Artkai

I’m the founder of a finance protocol. We’re a crypto project, and we have a platform where people can stake money and earn a yield on int in a gamified way.

We had an idea and very rough sketches that we had made internally, but we didn’t have a formal interface to start development. We hired Artkai to design our product’s UI and for development.

Artkai designed the UI/UX of our website, working with Figma and Miro boards. Although we had initially agreed to a three-month minimum commitment, we’ve now been working together for six months. After that initial phase, we decided to pull in some of their development resources to help us with the frontend development. They’ve been using React and a WordPress CMS.

We’ve been working with eight people from the Artkai team. This group includes a client success relationship manager, a project manager, a software architect, a head of product design, a junior product designer, and the rest are frontend developers specializing in React.

They were referred to us by a mutual friend who had worked with Artkai. We had an initial conversation with their business development team. Although we liked that conversation, we evaluated a couple of vendors and had 3–4 more meetings with Artkai before ultimately deciding to sign them.

We’ve spent between $90,000–$95,000.

We started working together around October 2021, and our engagement is ongoing.

Artkai has really helped us get from an idea to a tangible product. Initially, we signed off on a core scope for the design with a roadmap attached, and the team deviated less than 20%, which is fantastic and far better than what we’ve had with previous vendors. They’ve been very good at forecasting timelines and sticking to them within a reasonable range.

They’ve taken over the project management using Jira and Confluence. We also use Zoom and Slack for communication. The team has met their deadlines to a reasonable extent considering this is a technology project, and uncertainty is expected.

We really appreciate Artkai’s straightforward and focused communication approach. I haven’t had this level of communication in projects with previous vendors, so this is something that differentiates Artkai.

I don’t have anything concrete that I would have them improve. Although we’ve had 1–2 weeks with uncertainties due to the Russian Invasion, that’s a unique situation, and they’ve handled it well in the grand scheme of things.

Artkai helped from UI/UX design through architecture, build and release of a new set of mobile apps and a new web infratstructure as part of the modernization and convergence of several parallel applications.

Design plans, scope of work, delivery to schedule milestones, product completion, test coverage,

Once we jointly did a full analysis and plan previously unknown dependencies and issues were fleshed out, allowing us to develop an accurate timeline and manage risks. Artkai has always been extremely flexible to work with the needs of the project, the budgetary needs, and determine best course of action,

They are very proactive in ensuring they have the right resources to meet the solution goals and will swap as needed to get the right mix to meet the goals.

We could have spent better time upfront on how we were running our processes - that was a joint issue and was readily fixed once we identfiied issues.

Artkai performed an audit on 3 existing software applications whose features and functionality were to be developed in a new, single, integrated application. They wireframed the new application, incorporating the functionality in the original applications into a robust, easy-to-use application. They provided mockups of critical screens to communicate progress to stakeholders. At the end of the project, they provided a complete, usable design system in Figma for our developers to use in building the application.

We received wireframes and mockups for critical elements of the application, saving us hundreds of hours of labor and accelerating our development effort. The design system they built for us will allow us to streamline the development and maintenance of our software application.

Artkai was extremely well organized, focused and effective. They met deadlines and provided rigorously complete and thorough work products on schedule. When we requested changes in direction or additonal work products they were responsive, cooperative and productive.

Virtual Meeting

Their team members were very easy and pleasnt to work with. They were diligent, thorough, and responsive. They delivered what we asked for and what they promised on time and with attention to detail, which was truly impressive.

I do not have any suggestions for improvement. They were a first class organization staffed with dedicated, talented professionals who were flexible, accommodating and easy to work with.
