I’m the co-founder of a sports media company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenges were you trying to address with Dreamten?

Through an app, we wanted to address the high school athletic marketplace to become a one-stop shop for ticketing, roster management, highlights, and stats data.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Dreamten helped us revamp the design of our fan mobile and web applications. They entailed the look between ESPN and the high school sports marketplace for our platforms' new UI/UX design. Regarding the process, they sat down with us to ask all the appropriate questions to understand our audience and competitors to the point of putting themselves in our shoes. After that, they could redefine our user personas and other platform elements.

What was the team composition? 

We interacted with Philip (Owner), their co-founder, and three other members of Dreamten's team.

How did you come to work with Dreamten?

We were looking for a partner that could focus solely on UI/UX, and after online research, we came across them on Clutch. We chose them because we liked their websites and personalities, and they seemed like they wanted to see us succeed, which I really appreciated.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent over $10,000 with them.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from December 2023–January 2024.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

I was delighted with Dreamten's design work, and our team was excited about it. In addition, they were proactive with their deliverables, doing more than we asked; I sent them our logo, and they redesigned it, and now I'm using that logo.

How did Dreamten perform from a project management standpoint?

Dreamten met deadlines and went above and beyond our expectations in that area. Regarding tools and communication, we use Slack to message each other and Zoom for weekly meetings to go over the designs.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We were impressed by Dreamten's sense of care and commitment to ensure they were looking out for us by always trying to find ways out of their scope to help us get better results.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I didn't think there was anything they could improve on.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Ensure that they have a good understanding of what you're trying to accomplish.
