Website Design for Diversity & Inclusion Company
"The combination of quality work and the price was perfect for me."
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 of a diversity solutions company.
What challenge were you trying to address with Tino Digital Agency?
I needed a partner to design and develop a website for my MVP.
What was the scope of their involvement?
Once we agreed to terms with Tino Digital Agency, their team lead a discovery period when they learned about the business as well as the goals and the project vision. When the discovery phase was done, we came up with a schedule for our work. Each phase of the project included a mockup and feedback opportunity. Then, their team made revisions and improvements to the platform. We finished with the delivery of the product. Phase one of the project was completed. There will be several follow up projects over the next 30–40 days because I'm a startup.
What is the team composition?
I was in contact with one person who worked with a team.
How did you come to work with Tino Digital Agency?
I interviewed them as well as a handful of other web design companies. Then, I selected Tino Digital Agency for their expertise and their work, which I was able to see on their website and Dribble.
How much have you invested with them?
I’ve spent $6,000 as of right now with the expectation that the cost will be between $10,000–$12,000 through my hard launch date.
What is the status of this engagement?
The project started in November 2018 and it wrapped up last week. The hard launch will be February 1st, 2020.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
I don’t have the site up yet, but from a founder’s standpoint, good talent is hard to find. For Tino Digital Agency, I was satisfied with the quality of work. Their team took my ideas and translated them into the website. My business premise is unique. I explained this to Tino Digital Agency: I envision this fictitious room of 50 people of different backgrounds, genders, and ethnicities. I pull up my website and in a split second, I have to convince all of them that this is the site for them so I needed a designer to create a website that appeals to the masses. Tino Digital Agency came through for me with a homepage that's a combination of animation, language, and images. So, I appreciate their hard work and diligence in creating that for me.
How did Tino Digital Agency perform from a project management standpoint?
They were responsive. Their team was always available and timely. We communicated mostly via email but we also did a couple of Zoom video conferences where we shared screens to make sure that we were on the same page or their team needed further insight from me. We were also in contact by phone from time to time.
What did you find most impressive about them?
The combination of quality work and the price was perfect for me. I’m a startup and on a limited budget, so I wanted to get the most bang for my buck.
Are there any areas they could improve?
No, nothing comes to mind immediately.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
If you go through the same process that I went through, you’ll be satisfied.

What were your goals for this project?
To have full prototype of the application, web-site and back-end.
How did you select this vendor?
We reviewed several designers' paltforms and choose several providers at Behance. Negotiated and choose TINO Agency due to their nice portfolio and appropriate for us approach.
Describe the project in detail.
Once we selected this vendor, we had a detailed interview where I described the concept and overall business process vision. We also set up the main goals and objectives. Very soon we got the first version of prototype that became the base for changes. The provider caught the idea very well and it was easy to correct and made changes in the UX process. At the UI stage I got 3 different design concepts, chose one and this stage had gone smoothly. During UI we recognized that some UX changes must be done. And the provider did it without any problem. Provider works quite quickly. All the delays are at our side
What was the team composition?
We have one project manager who supports us any time via e-mail, Telegram or phone. And we have one main developer that we contact with in case it’s needed. All communications are well organized by our project manager.

We showed the prototype of the S&D Application, web-site and back-end to our current clients & investors. And they all are very impressed and gave us good feedback. We've got financing and are ready to start IT development.
We also made some investigation among our small clients to clarify if it is attractive for them to have such and application that stores all their digited by S&D ideas (i.e. financial models). And 95% of them supported the idea and agreed with it.
How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?
The project manager that we connected with is very easy to communicate with and provides us timely updates. We connect over Telegram messenger for current issues, conduct Skype conferences several times to set up the goals & objectives, to clarify complicated business process. I’m really impressed by their feedback and suggestion how to improve or make more efficient the application.

For what projects/services did your company hire Tino Digital Agency?
Through my years of experience I accumulated a client base in various fields, meditation, healing, yoga, massage. It was important to narrow down to an area of expertise that will be clear and successful.
We started with branding, proceeded to online marketing strategy, and finished with creating the website that will support my business goals.

As a result, I wanted to have a well structured business concept with a strong online Identity. Moreover, another important outcome was to receive a guideline to follow that would help me build an online community using effective and not time consuming methods.

Tino Digital Agency came highly recommended by my friend who is a business owner as well. Additionally, it was important for me to work with someone who understands the work that I do, and I was looking for an agency that have experience working with meditation and healing professionals.
Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.
They created a brand, digital marketing strategy, and a website. We started with branding. After I answered a series of questions, Tino Digital team prepared mission, client profiles, logo, and business cards.
Then, we crafted a digital marketing strategy. The approach was chosen after the first session. Project manager asked me a series of questions again, and together, we decided on the best way to proceed. We settled on a series of 10 weekly meetings during which we discussed and brainstormed solutions.
The last step was to create a website that would serve my business goals. Their team started with crafting the design and I focused on writing the content for the site.
I was given a list of the keywords, which were identified during the marketing strategy stage, to use that would help the SEO. After the design was approved and the content prepared the developer created the website and we went live.
What was the team composition?
Throughout the project I communicated with project manager, Anastasia, who was on top of all communications. Senior designer and a designer were working on the online brand for the school and the website design. Later, developer created the website.
Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?
My business came to life in better ways that I could have imagined. It was noticed by the community of meditation and healing teachers.
Online community, that we envisioned, targets high-quality participants and has a restrictive entry, already has over 400 active participants. It is a valuable source of clients and also joy, to share and communicate with like minded people.
How was project management arranged and how effective was it?
The project was structured in stages. For each stage we had a first meeting during which all schedule was laid out and expectations.
We had a meeting for each milestone and I provided feedback. I knew what the team is working on and when to expect the next deliverable.
What did you find most impressive about this company?
I appreciated the effective communication. Continuously, I noticed that I was being heard. Moreover, I feel like it was a great value for the price.

How did you select this vendor?
Tino Digital Agency came highly recommended by one of our clients.

The project had three independent elements. First, they designed a logo to satisfy our requirements. Then they built a website to serve as a primary point of contact and advertisement of our services. Lastly, they created a PowerPoint pitch deck to use during investor meetings and conference talks.

We mostly stayed in touch with our project manager, but there were at least two designers and a software developer.

I honestly lack the words to describe how outstanding our project manager was. She listened carefully and followed all our channels to understand every detail of our conflicting requirements. She perfectly translated our ideas and resolved every small comment we made.

I was impressed by their professional management and customer service skills. They cared about their work, instead of finishing it as fast as possible to make a quick buck.

In the beginning, the estimated timeline and price were much more than I expected. Closer to the delivery date, I understood why. Amazing work takes time, and it was actually cheap considering the quality. I wish that was clear to me from the start.
