Catch&Release
Summary and Goals
LicenseNow is the fastest, safest way to license content directly on the internet. LicenseNow is a marketplace for content creators to connect with storytellers and buyers. The goal of our partnership with Catch&Release was to document the information architecture, create user flows (for both creators and buyers), and to build a landing page with a simple, modern design.
Challenge
LicenseNow is a net-new product for Catch&Release, with many user flows and transactions. Creators and buyers have separate, unique experiences. Our team was brought on to consult on the different experiences and needs of the two user groups and design a platform that’s easy and intuitive enough for first-time users to navigate and trust with their creative work. Because this is a new digital product, we also needed to ensure Catch&Release’s vision on branding and visual language is evident through our designs.
Outcome
We worked collaboratively with the LicenseNow team to outline the project roadmap, determine user needs, and interview key stakeholders. We also advised on IT implementation, engineering and development, system architecture, and scoping to help launch the product. Through regular meetings with the team, we created a workable prototype to put in front of the broader product team.
Results
We delivered high-fidelity designs for the LicenseNow onboarding flows, which will inform future rounds of testing and development in conjunction with the engineering team. This will allow Catch&Release to launch their product, grow their customer base, and continuously improve the platform.

Digicel
Summary & Goals
Digicel is partnering with us on an ongoing basis to lead the staffing and recruitment efforts of their product teams. As their corporation undergoes a major shift toward digitalization, Pixoul is helping to staff global teams across project management and product ownership disciplines. Our partnership is built around developing independent, high-value tech teams that will lead their next generation of mobile apps and commercialized products.
Challenges & Ongoing Work
Digicel is a global workforce provider, and came to us with a unique ask—build distributed, remote tech teams that can lead the implementation of several emerging application products. The team would need to be flexible, adaptable, tech-forward, and able to collaboratively work across timezones and cultural boundaries. Our continued work with Digicel includes sourcing for both full-time FTE employees, as well as 1099 contractors. In the former scenario, we're sourcing for candidates across disciplines for ideal culture-fit, while also serving as a payrolling service and third-party risk mitigation vendor in the latter scenario. Our recruitment team is sourcing candidates globally, brining each candidate through an in-depth screening process built around behavioral-based interviewing, skills tests, case-study challenges, and additional assessments.

Databuck
Summary & Goals
DataBuck is an autonomous data monitoring software developed by FirstEigen that automatically cleanses without any coding or rules writing. Using artificial intelligence and machine learning, the software can sense intricate changes in the data’s “DNA fingerprint” and automate 80% of the manual work of monitoring and validating the data. DataBuck autonomously sets thousands of validation checks without manual intervention. It’s 10x faster than any other tool or custom script and can validate an entire database or schema in just a few clicks. The initial goal of the partnership was to improve the overall UI/UX of the software and simplify the customer experience in preparation for the re:Invent AWS conference.
Challenge
DataBuck is an essential tool to FirstEigen’s customers as it helps them manage complex data at scale. It’s critical that DataBuck users can view and manage the most important data and be easily explore each outcome. They also need to be able to obtain results quickly and be able to understand the data they’re looking at in order to accurately report on it. Our goal was to design a simpler navigation to help users get what they want in the fewest clicks possible.
Outcome
Our team created a new UI with custom branding to help users flow through each data results page. Through customer feedback sessions, we designed new pages with a more intuitive hierarchy of information and a more user-friendly look and feel with brand colors, shading, fonts, and logos. Each new feature was designed in collaboration with the DataBuck team through frequent meetings to gather feedback.
Results
FirstEigen’s goal was to introduce a modern, cutting-edge product. Together, we created a fresh new design for DataBuck with research-backed results. With this first phase complete, our next project will be to organize additional customer feedback sessions to inspire additional enhancements.

HCP
Summary & Goals
Healthcare Compliance Pros (HCP) provides software and support that help organizations create, implement, maintain, and assess compliance programs. HCP supports the creation of a compliance program by running assessments to find areas of focus, selecting training based on organizations' needs and providing guidance through HCP compliance advisors. HCP implements the compliance program with an emphasis on automation, and maintains the program by continuously updating training, documents, and procedures. Our goal was to improve HCP’s offering by redesigning the product and streamlining processes.
Challenge
Due to the complexity of replacing an entire software program, we needed to ensure that the new software was scalable in both size and number of accounts and that the workflows were simplified and made consistent. Organizational compliance is a volatile industry—there are new regulations and guidelines published frequently and we needed to ensure that HCP’s software was built in a way to support this.
Outcome
Together with the HCP team, our design and development teams mapped out the minimum sellable product and divided the goal into epics, features, and user stories which we tackled on a sprint-by-sprint basis. We worked closely with HCP to ensure design and technical requirements for MSP were clearly defined and aligned with their vision. Progress made was communicated through bi-weekly demos and incorporating client feedback.
Results
With our minimum sellable product, we aim to create software which allows HCP to onboard accounts and account members as well as manage compliance training for those accounts. Accomplishing both of our tasks ultimately helped HCP save on costs associated with defects or issues due to shortcomings of their software, and reduced the number of incident reports to HCP’s customer service team.

For what projects/services did your company hire Pixoul?
We hired Pixoul to create a new product from the ground up.

The project started with a document describing the new product. The first stage was to take that document and create an information architecture. The next stage was low-fidelity wireframes.

In total we worked with 3 people, 1 was a project manager, 1 was a UX researcher and 1 was a designer.

the reviewer
the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the manager of talent acquisition and sourcing for a company that focuses on the reliability and maintenance of energized assets.
What challenge were you trying to address with Pixoul?
We needed to redo the UI of our customer-facing application since it wasn’t user-friendly. We hired Pixoul to find us a resource that could help out with our interface.
What was the scope of their involvement?
We hired an engineer to handle a lot of the coding on the backend, but we were at a point where we needed a developer to come in to fix the frontend. Pixoul provided us with a UI resource that had experience in using Angular and React to create a better interface for our candidates.
What is the team composition?
There are 11 people on the team and four people on the talent acquisition side.
How did you come to work with Pixoul?
I used to work with them for freelance projects, so I decided to partner with them for this project.
How much have you invested with them?
We’ve spent between $110,000–$130,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started in July 2021 and the partnership is ongoing.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
Their work has helped us cement a lot of candidates. I appreciate the volume that their work has provided.

UX/UI Testing & Design for Health & Wellness Tech Startup
"The quality of their work was higher than any other designer that we’ve worked with."
the reviewer
the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the founder and CEO of a tech startup in the health and wellness industry. We’ve developed a platform that streamlines the online consumer journey. Right now, we have CBD products, vitamin supplements, and more as a starting point, but we’re basically a one-stop shop solution to help consumers make more informed decisions when they’re researching and shopping online.
We’re now expanding it to turn into a platform that allows people to connect with holistic health and wellness professionals, and we’re in the midst of planning that.
What challenge were you trying to address with Pixoul?
We first started working with them for UI/UX research strategy and design. Our challenge was around learning what is the consumer behavior online and pain points.
What was the scope of their involvement?
Pixoul helped us with the research, testing, and design of our site. We had to get data around what was working and what wasn’t to make more strategic decisions and improve our product.
Initially, they facilitated a few in-person testing sessions. We had a set up with a couple of cameras, and we would watch people’s behaviors and record the screens — both desktop and mobile. Pixoul walked people through the interview script to get specific data, and then we would synthesize it and turn it into actionable items to iteratively improve our website.
After that, we worked with one of their UI/UX designers for product development work.
What is the team composition?
When the project was more engaged, we had 3–4 people. After the research strategy and testing, we had just one contractor at a time.
How did you come to work with Pixoul?
We were looking for large, more experienced UX firms. We happened to be in Dallas, and Devon (CEO & Founder) is based there. We had some in-person meetings, and it just seemed like they had the right experience and expertise to bring what we needed to the table.
How much have you invested with them?
Throughout our engagement, we spent close to $100,000. The larger amount was during those first few months when the team was completely engaged, and then we switched to the contractor set up, which was more of a monthly fee.
What is the status of this engagement?
We worked with them from June 2019–February 2021.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
We’ve had a lot of significant positive feedback on the improvement of our UI, and the UX on our site has improved progressively over the last year or two.
How did Pixoul perform from a project management standpoint?
We had them using all of our tools. The bulk of communication was through Slack, and we added them on Wrike, our project management tool, to have visibility on the tasks assigned to them.
What did you find most impressive about them?
First, they did a really good job with all the in-person testing and data gathering at the beginning of our engagement. In terms of organizing and executing an event like that, they stood out.
Now, comparing them to other independent UX designers, the quality of their work was higher than any other designer that we’ve worked with.
Are there any areas they could improve?
Not to take away from our very positive relationship, but the initial project was quite costly and I don’t know if we saw the full return on that.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Be clear in the requirements, goals, and KPIs tied to your project. Often, people just assume that they need to improve their UI/UX, but it’s a measurable thing. You have to tie the words you’re using with company goals and KPIs.
Secondly, know how you’re going to measure success or what success looks like so you can follow through and make sure you’re getting the most bang for your buck.

We were looking for developers within our timezone, with experience in visually presenting various data types. This developer had several past projects that met our requirements.

My team worked directly with Devon and two of his UI/UX team.
Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

the reviewer
the review
The client submitted this review online.
Please describe your company and your position there.
I am the CEO of a technology innovation services company in The Woodlands, TX
For what projects/services did your company hire Pixoul?
We needed a design company to help us design a compliance platform that our engineers could rapidly innovate from for a client. We hired Pixoul to focus on the UX/UI design and conduct research with users on the platform. Our goal was to build the platform that customers loved to use.
How did you select this vendor?
We scoured the internet for talented design companies and selected our top 3 based on their portfolio and reputation in the industry working with small business. After interviewing them, we chose Pixoul because we felt they really understood how we conduct business and would satisfy our client.
Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.
The design team conducted intensive research with platform users, gaining insightful feedback that most companies would miss. From there, they worked with our development team to generate iterative designs that tested our product ideas. They were instrumental in streamlining our iteration cycle and producing incredible prototypes that our engineers found useful and quick to implement.
How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
Our engineers worked directly with the Pixoul design team and our client's project manager to produce a continuous delivery of services.
Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
We love working with Pixoul and their amazing team of designers. The UX/UI work they performed accelerated our development cycles and produced tests the platform users are excited about. Their work impressed our client and left them wanting more technology innovation services.
How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?
With each sprint, our design and development teams increased velocity, focusing on the most important aspects of the platform. The continuous cycle of iteration between our engineers and Pixoul designers was crucial to the project success. With everyone working remotely, collaborative communication was critical to meeting deadlines and managing expectations.
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
The designers ability to translate user research into working designs amplified our engineering abilities to continuously deliver software that met client needs. The designers were open to feedback and increasingly agile in their delivery of prototypes.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
The challenges of remote teams presented communication misunderstandings in the early stages of the project. However, the entire product team was able to come together and improve this issue over time. Everyone was incredibly adaptable and capable of working with limited information at times. The only improvement would be to use this project to develop policies guiding remote teams in the future.

A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the owner and director of operations for Healthcare Compliance Pros. We do healthcare consulting.
What challenge were you trying to address with Pixoul?
We needed help improving the UX design on our web app.
What was the scope of their involvement?
Initially, they provided some new design elements, wireframes, and more to overhaul the UX/UI of the SaaS application.
Since then, they’ve conducted extensive user research, and competitor analysis for a new platform, before any code was written.
They are starting to build the infrastructure of our new platform using HTML5, among other technologies. They are using Azure Cloud for web services.
What is the team composition?
Devon (Entrepreneur) was my initial contact. He oversees a team of roughly five people daily, with another two developers working part-time.
How did you come to work with Pixoul?
I searched online, and vetted a few freelance agencies with a mini dashboarding project. We liked the relationship and work ethic we saw in Pixoul, as well as the direction they took with the mini-project.
How much have you invested with them?
We’ve spent between $200,000–$999,999.
What is the status of this engagement?
We began working together in July 2018, and our work with them is ongoing.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
We gather monthly feedback from our employees and some of our end users. Pixoul creates products that express our communicated desires and goals very well.
How did Pixoul perform from a project management standpoint?
They communicate well without overpromising anything. They are very collaborative, and proactive, which is great. They reach out to us to schedule meetings and give progress reports.
What did you find most impressive about them?
I like the flexibility they show, allowing us to be very hands-on and participate, while still taking over where needed. We’re on the same wavelength. Partners like them are hard to find, in my experience.
Are there any areas they could improve?
It’s hard to criticize them because I’ve had very bad experiences with other companies. However, if I am to be hypercritical, I would say their prices could be more competitive.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Be prepared, and be as specific as possible. However, don’t overthink. They bring a lot to the table and will help guide you along the way.
Pixoul brought an incredibly qualified candidate to the client. They made adjustments as required by going above and beyond what was required. The team also provides thorough and easy communication.
