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

Robert and the Nuova team contributed massively to our product's development across multiple stages and design elements. Specifically, the Nuova team started by designing our website from scratch. 

Afterwards, Robert and team continued to support by building UI components across our platform for the past 2 years, and contributed with both product mock-ups and final designs (both desktop and mobile), but also with an overhaul of our product design language and system.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

• Our public website (www.solo.ro) is the initial scope of our work together with Robert and the Nuova team and was the first deliverable. Most of our platform's UI was designed by Robert (web, iOS, Android). Our design system was proposed and built by Robert, which we now use to further develop UI elements in the platform. Robert participated in multiple customer interviews to better understand our user.

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

Project management is one of Nuova team's strong suites. We were always communicated a reliable, reasonable deadline and Robert always committed to multiple iterations to make sure the end product is one of high quality.

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

1. Robert is extremely reliable - he commits to deadlines and sticks to them with an excellent level of discipline, regardless if it's a complex project or an ad-hoc request; 
2. Quality - Robert is focused on submitting high-quality deliverables and we were always pleased with the quality of even first draft versions

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

The NUOVA Digital team is excellent at delivery. What would be taking it to the next level would be to take a more consulting/strategic role; as a client, we're stuck in operational tasks and we sometime miss the big picture, so an outside critical perspective would be appreciated

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

We had just received the first round of financing and we needed to go from MVP to a fully functional design, so we contracted Robert's team for handling the concept and design phase. Over the following 2 months, we went through several iterations for each of the 20+ pages of our solution, in order to please all the stakeholders; the result was a professionally looking, clean and user-friendly design that helped build trust around our brand.

After having the website design ready, we started working on the launch campaigns, where we needed to create ad content, print design and social media posts, all of which were done successfully by Robert and his team. Later on, during our first few months of activity, we iterated through several marketing campaigns having awesome creatives done working closely with the design team.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

• I think we can say that a design is good by measuring it's longevity. In our case, it's still alive :)
• Aesthetically pleasing for all stakeholders. User friendly design.
• Delivered in line with the project deadlines
• Figma designs made in good proportions, easy to implement with code

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

Very good project management. Assumed ownership over the design phase of our project and demonstrated initiative with innovative ideas when things were stagnating. Most of the times, the designs were completed before we were ready for the web development process, so we didn't experience delays.

What was your primary form of communication with NUOVA Digital?

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

I really liked the fact that Robert was not only an executant of tasks, but he came up with ideas and ways to make our website be more user friendly and adhere to the best practices of design.

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

It's not easy finding an answer to this question when talking about Nuova, but I'll say that they should get more resources to help with managing more requests simultaneously. Also, it would be nice if they offered more in depth support for print design services.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am a Head of Project Management in a design studio that works with different clients in the IT industry.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire NUOVA Digital Agency?

We had a client that came to us to redesign their website and their SaaS Dashboard on both desktop and mobile. We didn't have such capacity at the moment and that's why we reached out to Nuova's team. We know that they specialize in full-cycle design services and we were sure of the high quality of their work.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We were collaborating with Nuova for a very long time before that project and that's why we faced such a challenge, they were the first we thought about.

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

First of all, we redesigned the website. In order to do that we were discussing possible options and references to come up with a final approach. As a result, we chose a very style that contains big typography, strong visual elements, and clear calls to action to attract the attention of the visitors. The Nuova team also suggested highlighting all the strengths of the software and the team.

One of the key solutions was to present parts of the app so the visitors get the feeling of how the user of the app would be. The next stage was the redesign of the SaaS dashboard. Here the main attention was paid to the navigation. We were aiming to keep it consistent and native.

Last but not least was the mobile navigation challenge. Nuova's team suggested designing it in an action tab on the bottom of the screen just like a native app would have it because the users are very used to navigating like this.

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

We collaborated with Robert directly; he's a founder and CEO at Nuova.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We are totally satisfied with the results and the delivery of this project. The client's team trusted us to push the boundaries and challenge their initial brand assumptions, letting us reveal a new approach for their website and SaaS app which really changed the face of the brand to be modern, attractive, and easy to use for the customers.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The workflow was organized perfectly. We had regular team syncs and everyone was satisfied with the communication. NUOVA Digital was a team of great specialists and professionals.

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

Their UI/UX skills and ability to simplify everything impressed us a lot. Their team dives into every single detail and finds perfect solutions for complicated challenges and tasks.

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

It couldn't be done any better.

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

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

Robert was the only member who I worked with directly.

We completed the project in less time than targeted (had targeted 1 quarter and it took ~2.5 months). Implementation on the developers side has been seamless since project completion.

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

Very clear and quick communication. He jumped into our slack and made things easy for me.

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

Great ability to understand my needs, even when I came to them with an ill-formed project spec.

From my experience, everything went completely as I could have hoped. Quality design quickly and a pleasure to work with along the way.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire NUOVA Digital Agency, and what were your goals?

We needed web and graphic design for our project at a time when brand identity was still in discussion.

SOLUTION

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

Robert, from Nuova Digital, managed to delivery modern, good-looking design, but really amased me for having a logical explanation concerning user experience for every design decision he made.

Describe the engagement and overall scope of work in detail, including the stages of the partnership.

Our collaboration with Robert spans several months now. We alaways start with a design brief for the work we need to be done. Then Robert submits first drafts in Figma. After our feedback and required changes, Robert finishes the design to be implemented by IT.

I enjoy that each written feedback from us is followed up by Robert with a quicker or longer zoom meeting for better clarifications and ideas.

What were the terms and the value of the lease, and what percentage did NUOVA Digital Agency take in commission?

Nuova Digital is charging us per job to be done regarding our web and graphic design needs.

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

We worked with Robert, who is the founder and design lead of Nuova Digital.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the engagement or general feedback about the services?

Many people that see our website like the professional, sleek and clean look it has.

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

We send design brief documents by email, meet over zoom meetings, use Figma to see Nuova Digital work and give feedback and occasionally chat with Robert over whatsapp.

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

I liked that Robert has a very good eye for modern, clean design and that he thinks its design work starting from user interaction with our website.

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

We had a short misunderstanding laying between IT and design, regarding how design looks on a specific screen resolution. Maybe a better communication between Nuova and our IT guy was welcomed. But, Robert acted very friendly and helped us redesign for that screen resolution.
