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

All meeting were held online, that provided fast and efficient work. At first meeting me (brand manager) and my colleague (head of online services) have started the communication with project manager of League Design, we got intro about League design company and shared our main tasks we need to solve: develop UI/UX design for two sites, one from sketch (we only had raw visual branding), other based on developed TOV and full visual identity, values and mission. 

We were presented detailed workflow and agreed about telegram as a main soft for communication all through the process. After first meeting PM send us accurate action plan from Discovery to Site on air point with all time-managements and counted price for every step. We approved a price and started working strictly to a presented plan. PM and designer in a really short terms managed to deal with discovery, but the short timing wasn't a payment for high quality information and insides. 

After that every week we had from 1 to 3 online meetings throughout which the team were introducing to us the concept, visual metaphor, archetypes, drafts in Figma, listening to our feedback and implementing our edits or politely describing to us why in terms sites developments our edits can not be done or are not actually as useful as we thought. 

Meetings were led by PM and Designer (different ones for every site as we had to develop two) from League Design and BM, head of online development, CEO and HRD from our side. Every meeting was arranged based on both side's comfortable timing and felt really productive (our head of online development even named this meeting 'his own therapy')). Work was moving rapidly and flowy, we felt heard and understood. 

After the final design presentation of our sites, we passed to developers, but we are still in touch with the League Design team due to the need to solve the appearing details in the site design based on foreign market landing and some specifics we could now only after customer testing.

They created a web design for our new product launch. They made sure the design process remained on schedule & worked very transparently on everything they were doing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

• The final, ready to implement, Web Design that our team ABSOLUTELY LOVED.

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

In the past, I’ve worked with web designers that can get carried away in their creativity and make a project take 2x as long. I’ve also had designers that weren’t very responsive when we needed them to be. That made me worried for this design, but League design was the most responsive & timely team I’ve ever worked with, and I’ve worked with over 30 freelancer teams in my career.

 They made all my worries go away since our first meeting. Everything was superbly on time and they made sure that you stayed on schedule. Responsiveness and timeliness are obviously highly rated goals within their company.

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

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

I loved their creative process. They truly know how to reach into your mind and pull out that obscure and powerful feeling that you want to bring your audience to experiencing. The cool thing about it is that it’s built INTO their process, so that anyone on their team knows how to repeat the phenomenal magic. I was also super duper impressed by how on point they were with timing, checking up, and keeping things on schedule.

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

They were very transparent. Sometimes, I just trusted them and didn’t need them to explain all the little details so much. It was a little bit too transparent sometimes, but it wasn’t to any extreme degree.
