OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What specific goals or objectives did you hire Habitat Design Agency to accomplish?

• When we decided to redesign our marketing website, we knew it had to reflect the growth of our company after securing new funding. We needed a site that would look solid, trustworthy, and professional — something that could support our bigger marketing goals. That’s where the Habitat Design Agency came in. Our main objective was to create a website that looked sharp and could scale alongside our marketing materials, representing our payment solutions effectively across industries like food and services.

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

Habitat’s team really impressed me right from the start. They spent time understanding our business through workshops, competitor analysis, and target audience research. This was very valuable for me personally and for all our team it was eye-opening. Their approach during the research phase actually gave us a few new insights we hadn’t considered. Habitat helped us see how our brand could be positioned more effectively with a cohesive story across the site. Instead of showing us a few homepage options, they presented full visual directions that tied everything together: colors, imagery, even subtle design elements that reinforced who we are as a company.

The design process felt smooth and collaborative. Habitat thoughtfully structured the new pages. Instead of just listing our products, they made sure each section had a clear purpose — highlighting our payment terminals, explaining our software solutions in a way that made them feel approachable, and showcasing real-world use cases to make it easier for businesses to see how our system could work for them. I appreciated how they suggested using template-based designs for certain sections to speed up development without compromising quality. The UI kit they provided was a game changer for our dev team — it made implementation so much faster and more consistent.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

One of the biggest signs that the redesign worked was the feedback we received after launching. Within weeks, we noticed that new clients seemed more confident when reaching out. In fact, during one sales call, a potential client mentioned how clear and professional our website looked, saying it helped him understand our system without needing extra explanations. That kind of feedback was proof that the design wasn’t just aesthetically pleasing — it was doing its job in building trust.

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

Working with the Habitat Design Agency was easy because they managed the project efficiently. They stayed actively involved during the development phase, which made a huge difference. The Habitat team was always responsive, quick to adjust based on feedback, and proactive in suggesting improvements.

What was your primary form of communication with Habitat Design Agency?

• Virtual Meeting

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

What impressed me the most was how Habitat approached our project with a strategic mindset, helping us think beyond design and consider how the site could support our business goals. Their attention to detail and creative problem-solving made them feel like an extension of our team.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Habitat Design Agency could have done differently?

Honestly, there’s nothing I’d change about this experience with Habitat Design Agency.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What specific goals or objectives did you hire Habitat Design Agency to accomplish?

• When we decided to bring our idea for a patient-doctor platform to life, we knew we needed a partner who could translate our vision into a user-friendly, intuitive design. That’s why we reached out to the Habitat Design Agency. Our goal was to create a seamless experience that would simplify appointment booking — both in-person and telemedicine — while also incorporating advanced features like an AI notetaker to ease the workload for doctors.

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

When we approached Habitat Design Agency, we had an idea for a platform to simplify appointment management for doctors and patients, but we needed expert support to bring it to life from a UX/UI perspective. Habitat started with in-depth industry and competitor research, which helped us identify what was missing in the market and how to position our product differently. I really appreciated how they approached user personas — they didn’t just rely on generic assumptions but created detailed, well-thought-out profiles based on actual user behaviors and needs

What impressed me most was how they translated these insights into clear user flows. Their design process felt like a deep dive into our product’s logic, ensuring every screen had a purpose. For example, they suggested integrating an AI notetaker feature, even though we weren’t sure if we’d have time to develop it for the MVP. Habitat’s thinking made us reconsider some of our feature priorities because the flow made so much sense. The clickable prototype they delivered genuinely felt like interacting with a real product. They also prepared a pitch deck that visually tied everything together, which became a key asset when we presented it to stakeholders

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

One of the biggest indicators of success was the feedback we got after presenting the prototype to potential investors. One of them said, "This feels like something that’s ready to launch, not just an early-stage concept." That was huge for us because, at that point, we only had the design — development was in progress.

We also shared the prototype with a small group of doctors for feedback, and their reactions were incredibly positive. They found the booking flow intuitive and even mentioned how easy it was to navigate compared to other platforms they’d used. One doctor specifically pointed out that the AI notetaker feature was exactly the kind of tool he’d been missing, which was great validation considering we weren’t initially sure about including it in the MVP.

This kind of feedback didn’t just validate our product direction — it also helped us secure interest from investors, proving that strong UX/UI design alone can make a powerful impact even before development begins.

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

Habitat Design Agency managed the entire project with impressive efficiency. They met every deadline, maintained clear communication, and were highly responsive to our feedback. The fact that they delivered a fully functional prototype and pitch deck in just seven weeks speaks volumes about their dedication and expertise

What was your primary form of communication with Habitat Design Agency?

• Virtual Meeting

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

What impressed us most was Habitat’s ability to balance creativity with functionality. They ensured that  the platform looked good and worked flawlessly for both doctors and patients. Habitat’s attention to detail, strategic thinking, and user-centric approach made all the difference. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a design partner who truly understands how to bring digital products to life.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Habitat Design Agency could have done differently?

There’s genuinely nothing we would have changed about our collaboration.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the co-founder and COO of a startup.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Habitat Creative Company?

Our goal was to create a new brand identity and visual design for our startup. We also wanted to take what we’d done in product design and elevate it to align with the new brand. Finally, we wanted to improve UI/UX elements.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Habitat Creative Company provided branding and product design services. We initially had a call with the managing director. Afterward, we introduced ourselves and asked any questions we had. Ultimately, the engagement started with a brief; we confirmed it, signed the contract, and met the creative team. They told us the project plan and milestones for the entire engagement.

Many of the insights were previously validated by us.

What is the team composition?

We had four main points of contact: an account manager, a creative director, a product designer, and a motion designer.

How did you come to work with Habitat Creative Company?

They were a referral, but we also used Clutch to verify their other work.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent around $15,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked with them from April–May 2024. We completed the project a week ago.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

It’s still early in terms of quantitative KPIs. However, we’ve shared the project with some of our super users, and they look happy with the direction of the product. 

Another indicator of Habitat Creative Company’s work quality is that we’ve taken their design to our internal engineering and product development team, and they’re pretty happy.

How did Habitat Creative Company perform from a project management standpoint?

They were on time and within budget, so we were entirely on track. We had regular weekly meetings, and they were clear upfront about the project's cost, who would be involved, and why that was the estimate for the budget.

We mainly communicated through Slack; we were part of a Slack channel. We also met through Google Meet, shared materials through Figma, and used Notion for the project plan.

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

My shout-out is to Alina (Art Director); she was our creative director. She was amazing and professional. Alina tried to understand our target audience in healthcare and had terrific ideas. Additionally, she knew how to communicate verbally, written, and visually.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Habitat Creative Company was smooth and had good deliverables compared to other agencies. They took feedback early and ensured the designs were translatable to actual development work.

Are there any areas they could improve?

One of the things we discussed was copywriting. They should have the capability to add a copywriter to the team, especially since they work with clients from different countries. Language and many insights are very local. Adding people with copywriting skills would take them to the next level as a creative agency.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

You should share your expectations upfront and spend a lot of time on the brief. Especially in specialized industries, let them know the functionality of what you’re building and the emotional aspect of your audience. The more time you invest in the brief, the better they’ll understand the world you’re building and help you lead a more creative and nuanced result.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

Our company is a fast growing venture-backed fintech business based in New York. I am the co-founder of the company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Habitat Creative Company?

We initially hired Habitat to help us design landing pages. They have been amazing and their role quickly grew to cover design for all of our growth assets including our website, all landing pages, emails, ads, and any other marketing/growth collateral as well as several critical in-product / onboarding flows.

SOLUTION

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

We conducted a rigorous evaluation process of several vendors on Clutch and another similar website. After initial evaluation, we conducted a test design project with the top 3 or 4 companies. Habitat provided the most creative and cleanest designs and was by far the best to work with in that test project, so we went with them and have never looked back.

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

We contracted Habitat to manage own all of our marketing design. They have become a core part of our team and we have a relationship like with any of our internal employees. Habitat manages all designs for our website, our landing pages, all our emails, and also some of our in product UI designs. We prioritize a backlog of work together in Asana at the beginning of each week, and then have two quick check-ins during the week. The primary tool we use for design with Habitat is Figma and they are absolute rockstars.

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

We work with several resources from the Habitat team. There is a project manager who helps coordinate everything, there are several UI and UX designers based on our needs, as well an animation designer. Our primary contacts are the project manager and one key designer. Whenever they need specialists - for example illustrators - they have additional people on their team that they can pull in.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Working with Habitat has been amazing. We have worked with several designers in the past and nobody even comes close to the level of quality and ease of working we get with the Habitat team. We completely revamped our website and brand identity and our website and landing page conversion has improved significantly. It's completely day and night to what we had before.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The workflow between "our team" and "their team" is so effective that even the wording of this question seems off to me - that is because it does not feel like "their team" and "our team" at all. We are truly just one integrated team. They really understand the priorities that we're working on, we have a seamless process to prioritize tasks and get work done. The team members from Habitat always have creative ideas to share and input on what is most important, which really helps as we are not designers ourselves.

The process is super smooth - once the tasks are defined and priorities are set, the work just comes flying back and always looking good. The time zone difference also helps. Whenever we have urgent tasks we just prioritize them on the backlog in the afternoon US time, and we wake up in the morning and it's done and beautiful as always - like magic!

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

The enthusiasm, commitment, creativity and work ethic that everybody on the Habitat team brings to the table is next level. Finding good people is the hardest and most important part of building a succesful company. Before we found Habitat, we worked with several different designers and it was never easy. Then we found Habitat and the magic started. We are extremely lucky to have worked with them and would highly recommend them to anybody.

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

There is really nothing I would change. As I'm sure it's clear from my review by now, the Habitat team is top tier!

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the Founder and Director at STORE 5a. We buy and sell luxury jewelry, watches, and handbags both online and in-store.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Habitat?

Almost seven years ago, we started selling luxury goods online. Since then, our online sales have grown, and our company has expanded into three physical stores. We needed a website that better complimented the luxury feel and experience that we were known for providing in our stores. We turned to Habitat to help design a more intuitive website, enhance the customer experience, and perfect our branding.

SOLUTION

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

Initially, we had reached out to people within our network to see if our peers had any good recommendations. After several disappointing interviews, we began searching for what we needed on Clutch. After narrowing down the skillset and budget parameters, we found Habitat and several others. After meeting with all of them, we quickly realized that the team at Habitat understand precisely what our needs were and how to achieve them.

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

We began by providing them with an RFP for the work that needed to be done. Soon after, we joined a call with their team to discuss more of the details of the job. A few days later, they came back with a full proposal and pricing. Once approved, they began work almost immediately. During the first few weeks, there were several calls to ensure that the visuals were matching the look and feel that we were after. Once that was locked in, they began building out each page. Before each portion of the site was completed, they would share working prototypes using Figma. Here we could add notes or approve the work. All and all, they made the entire process very simple!

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

We worked consistently with 4 of their team members. Each one was eager to help, very knowledgeable, and quick to communicate with.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The project has stayed within the time scope and price range originally quoted. We have not had the designs developed or implemented yet, so we do not have results to share, however, we feel very positive about what they have provided!

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Extremely. We used mostly two channels of communication. The first was sending Figma files through slack. This was very helpful because we had all of our conversations in one place and any adjustments that needed to be made could be recorded in Figma. Secondly, for any major updates or conversations, we would hope on a video call with several members of their team.

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

The designs they built were extremely tasteful and contemporary. They were fast in their work and communication.

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

To be honest, I don't have any critiques. I would work with them again and recommend them to others.

BACKGROUND

I’m the founder and CEO of an early-stage fintech startup in the UK.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Habitat?

We don’t have an internal design team and needed help with the UI/UX of our web app, so we turned to Habitat.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Habitat is working with us on designing our web app, focusing primarily on the user interface and the user journey. We’ve provided the team with sketches of what the product should look like, and they’re now building off of those ideas. The final deliverables are Figma designs and prototypes that our tech team can test and implement. 

What is the team composition?

We’re working with 3–5 people from their team.

How did you come to work with Habitat?

Clutch’s website was a big part of our search process. I shortlisted a few options and looked into their past works, customer reviews, and understanding of the work during our initial calls. Based on that, I chose Habitat.

How much have you invested with them?

I’ve invested $10,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in August 2021, and it is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The quality of Habitat’s work is very good. They’re collaborative, able to get our vision right, and create designs that are easy for our frontend developers to implement. 

How did Habitat perform from a project management standpoint?

Habitat is very timely. They deliver on time and within budget, and they’re really good at estimating and being upfront. The process is very transparent, and it’s been a really good experience working with them.

Most of our communication is done via Slack, but we got through briefs on documents or in a mirror view on Figma.

What did you find most impressive about them?

What we like about Habitat is how good they are at understanding our needs and requirements. They’re very skilled at bringing ideas to life and creating an interface that is in line with our expectations. They’re very engaged and really enjoy working on the project. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, there’s nothing I’d have them improve. I’m very happy to continue working with them.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Make sure you have conversations with them about how the process is going to work and how you can prepare your requirements. They’re flexible and work according to what you need.
