Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m an independent art director and stylist. 

What challenge were you trying to address with Creomotus Designs?

In my line of work, I’m often helping clients with website content. We hired them to assist with web design. It was their job to make sure the design was visually appealing and attracted customers.

What was the scope of their involvement?

They start by getting an understanding of the consumer and making sure all of their design work aligns with that vision. We also collaborated on strategies to draw in the target audience and a wide variety of consumers. They catered to clients within the fashion e-commerce space, working on design and development.   

What is the team composition?

I had one main point of contact. 

How did you come to work with Creomotus Designs?

I found him through another art director. After narrowing down my search to two possible vendors, I chose them because they think about design from a consumer perspective. It was easy to have marketing and design conversations with them because of that. They understood the market and could fulfill client needs.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent about $5,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from February–July 2019.

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

They quickly and easily recognized the necessary requirements for the sites. One platform was very niche, with a specific client base. Despite that challenge, they did a great job of facilitating our path to achieving their needs.  

How did Creomotus Designs perform from a project management standpoint?

They were strong project managers, communicating over email. If there was a change or adjustment they had to make, they would deliver an update over email to minimize confusion. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

The entire company is motivated, pitching creative ideas whenever they have the chance. They use technology optimally to support their design skills. That makes me want to stick with them for future projects.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They’re highly motivated, so I don’t have any complaints. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Be open to their offerings because they have strong artistic sensibilities. Sometimes, they can provide solutions that you wouldn’t have come up with.
