UVIO

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the owner of a firm that provides financial planning and tax services.

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

No other designer I explored, and there were dozens, could deliver the product I envisioned or be interested in beyond the mass production of the same cookie cutter designs.

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

I knew of Uvio through the work they made in the past and their designs really stood out in the mass of contemporary websites. Ed from Uvio intuitively understood the UI, features and functionality I envisioned. Moreover, he made suggestions for impactful improvements. Uvio listens to their customers and prospects.

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

Uvio collected several samples of websites I considered as a baseline for my project. I wrote up which features to incorporate and which samples to use as a reference point for what I am trying to achieve in terms of delivering my tailored message to my customers. They researched the sample businesses to better understand what drew me and my niche to those samples. They offered a few meaningful modifications which helped me stand out from the crowd of similar firms. After 2-3 iterations and status discussions, I did the final review and submitted the tweaks to make. Once that was done in a few days, Uvio turned the site for hosting.

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

I worked with 2 individuals, the owner and project manager.

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

I don't track any metrics, but the website speaks very distinctly about me, my offerings, and my proposition.

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

The communication is very laid-back without creating an unnecessarily stressful environment. Always timely and proactive.

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

The care for the customers and the passion for the impeccable product is what makes Uvio shine and really stand out from the thousands of similar providers.

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

I do not demand 100% perfection from vendors. I'd say Uvio came at 97%-99%.

I'm a CEO of Popsters, it's a Social Media Content Analysis Tool.

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

The product (SaaS tool) UI came much more complex for users, and we had to do something to keep all abilities available, but make it useful and comfortable. So, the best way to do it was to make a fully redesign of the tool.

How did you select UVIO and what were the deciding factors?

We checked most popular examples of the work on the Dribbble by appropriate tags and found a UVIO team. We liked their job and decided to hire.

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

They designed a few various interface UX: some possible places to show content, different layouts accordingly to our current design and functions, and some additional wishes. After we chose a one certain layout, they started doing step-by-step features in UI.

At first they made on the first-look screen for the user. The next they designed a search form, search results and workflow for it, the main dashboard with the data and some useful features. We worked via Figma tool, and had a regular Skype-calls to discuss results and make some improvements.

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

I worked with two people - a project manager and a designer.

Our users are really happy with the new Popsters version. It came much more useful and easy to use. It looks better and works faster.

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

The Team work was great. They regularly provided updates and news about the project process. We communicated via Skype, email, Slack and Telegram.

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

I like the UVIO team can create a really good and beautiful interface for the users. It's very hard to find so nice company that can make fresh and modern design so fast.

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

I just recommend to keep some order and clean in the layers of the Figma :-)
