Client Review on ML Design LI

Feedback:

First let me say that I’m a tech novice and that’s a kind self assessment - I know what apps are, use them daily but had no clue how many steps would be needed to create one or even how to begin. I had an idea but no knowledge how to make it something real. When I met with Josh and Keith at Designli I knew right away they were the ones to guide me through this project. Their unique “path” to a finished app is certainly a process I could understand and appreciate as a first time entrepreneur - one with zero experience in this space.The very first step - Solution Lab - was the best one though I will admit that I questioned the need for this upfront. I wanted to begin building right away from the “blueprint” in my brain - get started, save money.By far the best money I’ve spent so far; taking the time to walk through the concept, how I wanted the app to look and function gave us direction and let me know if what I wanted to do could even be done. Problems were solved that I didn’t even know were going to be problems, money was saved as different and more cost effective ways to build a feature were vetted. The idea became reality and we all could “see” what it would/could be versus what we hoped it might be. Defining user types and personas helped me understand how different users will interact with our app and design features in a way that benefits those users. This process allowed me to look at the app through the ultimate user’s eyes, not just mine.Keith and Josh will not move to the next step unless you’re pleased with the step you’re on now. Solutions Lab is absolutely necessary to the process - you wouldn’t build a house without blueprints, why would you build an app without a detailed set of plans?”
