Previous experience with ArtVersion

2-5 Employees

ArtVersion created a website for our organization. It started out as a straightforward model, but then got increasingly complex as we wanted to use new graphics, design elements, pull downs and so forth.

They were incredibly creative, patient and thoughtful. Everything was on time or early. They responded to all emails immediately. They spent long hours with us and our team on Zoom and are still answering our many questions as we enter the next phase of launching.

They were very understanding and helpful. Sometimes with design projects, the client's version isn't always what comes out. ArtVersion really listened to our needs and wants and then made suggestions that accommodated them. If they felt something was not such a great choice for us, however, then they shared that in a very helpful way and we always ended up with something that was better in the end.

No.

I am the Communications & Marketing Specialist for a nonprofit organization, which specializes in research and awareness about extremism across the ideological spectrum.

ArtVersion was hired to design and create a PDF for our extremist crowdfunding report, which detailed how extremists raise millions of dollars using online crowdfunding services.

Although we have an in-house design team, at the time we were planning to design this report, they were very busy with other projects, so we decided to look for outside vendors. ArtVersion came to us on a recommendation from our colleagues in another department who had worked with them in the past.

ArtVersion essentially conceptualized, designed and created the visual identity for this report from start to finish. They sent us multiple different design concepts based on our current brand standards, and we went through multiple rounds of back and forth with feedback and changes over the course of several weeks while the report was finalized.

I believe we worked with four people: one was the art director, one was an experience coordinator and two were graphic designers.

The report received multiple media hits and within the agency was considered one of the best looking PDFs we've released in a while.

Very effective. The ArtVersion team was very responsive to edits and implemented them effectively and immediately. They were also available after work hours the night before release for small changes.

My team really liked the fact that ArtVersion was able to take our existing brand standards and design them in new, exciting and very colorful ways. It was a nice change of pace from ADL's normal design philosophy.

My only suggestion would be to have some team members operate on East Coast time, if that's not practice already. Planning around the time difference was slightly difficult, but not overly so, and we managed to make it work.

I am the Director of Marketing at Evention, a cloud-based SAS company that creates accounting automation software. I hired and brought in ArtVersion to help with our overall Brand refresh.

Our word press site had been created over 15 years ago with multiple updates that did not follow a cohesive form. ArtVersion was hired to not only create a dynamic website with mobile optimization but to update our company logo, create complete iconography for us, and to help give us a total Brand refresh.

The work. Artversion has a stable of good clients and they have created great work for them. I reviewed and got submittals from 8 firms. They were not the cheapest or the most expensive, they were not the largest or the smallest, but they stood out with the design flow that I saw in their work. My largest criteria for selection was functionality and usability. I had to feel that the final product would be not only modern and have a great look, but that it would work the way we need it to and be saleable for future updates.

I was very impressed with the organization of the project. I kept adding to the needs and requirements and it was all absorbed without pain. After our awarding of the project and our initial briefing, they went to work on not creating an answer, but in creating the personality of our company and who we wanted to become. We gave them both our current and aspirational view of ourselves, and they created a vision that incorporated both views. After a couple of rounds of look and feels, we got to our winning design.

We were very fortunate to have all top level involvement. From the principal of the firm, to the executive designer to multiple designers and programmers. They even supplier a content developer and project manager. In all the team touching our product was massive...over a dozen people. But through it all, we had a constant primary contact, the executive design lead who was with us each step. And the involvement and leadership of Goran P., principal, was paramount.

Aside from winning awards for the design and usability of the site, which we are very proud of, we also used this as the lynch pin in our corporate Brand refresh. This involved our new style guide, which ArtVersion created, the new solution logos and the new positioning for the company. It is much easier to enact a new positioning if you can visualize it to the company.

The Evention team and the ArtVersion team worked very well together because of constant communication. They were available for frequent, usually quick turn-around meetings and updates. We were fortunate to have constant access to both our project manager and the Executive Design lead for this project. Being a former agency owner myself, I was impressed with their responsiveness and ability to pivot when required.

We came to ArtVersion with a vision and some ideas on where we wanted to go. They processed that and made it come to life without many hitches along the way. Their technological knowledge and leadership was truly required and appreciated. My mantra was that we wanted best practices, not necessarily cutting edge. They delivered a product that was a perfect blend. When a company takes the time to listen to a client, not only the words, but the intent of the words, that is a partner you want and want to stay with.

All projects of this magnitude have bumps in the road. The definer is how everyone handles the pivots. We had open discussions on many design details and they involved shared opinions. That is great....I love that. Overall, the flow was wonderful. The only thing I would have changed is that they held me more accountable for meeting my deadlines. It would have made the final weeks a bit easier. So...a little less nice ArtVersion!

I'm the owner of a preventive health company that provides travel health counseling, travel vaccinations and vaccine services to individual & corporate travel as well as large corporate on-site vaccine events.

We needed help in developing a preventive health website and creation of a digital infographic to assist with patient counseling. We hired ArtVersion to complete both of these projects with the goal of creating a descriptive, professional website that would attract new clients and to create an attractive digital interface that would enhance the health services we were offering our clients, specifically in the area of patient education.

We were looking for a local vendor that provided a personalized service to a firm our size and who had similar experience providing the type of solutions we were looking for. We were particularly interested in finding a firm that valued customer service to include face to face meetings and a genuine collaborative relationship. We read reviews of Artversion and it seemed that other clients felt that Artversion provided such personalized service.

We had several kick-off meetings to discuss the project. Ideas around the website were quickly and easily discovered and the Artversion team go to work on that quickly and, after several iterations, we were happy of the product and posted this site within 6 months. The digital infographic required more work for the IT team to appreciate the needs we had at the "bed side". The Artversion team spent a lot of time with us to understand the exact UI we were looking for and to ensure the finished product would be usable and functional in our environment.

We worked with the owner, the local lead producer, a project manager and, at times, the actual coders or people doing the digital work. Artversion was happy to include any team member they felt necessary to ensure our project was completed to our satisfaction.

We developed a very attractive website that helped guide us through the Pandemic years. We received very positive feedback about this site. The digital infographic was immediately well received by our local healthcare staff. This product was presented to our national parent and is now being rolled out to over 300 clinics nationwide ... so it was a resounding success. Most importantly, the product has enhanced patient education and our ability to prepare travelers for safe, international travel.

The Artversion team was available and responsive to us in between regularly scheduled appointments. The team created an initial timeline for the project and stuck to it. We primarily met them in person, as one of their offices is close to our office.

We were most impressed by the people we worked with, their genuine interest and passion in our project and their "can do" attitude in getting it done. To be honest, I did not expect that attitude from an IT company, I was expecting something more "stand offish" - but that was not our experience. The team's executive and project management staff were outstanding, and I would not hesitate to work with them again.

Not that I can think of.

I am the Director of Technology at a company that is a leading provider of safety benefits management solutions for the workplace. We uniquely solve companies’ PPE benefits management challenges by consolidating procurement and delivery of safety equipment (PPE) for employees under one unified platform.

We have a platform that has been very successful for our clients, but we wanted to take it to the next level. We offer a very unique service that is in high demand, and we were looking for a firm that could deliver on an updated design while also providing insight and solutions that were unique to our product.

After meeting with this team and seeing examples of their past projects, we decided on ArtVersion due to their skills, costs, responsiveness, and enthusiasm.

Once we decided to work with ArtVersion, we met with them on a weekly basis for the first half of the project. The first goal was to come up with a redesigned UI/UX layout and wireframe.

The Executive Director of Design was our main point of contact, but each meeting was also supported by their Art Director and UX Designer. On many occasions, their Creative Director also provided support. Toward the end of the project, we also engaged with a Full Stack Developer and a Brand Strategist. Behind the scenes there were additional designers and web developers.

It is too early to report on some aspects of these changes, but one thing that has come to fruition is the realization of a unique concept that we had envisioned many years ago that we now can provide for our clients.

We had weekly meetings via Zoom, but the team was very responsive via email and accommodating when additional face to face time was needed. Meetings were structured and timely, but also flexible enough to address new ideas that came up.

While they delivered us a great product and their skills are great, I feel what makes them stand out most is the team's enthusiasm to learn about our company and help us find solutions. Every team member always came to the table prepared and with ideas to share.

For this project everything went as planned. There was one misunderstanding regarding a design that we thought was in scope of the plan that wasn't, but they helped us understand and work towards a solution for it.
