Partywave

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the co-founder of a boutique ad agency called Closing Media. We work with SaaS and tech startups to run their paid social and search ad campaigns.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Partywave?

Partywave has been a trusted parter for multiple design projects. With that said, they helped us take on a complete website redesign in 2021. They create thed theme and design from scratch, and worked with us through the build, implementation, and ongoing management and edits.

SOLUTION

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

We were hoping to find a parter that was talented in both design and execution, which we found in Partywave. Our website is the first place that prospective clients go when doing their research, and it's important that it's a clear, concise, and professional place to get more information about our services. In selecting a vendor, we prioritized design talent, communication, professionalism, and flexibility post-project for additional edits and questions. Partywave ended up being a 5/5 in all categories.

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

The project had 3 phases:

• Design
• execution
• hand-off

During the design process, Partywave helped us brainstorm a handful of different designs and themes for the website. They were not afraid to make big changes and take a few design risks, which made the brainstorm much more enjoyable and productive. Their ability to take different and big ideas, and consolidate them down into options that fit our business was extremely important in building the right website.

During the execution phase, Partywave was active in their communication and updates. They did plenty of research and analysis during design, so they were able to get to work without much back and forth. They were quick to respond to questions and concerns, and they stayed flexible when we changed our mind on a few elements of the site.

Finally, hand off and post-project edits also went off without a hitch. We had a few short educational calls to walk through the website platform and to enable our team to make small edits without re-engaging. And for a few more important changes (like additions to our inbound form & team info section), they were able to jump in and help even after handoff.

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

We were lucky to work with Partywave's founder and their first full time designer.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Internally, we were thrilled with the outcome. Visually, the website is exactly what we wanted. We've also been able to field inbound requests with zero issues since the new website went live. Our website isn't a huge part of our daily business, but it's important to that it's easy to understand, engaging, and enables easy contact for prospective clients. Partywave made sure all of this was prioritized.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Very effective. Partywave maintains a small team so we were confident that we were speaking directly to the project manager and designer whenever we made contact. There was no wasted back and forth.

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

The Partywave team provides world-class design while also prioritizing excellent execution and comms. It was difficult to find this combination of design talent and great operations. Partywave has both, which removes a lot of the stress as one of their clients.

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

We were extremely happy with our website and the speed and accuracy of Partywave's work. No suggestions or improvements from our end!
