INTEX agency

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of Carpe Diem, an app for quickly booking beauty services. We’re developing an app that will allow 24/7 online booking so that any user can book a beauty service in three clicks.

What challenge were you trying to address with INTEX agency?

I engaged INTEX agency to build the user flow, build wireframes, investigate our potential user's requirements, and for UI/UX design.

What was the scope of their involvement?

INTEX agency helped us with UI/UX design. They started with user research; the team collected feedback from almost 2,000 people in over 10 countries. Most of the research was in Ukraine, where we will launch the app.

They interviewed the users about what they’d like to see on the app and the difficulties they’d encountered booking a beauty salon. From that research, INTEX agency defined four user personas. 

After that, the team built the wireframes that define what will happen with every single click on the app. They designed the user flow with all its features using Figma.

What is the team composition?

Overall, we worked with around eight people from INTEX agency.

How did you come to work with INTEX agency?

Before finding them, I had done thorough research on Google about IT companies and HR companies that provided IT personnel, and it hadn’t worked out. I found INTEX agency through Upwork, had a quick interview, and knew right away that this was a great team. 

We synchronized from the very first word about what we wanted and what needed to be done. During our second call, INTEX agency delivered a complete description of what they would do step by step, how long it would take, and the cost.  

How much have you invested with them?

We spent less than $15,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

The project lasted from November 2019–April 2020.

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

Thanks to INTEX agency’s work, we have four new investors for this app, enabling us to keep building it.

The team never provided raw work. Their deliverables were finalized and nicely done versions that needed minor amendments. Every time we discussed changes, they would deliver a perfectly done new version by the following week.

INTEX agency also had a great ability to pick up our requirements from the first conversation, so we didn’t spend extra time explaining anything.

How did INTEX agency perform from a project management standpoint?

They were super proactive; they worked extra hours for their own curiosity and were willing to sacrifice their own time to deliver the results. For example, we had demo shows for the beauty salons, and the team sometimes sacrificed their weekends to hop on the calls to explain the user flow and demonstrate the app’s screens. 

Our communication was very easy, structured, and didn’t take much of my time — I only had to explain things once. We used Google Hangouts, Telegram, Slack, Skype, and Zoom. For project management, we used Asana.

We had weekly calls to review the results and discuss what should be improved. They always provided me with a deliverable the day before the call, so I had the time to check, review, and make my own opinion about it. 

I was also very happy in terms of the timeline. Overall, INTEX agency did a great job from an organizational point of view. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

I was impressed by how much the INTEX agency team liked what they did. They didn’t just work for the money; they were also obsessed with the idea and worked for fun.

Additionally, they were very honest about their billable hours. I received a full report of what they delivered and how much it cost, so there were no hidden charges.

INTEX agency’s team was proactive and structured. They weren’t asking questions every single minute. Instead, they would send me an email with maybe 20 questions and give me time to answer. That way, they would receive a unified batch of information. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Hire INTEX agency and help them expand – they’re really worth it!

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I am the co-founder and product owner at AI on Spectrum, a health technology startup that helps neurodiverse individuals learn about emotions and their context. 

What challenge were you trying to address with INTEX agency?

I was looking for outsourced development and design help since we were bootstrapping and our budget was low.

What was the scope of their involvement?

INTEX agency completed a very complex web-based app development project for us. First, INTEX agency utilized existing design elements to unify the app design so it could work for various users. They also provided us with some insight on user flows to ensure the app was easy to use. 

Their team then designed several app features from scratch and implemented them during the development phase. Once the app's first iteration was completed, we ran several tests to determine what our development priorities should be for the second iteration. 

Once the second iteration is complete, INTEX agency will begin design work on an iOS version of the app. 

What is the team composition?

We worked with four teammates, including several developers, a project manager, and a designer. 

How did you come to work with INTEX agency?

My partner encountered them on Upwork and recommended them to me. 

How much have you invested with them?

We've invested around $5,000 with INTEX agency. 

What is the status of this engagement?

We began working together in July 2021 and our engagement is ongoing. 

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

We achieved what we expected with INTEX agency: the first iteration of the app is complete.

How did INTEX agency perform from a project management standpoint?

The project manager handled all aspects of the project, and they were able to stay within our budget. I used Shortcut for project management and met twice a week on Zoom to discuss project progress. They were very responsive, and if we needed something delivered, they were quick to get it done. 

However, they did run over the estimated project timeline. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

INTEX agency is very easy to work with, and we get really good value for our money. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

I use a project management tool on my side to track the project, but I think INTEX agency should implement it across all their clients and projects. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I'd advise customers with a smaller budget to work with INTEX agency because they're very accommodating regarding startups with limited budgets.

They were referred to me, and I started working with them on a previous project.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent $3,000 with them; they gave a discount since it wasn’t the first project we did with them.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from May–December 2020.

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

Everything was possible with them; they were responsible, and I knew I could count on them. INTEX did what they had to do to meet my deadlines, and if I messed something up on the website, they’d still help me even at night if needed — everything was good.

How did INTEX agency perform from a project management standpoint?

It was a communicative collaboration where they asked questions, and we answered to help them meet all the deadlines. We had a Google Sheet where we had tasks throughout the engagement.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They delivered what they promised, and they didn’t just look to sell something. They also had a solid web designer.

Are there any areas they could improve?

There’s nothing they need to improve on — they were great.

We launched a new design studio and needed a website that matched our design aesthetic and clearly communicated our point of view and position within the design realm.

The kick-off meeting was the first step in meeting with the team, discussing my ideas and goals, and showing them a mock-up of the desired design. From there we created PSD files of the website (both web and mobile), these were then pass along to the Intex team, from there they began to build the website. A few coordination meetings on Zoom, to clarify intent and design, ask questions and provide feedback. They suggested excellent edits to the mobile and web features, including adding animations etc.

I worked directly with Evgeniy - he was incredibly helpful in all areas of the project, communicated very quickly and clearly, always available to answer my questions etc. Very helpful all around - great experience.
