Movadex

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of a digital IT firm — Casana.

What challenge were you trying to address with Movadex?

We contract other companies to support us. In this instance, we needed a vendor to help with web development and logo design.

What was the scope of their involvement?

We initially contracted Movadex to complete a small-scale project, which allowed us to assess the quality of their services. As that project was successful, we then contracted them for WordPress website and logo creation.

We gave them detailed requirements and materials such as pictures and guidelines for the branding. We also gave them examples of websites and logos, so they knew what we wanted. Their team created different pages, including a landing page, and implemented dynamic elements throughout the website. They branded the site and designed the UI/UX.

What is the team composition?

There was a project manager, two WordPress developers, and a UI/UX designer on their team.

How did you come to work with Movadex?

Movadex approached us and made a good first impression. I had a call with their COO that went well, and we decided to start our partnership with a short fixed-price project.

How much have you invested with them?

We've spent less than $10,000 on the project.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in September 2020, and their work is ongoing.

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

The project’s ongoing because we’re still providing Movadex with feedback. Their team’s iterating on the website’s look and feel. However, it’s been successful so far. We’re really happy and have no complaints.

How did Movadex perform from a project management standpoint?

We communicate via Slack, and we’re happy with their project management. Their team’s responsive and patient with our stakeholders’ feedback.  However, Movadex’s work is usually well-received. Although the project’s ongoing, it’s not because Movadex works slowly.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I liked being able to connect with their COO. Movadex is responsive.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Our first project went well, and our current project’s going well.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

It’s important to know what you want. The clearer the requirements, the better they can execute.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm a startup marketer and go-to-market strategist.

For what projects/services did your company hire Movadex, and what were your goals?

Develop a personal blog where I can publish my writing and showcase my recent projects, including my newsletter and podcast.

How did you select Movadex and what were the deciding factors?

Of all the agencies that I reached out to, I found Movadex to be the most professional and ambitious of all when it came to this project specifically. They provided a clear plan of action to get the project done.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

Design and development of a personal blog using Strapi, Gatsby and Netlify. Initially, the wireframes were developed and delivered in Figma. Upon receiving my feedback, they went through a number of iterations before moving forward to development.

The development took twice as long as the design. The website was shared and we went through a few rounds of feedback on the developed website to get to the ideal state.

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

I worked with four people directly (CEO, COO, junior designer, and junior developer). I believe there were quite a few other individuals contributing to the project in the background that I didn't work with directly.

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

The finished product was very close to the ideal picture I had in mind during the conceptual stage.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timelines.

We used Notion and Slack to stay in touch and coordinate on different fronts. All the team members were super responsive and available throughout the project.

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

They were very open to feedback and provided as many iterations as required to reach the desired state.

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

Nothing specific comes to mind for this project.

What were your goals for this project?

The goals were to create mobile apps for client registration. To link the client's face and the payment card.

How did you select Movadex?

I looked for a team that had their own vision, integrity, and phenomenal work ethic. And I found them! We interviewed many companies for this project, but Movadex team stood out from the very beginning. Even during the sales process, I never felt like I was a client, I felt as part of a team.

What was the team composition?

We worked with a team of 4-6 professionals throughout this project.

They follow SCRUM model, but in a very customized way. Their flexibility is indispensible. We communicated with PM and developers over chat and weekly calls. Updates were provided in Asana.

Please describe your company and your position there.

Senior Project Manager for Souktel Digital Solutions, a Palestinian Human Centered Design Technology. I oversaw the creation of an enterprise digital product to streamline humanitarian and disaster response.

For what projects/services did your company hire Movadex?

Our team hired Movadex to take on the visual design and clickable wireframing of our flagship humanitarian response platform. This project involved translating sketches into VC-ready wireframes that could illustrate the value of our platforms prototype.

What were your goals for this project?

Our goal was to get a prototype/ concept that was palatable to VC's and other investors. It needed to look cutting edge, but also have sound structure. We worked with Movadex to think through both the structure and design in a very short period of time, developing VC-ready wireframes.

How did you select Movadex?

We selected Movadex because we had a referral and a connection to their team. After hearing about their work, we vetted their past design experiences and websites which showed exemplary design skills for large-scale public platforms utilizing biometrics and other similar design flows. We then looked at their prices and compared them to other vendors. Movadex had tremendous value for their price.

Describe the project in detail.

Once we selected Movadex I handed over rudimentary drawn, or Adobe wireframes that were not dynamic to Movadex. We explained the idea at length and talked to them about structures and workflows. For each page our team developed much of the UX structure and the proposed data hierarchy while Movadex translated it quickly to an eye-grabbing demo for us to use in pitches.

We collaborated in real-time in Figma with incredible speed. The whole process was methodical and "agile" moving at a quick and transparent pace.

What was the team composition?

Nor, Vasyl, and Gregory who worked on the design were remarkably receptive and often answered our questions before we asked them. Salome, who worked on their BD team was thorough, fast, and highly professional.

They are young, very sharp, extremely responsive over any medium, adaptive to change, and intuitive. Each and every one of them offered feedback to our ideas in addition to building a product we wanted. This process was thus highly collaborative. They are very well suited for work with any startup or large task.

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

The project was a great success. In a short period of time their work got us from drawings to wireframes that were ready for pitch decks at a fair price. We presented the product to multiple angel investor networks, venture capitalists, etc. Many of them mentioned the sleek design.

Our original expectations were cautious but optimistic given the 1 month timeline we had before our first pitch, Movadex greatly exceeded our expectations. They provided a stellar product that realized our vision and goals.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

It was highly collaborative. We did quick calls every few days on Skype and added comments live in Figma as they developed. In Figma we could view progress as it happened and leave feedback which they would change often 10 seconds after a comment.

From a digital technology PM's perspective their communications, scheduling, and QA was above industry standard and took tremendous levels of stress off of me and the rest of our team at a crucial time.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

I was most impressed by their incredible intuition and care in taking on somebody else's idea and making it a shared product. They added ideas as well as designs, with true critical thinking in a way that most UI design shops never would. I was also very impressed by their speed, professionalism, and dedication.

As a young crew, they proved themselves well beyond their years and are truly a team to watch out for. They were used to working across timezones which was very important for our team who was global.

Are there any areas for improvement?

I am a highly critical person and genuinely there were none. They took our project, which was well behind schedule, and put us ahead of schedule in the span of only a few weeks.
