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

We needed support with the creation of UI and UX design for a live streaming platform that will be deployed across mobile and web. We had some reference designs and some initial user testing and feedback that we supplied - and we asked Spaceberry to create a mindmap of the user flows, wireframe the UI, help us with the UX strategy and then design the final screens. 

Lastly, in collaboration with our product and development team, we refined the designs and made them ready for our development team to get started. Throughout the process, we had regular check ins with the team to discuss the progress, plans and any problems. Key Deliverables were - product mindmap, UI/UX strategy, UI/UX design, ongoing support, working with our product team.

Spaceberry Studio's project management is excellent. We set up weekly calls to discuss the project, deliverables and any questions they had. We also created a Slack channel, which included their whole team, as well as our product/dev team. This allowed for quick communication. I was extremely pleased with how quickly they grasped the product and the idea - so the designs started being created, iterated and finalised really quickly. They responded promptly to feedback and requests, and on many occasions were the ones prompting me to get work done!

Due to the good experiences in previous projects, we decided to work with Spaceberry Studio again in the areas of brand design and UX/UI. Communication has always been great and we will definitely continue the journey with the Spaceberry team.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We did not look for new agencies as we have worked with Spaceberry Studio on previous projects.

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

Our goal was a complete rebranding and an improved user experience on our B2B and B2C customer platforms. The platforms are primarily mobile applications with some functionality built as a web application and we are more than pleased with the result. After presenting our current applications, we went through our list of goals and created several milestones to achieve them.

The inputs from the UX/UI guys were really great and the design decisions were justified in a comprehensible manner. We were also satisfied with the communication and the step-by-step approach to the rebranding. We started with various sketches to see where we could go and made adjustments to get to the final design.

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

Most of the time we were in contact with the product manager. If there was a specific question about a design decision, bringing a team member into the meeting was no problem. The explanations were always to the point.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The results exceeded our expectations. We are now able to market our company as a modern yet people-centric brand, which is exactly what we wanted to achieve. All designs from logo to user interface are fully accessible on all screen sizes.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Communication was easy and took place on many channels from email to Slack to WhatsApp. Therefore, it was never a problem to set up a quick phone call and discuss ideas or get answers to our questions.

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

It was great to see that people care about our company as much as we do. All decisions were made according to our goals and corporate values. We also appreciated the ideas the team came up with on topics we had not thought of before. All in all, the easy communication and active thinking was a very good experience.

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

From our side there is no specific area that needs improvement and we can hardly imagine anyone finding a bad area.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the founder of a new health tech platform we are buiiding a state of the art web platform that encompasses blood, DNA tests with connected devices and skin analysis.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Spaceberry Studio?

We hired Spaceberry to work with us closely on the UX/UI side and to own this part of the implementation while working with a technical team. We wanted to create something very special and also maybe not seen before so we need to stretch the imagination further than maybe working with a UX/UI person who worked for the developer

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

I searched around clutch we had used some of the most expensive out there for the first part of the project but looking at Spaceberry work, I felt they could do something similar for a third of the price. Equally they had an individual who had experience in the medical field before.

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

We had already done the first part of the project with a previous vendor; however, at this point, we had one mockup of a dashboard and one page. Spaceberry took the project over, and the designer worked closely with me to build a web-based product, including many admin panels that are not seen. They have been involved in everything from the plumbing to the facade. More importantly, they have been highly agile and adaptable. They have also taken on the role of communicating directly with the developers and liaising with ourselves.

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

We have worked with the project manager Mila, and Tetiana, the leading designer, and continue to do so as they make our ideas a reality. Also included are a team of 10-12 from the development agency. A creative designer (branding) and tech lead. They are responsible for all the UX and UI design, turning the creative designers' work and my ideas into Figma.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

So far, so good the designs are being executed by the developers in react, some of the designs I would say we're pretty complex, but they have been able to understand and execute everything to date.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

We communicate on slack they are always available for a chat and huddle. It has been very symbiotic and iterative. They are willing to push back if they think an idea is bad but are also willing to accept and try new ideas.

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

Just their ability to understand what we are trying to do and quickly put these ideas in place. Nothing is too much trouble always available, and I come up with some very clever ideas; I have enjoyed working with them very much. They are hard-working and very reliable.

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

No, I have been thrilled with them. We plan to continue to work with them on this project and, hopefully, future iterations. I highly recommend them as a viable alternative to the expensive UK and USA brands.

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

We had introductory meetings to explain our project and share our vision. Then there was a preparation by the team and their estimates for the work flow in a map out. Before the start of the project we were given a detailed plan for it, and decided to go ahead. We then had several meeting throughout the project to add our input and see the progress, and it was smooth sailing to the final product.

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

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the project coordinator for a sports news website.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Spaceberry Studio?

Our aim was to reduce our bounce rate by improving both the UX and UI of the website, taking into account existing customers' needs that were already being addressed and not interrupting those after a revamp.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

I personally interviewed and tested over 110 designers with great portfolios through Behance. SpaceBerry was one of those and after full design tests, SpaceBerry single-handedly blew away all the competition they came up against by their sheer ability for UX/UI, compassion for users and clear knowledge of what readers want without compromising on quality or timelines.

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

The talented team at SpaceBerry took genuine interest in each stage of the customers' current and ideal journey then helped to optimise that with elegant yet simple solutions. Inside the first weeks we had full on designs to look at and revise. I supplied constant iterations based on my own team's feedback to experiment with and explore different directions, to which their designer Bogdan absolutely nailed 100% of the time with a professional and supportive attitude.

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

We worked predominantly mainly with their project coordinators Valerie and Mila at the beginning to secure the contracts and project needs, after which we met Bogdan - a hard-working and knowledgable designer like no other I've met before.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Thanks to Mila and Valerie's efficiency in communication and the aforementioned Bogdan who's skills are from another planet which we've had the gratitude of borrowing to increase customer traffic as a direct result of his contribution. There is simply no other agency or freelancer that we go to now besides the talented team at SpaceBerry and while the project was wrapped efficiently, we've requested to leave the channel open to have access to their team in the future.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

While my team communicated with SpaceBerry through myself via consolidated notes, communication has always been consistent, professional and responsive. Above all the workflow using Figma has been helpful to the project, never draining nor with any friction to the success of the project.

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

They truly do save time and money while adding value to a website. SpaceBerry create those elusive win-win scenarios we don't get with other agencies which is why we simply won't go to another agency any more. Of the dozens of studios I've worked with since our inception, SpaceBerry has been the only one that we've specially requested an open contract with after the end of a project because they really are that good and we will bring them in for every single future project for as long as they'll continue to take our business.

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

Hire more Bogdans.
