The X Concept designed and built two separate websites, and provided company branding. Branding included the design and development of logos, banners, business cards, and other marketing materials.
SEO and the number of bookings have increased with the redesign and build of the two websites. The X Concept’s owner communicated with the team frequently and provided opportunities to learn new skills and help the company grow.
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this
client over the phone. Below is an edited
transcript.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I am the CEO and founder of two different businesses in Maui, Hawaii that have both used The X Concept: Aloha Bars Maui and Luxury Photo Mirror. The first is a mobile bar business, and the second a photo booth company.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with The X Concept?
I work directly with Charles (Owner, The X Concept), and we’ve used him for multiple projects including developing business logos and marketing material, rebuilding one website, building a second website from scratch, and now for site maintenance.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
In terms of logos and marketing materials, Charles helped design, develop, and order business cards, banners, pamphlets, and brochures. In 48 hours, he rebuilt and protected the website for Aloha Bars Maui, which had been hacked. Work for that and the second website included logos and banners, as well as developing a color scheme, and creating personalizations that would make us stand out, speak to our clientele, and provide SEO. He also helped me visually improve my proposals to increase business.
What is the team composition?
Through all of our projects, my team and I have worked directly with Charles.
How did you come to work with The X Concept?
My co-founder and Charles worked together in a completely different field where they did a lot of marketing together, so I came to know and work with him through that connection.
How much have you invested with them?
We’ve invested approximately $18,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We began working together September 2012 and the work is ongoing.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
Our websites are now one of the firsts to appear on business pages, and I have seen huge increases in my booking rate.
How did The X Concept perform from a project management standpoint?
There is a lot involved in website content development, and Charles made sure to stay in touch through multiple channels—email, Skype, Facebook messenger, FaceTime, and AnyDesk. With AnyDesk, we’re able to see what the other is doing, meaning that I can see how he’s making fixes to the website and learn from it.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Charles identifies what you need and responds quickly; he rebuilt our website in 48 hours. He helped us grow by pointing us in the right direction, teaching us, providing guidance, and then letting us work on our own where we could. That not only helped us develop as a company but also showed that he valued us and wasn’t taking advantage of us by billing us for work that we would be able to do.
Are there any areas they could improve?
No, we’re very happy with him.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
He can provide wonderful insight and direction, so listen to his advice.

THE X Concept has been a digital marketing partner for many years, managing the website, SEO, and email campaigns. Then, they helped evolve the website into an e-commerce site. The relationship is ongoing.
THE X Concept saw the opportunity for the business to benefit from an e-commerce site and used their expertise to help create one. Their steady partnership eased the transition, and their inclinations resulted in success. They deliver responsive customer service and help make technology accessible.
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this
client over the phone. Below is an edited
transcript.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
We train adults on soft skills like organization, management, and sales processes.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with THE X Concept?
When the company started up, we used classical marketing including regular mail, phone calls, and referrals. We determined that these methods hadn’t been working for years and needed to find something else. We had a website, but we hadn’t used it as we should have. Our business was going well, but not as well as it could have been, so we needed to try something.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
THE X Concept has helped us send email weekly campaigns, and they handle our SEO and Google analytics.
We hesitated to change our classic website to an e-commerce website. I wasn’t familiar with the e-commerce space, but THE X Concept told me that they had experience with it and urged me to try it. They said they would work closely with me on this challenge, and they would help me go further. They told us that we needed to try, even if we made a mistake.
An e-commerce website is unusual for our kind of business. It was a big challenge for us, given that the buyer of our product is not the one who will pay for it. We didn’t want to start an e-commerce website due to this issue, but we tried it. We’ve created an e-commerce website, and they help us manage the website.
We redesigned the website six months ago, changing the pictures and the content.
What is the team composition?
My sole contact is their founder. I don’t know what the size of their team is.
How did you come to work with THE X Concept?
I found them through a referral. Their founder lived in France before going to the U.S. for work.
How much have you invested with them?
We pay them €5,000 ($6,186 USD) per month or €60,000 ($74,237 USD) per year. We paid extra to create the e-commerce website.
What is the status of this engagement?
THE X Concept was hired more than 10 years ago before I started working for this company.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
They worked closely with me to transition to an e-commerce site as promised, and I appreciated this approach. It worked. I am really satisfied with the job they’ve done.
How did THE X Concept perform from a project management standpoint?
There’s a significant time difference, but we’ve managed communication properly, and they’ve been reactive. We’ve communicated by phone and web conferences, and I’ve sent callback requests by email if I couldn’t reach him. He’s responded to me in less than 24 hours, even if it was late for him or early in the morning. He’s been responsive to all my questions and provided professional advice. He wants his clients to take risks, and those risks are calculated based on experience.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Their reactivity is one of the important factors for me, given that the business moves fast.
They always give us explanations using simple terms. They’ve made the e-commerce business simple for us using words we can understand.
Are there any areas they could improve?
They’ve met all my needs, so it’s difficult to say what they could improve.
Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?
Clients should challenge them in the beginning. THE X Concept is a trustworthy company. They say what they do, and they do what they say. They are a small company, but they are really serious.
