They have a great portfolio of projects and I know some of the people working there.

We started with a workshop with the client and after that we prepared estimation. Within the next few weeks, we had to deliver design and confront them with the marketing department of the client. From wireframes to high fidelity designs

I think that some flexibility :) They use the best practices on the market and it's good but in some cases, you need to break rules to achieve some goals of the client (deadlines, budgets etc).

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of an event ticketing platform. 

What challenge were you trying to address with Visux.pl - UX/UI Bar?

They’ve helped me over the years on a number of different design projects.

What was the scope of their involvement?

They’ve created my logo, made graphics, built UI elements, and done interface design for our platform. Our original logo had been created many years before, but they essentially started from scratch when they approached the project. At the time, we wanted to redefine our branding altogether.

They helped us pivot by completely redesigning the logo. On the UI side, they’ve taken on complex interface design. We’ve had them design back-end CRM interfaces as well as consumer-facing interfaces. I’m able to give them an open invitation to be creative with a concept or attack the problem with me through a design workshop. 

What is the team composition?

I worked with one main point of contact. He’s the founder of their company and has really become a friend to me over the course of our relationship. 

How did you come to work with Visux.pl - UX/UI Bar?

I worked previously with another company that I found on Clutch. The founder of this team used to work for that previous partner of mine. When he started his own company, we stayed in close contact and continued doing business together. 

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent $5,000–$10,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

I started working with him in 2017, and they’re still producing work for me.

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

I’m super happy with their work. They’re an enthusiastic team that creates great design work. We’ve grown a lot over the years, and they deserve some credit for that. 

How did Visux.pl - UX/UI Bar perform from a project management standpoint?

The founder of the company works alongside me, so it’s been amazing. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

They’re sincere, honest, and hardworking— we have similar values. I highly recommend working with them.

Are there any areas they could improve?

At one point, I wanted design asset management capabilities, but they didn’t have someone on the team who could offer it. It would be great if they could accommodate that now.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I’m a Head of Marketing of a software agency called Pagepro. We focus on mobile and web development.

For what projects/services did your company hire Visux.pl - UX/UI Bar?

We’ve hired Visux to design a landing page for a project called Open Kudos. Open Kudos is a Slack Bot that allows users to thank other users for their help or input instead of just saying “thank you”.

What were your goals for this project?

We wanted to quickly get an attractive design to implement it on our website in order to be able to advertise it better and show our clients our internal project portfolio.

How did you select this vendor?

Visux was recommended to us by friends that used their services a couple of times. We met and saw that we were on the same wavelength, so we decided to give them a try.

Describe the project in detail.

It was a landing page, showing all the essential features of Open Kudos bot. Nothing more, nothing less.

What was the team composition?

We worked with one designer.

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Thanks to the implementation of this landing page we began promoting our bot and quickly noticed an increase of the number of installations.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

It was practically flawless. We shared a brief with them, they delivered the concept we enjoyed and after our acceptance of the direction, they delivered the project in the estimated time.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

They are experienced so you don’t have to do a lot of explaining, they just feel what you need. They also delivered the project really fast and there was no need to make any corrections. Bang for your buck I’d say.

Are there any areas for improvement?

Nothing comes to my mind, the project was too simple and quick to notice anything that could’ve been better.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I’m a CEO of Visuality, a full-stack software development company that designs custom web and PWA applications in Ruby on Rails, Go and React. We work mainly with large ongoing projects for US-based companies.

For what projects/services did your company hire Visux.pl - UX/UI Bar?

We’ve hired Visux as an independent contractor in order to be able to deliver high-quality UI/UX design and branding complimentary to the software we design and produce for our clients. We also used Visux’s expertise to create completely new full branding, redesign our website, prepare promotion materials (brochures, leaflets, business cards, t-shirts). They also helped us to prepare UX/UI audits for our clients, as well as prepare marketing materials for them.

What were your goals for this project?

There were multiple projects. Visuality usually handles 4-5 software development projects at once and most of them require constant UI/UX work, design overhauls, improvements, new branding, design audits and much more. The goal for each project was usually the same though - improving conversion rates, introducing a proper, well-tested UX to the applications and focusing on solving business goals through UX/UI design.

How did you select this vendor?

We got recommendations from our former partners and designers that we should hire that team. We met and realized that we were a great match in terms of skill, experience, and values, so we run a trial project and after a successful deliver decided to sign a long-term contract.

Describe the project in detail.

As mentioned before, we didn’t hire Visux for just one project. They’ve become an essential partner of Visuality, hence they adopted a name corresponding to ours. Visux was usually starting with gathering clients’ expectations and reviewing the application we were taking-over in order to detect and propose changes that might positively affect the onboarding processes, traffic, and conversion. They were collaborating on that with our marketing department in order to deliver simple or thorough audits documents. After the proposal, a client was choosing the scenario they wanted to follow and Visux was first delivering the mockups, that after acceptation was followed by final designs with branding applied. The team always works with front-end developers on the proper implementation. In some cases, Visux was only auditing and advising the client, without design work

What was the team composition?

Visux so far is composed of 2 senior designers and 1 young designer.

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Outcomes can be seen in Visux’s portfolio and profiles like Behance or Dribble. Overall, Visux team is really good at improving the image, modernizing the look, creating easy onboarding for the users and most importantly improving the conversion for the client. In the case of Visuality’s website, we noticed a spike in the incoming inquiries and good overall clients’ feedback when we asked them about the experience while browsing our website.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

It was definitely effective. We set some ground rules at the beginning of our cooperation and throughout the time we worked out a communication model by applying all the best agile practices. Visux team is highly communicative, speaks good English and is always available when needed.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

They are highly skilled and they focus on helping to accomplish the business goals of the client. That approach is not common among the designers who usually just follow the trends without giving the project a deeper thought. Except for the professionalism they are fun to work with and easy-going. I can also say that their rates are very competitive if you look at the level of skill and commitment.

Are there any areas for improvement?

Initially, the audits were going pretty slow but in time the team learned how to accomplish them faster.
