The team also helped us with SEO.

We worked with two people, Fox (Founder) and an SEO resource.

How did you come to work with Studio Fox Design?

We invested $12,000.

We worked together from November 2020–January 2021. However, if there’s any revisions we feel need to happen, Studio Fox will be there to assist us through that.

As far as how we feel it’ll impact our business, we’re confident it will give us the ability to promote our products much more effectively than our previous website.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of Lastofseven.com, a gourmet food company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Studio Fox Design?

Studio Fox helped me develop my website.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

At the beginning of the engagement, Studio Fox helped me identify the right platform, Shopify. The team took my ideas on brand and served up good samples for me to choose from. We identified how to organize and present our different products and shipping options, which was a bit complex. I shared one of my major goals, which was that I wanted the site to load very quickly; I didn’t want there to be any lag time, so it would be a smooth experience for the customer.

From there, they built the site, which has about 10 pages and includes a blog. Since then, Studio Fox has trained me on how to use the site, which was really important to me. 

What is the team composition?

I worked mainly with Fox (Founder). Along the way, he brought in two or three other people for any specific questions I had. 

How did you come to work with Studio Fox Design?

I had an intern who researched website developers and conducted initial interviews. He brought me the final four vendors, and I interviewed them each and received their proposals. I selected Fox because I felt confident he would deliver what I wanted and not pressure me into taking on a bigger project than I was comfortable. He was very easy to work with, and it was a better fit than with anyone else.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from August–December 2020. The project is done, but Studio Fox is still available for any questions I might have.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? 

The site is live, but it’s password-protected right now since I haven’t launched my company. So far, we’ve run tests. The load speed is very fast and navigating from page to page is easy.

Throughout the project, the first milestone was the draft website, and I was really pleased with it. I was quite surprised with how carefully Studio Fox had listened to my branding ideas and extracted details from the general vision I gave. It was spot on. 

Studio Fox was also really helpful in connecting me with other vendors that were affordable. They connected me with a copyeditor, which was super helpful. 

I’m also very impressed with the fact that they trained me on how to edit the site. Instead of building it and making me dependent on them, they taught me how to do everything myself.

How did Studio Fox Design perform from a project management standpoint?

Our communication was great, they did a really good job. I’ve dealt with a lot of different businesses, and Studio Fox’s communication was one of the best. They mixed email and phone conversations perfectly. Fox was prepared on every call, and his response time was amazing. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

I can’t say enough about him. I’ve already recommended Studio Fox to friends who are starting a business. They’re the perfect vendor.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I can’t think of anything. Studio Fox communicated well and listened well. They didn’t pressure me to do anything I didn’t want to do, yet they often offered up different ideas. They delivered, they were approachable, and they have a strong network. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Feed Studio Fox as many thoughts as you have, even if they’re not well developed, because they’ll be able to reply back with a lot of different choices. Don’t be shy about providing underdeveloped ideas, because they can still move those forward.

We were looking to create a portal where multiple dealers could create a profile to access shared documents, place orders, and register warranty data.

SOLUTION

We started with an introductory call and I provided a scope of work. Then they created a mockup of the website. We looked at how my scope translated into the mockup and from there refined the platform. Then we had a third call to go over the changes before they went into development. Finally, they built the entire platform from scratch.

What is the team composition?

I worked primarily with Fox (Founder).

How did you come to work with Studio Fox Design?

I searched online and was interested in working with 5­–6 different providers. I chose Studio Fox design because their pricing was the best and their capabilities were in line with what I was looking to achieve.

What is the status of this engagement?

The project lasted from September–December 2020.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? 

Overall, I’m happy with the final product. By centralizing where my dealers and customers can pull data from, we’ve been able to reduce the amount of time salespeople spend speaking directly with dealers.

They’re reliable. I know when I speak to Fox, he’ll be able to take everything from there.

We’re trying to remove the invasive fish and then distribute them for different uses, whether that’s human consumption, fertilizer, or things like that.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Studio Fox Design?

We hired them to create our website.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Studio Fox Design designed our website. This is a new project, so we have very little information; despite how little we gave them to work with, he made the site very interesting. He added a video and background to the homepage to add some effects. He did a lot with what we gave him.

What is the team composition?

We just worked with one person.

How did you come to work with Studio Fox Design?

Our CEO recommended that we use him. I believe he found them online, because he had not yet used them either.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent less than $5,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

The project took place in June 2020. They launched the site in just a few days.

Since this is new and we’re definitely going to grow, we’ll probably continue using them. As of right now, it’s a complete and working website. I imagine we’ll have to be in touch in the future to update a lot of things.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Given the very quick turnaround time, we thought we’d get a site that was good enough for the time being; however, the site is great, and we’ve decided to keep it exactly as is. We were very impressed because we threw the project at him with very little information. We just asked for a small, nice-looking website with about three pages. He made it happen, with minimal direction and just a bit of text from us.

How did Studio Fox Design perform from a project management standpoint?

He was very efficient and professional. He took direction and listened to us. Also, if we needed something changed right away, he was very good about getting on top of that and doing things pretty immediately.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I haven’t personally worked with a lot of other web developers, but I was really impressed by how quickly they were able to think on their feet. When we asked him to complete the project within a couple of days, and we didn’t give him anything to go off of, he not only delivered a working website but also made it so that we want to keep it pretty much exactly as it is. He was quick to think with very little to go off of.

He was also very responsive when we needed last-minute things put in there. He was helpful in that he respected our deadlines and knew that we needed to have it up for a particular date.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, not based on this.

Any advice for potential customers?

Tell him what you want and give him your direction, whether that is very minimal direction or an exact idea. He will take whatever you say and make it look professional. Communicating with him is the biggest thing.

The other quotes I received were well beyond my budget, and now I know that my site could not have been better than the one Studio Fox Design built for me.

Are there any areas for improvement?

N/A. Great service. I will recommend them to friends as I know I'll definitely get a return on this modest investment.
