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

Spring Studio helped us design a customizable analytics dashboard feature for our customers. Thanks to their quick and comprehensive design work, we were able to build this new feature in 2 months. Some key deliverables included:

• Figma components for a hierarchical data widget system
• a redesigned app navigation UI
• UI components for customizable, sharable dashboards
• UX expertise on how to implement certain flows within our application

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The UI designs for our customizable dashboard feature were fully implemented in Figma to our specifications.

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

Spring Studio regularly (nearly-daily) checked in with status updates and iterative designs for us to give feedback to. Their unlimited revisions policy kept the design process seamless and continuous throughout the lifecycle of the project. The Spring Studio team were always prompt with a response in the Slack channel they set up for our team.

What was your primary form of communication with Spring Studio?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

Spring Studio's business model and onboarding process were two of the most impressive features of their offering. They have created a perfectly self-service, subscription-based design as a service that feels effortless to begin and maintain momentum. We have even copied several of their practices in our own company.

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

With the pace of Spring Studio's design development, it can be easy for certain designs to get lost in the torrent of output from their designers. It's a good problem to have, but a problem nonetheless. It would be nice for them to create a single "source-of-truth" checklist for all of the deliverables they've created so that no single designs get lost on their way to production.

SOLUTION

How did you find Spring Studio?

• The CEO at SpringStudio contacted me directly on LinkedIn

Why did you select Spring Studio over others?

• I wanted to try their free 7-day program and see what they were capable of achieving in that time frame.

What was the size of Spring Studio’s team?

2-5 Employees

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

Logo design for my online business called The Design Warrior. The scope of work included the understanding of my brand new online business that is targeting architects and construction professionals. The team at SpringStudio was capable of deeply understanding my business needs. 

They took the time to dive into the key concepts I wanted to communicate with my brand so they could come up with a logo design that made sense. The deliverables included a logo design in several digital formats for me to use on my website, social media, and other digital platforms. I was part of a free 7-day trial program where the team was able to craft a solution that met my expectations.

I now have an identity to start my online business and focus on providing valuable content for my audience. My experience overall was great. The Spring Studio team was always taking care of my needs in a structured way and with clear communication. A big thank you to all of the people involved in my logo design project.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The team was able to present several logo design options for me to choose from, in the 7-day trial period. In the end, they provided me with the final logo design in the formats I requested.

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

I felt comfortable communicating with them through Slack. They managed all the information in a timely manner and provided me with feedback in the same way. I liked the way they used Notion, Loom, and other software to make sure I gave all the information they needed to work on my logo design. I found their project management process to be organized and clear.

What was your primary form of communication with Spring Studio?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

They take the time to get to know their customers.

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

I think they should have a list of the final deliverables so the customer gets to know which digital products they will receive, especially for the free 7-day trial program.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the Founder of Maidily - scheduling software for cleaning businesses that was designed by Spring Studio.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

We hired them to design (wiring frames) Maidily (MVP) on Figma.

SOLUTION

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

I personally shopped around on Reddit/Google and found their portfolio - I loved their work and their approach.

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

They designed, on Figma, the entire MVP version of Maidily from scratch. We started with a discovery call in which I outlined what Maidily was and what type of customer profile it had. Our deliverables were based on the number of pages of software that needed a design and payment was split 50% upfront and 50% after designs were finished. We had a limited number of revisions available to us. I had weekly design check ins with them - specifically Tristan. It was an overall great experience! All assets were packaged up in Figma.

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

We communicated on Slack - that was preferred communication channel, I didn't mind, since that's what I was already using. I communicated directly with the owner, Tristan, but I believe there were 2-3 people put on this project from the agency.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Deliverables were executed and delivered in a timely manner. Communication about delays (sure, there were some) was done in a timely manner as well - I never minded it because I was prepared to have some hiccups along the way.

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

Communication as mentioned above was all done through Slack and weekly design reviews which I LOVED! Slack was easy enough to use - they don't charge extra money for time spent talking on Slack!

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

How close of a relationship they have with their customers and the communication style. Easy to work with, easy to talk to! Also - you can't beat their pricing! More affordable than anyone else we looked at.

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

The only thing I would recommend they improve on is less pushback on certain 'wants' on designs if the 'wants' aren't in line with best practices but are desired by us, the customer. Ultimately they still followed what we wanted - but there was enough push back to be deemed as wasted time.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the Founder & CEO of Elevated Life Coaching - its my personal life coaching brand. Elevated Life Coach take you through a journey of self discovery ultimately leading to you living your BEST life by unlocking the inner confidence in you.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

I had just launched my business after completing my life coaching certification and needed a website! Its a super key component for my industry because that's how customers can find me and book me for consultations. I wanted a website that speaks to the Elevated Life Coach brand - to elevate ones life! I love mountains and thought it would be the perfect inspiration - I also spoke to Tristan (the owner) about things I liked and didn't like, especially colors. It came out perfect! We had a few iterations and ultimately landed on the most beautiful coaching website (in my opinion) that perfectly captures my brand and vision and I couldn't be more excited!!

SOLUTION

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

I selected Spring Studio because of how personable Tristan was, the ease of communication, the pricing, and most importantly the quality of the work. Their designs look AWESOME! They didn't disappoint.

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

The process was great! We had an amazing 1st discover & connect call (that's what they call it) and we deep dove into what life coaching is, what aspects I was focusing on, what the customers (my clients) will be like and also the tone/vibe I wanted to portray. It was REALLY detailed...tons of productive detail came out of that call. It seemed like they really wanted to understanding what type of clients I was going to have and build something around for them to be comfortable on. They also put in place what to use for payment processing and scheduling! So the technologies they put together for me are Webflow which is what the website was built on Stripe for payment processing, and Calendly for scheduling calls. Super easy milestones - 3 bigs ones - starting, design check off, and development check off (launch).

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

I worked with 2 designers and 1 project manager via Slack - they are very responsive on Slack.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Launching soon (to the public) but I mean in terms of measurable deliverables - I did not have a website or brand styling or anything prior to this. Now I have an absolute beast of a website!!

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

They used Slack and it was great for communication - super easy to chat on there, super responsive. Timelines were all met, anything that went over was communicated prior and was completely understandable. Just super smooth and easy for me because this my working style!

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

The freaking eye for detail/design!! Incredible. Loved this entire process and was blown away. One thing that sticks out to me is that they push back on certain things for very logical reasons.

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

I'd say improving their onboarding process in terms of having a project dashboard where customers can track their build would be pretty cool!

We reached out to several app developers to find the perfect fit, and we felt Spring Studio seemed to grab our attention by far, as they specifically laid out all the services available. Tristan and Mony were extremely clear and concise about their capabilities, compared to the other vendors.

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

We had several discovery meetings. Tristan and Mony were extremely thorough and detailed oriented, which made the process so much easier, as they never left anything out when we had a change or new idea.They also has great suggestions for new developments within the apps functionality.

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

We were able to work directly with Tristan and Mony, who are the founders of the company.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The end result put our firm in the position to pitch our concept to VC firms for funding! Without them, this would have never happened.

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

They patiently walked us through each step of the process resulting in an incredible prototype of our concept.

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

Besides their vast knowledge in the tech industry, they are two great guys. I truly consider them friends now. I would HIGHLY recommend Spring Studio to anyone!

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

Couldn't have asked for anything better.
