us to give users access to more in-depth content pertaining to the industry vertical they belong to.

Currently, we're about to finalize the website. We're just adding final touches needed, but the project itself is done.

What is the team composition?

I initially spoke to Vlad (CEO) and Maksym (Business Development Manager). Maksym has led a lot of the project management efforts and has been keenly involved in the design process because the project has been quite demanding from a design perspective. As the project advanced, I started working directly with Maksym.

How did you come to work with VALMAX DIGITAL?

I found them online. During my research, I looked at a lot of potential partners, some of whom were based in London and some others in Sweden. Basically, I was scouting the globe to find the right agency to work with. I ultimately chose VALMAX DIGITAL because none of those other companies could really promise to deliver the project as we wanted, and some of them offered very elevated costs.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in January 2024, and the partnership is ongoing. Although we're close to ending the project, we hopefully will return to VALMAX DIGITAL whenever we need new pages or new web assets.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The feedback from customers has been generally very positive. They've told us that our new website is more in tune with our brand and what we offer. As for the internal feedback, everyone seems to love our new website.

As for quantitative feedback, it is hard to provide actual numbers because we have multiple projects going on, so tracking of metrics depends on other things. For example, there was a time when we actually lost user accounts, so it's hard to tell for sure the impact of the new website.

However, comparing the last two weeks of data to last year's same period, our metrics are actually stronger. Our business is very cyclical, so this result is actually impressive. Still, I can't provide more accurate data because the new website launch is quite fresh.

How did VALMAX DIGITAL perform from a project management standpoint?

Everything has been delivered on time. Although there have been small delays, those were caused by us wanting to go back to the drawing board. When we moved ahead with the project, we realized that we wanted a little bit more than what we had commissioned.

Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?

Maksym has been brilliant. We've been incredibly demanding and a bit difficult because our business vertical requires a lot of different considerations. There's also been a lot of technical requirements outlined in our brief, although we could have been a lot better in that regard. Still, Maksym has always been very good at picking up on those missing details.

In addition to that, the design phase took longer than anticipated, although it was mainly due to us, not VALMAX DIGITAL. Still, Maksym was able to take the time to meet with us, receive record calls, and understand what designs we liked. We went into this project without a clear layout for the design, but he was able to think it out from thin air, which was incredible by itself.

What did you find most impressive about them?

VALMAX DIGITAL has thought about everything I've wanted from a marketing perspective without me having to ask for it. Initially, we wanted a website using a preexisting theme, but we weren't sure about it. Maksym talked with me and told me that they could use the theme we wanted but warned me that it would make the website heavier and clunkier. He also offered to build the website entirely from scratch for us.

Initially, I was a little bit nervous about building the site from scratch. However, I ultimately found the backend they built to be very simple and easy to use. For example, they recently set up a case study feature, which creates a case study page for each case study.

Thanks to this feature, I can simply go to the backend, create a new case study, paste the text, and change the images and colors myself without affecting the site. I break things very easily, but thus far, I haven't broken the site.

Are there any areas they could improve?

There's nothing VALMAX DIGITAL could improve on. They've been incredible, and the project would have been a lot harder with another agency.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

Create a map for the site you want in order to convey what you want to achieve easily. Moreover, spend time outlining the brief. We could have saved ourselves a lot of time if we had a clear brief from the start. Still, some of the best features and setups of our website came from VALMAX DIGITAL's side, as they suggested them based on what we wanted to achieve.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the founder and CEO of Marine Digital. We develop industrial AI solutions to help maritime vessels reduce fuel consumption. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with VALMAX DIGITAL?

We were planning to launch a product website to address the issues of design, client communications, and investor communications. We hired VALMAX DIGITAL to help us design and develop the site and guide us through the process. 

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

VALMAX DIGITAL has designed our product website and implemented the design using WordPress. Initially, they gave us a questionnaire, and I provided references for the kind of websites I liked and why and explained what we wanted to achieve. When visiting our website, we wanted users to learn about the product and our core values, including our innovative approach. 

The VALMAX DIGITAL team has guided us through the design process via discussions with our internal team and myself to explore the ideas behind the project and then communicate those ideas through the site’s design. The team has provided several drafts of the site’s design at every stage. Currently, the website is launched, and we’ll continue working with VALMAX DIGITAL on our software product's design and frontend development. 

What is the team composition?

We’ve worked with the co-founder, who is our contact point. However, multiple other teammates from VALMAX DIGITAL have also worked on the project. 

How did you come to work with VALMAX DIGITAL?

I found them through a recommendation, either by an IT company we work with or business friends, who advised us to try VALMAX DIGITAL. 

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent less than €5,000 (approximately $5,300 USD). 

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them in September 2023, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

My end clients have been happier since we started working with VALMAX DIGITAL. Before this project, our site was more of a blog, and now we have a product website. Moreover, the values behind our products and the product itself are much more understandable on the website. I plan to use the site for investor presentations in the upcoming weeks. 

As for continuous collaboration, we want to continue working with VALMAX DIGITAL. Their team has expertise, and we like how they communicate via product design. 

How did VALMAX DIGITAL perform from a project management standpoint?

Meeting deadlines in design projects is sometimes challenging since it’s part of the creative domain. However, VALMAX DIGITAL has succeeded in delivering on time; they agreed to launch the website within four weeks, and they met that deadline. The team has also respected the budget. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

I’m happy about working with VALMAX DIGITAL; they’ve been pretty efficient. They’ve taken a professional approach of offering different design options and drafts at every stage of the project, which has helped us a lot in the website development process. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

There’s nothing they need to improve from my perspective; I’ve been happy with my experience with them. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

When working with any design agency, you should have a clear vision of the results you want to achieve through the website. For example, communicating products clearly or other strong parameters. This way, you can support your design partner instead of using more subjective metrics like wanting something to be innovative but not knowing how.
