OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What specific goals or objectives did you hire U1CORE to accomplish?

To be honest, we’d been in a bit of a rut before reaching out to U1CORE. We’d previously worked with individual UI designers who were talented and delivered solid work, but we struggled with consistency and long-term focus. These designers often couldn’t stay engaged for extended periods, leaving us with half-finished ideas and a growing backlog of unresolved UX/UI challenges. Our product serves a wide range of users, from large enterprises to small delivery and service businesses. The complexity of our use cases was a real sticking point—imagine trying to create a design that works for someone delivering packages to homes on behalf of a major corporation *and* for the end consumer. It was clear we needed a team that could not only understand these complexities but also streamline and modernize our entire UI while introducing innovative designs for new use cases. That’s where U1CORE came in.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

From the start, U1CORE approached our challenges with a methodical and thoughtful strategy. Their team began by diving deep into persona research. They reached out to real users, studied feedback from past interviews we’d conducted, and crafted a series of user personas tailored to our diverse audience. Every step was handled with precision, and they used Figma as their design tool of choice to bring their ideas to life.

As we moved forward, it became evident that some of our on-screen presentations were a bit overwhelming for users. U1CORE immediately stepped in with a brilliant suggestion: simplify. They redesigned our interfaces to convey information in a way that was not only visually appealing but also intuitive, ensuring our users could grasp key features without feeling overloaded. Their ability to balance aesthetics with functionality was nothing short of impressive.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Choosing U1CORE turned out to be one of the best decisions we’ve made. Their team brought so much energy and dedication to the table that it transformed the entire trajectory of our project. Not only did they thoroughly understand the complexities of our product, but they also enhanced it in ways we hadn’t considered. 

For instance, their storyboarding and feature design allowed us to present polished concepts to prospective clients with confidence. This approach wasn’t just about making our product look good—it directly impacted our bottom line by helping us close deals faster. The difference in our user experience was evident, and the positive feedback we’ve received from customers speaks volumes about U1CORE’s expertise.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

When it comes to project management, U1CORE set the bar high. They were incredibly responsive, often addressing our questions or concerns within hours. Every milestone was communicated clearly, and deadlines were consistently met without a hitch. It was refreshing to work with a team that prioritized transparency and collaboration as much as they did execution

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

 We already had a good understanding of our customers before U1CORE started working with us because we spend a considerable amount of time on user research. We explained our customers' needs and what we were able to offer them. They then created a product to fix the pain points they felt customers had. Figma and InVision were primarily used among these applications for this particular project.

We had all the requests; we had a spreadsheet filled with feature requests and use cases our customers needed in the product. We also wanted a feature that guided our customers on finding what they would like to capture and this was the most vague, not-Deklarative requirement we had.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Success was based on user feedback. Also not quantitative, but the kind of warmth we received from our audience was like something never seen before. We also compared their designs to what we had before and verified better results. As of now, the comments are pleasant; consumers have stated that the product looks delightful and has been impurity to a degree. Another customer told us they would be crazy not to do something with us after seeing what we put together.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

U1CORE excelled at project management. I liked how organized and ran it was. For the most part, design agencies could do design but not management As far as tools, we collaborated on Monday. We communicated mostly through Slack.

What was your primary form of communication with U1CORE?

Virtual Meeting

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

We put as much care into U1COREs principles and project management approach as we did the product itself. Well some, few enough to design good products in a short window of time and deliver on it as described.

Are there any areas for improvement or something U1CORE could have done differently?

No, none existed. So, prior to starting the job, I thought they were wildly overpriced but after 3 weeks of working with them, I totally got it — they were awesome and worth every penny.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What specific goals or objectives did you hire U1CORE to accomplish?
Our project kickstarted with a decent team of web developers and project managers, but what we lacked were design skills. That’s where U1CORE came in. We wanted them to take the lead on our site's shiny and responsive design — then, eventually, a mobile app. And here is details of how that partnership worked out. 
We had the technical know-how to execute a project but lacked the creative vision to differentiate our platform. We needed an expert or a group of experts that could create an esthetic and easy-to-use user interface, keeping the UX responsive across all devices.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

U1CORE came on board for the UI/UX design of our responsive website (in Figma). We provided a couple of references to get them going and user personas with their back stories. The team then jumped in to put together brand guidelines around a simple colour palette we gave them. They did all the tweaking — right from typefaces and final colors to arrangements of elements and logos.

U1CORE took it step further by taking not just the baseline requirements for a design package tailored to our development capabilities, but our lofty goals and delivered. They designed a mock-up for one page of the site while also making sure that this design could expand to other pages and platforms. An MVP iteration of the site was created, and it functioned beautifully on mobile as well, with new forays into mobile app design also in the planning stages.

It wasn't just about the visuals, however. User personas created by U1CORE provided great insights into the ways we expected different users to engage with our platform.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

From the start, U1CORE overwhlemed us with delivery. The designs were not simply nice to look at, the layouts made so much sense to our team. We had to change very little in their mock-ups due to a great instinct of what we wanted.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

We were really impressed with how seamless it all was. U1CORE provided us with choices at the front end, and they were quick to adapt to new modifications when we seamlessly merged aspects from different concepts. This speaks volumes about how they understood our vision because the entire team was on board with the end result.
U1CORE really shone on the project management side of things. They not only hit every deadline, but they also hit or exceeded expectations. Meetings started and ended on time — no senseless trotting up of minutes to fill in the agenda. For example, a four-hour meeting took only two because they didn't require more information to proceed.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

The most prominent aspects of U1CORE were its honesty and efficiency. They held the process and deadlines to a minimum, padded nothing. They adjust the budget and save us money faster than expected. Nobody in today’s market is that transparent.

Their ability to meet our individual requirements was a key factor in choosing them. Some companies follow their process strictly, while others can adjust according to our expertise — this was the case with U1CORE as well; they were diligent in their delivery, ensuring that no fluff is added, and we only received what we needed.

Are there any areas for improvement or something U1CORE could have done differently?

U1CORE was literally what we asked for and more. They were right regarding the designs, they had an on-it team, and their transparency brought trust with us. We also look forward to continuing to work with them on mobile apps. For a design team that is not only skilled but preferably dependable and that you can pivot quickly with, look no further than U1CORE.
