I am currently working as the Digital Business and Product Director at EHR Media Group.

For what projects/services did your company hire GreenPixel?

EHR hired GreenPixel to help us conceptualise the design of our new platform and bring our vision in to fruition. By doing this, we wanted to offer a more refined and up-to date music streaming and discovery service to our listeners. Moreover, along with the design of the new platform, we asked GreenPixel to create the brand book, logo design, and SM posters to accompany it.

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

We were looking for a creative design agency with a proven track record and affordable prices. We chose GreenPixel because of their previous work on similar projects in our region as well as their proven expertise in the field.

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

The first step was research: It was essential for the design company to understand the main purpose of the platform to create all the necessary features and make the platform in the most efficient way possible.

After consulting with the designers, GreenPixel came up with a solution of how to freshen up the platform to best suit the needs of our customers and show off our products.

After that, GreenPixel started working on the first sketches, then low fidelity wireframes, creation of the mood board and brand book, creating a new logo and custom icons.

After making some minor corrections and getting our approval on the deliverables, their designers started working on the visuals of the project.

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

We worked together with two designers and a project manager.

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

Working with the GreenPixel team, we were able to bring our new platform from idea to reality! As we requested, the main focus was put on the user experience of the platform since we wanted the platform to feel intuitive and easy to understand, thus encouraging new customers to develop loyalty to our brand. GP helped us achieve this goal! Overall, the project was a great success!

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

It was simple and straight forward to communicate with the Green Pixel team. They were always on time, prepared for all the calls, and ready to listen and work on the problem solutions if such arose.

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

The way GP approached our case by fully incorporating our brand identity in the new designs, making sure to align them to the vision and the mission of our company. We liked the speed of work done and showcased competence of the designers.

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

Overall, we were very satisfied with the work done by GreenPixel, but there are always some areas for improvement. For example, the initial scope of the project was not clearly outlined so we had to address the issue in the first meetings we had.

Please describe your company and your position there.

Traffic Dog is a company that offers SEO services for start-ups, SMB, and enterprises. For a fixed monthly price we provide companies with incredible SEO services: helping generate organic traffic to their website and UI/UX optimization. I am the Chief Operations Officer at Traffic Dog, so it is my job to oversee the main processes and projects.

For what projects/services did your company hire GreenPixel?

Our website was created 4 years ago and has become outdated, and did not convey our values or sell our product effectively: those users that visited the website were not converting into customers. We hired the GreenPixel team to provide the site design for us. By doing this, we were hoping to increase our traffic by the end of the year.

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

We were looking for web designers in our area. After reviewing up to 7 proposals, we have chosen Green Pixel because of the affordable price, attractive portfolio,and industry experience.

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

The work was conducted in 3 main stages - research, execution and maintenance. During the research stage, Green Pixel conducted calls with us and our team, during which we demonstrated our website, described how we make sales, the cost of our product, main selling points, our expectations for the project, etc.

During the second stage, Green Pixel has created wireframes for us, which we then tweaked from our side, until we had a concept that was perfect for our needs. They then went on to create new visuals for us in the form of a Figma file, with all of the fonts, colors, design elements. After this was approved, they went ahead and created a website on a no-code platform: Webflow.

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

In total, we worked with 2 people. Both were designers.

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

I am satisfied with the work of designers- they implemented the design easily and overall our website started to look more user friendly. The prototypes and wireframes were simple to understand even to those in our team who did not have much IT experience. We all had access and connectivity commented on the project throughout the whole process.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

GreenPixel had a hands-on approach in building websites for their end clients. It is clear that they know what they are doing, they come prepared to each meeting, with data and presentations of what changes they want to implement and how that will positively benefit us.

Before we even started they sent us a whole list of questions that they wanted us to answer, in order to understand our situation as fully as possible. It was easy to communicate with designers, all feedback was provided on time. We had online meetings via Google Meet and phone calls as well.

Slack platform was also used for the communication. When creating prototypes and wireframes we commented directly on the project elements that we wanted to change, so the design team could see it.

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

How close the prototype was to reality (we didn't lose any design elements, our vision was implemented exactly as we wanted). We also really liked the customer service, the designers were responsive, answered all of our questions and patiently explained when the product was delivered how this would be useful for us.

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

There seemed to be a little bit of miscommunication at the very beginning of the project regarding when it will be delivered, but after carefully discussing how long each step will take, we came to a conclusion and the work was delivered timely.
