69pixels

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm a product manager of FIFA Online 4 website in 101XP company. Our team has localized the game for the CIS region.

For what projects/services did your company hire 69pixels, and what were your goals?

Our goal was to create the best product website among all the regional versions both from a design and UI/UX perspective.

How did you select 69pixels and what were the deciding factors?

We searched online for the best design studio that has a good portfolio and can start working ASAP because we had pretty extreme deadlines.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

We had a kick-off meeting to discuss our goals and objectives. Afterward, our team has created the main concept and we shared it with the studio - they've started working right away, picked out multiple designers for our needs, and delivered results working on multiple pages simultaneously.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

A project manager was our main point of contact throughout the process and we still working together. From the start, we've as well worked with the studio's art director and 3 designers experienced in UI/UX.

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

After launching our site we had a good response both from the community and critics. Users love our design, and they have a good understanding of the game based on the site's alone.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timelines.

We had daily communications with the whole studio's team via Slack and I stayed in contact with the project manager in other messengers. In case of need of the call, we've scheduled them as soon as possible.

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

The team has pretty vast expertise and gives us a lot of choices, regardless of the lack of time. We had a lot of options that we could choose.

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

When we first started there's been a bit of lack of communication, but we worked through it and found the best solution that worked well both for the studio and our team.

We were planning to do the first public launch, and this required a landing page. The previous landing page was temporary and didn't meet our requirements.

What were your goals for this project?

We wanted a fresh design with a clear message about what our product is. It would be the first launch of the product, so we didn't plan any metrics to compare with the previous landing.

How did you select 69pixels?

I searched for design studios, who had completed projects that we like, and who were available at the time. This narrowed down to 3 studios. I selected 69pixels based on that I already knew them and the smoothness of conversation.

Describe the project in detail.

First I send mock-ups and descriptions of a project with examples. Within two weeks we had the first call with a demo of the initial design of the main page. I gave feedback about some changes. This process was repeated a few times with the addition of other pages and animations.

Mainly I spoke with the manager on their side, and with the designer during result discussions.

New landing allowed us to do a public a launch.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

We were connected via telegram with managers and via zoom during calls. Overall communication and responsiveness were great.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Most impressive was the reaction to feedback - after the initial design, I was prepared feedback, and the designer did an excellent job to steer a bit of direction for design development while keeping initial ideas.

Are there any areas for improvement?

It would be better to be a bit more descriptive about the implementation of complicated design features.
