<div class="payload-richtext">Project summary:Shakuro redesigned a website as well as Android and iOS apps for a membership card company. Using Swift, they rebuilt the iOS app. They also updated the brand identity including the logo and color schemes.Feedback summary:Shakuro delivered satisfying brand collateral and a superior iOS app that received positive user feedback and improved rankings in the App Store. The team is accessible and flexible with schedules to meet critical deadlines. They offer extensive expertise that supports an ongoing partnership.Introduce your business and what you do there.I’m the founder and CEO of SELECT. We’re a membership card and mobile app that connects people with exclusive events, prices, and perks at over 1.6 million locations and online.What challenge were you trying to address with Shakuro?Our dated designs across our website and mobile applications were our primary challenges. We were in dire need of a design and brand refresh.</div>

<div class="payload-richtext">What was the scope of their involvement?Initially, Shakuro focused on design and branding. They created a new logo and color schemes. Then, their team redesigned both our iOS and Android mobile applications as well as our website. Once we got into the iOS designs, our lead developer and Shakuro recommended that we refresh the app. Their team redid our iOS app in Swift and manages monthly updates.What is the team composition?We have a main point of contact for design and a second main point of contact for iOS development. We’ve worked with probably 4–5 people in total.How did you come to work with Shakuro?I found them on a website where I looked into their work. On that website, they were ranked within the top 50 companies. They completed projects for high-end brands and created modern designs. That’s what made me decide to partner with them.How much have you invested with them?We’ve spent around $39,000 on their services.What is the status of this engagement?We started in June 2019 and our partnership’s ongoing. Their design work and the iOS project are complete, but they’re our go-to iOS development agency.</div>

SOLUTION

<div class="payload-richtext">What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?Our members loved the new iOS app. It looks and functions better. It’s seamless and rarely crashes. With our previous app, we got bad reviews on the App Store. Our ratings shot up in both the App Store from a 3.8 rating to a 4.8 rating. That’s a combination of Shakuro's designs as well as the quality of their development.They’re good critical thinkers, so if our existing logic didn’t make sense, they told us. Their team put a lot of time and energy into optimizing our platforms. Our customers also loved our new branding elements. We couldn’t be happier.How did Shakuro perform from a project management standpoint?Our main mode of communication’s Slack. We’re based in the US, so the time difference can be challenging. However, they’re always available in the mornings to coordinate details. Their team notifies us well in advance of their national holidays.They’ve stayed on deadlines. It was important for us to get the iOS app out by the end of the year. There were initial conversations that the deadline didn't look good. But they completed the project when we wanted it. Every time there’s a product that we want ahead, they hit our goal.What did you find most impressive about them?Shakuro has a clear focus on quality. Their design and branding work’s outstanding. They did a fantastic job with the iOS app. They’re an obvious stand out for design and branding services. There’s plenty of data and information to reference in support of that claim. Shakuro’s our go-to for design, branding, and iOS development. They’re also great at UX design.Are there any areas they could improve?No, I don’t think so. Anytime there’s an ongoing engagement, it can be tricky to synchronize timelines. In all honesty, they’ve met our deadlines every time. Their team’s willing to reprioritize, which is an advantage of being an ongoing customer.Any advice for potential customers?Give them your opinions and guidance but let them do their work. When we received the initial branding elements, we were surprised but loved them. Keep communication open as with any design and development relationship.</div>

<div class="payload-richtext">Project summary: Shakuro was hired to develop an eCommerce platform.Feedback summary:The client is seeing 80,000 users right now which has made them happy. They appreciate the casual partnership that the client and Shakuro have. Shakuro's team feels like it is a part of the client's team. Deadlines are met, and communication is clear.Introduce your business and what you do there.Cubebrush is an online marketplace. We’re a little bit like Etsy but for digital content for the game industry. I am the CEO [Chief Executive Officer].What challenge were you trying to address with Shakuro?I needed a team to develop everything. I had the idea but nothing else. I reached out to a couple of companies. Shakuro was the best case scenario. They had been in the business of game art for a long time. They were a really good option.</div>

<div class="payload-richtext">What was the scope of their involvement?I came to them with a very vague idea of what I wanted in the end. The idea was to make an eCommerce platform where people could open their store and show their content. We went back and forth multiple times. They would suggest ideas and eventually solidify the idea. I had a lot of different images on my site that I sent them, and they improved. It was more of a collaboration with them than me telling them what to do. As far as how the platform was built, I got what I wanted. I knew that their team was using Ruby, which was something I wanted. That was one of the main things that I wanted my developers to do, and they were doing that already, so that was a plus.How did you come to work with Shakuro?A big part of it was them previously having a very, very successful platform that all the artists in the industry used for their portfolio. Their name was out there and known. I contacted a bunch of others, and Shakuro offered the best price really. Their quote was unbeatable compared to the other companies.How much have you invested with Shakuro?We spent $300,000 to $400,000 in total over two years.What is the status of this engagement?We’re working together now. We started towards the end of 2014. I think it was October.</div>

<div class="payload-richtext">Could you share any evidence that would demonstrate the productivity, quality of work, or the impact of the engagement?The platform launched publicly in January 2016. We have about 80,000 users right now on the platform. It’s one of the big platforms in this industry where people can put all their content, so I guess it’s pretty successful from that standpoint.How did Shakuro perform from a project management standpoint?I wouldn’t be working with them if it wasn’t great. It’s been a very, very cool casual partnership that we’ve had. I’ve had the same guys working on my team since the beginning. It’s almost like they’re my employees, but they’re not. They’re [Shakuro] meeting the deadlines and communication is clear. I talk to them multiple times a day.What did you find most impressive about Shakuro?In the beginning, I wasn’t as experienced as a team leader. There was a lot of technology that I wasn’t sure that we should use. I have no serious complaints.</div>
