Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Caviar was tasked with re-designing our landing page. Initially, we were hesitant that it was worth investing in outside design support for this project, because historically we didn't have great results working with design agencies over individual designers. Catalog was several cuts above anything we'd expected. 

Not only did they provide immensely improved directions almost immediately, their attention to process and detail was amazing, as well as their patience for our feedback cadence and pattern. We saw an uptick in conversion, and Catalog's "Sign up with Google" suggestion was super valuable for capturing more traffic from top of funnel.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

• Conversion Rate (from landing page to sign-up) 
• Onboarding Completion Rate

Our whole team fell in love with the landing page they designed us, and so did our customers - lots of them. Catalog also did some pretty gnarly UX work for us, specifically helping us with onboarding - again, they knocked it out of the park.
