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

We hired Foursets to redesign our website and implement it in Webflow. To start they helped us find inspiration for what we were after, and used our existing research to help them understand our industry and what we thought would help us stand out. Once design was approved, the built the website in Webflow and turned it over to us in a way that is easy for us to update and manage the content.

Key Deliverables:

• Website research
• Website content mapping
• Website design
• Website development

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

At each point in the process, Foursets provided a new deliverable. A map of the content for the website, wireframes of the design, high fidelity mockups, and finally the actual website. They were pretty much always timely with their progress updates and were very receptive to feedback. 

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Yes, they routinely delivered items on time. The original timeline was shorter than what it actually took, but that is also because we asked for several changes. They were very receptive to changes and handled them well. They were also great at explaining certain decisions and concepts to us so that we could understand. 

What was your primary form of communication with Foursets?

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

They are tremendous value for the money. We're extremely happy with what we paid, and they are helpful enough that we're looking forward to using them more in the future for additional designs and content. 

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

Day-to-day communication/updates during the website build were rare. It would have been nice to even see screenshot updates of the work progressing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

LulleVibes will finally have an online presence. And not just any presence, but one that is tailored to the company's identity, vision and needs.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Flawless communication! The team is indeed fantastic! Everything went smooth and the Foursets team members assigned to the project were very reliable and always delivered everything on time. Their work was impressive, very thorough, and they took the time to understand the company and really implemented the vision we had for our online presence. Feedback came within a day at all times and for every question we had.

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

The fast response times and the friendliness make Foursets stand out. Every team member communicated in a way that felt like we were one big team working on a common goal. That is really to appreciate in today's business landscape. Of course, apart from the obvious - their impeccable expertise. They were very accommodating regardless of the needs we had. 

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

Nothing to add here. We are really happy with the results and will definitely come back to Foursets for our upcoming projects over the next months. :)

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.
I'm the founder of a video production and strategy company for consumer packaged goods mostly.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Foursets?
We needed to create a new website that was more modern, organized, and attractive to bring in more lead flow and elevate our web presence.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Foursets completely redesigned our website and was responsible for the end-to-end rebuild using Webflow and JavaScript. The team defined the site's design layout and provided copywriting. I requested the team to perform flexible customizations, especially for our portfolio and sorting options. I also requested Foursets to lay out the site in a way that navigation would be easy to digest and to make it mobile responsive. My previous site was slower and not optimized for search engines.

What is the team composition?

We worked with around four teammates from Foursets, including Nick (Founder) and Ellina (Project Manager).

How did you come to work with Foursets?

I found Foursets on Clutch and selected them after noting their reviews and work. I liked their design work and found value in the team's offering.
How much have you invested with them?

We spent below $10,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked with Foursets from February–July 2024. The team has launched the website and is working on some tweaks. We're also looking into other potential services for the future. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

After Foursets launched our new site, we saw a substantial increase in web speed and a much better mobile experience. We received a couple of leads right out of the gate and saw more submissions coming from search optimization. The site also had improved lead flow and navigation. The final website was effective, and we were really happy with the result. 

Foursets was very responsive, and I had no complaints about their work. The team's work received many compliments and improved our SEO.

How did Foursets perform from a project management standpoint?

We communicated via Slack and Zoom meetings. Foursets was accommodating and stayed within budget. The team was quick in their development approach, making the process easy. Foursets made the development process seamless and didn't overburden me with decisions because I also had help from my team. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

Foursets wasn't the least expensive option but provided a lot more value for our money. We received high-quality work and worked with a team of experts. If I had spent the same budget working with a company from the US, I would've worked with a less experienced team. Foursets had an impressive attention to detail and focus. 

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

I suggest being involved in the process and having a clear idea of what you want. You know your industry, and Foursets is good at taking additional directions regarding the subtleties that apply to your business rather than a different industry.

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

We worked with Foursets to complete the following items for our project:

1. Develop a new brand for our company. This included research on their end about the company, services, customers, and our vision and mission. It also included multiple brand concepts and iterations that culminated in a final brand guideline package. This included fonts, logos, text, usage, placement, creative briefs, background, etc.
2. UI/UX for our website and making sure that the flow of the site matched the brand and story that we are trying to tell to our customers. 
3. Website Development was the last part of the scope that took everything we created and brought it together in a beautiful digital online presence. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We have been able to convert roughly 35% of the leads that come from our website. Our brand value has increased in our local market due to having a cohesive strategy.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Throughout the project, Foursets demonstrated exceptional project management skills. They established clear timelines, milestones, and deliverables, keeping us informed every step of the way. Their proactive approach to communication ensured that we were always aware of the project's progress and any potential roadblocks.

One of the most impressive aspects of our collaboration was Fourset's ability to deliver items on time, if not ahead of schedule. Despite the inevitable challenges that arise during such a complex undertaking, they remained dedicated to meeting deadlines and ensuring that our project stayed on track.

What was your primary form of communication with Foursets?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

The depth of knowledge in all areas of the project. Sometimes companies will say they do everything, but are only strong in 1 or 2 categories, but that was NOT the case in working with Foursets. They had a strong knowledge of all aspects and provided a great thought partner to execute the goals.

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

Honestly, there really isn't anything. They were so efficient and really kept me, as an owner, on my toes to keep up with the process and make sure that I was responding and providing information in a timely manner.

An EPA WaterSense® Partner of the Year, the company combines the latest in IoT technology, data analytics, and automation to optimize irrigation, flow management, and leak detection across an entire site. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Foursets?

We wanted to partner with a capable, talented UI/UX designer on a complicated SaaS project. There was little confidence in spinning the wheel of chance to find a designer with these large freelance websites. Instead, we looked for the best work being performed and researched the source of that work.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

When searching the web for design inspiration and design approaches, there was a sea of carbon copy designs. Whenever a new/creative/clean design caught our eye, it dawned on us to find the people doing the best work. That company was Foursets.

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

The project is to help build a powerful SaaS application that's information and data shown will inspire enterprise customers to reduce their water consumption. We cannot share the project details publically, but the project's complexity required not only excellent design but also a designer with keen reasoning skills.

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

We worked with a single Senior UI/UX Designer.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The project has not been released at the time of writing this.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The communication from Foursets was excellent. Not only did we have regular communication directly with the designer, but Foursets would reach out often requesting feedback and asking if there was anything needed to continue to make the project successful.

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

Foursets checks all of the boxes. Communication skills are excellent, design skills are the best in the industry, and much more.

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

We are very satisfied with Foursets and their abilities.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CPO of Softvoya, a software development company. We have a few different directions, including our own internal product and a project outsourcing department, where we create products upon customer needs.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Foursets?

We hired them to provide UI/UX design for a web application; we wanted to streamline the UX and ensure the UI was user-friendly and the user path was top-notch.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Foursets designed the UI/UX of a web application for our end client using Figma. First, we provided them with the business requirements, user stories, and task descriptions. We also gave them the basic colors and fonts we wanted to use, and they helped us pick the best options for both of those elements. 

The team reviewed the documentation and conducted user research to determine the user personas. They interviewed potential users and checked what our competitors were doing and how they responded to the challenges we were facing. They determined how we could utilize past practices to ensure that the product we created met market expectations. 

Our design requirements included making the product user-friendly. We also wanted the deliverables to be optimized for the frontend development team in terms of the app's components. We requested that the user flow be streamlined and that every component be applicable to different parts of the system in the same way. 

From there, the team created wireframes, user paths, and a prototype. We tested the prototype to see how users would interact with the UI and provided feedback. Foursets adjusted the design based on our comments. Once they completed the prototype and the wireframing stages, Foursets created the design system with the components that should be applied to the whole product. Then, we used the design system with the mock-up's layout. 

What is the team composition?

We mostly worked with Nick (Founder & UI/UX Designer), who was in charge of most of the project. In addition, a UI designer from Foursets worked directly with our development team. 

How did you come to work with Foursets?

I was already acquainted with Nick and knew he had started Foursets. He's a great designer, and I knew I could trust his opinion and that he'd provide a great product. Therefore, when we needed help, we got in touch with Foursets. 

How much have you invested with them?

We spent around $20,000. 

What is the status of this engagement?

This project lasted from November 2021–October 2022. Even though this project is finished, there's potential for us to work with Foursets on future projects together.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Our primary measure of Foursets’ success was our client’s satisfaction — when the customer is happy, we’re happy. The app’s UX was good; users didn’t experience significant issues determining what actions they needed to complete to use the product. These results garnered positive reviews from our client. Secondly, we also measured the good turnaround speed of the development team; the better the UI/UX design, the faster the development process. 

How did Foursets perform from a project management standpoint?

Their project management was great. Nick was always reachable for questions, even outside of working hours. Foursets also set reasonable deadlines, and they always met them. We use a task management system we created ourselves. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

I was impressed with Foursets’ ability to meet expectations and deadlines. Their ability to provide creative solutions also stood out. The team always pursued our vision and made the best decisions for the user. 

Although the end client wanted things one way, the Foursets team was able to negotiate a solution to ensure that the design was user-friendly. Overall, Foursets was great at educating us and helping us make informed decisions. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

There was nothing they needed to improve. Foursets should just keep growing!

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Listen carefully to Foursets’ ideas. Sometimes, you have to give them creative freedom and let them make decisions for you. If you let them surprise you, they can provide results that will blow your mind.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the Founder of Setproduct. We create unique design systems and UI kits for sale.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Foursets?

I hired Foursets for designing custom UI kits keeping in mind to serve our upcoming customers within reusing pre-made templates as Zeus UI kit consists of.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

I found them on LinkedIn when I was looking for a vendor for my future design system. After that, I noticed that they have relevant to my project experience with design systems and UI kits because they make Webflow templates from scratch. I decided that they can help us.

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

Our scope wasn't massive. Together we made some short market research and competitors analysis and define the scope of work. Then we started to make design from scratch in Figma. It took about 4 months part-time work. And after that we finished the design part with a great result. Right now we are working on the v2 of this product.

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

There was a sales manager when we met. During the main phase, I worked with the product designer Nick.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

It is so early to measure the results because this design system will be on sale for years until it's become not relevant for the market.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

As I said before I worked in pairs only with the designer and that's why it was easy to track our progress. We worked harmoniously using YouTrack as a project management tool and Telegram for communications.

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

I like their deep-dive approach. They always asked me about my business and customers. They were proactive which I like. The sales manager was on the pulse of our project but it wasn't needed.

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

They can improve their service by doing SEO and other marketing services. Because I wanted to continue working with them on the marketing of my project. But they weren't available for that.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am a CTO of MarketMalinois Inc. - a software company that is developing a solution for marketing reporting

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Foursets?

I and my partner had an idea of a product and its functionality but we had zero experience and knowledge in product design. We needed UI mockups, dynamic prototypes, and consulting in UX.

SOLUTION

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

I was looking for someone on LinkedIn and found Foursets. Looking at their portfolio and asking for an initial design as a test drive we decided to work with them long-term since we liked their price/quality ratio. Their communication was amazing, and they were much faster than we expected

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

The project is a web application for marketing reporting. We connect to third-party APIs and pull marketing data into beautiful dashboards. In the beginning, we had an idea that we needed to convert into design first. We first connected with Foursets, outlined our idea, and asked if they think they'll be able to create a user-friendly UI.

After initial designs, we realized that we loved both speed, price, and actual designs that Foursets provided. We decided to proceed and started to have weekly meetings to track the progress and discuss business requirements.

Foursets also worked on our public website. They fully designed it and provided consulting in no-code website development with Webflow. Foursets was very professional and helped us identify many product pain points and refine our initial idea.

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

We worked with 1 designer from Foursets

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We're still in the progress of going live. Our website will be available this July 2022. The website will be on marketmalinois.com and the web application will be on app.marketmalinois.com

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The workflow was good, and we had no problems communicating and closing issues on time.

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

The designer was very thorough and professional. He did a great design and helped us identify any product/business issues we had.

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