Scope of Work
The project with VALMAX focused on creating a completely new digital presence for our company. The scope included the full design and development of a new website, as well as a comprehensive refresh of our visual identity to ensure consistency across all touchpoints.

Key Deliverables

• New Website – end-to-end design and implementation, tailored to our brand identity.
• Custom Visual Design – including graphics and illustrations aligned with the new look and feel.
• Updated Brand Guidelines – providing clear rules for consistent use of visual elements.
• Logo & Wordmark – refreshed versions to support the brand update.
• PowerPoint Templates – designed to match the new branding for consistent corporate presentations.
   

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

• Improved User Experience – simplified navigation and faster load times, reducing bounce rates.
• Consistent Brand Identity – brand elements (logo, wordmark, colors, templates) are now unified across digital and presentation materials.
• Enhanced Professional Appearance – the refreshed branding supports stronger credibility in client meetings and pitches.
   

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

VALMAX demonstrated strong project management throughout the engagement. They responded to our requests and inquiries very quickly and delivered all items on time. Midway through the project, we initiated a significant turnaround in direction. VALMAX adapted to this change with great flexibility and professionalism, ensuring that our revised goals were met without delay. Their industry research provided valuable insights that helped us differentiate ourselves in the market—even though it meant discarding the initial design concepts at our request.

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?

What stood out most was the highly personal relationship we experienced throughout the project. Even though our project was not the largest, we always felt like an important client and as if we were their top priority. Communication and transparency were excellent—we could follow progress at any time, which gave us full confidence in the process.

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

Overall, the collaboration with VALMAX was excellent, but there are a few areas where the experience could be further improved. At times, long email threads made communication a bit challenging; having a dedicated project chat channel (e.g., Slack) would have streamlined discussions and kept everything in one place. Additionally, toward the end of the project we had to purchase a few extra licenses for WordPress plugins ourselves. While this was not a major issue, it would have been ideal if such licenses were provided under an agency license so that everything came from one source.

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

I consulted with two or three web design firms before beginning my project, and immediately decided to go with ValMax after meeting with them. From the very first meeting, I could tell that they were engaged, committed, flexible, and committed to realizing my ideas, and this proved to be the case throughout the duration of the project. After I conveyed my aesthetic vision for the website, they created a few different general website layouts for me to choose among. After I selected the perfect one, they then systematically built out the entire website on the basis of that layout and the general aesthetic vision that it reflected. The layout that Valmax created and the ensuing building out of the website clearly showed that they had listened and genuinely understood the ideas that I had conveyed. For example, they thoughtfully viewed the photos of my office that I provided in order to generate a website color scheme that accorded with the color scheme of my physical office. They also came up with clever ideas to make my website interactive and compelling in a way that would help it stand out from the competition. For example, they rendered digital versions of hand-drawn diagrams that I provided and then arranged these digitized diagrams in an easy-to-use scrolling menu, and similarly arranged the branding photographs that I provided in a compelling way. The building out of the website was generally a straightforward process, and ValMax was always very responsive and communicative whenver any hiccups had to be worked through. I now have a beautiful, crisp, and modern website that I couldn't be happier with to represent my practice!

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The website itself is beautiful, and although it has only been operational a short time, I have gotten several patient enquiries from it. 

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

Yes, they always delivered items on time, and were very responsive to my needs. In general, their project management was excellent and they were highly efficient and organized.

What was your primary form of communication with VALMAX?

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

Friendly people; highly responsive; sophisticated technical abilities; adept at translating an aesthetic vision into a digital product; easy to work with.

No, I cannot think of any areas for improvement.

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

We approached Valmax with the goal of a complete rebranding . We effectively wanted a completely new look to go with our new web application. Step 1 was to find the right logo. Once we settled on a logo when then went for the brand fonts,colors, etc. We were glad that Valmax suggested we be bold because this was part of our core objectives at the start of the project. We trusted and followed through and glad we listened. Step 3 was to build out a wireframe of what all we wanted to be included in the website. Again this was done against a strategy. The temptation was always to add more to the website but this was counter of website strategy. Once the wirframe was completed, it was reviewed, signed off and then work began on the implementation and animations. Finally, we did all the connections of neccesary licenses and agreed the project was completed according to expectations.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We agreed that 10am Tuesday weekly would be virtual meetings where progress was presented and the next steps discussed. The ensured we were always moving forward but not too rapidly that we were not able to deliver the 'homework' given to us. So the weekly meeting gave us sufficient time to get the deliverables on time. We had a strict budget and wanted the best possible outcome. The website hit both sweetspots where we got an excellent website for a fair price. Not easy to find this sort of value spectrum

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

It was managed by one project manager. All meetings were hosted by the project manager and all my change requests or questions were sent to the project manager. This ensured I had a single direct point of contact. My needs were always responded to rapidly and with thorough answers . This allowed me to make informed decisions. When something was easily understood, I was able to ask the questions during the virtual meetings.

What was your primary form of communication with VALMAX?

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

I really enjoyed working with the PM who was also the owner. This gave me the sense that I was working with a PM with vast experience. 

What was also unique was intially we wanted the project done within a short timeframe but what became apparent was in-fact we didnt need to rush as our launch of our website was to be tied to our new app launch . And VALMAX allowed us to move at our own desired pace. This ensured we didnt rush the process and we got the best possible outcome. So the flexibility that they could work slower because it suited our needs was great!

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

None

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm the business development director of GALT Advanced Technology, an IT company that produces AMD Radeon-branded computer and notebook components, DRAM, and SSD. I needed a WordPress-based product catalogue website with legal and contact sections.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with VALMAX?

We needed help designing, developing, and maintaining a new corporate website. My team had to completely restructure our product portfolio, develop numerous new product descriptions, and update all product visuals.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

VALMAX is designing and developing the first version of our website, which includes a product catalog, contact information, and legal information. The product catalog has a product search feature, product view filter, and product featuring. VALMAX is also automating the import from our external products overview database. 

What is the team composition?

A dedicated project manager maintains all communications and resolves any issues we have.

How did you come to work with VALMAX?

We found VALMAX through Clutch. We chose them because their experience, UI and UX of previous projects, price range, business size, and specialization matched our needs. I sent RFPs to 8 companies. One never replied, and another responded with a quote 10× higher than the final price I paid. ValMax stood out — they replied within two hours, were the first to propose a meeting, and conducted a detailed project interview to align with my goals.

After two rounds of clarifications, I narrowed it down to three finalists. VALMAX’s offer was 15% lower than the next best bid and included a faster timeline.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in November 2024, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

VALMAX has developed an effective mechanism to import the product descriptions database. We measure success through mockup perception by a focus group, website performance, and lack of issues and errors. We also measure the website's performance after the launch through look and feel validation on various platforms and search speed. We agreed on a certain timeline and milestones, including project scope, website design, website development, content import, debugging, and public launch.  I chose VALMAX — and never regretted it. Our collaboration has been well-structured, their design mockups matched my expectations, and they built a custom import system that made product updates much easier. The website www.amd-memory.com launched smoothly, and I’ve already received great feedback from partners.

How did VALMAX perform from a project management standpoint?

VALMAX is absolutely on time, proactive, and positive. We communicate through emails, regular status update online meetings, design reviews, and chat. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

We have a positive communication mood. VALMAX understands us and speaks our language.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, there's nothing they can improve.

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.
