BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the director of digital marketing for a pet care company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Dreamten?

We needed help migrating our website to another CMS solution.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Dreamten migrated our website from WordPress to Webflow, an entirely new CMS. We needed to migrate to move faster and do things better at scale. The team moved us entirely from the old platform to the new one in record time, giving our brand a new refresh.

Dreamten upgraded all of the design and architecture in collaboration with us, including where we wanted the URLs routed and what we wanted the site navigation to look like, and updated a lot of the functionality. They also did a bunch of design improvements.

Dreamten designed many mock-ups in Figma, which was helpful because it was a universal platform for us to leave comments. The team also shared QA links and a staging environment via Webflow so we could interact with the site before deploying it to the public.

What is the team composition?

Dreamten provided a team of around 4–5 people. We had a primary point of contact, Jason, the lead designer. We also worked with a junior designer, a lead developer, and an executive owner who oversaw everything.

How did you come to work with Dreamten?

We already had a relationship with Dreamten. The team had helped us on several of our other sites. Because of the great work they had already done, Dreamten was a natural first option when we wanted to pursue this re-platforming project.

We still wanted to be sure they could achieve what we were hoping to achieve, so we hopped on a call with them and walked through all the details we were expecting. The team helped us know exactly what they could do for us. We talked to a few other companies, but Dreamten was the best option out there by far.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent $58,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from November 2024–March 2025.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Our main goal was to increase engagement with our site navigation and filterability. That was a big bet for us, and it's up 100%. Previously, visitors didn't even look at it, but based on precise readings and feedback, people's interaction with the site is much better. We have people navigating from piece to piece and setting unique filters that show them the exact content they need as pet owners.

We've also started getting more sign-ups for our newsletter on the site when that wasn't an option. Many of the results we get aren't as much about the posts as they are about the things that didn't exist before Dreamten made it happen. We're thrilled with the results so far.

How did Dreamten perform from a project management standpoint?

Dreamten was great. The team was super proactive and on time. Whenever we had a chance, they were already there and finishing things before we could even get the words out of our mouths. We never found ourselves waiting for them to deliver something. If anything, the bottleneck fell on us.

From a project management point of view, they outlined a Gantt chart so we could tune in and be sure we felt good about where we were progressing. Dreamten stuck to the original timeline we had planned, so they killed it.

We communicated via Slack and had a channel dedicated to this project with all the stakeholders. We also had a weekly recurring meeting with them on Zoom.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Dreamten's team are great people you like to spend time with and work with, which can be rare. We have them coming in next week to celebrate the re-platforming and discuss the next chapter together, and we're excited to have them in town.

I did a re-platform a few years ago for another website at another company, and I dreaded doing this, but Dreamten made it as smooth as possible, and we're just super excited about where we ended up and where we get to go next.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I don't have anything for this project. I'm just delighted with where we ended up.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Lean into Dreamten's transparency and level setting at the onset of a project. If you want to know if the team can do something and how they would do it, they're willing to take the time to walk through everything with you so that you have confidence in their work.

This was a big and daunting project ahead of us, and we wanted to be sure we had the right partners. Dreamten didn't give us a sales pitch; they explained exactly how they would do it. They told us their limitations and where they would do well, which gave us the confidence to move forward with them. When talking to Dreamten, know what you're getting is genuine.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm the CPO of Rabbu, a lead generation service for real estate investors looking for short-term rentals.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Dreamten?

We needed help with our landing page design.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Dreamten provides landing page design services for our company. We usually send over a request or scope of work, Dreamten responds with questions, and we have a discovery call. They send us a link to a Figma design where we provide feedback, and they make any changes. They also do a little bit of copywriting as part of the design. Sometimes, they use Loom to send over videos of what they've designed.

What is the team composition?

We work with two people from their team.

How did you come to work with Dreamten?

They were a referral from a friend.

How much have you invested with them?

We've spent between $10,000–$50,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in October 2024, and we've given them more work since, so the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

For one of the recent landing pages they've designed for us, we've doubled our conversion rate from Google Ads, which is a great result. Overall, the designs have been well-received, and I've really enjoyed them.

How did Dreamten perform from a project management standpoint?

They've met deadlines and stayed on budget. We mainly communicate via email and Zoom.

Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?

Philip is a great designer and one of the founders of Dreamten. It's been great to work with him.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Dreamten's fast turnaround time and quick understanding of our business are impressive.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, there aren't any at the moment.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Prepare documentation of precisely what you expect to accomplish before you engage them. It's best to write down your goals to set them up for success because Dreamten will do their best to ensure the scope aligns with what you want to do.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm the founder and CEO of Blockframe, an NFT marketplace backed by Matter Labs, which is supported by a16z. We feature a creator studio that can generate millions of NFTs at scale, whether they're images, videos, or audio. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Dreamten?

We hired them to redesign our NFT marketplace and extend some of our platform's capabilities. 

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Dreamten redesigned our marketplace's UI/UX using Figma. They also helped us develop a new product that came about during the design process, extending our platform's capabilities. The team handled the design, and our team handled the technical side. However, Dreamten also learned React and Web3 coding principles. Regarding Web3, the learning process included how to interact with the blockchain and how to design navigable Web3 content. We released the team's work on the NFT marketplace. 

What is the team composition?

We had four core team members from Dreamten, including Philip (Founder), Jason (Partner), Grace, and Lahesh (Senior Product Designer). Throughout the process, they also gathered feedback from Dreamten's wider team. 

How much have you invested with them?

We spent around $129,000. 

How did you come to work with Dreamten?

We found them on Clutch. We selected them because design was their bread and butter, allowing us to focus on what we're good at.

What is the status of this engagement?

The project lasted from February–August 2024. We hope to continue working with Dreamten as we get work added to our plate. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Our website analytics steadily increased after working with Dreamten; we're currently at 62,000 users. Currently, we're building the new product that came out of the design process. We're currently in discussions with several of our clients about engaging in six-figure contracts regarding the new product and have received several acquisition inquiries. 

Dreamten went above and beyond and took ownership of the design and product pieces. They didn't just deliver modern designs; the new product they helped build is the first of its kind and will take our company in a new direction. The team didn't shy away from tackling challenging problems. 

The new UI/UX designs were the same quality as our top contenders. We also liked that design was their sole focus and area of expertise, which allowed our internal team to concentrate on the technical side. That way, we complemented each other well with no overlap. Overall, we look forward to delivering an exciting experience to our users and partners.

How did Dreamten perform from a project management standpoint?

They did an excellent job. Their team worked tirelessly and nonstop to get our products where we needed them. They embraced new technologies and difficult tasks. They would often have the designs ready for questions before we even asked them.  We met twice a week via Zoom, and they were also available to us on Slack all the time. 

How did XYZ perform from a project management standpoint?

It was an honor working with Philip, Jason, Grace, and Lahesh. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

Dreamten's ability to take on problems at the highest level distinguished them from the competition. They also felt like part of our team, which added much value to the partnership. Moreover, they offered multiple valuation services at a fraction of the cost and provided us with exceptional designs, products, and support.

Are there any areas they could improve?

There's nothing I can think of for them to improve. 

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

Define a project scope and leave the rest to Dreamten.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the head of design of a blockchain company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenges were you trying to address with Dreamten?

We needed help with design services for our company.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Dreamten has been helping us with UI/UX, product, and graphic design in a remote capacity. The team has also worked with us on proof of concept, prototype design, and brand creation projects.

Dreamten has been working with us since the v1 version of our projects, which is the most tricky part, especially with blockchain technology. The team has addressed all of the design-related issues we’ve encountered and has worked very closely with us to define the UX and understand the programming languages and patents we want to implement, including all the new sets of products we can build on top. These tasks have also required them to partner with our project manager for user and competitive landscape research to see what features make more sense for the products we want to build.

Ultimately, we’ve decided to create out-of-the-box explorer and blockchain wallet products.

What was the team composition? 

Throughout the many sprints we’ve been working on, we’ve interacted with several people from Dreamten’s team, including Philip (Founder), designers, and researchers, depending on what’s most applicable and who is available.

How did you come to work with Dreamten?

Dreamten was already working with us when I took my current position.

How much have you invested with them?

So far, we’ve spent $400,000–$500,000 with them.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in April 2022, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Dreamten’s work has helped us remove friction from the developers who build products on top of our blockchains. Both of the products that Dreamten has been working on are user-friendly, have a distinctive look and feel, and have received positive feedback. In addition, the wallet product they’re helping us with is the most successful, consumer-oriented wallet in the blockchain field.

Overall, Dreamten’s work has been successful, including the proof of concept projects they’ve been involved in, because it has helped us leverage our products and convert potential partners.

How did Dreamten perform from a project management standpoint?

Dreamten has exceeded our expectations in terms of project management because they deliver everything on time and within budget and communicate well with us. Regarding tools, we mainly use Slack and ClickUp.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Dreamten is nimble, and I’m also constantly amazed by their high-quality turnarounds, ability to listen, responsiveness to feedback, and innovative ideas.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I don’t think they can improve anything; given the constraints and what I’ve needed from them, everything has been good so far.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I’m confident with Dreamten’s ambiguity, but to get the best results, I recommend being specific with the problem statement you bring to them and having an inquisitive mind in the early stages of the design process.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m a product engineer for a company that works on legacy applications and mainframe applications modernization. We can work on apps developed 30 years ago to figure out how they work and document those systems. Our clients are typically financial institutions and government agencies who want to modernize their mainframe. We review the app’s code, create documentation, and eventually migrate the app to a modern language like Java or C#. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Dreamten?
We needed to overhaul our website and improve our web platform’s UI/UX design to enhance our market presence.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?
Initially, Dreamten helped us update our sales and marketing materials and overhaul our website. One of the primary deliverables of this project was our web platform’s UI/UX design overhaul, and Dreamten implemented changes based on the customer usability study they conducted. Dreamten talked to some of our major customers to identify our platform’s pain points and improvement opportunities.
Dreamten used Webflow and Figma to create prototypes and shared the progress with us. The team later deployed these designs on our web-based platform.

What is the team composition?
I worked with around 5–7 teammates from Dreamten, including Phil (Founder) and Jason (Partner). I also worked with one developer, Rob (Senior Product Designer), and three other designers.

How did you come to work with Dreamten?
Our project manager found Dreamten on Google and reached out to them along with other service providers. We were impressed with Dreamten’s portfolio and selected them over their competitors. Additionally, Dreamten was located in our area. 

How much have you invested with them?
We spent around $50,000–$200,000 with Dreamten.

What is the status of this engagement?
We first contacted Dreamten in February 2023 and signed the contract in April 2023. We wrapped up our project in October 2023.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
Dreamten’s design work quality was fantastic. The designers we worked with were very experienced and had great ideas that were able to execute. Our platform wasn’t live yet, but we saw a traffic increase on our website.
Moreover, Dreamten sat with us and took the time to understand how our product was intended to be used, which was really helpful in improving our platform’s UX. 

How did Dreamten perform from a project management standpoint?
Dreamten went deep into our project and platform’s features, which caused us to push the final delivery date because the team worked more than we had originally contracted them for. However, I can’t say it was an issue because this was the result of Dreamten’s thoroughness during the project.
Dreamten was good at taking our feedback, listening to our concerns, and adjusting as necessary. We had weekly Zoom meetings and shared a Slack channel. Dreamten also invited us to their Figma board, where they shared designs as they progressed, and we could add comments. 

Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?
I had good interactions with Jason; he was good at managing the design process. I’d also like to shout out Rob, who had great design ideas.

Are there any areas they could improve?
An improvement opportunity for Dreamten could be regarding upfront communication. Although the team gave us a deeper understanding than our original expectations, we had planned to use certain tools or platforms for development, and Dreamten didn’t use those tools directly. 
Some design tools didn’t correlate with the development side, and we had to figure out which tools to use. We were expecting to get some components, but we could’ve just had better communication up front with Dreamten.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?
I recommend ensuring you have all your questions in place because Dreamten is really responsive and communicative.
