Working with Designli has been one of the best agency experiences I've had. Timely, creative, communicative, patient, diligent. They were so easy to work with, but more importantly, they fully understood our goals and came to the table with thoughtful questions and meaningful results. We finished our project under budget, and they delivered a product that our entire organization loved. Using tools like Figma, they were able to create a working prototype that our in-house development team could transpose without any issue. We would highly recommend Designli to any organization looking to take its app and user experience to the next level.July 20, 2022

Overall Experience: As a non-technical 'solopreneur', working with the Designli team for the Solution Lab has been everything that I hoped it would be. The team listened to my vision for the product and functionality and then assisted me in identifying which features and functionality were truly core to the initial MVP (vs. what could wait for an eventual v2 iteration). Along the way, Keith and Josh (Designli co-founders) provided me with great perspective on all options and recommendations for various technologies that we could utilize in order to accomplish my development goals, while taking my budget into consideration. All of these details were then thoroughly documented and provided to me in a way that I can leverage for other future purposes, such as raising outside capital. I highly recommend Designli's Solution Lab if you're an entrepreneur at the idea stage and think that you may benefit from expert assistance in the framing up and documentation of the core features and tech stack needed to turn your vision to reality.

Overall Experience: Our startup team completed a rigorous assessment of over 10 different development agencies across the globe, we interviewed about 6, and landed on a #1: Designli. The qualities that we found most attractive about Designli in our partner evaluation shined through in our SolutionLab engagement: they were upfront and transparent about the process, brought deep technical knowledge complemented by their own startup experience, asked us thoughtful questions and brought up important considerations, and were highly collaborative and fun to work with throughout the process. Our team was highly impressed with the thoroughness and quality of the SolutionLab deliverables, and it was so cool to see our ideas echoed back at us from the UX and technical delivery angle. At the end of our SolutionLab we felt highly confident that Designli was aligned with our product vision and company goals and that we chose the best development agency to partner with as we work to launch our company.

Overall Experience: My wife and I have partnered with Designli numerous times over the past 6+ years and they've always been so incredible to work with. From their communication and professionalism to their design and development, they've always exceeded our expectations. Designli’s team is not only highly skilled, but also incredibly reliable. Their dedication to providing top-notch services is evident in the quality of their work and their attention to detail. But ultimately, what sets Designli apart is their ability to understand their clients' needs and translate them into effective and innovative solutions. Seriously, I can't recommend them enough!

Overall Experience: We met with several different development companies as we were searching for someone to help us launch our product. One of the driving factors behind our decision to go with Designli was their unique and creative approach to understanding the ins/outs of our idea using SolutionLab. SolutionLab allowed us to think through and answer all the questions about our product, and even talk through things we had previously not discussed. During the process, we were able to truly define what we were attempting to bring to market. The team at Designli took this information and immediately began working to create a 1st class product. The Designli team explained everything to us in terms that we were able to fully comprehend, which allowed us to move to next steps more efficiently. SolutionLab was an invaluable process for our business.

Overall Experience: Designli is a top tier design firm. When I wanted to get brand identity work done I struggled to find a company that really could embody the feel I wanted for my brand. Designli not only captured the exact impression I wanted to give but actually exceeded my expectations on the overall package! I would highly recommend these guys for any project you may be pursuing and want to look good!

Overall Experience: Working with Katie, Designli's business Analyst has been a pleasure, I had a couple meetings with her while working through their process of what they call their solutions lab. Here I told them what my requirements, needs & functions I thought I wanted. We went back and forth to understand what was possible to develop. Originally we were going to use a program called flutter, but with a series of steps, trial and error on paper, we ended up going with a custom coded website using Angular and Node.js languages. We have a much better understanding of are needs based on what was uncovered in the solutions lab. And now we can make the necessary changes for version 1, without the expense & disappointment of making an inadequate website that wouldn't have fitted our needs. I also thought Katie made a very nice presentation to show investors.

Overall Experience: The SolutionLab process was something I initially thought of as a second reference point to understanding the technological side of my project. Receiving external viewpoints and input regarding the concept from Keith and Josh was my main focus when undertaking the process. However, the entire process allowed me to better understand how to adapt YieldTrade.io into a more streamlined company that can compete within the field. Ultimately, the SolutionLab process helped identify how the business would operate and gave a clear picture of the next steps as we moved forward in development.
