celerart.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am Ruslan, the CEO of Smidige USA, Inc. We provide managed IT services to start-ups in the US and Europe

For what projects/services did your company hire celerart.?

We had initially outsourced the web design & development efforts to individual contractors. While this wasn't an issue at the start, we faced multiple delays and communication challenges. As we required the website to be developed from scratch, Celerart was a perfect choice. By hiring Celertart, we had access to their team of designers and developers.

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

We found Celerart by browsing through our options at https://www.behance.net. We liked Celerart's portfolio which included examples of websites in similar niches. After reaching out to them, we were met with professionalism and their structured approach made us choose them.

Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.

After submitting our initial requirements, we were provided with several options to choose from. It helped shape the direction which we wanted to follow. Once the direction was set, the Celerart team demonstrated an exceptional ability to take it further and innovate with minimal feedback. Their team kept close contact with us making sure we didn't forget anything prior to the website launch.

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

There were at least 2 x front-facing people that we had direct contact with. Behind the scenes, there were multiple designers and developers, all working on our website.

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

While we did not require any documentation, we still received a substantial amount of information that helped our developers get started faster. We're still in the process of acquiring more website traffic but already getting nice feedback from our existing clients.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

I am proud to say that we managed to communicate all our requirements and specifications without resorting to any video meetings. By using Slack and email, we were able to stay focused and always on the topic.

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

I am impressed by the responsiveness and team spirit. It really felt like we were in the same boat during the entire process. I'd like to especially highlight their leadership skills and ability to listen to their customers.

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

We could recommend more thorough quality checks prior to releasing changes to the clients.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I teach people web design and how to use the website builder, Wix.

For what projects/services did your company hire celerart., and what were your goals?

I hired them to create a new logo for the channel, but also received multiple logo variations for other projects in development. Celeart also redesigned the website and created multiple assets for my online tutorials.

How did you select this vendor?

I had been looking for the right company to rebrand Wix Fix. While doing research, I found another project by Celeart where the design was very similar to what I had been looking for.

Describe the scope of their work in detail, including any steps and the final deliverables.

I originally reached out for a logo, but after discussing everything that I was needing, I learned that Celeart was able to complete all of it. In the end, I received multiple logos for various projects in development, full new rebrand, a website redesign to match new branding with better communication, and several video assets with the new branding.

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

I know multiple people worked on this project, but I was only ever in contact with the creative director. I am assuming there were people working on the brand components, website redesign, and video assets.

I am very satisfied with the quality of work and professionalism Celeart has provided. I have not yet implemented the new branded work and website, but I am really excited to do so.

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

Celeart was able to complete the work very quickly. They shared multiple deliverables at once while maintaining consistency across the rebrand.

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

I feel like, for the most part, I only ever requested changes for the website. After the website notes, everything was spot-on to what I was wanting.

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

Honestly, Celeart was super easy to work with and when I have any more design work that needs to be done, I know I will be coming back for more!

Design additional website pages in Figma (or similar) using an existing Figma design

Selected based on online reviews on several websites including Clutch.co

Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.

The project included redesigning existing pages to be in accordance with a new design completed by another design company. The design of the webpages was provided to Celeart

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

One (1) Vadym - Co owner

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

I paid Vadym at Celerart US$500 for the design of some web pages and he had the link live for those completed pages on Figma. We have yet to have our coder use the webpage designs on Figma for our website. Vadym has taken down the Figma web page and Vadym will not make the webpage live on Figma for our coder or send me the Figma files or will not refund the US$500 even though we have a written agreement on Upwork as can be seen in the attached screenshot from Upwork where Vadym promised to send me the files.

He has not! The only way this comment will be removed from Clutch is if Celerart makes the Figma link live or sends me the files, or refunds my US$500. Based on poor business ethics, and not completing the written agreement (as shown by the screenshot), I don't recommend celerart. and Vadym under any circumstances for any design work. DO NOT USE CELERART! THEY ARE THIEVES!!

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The workflow was acceptable although many of the pages needed improvement as per review from our world-renowned SEO company

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

Absolutely nothing based on the fact that they will not provide the final files even though they were paid for them based on a written Upwork agreement.

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

Yes, provide the final files on Figma or via email or refund my money

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

Originally, we hired CelerArt to create our new website in WordPress. We wanted a website that was very ultra-luxury, easy to read, and we wanted it finished ASAP.

How did you select CelerArt and what were the deciding factors?

I chose CelerArt based on their previous work experience, customer service, and price.

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

First, I had to send over what pages I wanted, the content, and some examples for how I wanted it to feel. CelerArt was able to provide multiple sketches in Figma before anything was developed. Once everything was approved, CelerArt got straight to work in getting everything developed in the quickest manner. WordPress was used as our CMS.

One person worked directly with me which was Vadym. He communicated with me and ran the team at CelerArt.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of Setal Television, a social media platform similar to Netflix or YouTube.

What challenge were you trying to address with CelerArt?

We needed someone to help us with design.

What was the scope of their involvement?

We’ve done 25 projects with them. We’ve created a pitch book with them for venture capital funds, as well as created the UX design for several platforms. We’ve also done UX design for the iOS and Android apps. They developed a brand book and several logos as well for our business.

Initially, we wanted to create something special for the venture capital pitches. We wrote all the text, and CelerArt created the design for the pitch book. It’s a pitch deck of nine slides, and they integrated all the design and came up with the pictures and everything to present the information.

We also approached them with other ideas. For example, we wanted to create a landing page and told them what the UX should be like. We gave them all the authority to provide the whole design. After they provided the design, we commented on it, and they made improvements until the product was perfect. Then, we deployed it.

What is the team composition?

We communicate only with the founder of the company. There’s a bigger team behind him.

How did you come to work with CelerArt?

We were working with a design company that we weren’t happy with and decided to look on freelancer.com. We’ve been working with them ever since.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent $30,000–$50,000 so far.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in June 2017, and the work is ongoing.

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

Everything has been very intuitive, which is why we’ve done so many projects with them. They deliver everything we imagine even above our expectations. We will continue working with them.

How did CelerArt perform from a project management standpoint?

The owner acts as our director and gets all the projects from us. We discuss it, and he delegates to his other colleagues. They’re always on point with deadlines. The communication is good as well; they’re always available. We communicate via Skype and Slack.

What did you find most impressive about them?

It’s difficult to find a company like CelerArt because they actually focus on design. Usually, outsourcing companies have designers in-house that go along with their development team package.

Are there any areas they could improve?

We had one incident where a backup of the source file got lost after six months. They were willing to reimburse it or recreate the designs. The only improvement is that they store the source file in a safe place.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

You should set a budget upfront. Usually, designers can work on a per hour basis, or, you can set a fixed budget. I’d encourage every customer to set a fixed budget so they know how much they will be spending.

Please describe your company and your position there.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I am the manager of a business development company focused on the pharmaceutical research field.

What challenge were you trying to address with CelerArt?

Our website had not been updated since the company was launched 13 years ago, so we decided to update the platform along with our dated marketing collateral. To modernize our brand, we needed to find a talented web designer who could deliver modern artwork that fit our industry.

What was the scope of their involvement?

CelerArt’s initial task was to redesign the frontend of our WordPress site. They had access to our previous web design to use as a reference, but they ultimately produced an original design concept. After integrating their designs on the website, they started making fliers, business cards, envelopes, and other collateral. All of their work was created using Adobe Creative Cloud apps, including Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.

What is the team composition?

They have about 10 people working at their agency, but we interacted with a dedicated project manager.

How did you come to work with CelerArt?

The first few web designers that we reached out to responded to us with mediocre work, so we searched for more companies on Upwork; we eventually found CelerArt. Although they weren’t the most affordable option, their design concepts were phenomenal, and they had excellent reviews.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent less than $10,000 for their services.

What is the status of this engagement?

CelerArt started working on the web design in December 2017 and completed the project within the same month. They continue to make small changes and additions to our marketing materials as needed.

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

Their great designs have made a significant and lasting impact on our business. The refreshed website has been well-received by existing customers, while the stylish new business cards are often commented on by new customers.

How did CelerArt perform from a project management standpoint?

They were incredibly easy to work with despite our long-distance partnership. Deadlines were never an issue. Upwork’s messenger system was our main channel for communication, but we occasionally used Skype for video conferences.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their sense of design is unrivaled, and their project management capability is excellent. We tend to be very demanding with our requirements and observant of small details, but they worked diligently without complaints until the quality of their work matched our high expectations.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They only accept payments through Upwork, which can be difficult for us to navigate. In the future, they should consider adopting a wider variety of payment options.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Discussing the requirements in full detail at the beginning of the project is the best way to ensure accuracy. If possible, provide reference material that their team can use as a guide.
