OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What specific goals or objectives did you hire Designli to accomplish?

• One primary goal Glassbury AI wanted Designli to accomplish was to bridge the gap between their innovative vision and a tangible, investor-ready product through interactive prototyping. Specifically, Glassbury AI sought to: Dismantle health inequities: The ultimate mission was to build an AI-driven, two-sided marketplace that ethically connects diverse patients to clinical trials. Establish technical feasibility: Using Designli’s "SolutionLab" (a two-week prototyping sprint), the goal was to validate the core features and UI/UX design before committing to full-scale development. Build investor confidence: By creating a high-fidelity, clickable simulation of the platform, Glassbury AI aimed to demonstrate the product's value to stakeholders and potential investors, proving the concept was viable and "real."

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm a consultant at a consulting company. However, I'm working as a program manager, advisor, and investor for our end client, WellBe Medical LLC.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Designli?

We needed help with design solutions and implementing a mobile app and website for our end client.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Designli is developing our end client's mobile app and website from scratch. We started with a discovery phase where we set high-level requirements, and Designli has been responsible for the UX/UI design and frontend development. They've built the app for Android and iOS, and it is a directory for medical practices. Designli has also been working on the backend of the registration pages.

We've worked with Enrique, the Product Manager; Keith, the CEO; a Project Manager; three developers: Angel, Diego, and Didier; Joshua, who was in charge of CX; and another person.

How did you come to work with Designli?

We found them through a Google search. We looked for companies that do medical mobile development. After narrowing it down to three, we ultimately selected them.

How much have you invested with them?

We've spent around $181,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We've been working together since August 2024, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The progress has been excellent. It's starting to look like a real app regarding features and functionalities.

How did Designli perform from a project management standpoint?

They're ahead of schedule and responsive. Designli delivers something every two weeks; we haven't encountered any bugs yet. They manage the project using Jira, but I'm not involved. We use Basecamp, emails, and Google Meet to communicate regularly on progress. They're always moving; when we haven't reacted quickly enough, they move on to something else.

Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?

Enrique, Angel, Diego, and Didier have stood out. They've answered our questions and been patient. They've been working with me the way I like to work, so it's been very good. Enrique is always polite, and I encourage him to talk with me instead of being a yes-man.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We've been impressed with their flexibility and responsiveness to our needs and feedback.

Are there any areas they could improve?

We could've handled the requirements better, such as digging deeper into what would be needed. The requirements I wrote up were very vague. However, we had a very full schedule, so we couldn't have gone much deeper than we did. We needed more guidance to elicit more requirements.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Be clear about what you want going in and communicate it. Don't be vague.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm the founder of a nonprofit.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Designli?

We needed a team to build a prototype of our app.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Designli has been developing the prototype of our app. The app is intended for both iOS and Android platforms. The team has also been creating the logo and the app's layout, including its colors and design. Moreover, they've been giving suggestions and working with me on the design.

At the beginning of the project, the team had brainstorming sessions to narrow down and prioritize the features we wanted. We've also walked through the features to see if we can make them work, and if the costs are within the budget. For example, something with a database or AI adoption might be a little more expensive, and they've clued us in on that.

Additionally, the team has been mindful of HIPAA issues. They haven't rendered an opinion either way, but they've aimed for it to be our front and center.

What is the team composition?

We've had Keith, Tyler, and our developer and designer. More people are behind the scenes, but I've only met with them over Zoom.

How did you come to work with Designli?

I found Designli through online searching. I did a good amount of research and saw the reviews on Clutch. I went back and researched more in detail; if I saw anything, I tried to trace it back. I interviewed 4–5 different companies, and Designli was head and shoulders above everybody else. Their responses and approach were head and shoulders above everybody else.

How much have you invested with them?

We've spent $13,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in September 2024, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Designli's work has been outstanding. Even when, on the few things where we've had a hiccup, if I've talked to Keith, he's been very responsive and taken care of it. There haven't been any bad surprises, only good surprises. The team has done everything they said they would, and I haven't been blindsided at any moment.

How did Designli perform from a project management standpoint?

Designli has been very responsive and on time. They've clarified what we're going to do at each moment. They've also clarified what we will work on with each session before our meetings. They've ensured that we know what we're working towards, identified what we need to do, and explained the decision process. Overall, the project management has been run effectively.

Moreover, the team has been very clear about the costs. There are no hidden costs, and they've been clear about what they'll do and the timeframe. There have been no surprises along the way, which I appreciate because it's super important when you're sticking to a budget.

Additionally, we've had access to everything throughout the engagement. We have progress visibility using Figma and Basecamp and communicate via Google Meet and Zoom.

Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?

Our designer and developer has been phenomenal. Additionally, Tyler has also been excellent, walking me through the initial phase and pointing out what I can expect. Lastly, Keith has also been outstanding. He's contacted me after the fact to make sure I'm satisfied.

Additionally, we've been trying to work through some things, and he's taken care of them. He has ensured we're pleased, we have everything ready, and our results are prepared the way we want. He's been very responsive every step of the way.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Designli has been great. They've been very responsive, and we've had access to everything. Also, Keith has said that they want us 100% happy and that they want us to be able to meet with our investors, which has been our goal from the beginning, and I appreciate that.

Are there any areas they could improve?

There's nothing they can do better. They've addressed everything immediately and haven't left anything to chance. They don't just leave our requests hanging out there. They actually take care of them. Keith has had phone calls with us and has taken care of it. We've had conversations about this, and he has followed up. They've addressed and changed what we've been concerned about. And so, I think there hasn't been anything they could have done better because they've addressed everything.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I wish I had the process written down with my notes before the meetings. I've shared some things but could have been more efficient with it.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the co-founder of Behind the Scenes, a new startup that will offer a journaling social media app called iScream. We're located in Kenya and are in the process of registering the company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Designli?

We needed a recognized company to help us develop our app's prototype to go to the next phase of the project, which is fundraising.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Designli helped us develop a prototype for our app. We decided to embark on their two-week solution lab, which consisted of two weeks of intense work to create our app's clickable prototype. The final product will be a web app, but Designli delivered a prototype for mobile. Our interaction with the team was mainly related to the features of the app and the prototype.

The technology behind the prototype is Figma and Node.js. The app was essentially a thought bank where users could stream their ideas and also approach and create communities based on their niche interests. The app had two sides: a space for personal journaling and a social media side. In addition, Designli also drafted the app's logo and visual identity based on its function, proposing ideas for the logo. 

What is the team composition?

We started working with two people, including Designli's CEO, Keith. Then we worked with a manager and the technical team, overall, 3-4 teammates, including Francisco, Raul, Daniel, and Jesus

How did you come to work with Designli?

We researched companies online. Designli caught our attention for many reasons, such as their portfolio and the two-week solution lab, which we found very convenient and interesting. We asked Designli for a quotation and started engaging with them. We liked their approach to clients and felt we were in safe hands.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent $13,800.

What is the status of this engagement?

We signed the agreement with Designli in August 2024 and started working with them in September 2024. The core of the work was compacted in two weeks, and we had some final meetings in the first week of October 2024.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We were amazed once we received the deliverables because Designli went the extra mile. The team adjusted some design elements according to our last comments. Designli delivered two prototypes: one for the main flow and the other for a specific feature of our app. We weren't expecting that because it was extra work, and the team delivered design files and UI screens.

Overall, Designli's work quality was efficient, focused, and meaningful. The team contributed to the prototype design and the app's idea. We had interesting and fruitful conversations. Designli's team was composed of young people and one senior person, offering a vibrant environment. We enjoyed our experience because of the teammates' different backgrounds.

How did Designli perform from a project management standpoint?

Designli was super efficient and worked according to the schedule. After each meeting, we had input and more material to revise in less than 24 hours. We had virtual meetings via Google Meet 2–3 times weekly and exchanged emails. We were given access to Figma to comment and add things and collaborated via Basecamp.

What did you find most impressive about them?

What made Designli stand out was their efficiency, creativity, and passion. The deliverables and outputs were of extremely high quality.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I can't think of anything for the team to improve.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I recommend Designli's two-week solution lab because it provides good value for money. You’ll end up with a valuable prototype that you can use for your next phase.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm the president of a defense contractor company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Designli?

We needed a team to walk us through the procedures and costs for a customizing app development project. 

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We've discussed our needs and the app's functionality with Designli. The team has asked clarifying questions to narrow down what they needed to know to develop our needs. We've had various calls over a couple of weeks, refining and defining all the things we needed. Designli has ultimately given us the plan and the breakdown of the app, including how it would look, what it would cost, and how long it would take to develop it if we moved forward.

Designli has the capacity to develop the app, but we haven't moved forward due to funding issues on our side. The app is a field-customizable warehousing application. Employees can create custom forms, checklists, and inspection processes and then complete those as necessary based on the job description.

We're still communicating with Designli to redefine some of the scope. The full custom solution is out of our price range, so we're talking to them about modifying some of the things we don't necessarily need and figuring out if we can find something that works within our budget.

What is the team composition?

We've worked with 5–6 people from Designli, including their CEO. Around four team members have worked on the design. 

How did you come to work with Designli?

One of our employees found them. He was tasked with finding a service provider and spoke to different groups, and Designli met our needs. 

How much have you invested with them?

We've spent around $13,000–$14,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in April 2023, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Designli has given us a plan that meets our goals as described. The work's quality meets our expectations.

How did Designli perform from a project management standpoint?

Designli is very organized and on top of things. Our communication is very effective and efficient via email and Google Meet and Zoom meetings. Designli has done everything we expect from a project management standpoint.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I've worked with different types of contractors, and Designli has been extremely communicative, open, and transparent with all questions and communications throughout the process. That was highly beneficial and appreciated.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I can't think of anything Designli can improve on; they've been good throughout the process.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Be as descriptive as possible. Designli is trying to give you what you need and want, and the only way they can do that is for you to be clear and descriptive. The team is good at asking questions to pull out the needed data because we had a hard time explaining it. What we do and what they do is different, and we were trying to translate our needs for them to understand. Designli is good at asking the right questions. 

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

Our company is BDV Solutions, and we use our immigration program to source foreign laborers for entry-level jobs in US companies. We sold a part of the company, but I’m still one of the owners of the remaining part.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Designli?

We wanted to design an app that would attract people around the world who are interested in immigrating to the US. To that end, we needed to determine whether the strategy we seek to use to achieve this is digitally viable. 

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Designli is helping us design the UI/UX of our app. Essentially, the app would help users determine the best visa strategy for their respective circumstances. Their team is working on the design framework and developing the proof of concept.

What is the team composition?

We usually work with five people from Designli, including an engineer, a UI/UX designer, and a data person. There’s also probably 2–3 more people helping out from their side.

How did you come to work with Designli?

I’m an investor in a local company that worked with Designli several times before. The founder of that company recommended them to me, saying that their team was very organized and straightforward to work with.

How much have you invested with them?

So far, we’ve invested around $10,000–$20,000 in this project. The overall project budget is probably around $500,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with Designli in June 2024, and our engagement is ongoing. We’re hoping to have a beta version of our app by the end of the year.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We don’t have specific metrics yet, but Designli’s work has met our expectations. We recently just finished the design phase and are now trying to determine if we can start implementing the design.

How did Designli perform from a project management standpoint?

They’ve delivered everything on time and within budget. In most instances, they’re the ones waiting for my feedback rather than me waiting on them. We’ve had in-person meetings with their team, but we mainly communicate through Microsoft Teams. For managing tasks, they use Bubble.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We’re most impressed with Designli’s responsiveness and timeliness.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I have no complaints about Designli at all. Everything’s been going the way they said it would.  

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs

Based on our experience, it would be helpful to make yourself and your team more available to them.
