I’m the CTO and a co-founder of a development agency. We specialize in different kinds of software, mostly web-based projects, and mobile apps.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with ZAYCEV.studio?

We had an internal designer previously, but we found that there was no sense in maintaining a full-time employee. Web design work is volatile, sometimes requiring the implementation of a lot of wireframes in a short period of time, and there’s no work at all at other times. Keeping a full-time designer wasn’t working for us, so we started collaborating with ZAYCEV.studio.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

When we start a new web or mobile project, we will propose mockups and designs to our clients before development, in order to discuss them and save time. We usually involve ZAYCEV.studio for this kind of work.

We’ve worked together on many projects. Usually, we will ask them for estimates for the mockups, depending on our own client’s requirements. They’ll often participate in clarifying requirements with our client. If the estimates are acceptable for our client, they’ll work on the actual design. They provide all design materials, including mockups, UI kits, and actual design files like images and icons.

What is the team composition?

Our developers worked with several members of a web design team.

How did you come to work with ZAYCEV.studio?

We’re located in the same city, and they were recommended to us by a friend. I met the company’s co-founder, we started with one project, and we’ve continued working together for more than a year.

How much have you invested with them?

We've spent around $50,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them in October 2017 and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Using their mockups, we can clarify all requirements with our customers before development. This has saved us time and effort, and it’s made projects more profitable, as the effectiveness of our resources grew.

How did ZAYCEV.studio perform from a project management standpoint?

They work quite fast and they follow the deadlines they provide us.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They don’t skip small details and they’re always trying to understand our needs. Also, they analyze competitors in order to determine which best practices should be used for the design.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No.
