BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the Marketing Manager of a Business Intelligence company specializing in data analytics, connected planning, and automation.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Creative Corner?

Our website was outdated and had too much information. There were too many pages, and our visitors would get lost in the content and exit without converting. The design of the website did not represent our identity well, we were aiming for something straight to the point, minimalistic, that would convey our mission.

SOLUTION

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

The team was quick to respond to our initial questions, had a clear work process in place, and was able to accommodate all of our needs (work with our existing developers, deliver the project timely, etc.). They also had a solid portfolio of completed projects and design awards.

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

We had a couple of discovery meetings where we sat together, defined and cleared out the message we wanted to convey, the end goal of the website, our target audience, and tone of voice. After that, we received the initial design idea, and through several feedback sessions, we came to the final version of the design. The team then developed the design for all formats and pages and met with the developers to go through every detail and make sure the design will look its best in the live version.

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

We worked with the founder, web designers, and a project manager.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The new website went live recently, but we already received positive feedback from our current clients saying that the messaging improved drastically and the website looks very professional. In one week that the website is live, the bounce rate decreased by over 6%, which is a truly impressive result.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The workflow was perfect. The team uses Notion for communication, they are also very responsive by email. For the QA part, we used Trello and it helped us a lot to complete the project seamlessly.

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

They were truly great at what they do. We could feel how the team really knows a lot about web design and development. The passion for their work together with putting clients' best interests upfront is what made this project a great success!

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

Maybe have an online folder with all the materials that would be used in the web development (fonts, pics, etc.)

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the co-founder and marketing manager of Blesscent Home. We sell luxury candles, skincare and other homey goods.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

We've hired Creative Corner to develop our website from scratch. Together we came up with the concept, functionalities and marketing strategy required for a successful online marketplace, which our website has proven to be from the moment we've launched it. The team was very helpful, open minded, PATIENT and up to date with the latest trends in the field of web design and programming.

SOLUTION

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

We chose Creative Corner solely based on positive reviews and word-of-mouth. And we made the right decision.

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

From the first meeting we've managed to set our goals. After the second meeting the team has invited us to Figma, where we could see the first mock-up of our site and edit the texts, which was very efficient). After that was done, they've guided and supervised our product content required for the website, such as photos, videos and etc. Finally, when they've put all together, we ended up with one incredible website, with varieties of functionalities based on WordPress and other external integrations. And most importantly, it runs smooth and reliable.

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

We've communicated mostly with the project manager and the copywriter. A back-end developer was also present, when it was necessary. Of course, the CEOs were also supervising the process at every step. What is more, all the employees we came across Creative Corner were very friendly, helpful and advice giving (when asked).

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The feedback we get from our customers is just marvelous. Many say they haven't seen such an outstanding website. The product pages and easy to navigate, the cash-out process is also fast and user-friendly. We've got many payments by card, which is great and we already make deliveries abroad thanks to an integration they've done. In addition, they made the website like a "tree" which can grow over time - adding new product pages, sections, reviews and more.

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

Their way of work is really smooth. Anytime we had questions, ideas or etc. we could contact the project manager through cell phone, email or even viber. We had to launch a product during the Christmas holidays (due to a delay in one of the productions company) and me and my team were really stressed. However, Creative Corner has made everything possible to launch the product in time. And we did! Thanks to them, regardless of the holiday season. Through our communication on the website, we were using Notion to keep track on the tasks, deadlines and basically everything else.

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

The attention they gave us. We've learned so much from them about web development, marketing strategy, consumer behavior, useful integrations and plugins. They were also really patient, because, as you well know, clients don't always know what they really want. In the end, they didn't just give us what we wanted. They gave us much more in terms of expertise, functionality, efficiency, and most importantly profitability.

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

To be really honest, we've had a few communication delays but nothing serious. They seem really busy, which is understandable bearing in mind their capabilities and the variety of clients they are working with. However, they've just recently hired more staff to support the processes. Since then, everything in terms of communication and deadlines is running smooth once again.
