BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the founder and COO of Construction Technology Studio, a company based in San Francisco.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with VALMAX?

We needed help with web design and development.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

VALMAX helps us design and develop our WordPress website. The team has gone through discovery, negotiation, and initial conceptual design phases. We’ve reviewed and approved the initial designs and provided feedback through Figma. They’ve also gone through the final design and development phase, and we’ve since launched the website. 

For features, the website has a landing page with a 3D animation video produced by VALMAX. The video is related to our work and industry and captures the user’s attention, helping with the bounce rate. We want to legitimize ourselves in the eyes of our existing and potential customers. The website also has an About Us page, a Services page, a Contact page, and a page with our work. 

At present, VALMAX is working on a Merchandise page, a Blog page, and a Newsletter page. 

What is the team composition?

We’ve worked with 3–4 individuals from VALMAX, including Vlad. 

How did you come to work with VALMAX?

We found VALMAX on LinkedIn. I was looking for a web designer and reached out to them. Initially, I decided to go with someone else, but Vlad was persistent and followed up with me after a couple of weeks.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve invested around $15,000. 

What is the status of this engagement?

The engagement started in November 2024, and it’s ongoing. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Our primary focus has been to legitimize our company in the mind of our existing customers, and we’ve received great feedback about the website’s design and functionality. We expect the site’s design and development to be an incredible asset for converting leads. Overall, the website is doing exactly what we want; in fact, the bounce rate has dropped by almost 100%. 

How did VALMAX perform from a project management standpoint?

VALMAX has delivered the work on time and within budget. We’ve had some tough spots. Initially, they didn’t take a collaborative or creative approach. As a customer, we’ve had some clear ideas on things we wanted to incorporate, and we’ve had some creative differences. Once we’ve managed to be clear about expectations, VALMAX has opened up to our input into the creative process, and we’ve ended up with a very good result. We communicate via phone calls, emails, Google Documents, and ClickUp.

What did you find most impressive about them?

VALMAX has a very high self-image of their capabilities.

Are there any areas they could improve?

VALMAX could discover whether the client has any creative ideas at the start and be more open to evaluating outside stakeholders' creative input. Their communication has been average and straightforward, but sometimes it’s a little too direct and not expansive enough to understand all the intent.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Come to the table with some concepts, a mood board, and a description of what you want. VALMAX will have something to work with and provide early concepts that can guide the direction and get results faster.

The request was to turn my website idea into a visually appealing design that is easy and intuitive for customers, make it user-friendly, and also design the logo and branding materials such as a business card, certificate, and email signature

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The project was complex, as I had to learn what best suited my needs during the process. However, Vlad and the team were extremely patient and open to changes and new approaches. I truly felt that they cared about my satisfaction, which to me was the true sign of success. The communication was also excellent—the team was very responsive throughout.

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

Even though the project took longer than I expected, it was mostly because I wasn’t in a rush and wanted time to make the right decisions. From their side, there were no delays, and I felt that my project was treated as a priority. I'm very detail-oriented, but I was very happy with how all my comments were taken into consideration and how the team was supportive and open to my concerns.

What was your primary form of communication with VALMAX?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

They focused on customer satisfaction and genuinely wanted the project to succeed. They also help guide you on what needs to be done and how to proceed when you feel lost in the process.

They were extremely attentive to all my needs and feedback, and I always felt that my project was treated as a top priority, with the clear goal of making it successful.

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

The only thing I can think of is having a tracking system for customer feedback—something like a comment with a status (not started, in progress, completed). At the beginning, I had a lot of questions and suggestions, and since communication was mostly via email, it wasn’t easy to understand what had been completed and what was still in progress. The same applies to bug reports.

I’m the CEO of Digital Dunes, a mobile game publisher and developer.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with VALMAX?

We needed help with our branding.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

VALMAX did our branding, logo, colors, presentations, and business cards. They also advised us on what we should and shouldn’t do. After VALMAX completed our branding, we decided to have them build our website.

VALMAX started by understanding our needs. We created a mood board to show them our ideas, the pages we wanted, and how we wanted the website to look. VALMAX then created mock-ups based on our needs and how we wanted the website to look and function. After we agreed on the mock-ups, VALMAX completed the design and developed the entire website in WordPress. VALMAX also provided maintenance and hosting services. For tools, we used Figma for the designs, mock-ups, and mood boards.

What is the team composition?

Vlad was our main contact. Vlad involved more people in our calls depending on our needs.

How did you come to work with VALMAX?

We were working with a different company for our branding, but they couldn’t understand our requirements, and their work wasn’t professional. At the same time, we were talking to VALMAX, which we found through their website. We felt they understood what we wanted from our discussions, and their pricing was reasonable. As a result, we decided to go with VALMAX.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent around €10,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked with VALMAX from September 2024 to January 2025.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

VALMAX did an amazing job with our branding. We’ve received positive feedback about our website, both online and offline. The website stands out, which is important to us. We were satisfied with their work.

How did VALMAX perform from a project management standpoint?

VALMAX stayed within budget. Some companies give you a mock-up and tell you something doesn’t work, or you must change something. VALMAX delivered exactly what was in the mock-up.

There were some delays, but we didn’t have a specific deadline. Sometimes, we wanted something by a certain date because we had a promotion, but we also wanted a good product. Sometimes, this takes more time. VALMAX worked hard to ensure the website was as we required, and we didn’t pay for any extra time.

It was a very collaborative process; we could comment and add more ideas. We also communicated via email and Google Meet.

What did you find most impressive about them?

VALMAX delivered. It’s not easy to satisfy me or my team. We wanted something catchy that resembled the Arabic scene and mood for Digital Dunes. VALMAX captured what was in our heads, which isn’t easy to do.

Are there any areas they could improve?

VALMAX isn’t a corporate company, so they don’t have 100 team members. They’re still growing, so there’s room for improvements and adjustments.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Be clear in your communication. Some of the delays were due to communication issues. Sometimes it was their fault, and sometimes it was ours. This is a general issue between any company and service provider. Always communicate directly to ensure the work isn’t delayed from one side or another.
