Tribyl’s product is not your typical CRM. It’s a powerful platform that allows sales reps to leverage business intelligence across all parties involved in closing an enterprise deal. But it doesn’t stop there. Tribyl also uses machine learning algorithms to make smart recommendations to the sales reps on what to say, how to say, when to say and who to talk to for more insights. The main challenge for WANDR’s strategy and design team was to enable scalability without sacrificing consistency in the experience.We examine the existing flows for each feature and to gain insight into how they work together to help reps and account executives close deals. Once we started to work on the new modules, we had to conduct a UX Audit of what was in development in order to propose more usability improvements. We started by inventorizing the existing components to see what could be recycled and what needed to be designed from scratch to account for the new functionalities that were going to be created. Once we had a good idea of what we needed, we proceeded to design the new system with a modular approach. In Tribyl’s new system, every single piece of UI can be broken down into its most basic elements like a set of LEGO building blocks. We created a methodology to audit the visual aspects of the front-end code and to keep track of all the inconsistencies. Given the complexity of the product and the sheer number of features and moving parts, Tribyl has been one of our most challenging projects. It pushed us to come up with creative solutions to address usability and cognitive overload issues that we had not faced before and are certainly going to be very useful for the product design and SaaS communities. If you would like to learn more about how we solve enterprise grade design and usability problems, don’t hesitate to reach out.

THE CHALLENGE
Cut Sheet Labels was one of the very first Magento 2.0 sites ever built. While exciting, this was also a challenge, as SmartSites had to find immediate solutions to all problems that accompany new versions of a platform.

Internal challenges later presented themselves the new system did not operate on the .doc and .pdf files that the Cut Sheet team was used to.


THE PLAN

• Design and build one of the first ever Magento 2.0 sites.


• Custom code and design the ‘label customizer’ for a more user-friendly experience.


• Develop a creative SEO strategy for unique labels and categories.


• Write unique ad-copy for product descriptions

United Allergy Services chose to hire Nativz after David Boone, the CEO, had contracted the Nativz team prior to working at UAS. UAS is one of the largest, if not the largest, immunotherapy companies in the Southern United States. As the vast majority of Nativz work comes from referrals, this was a perfect client for our team. Nativz has since developed the highest-ranking Allergy / Immunotherapy website in the industry for organic SEO without a single dollar of PPC Ad Spend. Our main focus for this project was creating an extremely powerful and intuitive UX flow that segmented audiences into their own funnels. The UAS Team wanted to hit three main demographics: Providers, Allergy Sufferers, and those looking for a potential Career with UAS. Our team created a funnel system that "locked" the user into their own funnel to drive conversions with a menu structure dedicated to servicing each demo. We also developed a powerful piece of software called the Allergy Center Finder. This software requests the location of the user, then pings the UAS database of nearby locations to the user, and presents three close locations to the user's proximity that offers UAS services.VIEW THE PROJECT HERE: https://unitedallergyservices.com

For an engineering B2B firm, we generated content, created brand strategy, developed an entirely new company website, and produced social and PPC campaigns for the new high-converting material. THE CLIENT: California Energy Designs (“CED”) is an engineering firm providing system-design services and product deployment solutions, specializing in the development of HVAC, Plumbing, and Air-Quality Control Systems. The Company was positioned in the high-end segment of the market for its services, having earned a reputation for quality work and technical expertise. However, as their business straddled multiple different sub-sectors of the industry – including luxury residential estates (with clients like the Royal House of Saud), industrial facilities (clients including SpaceX, Boeing, & Cigna), and commercial developments – the company lacked a consistency and clarity in brand image, resulting in confusion for their clientele.

The ChallengeWith consumer expectations around the mobile shopping experience at an all-time high, senior management at SHEEX realized that the responsive website has various limitations and they need to redesign their website and offer better user experience to its customers (approx. 70%) who are shopping on their website from their phone.The SolutionInitially, we were exploring a native mobile app, but we realized that customers will have no incentive to download the app to make a purchase, at the same time we wanted to deliver an app-like user experience that was reliable, fast and engaging. Then, we proposed a mobile-first approach using Progressive Web App (PWA) and focus on design, speed and intuitive user experience to drive mobile conversion. We developed a PWA that provided better UX/UI and checkout experience that improved the conversion and customer satisfaction.The biggest challenge for us was to complete the UX research, auditing, design, develop, test and launch the PWA a week before the Black Friday. Because of our experience and the agile development methodology that we follow for such projects, we were able to launch the PWA on time and within the budget.

Our goal was to make the site more modern, creative, dynamic and at the same time well-structured and informative, with easy navigation.OUR DIGITAL SOLUTIONSWe took care of user-friendly and well-structured website navigation. Easy-to-read fonts with high color contrast were used to increase the accessibility of the website for users.To highlight the main sections and features of the site we used the Page scroll effect on the Home page.

Building a marketplace to help a plant seller disrupt its own 100-year-old business
Building a marketplace that connects buyers and suppliers on a single, price-transparent platform is a great idea — unless it’s competing with your wholesale business.
For over 100 years, the Fiore family has been supplying trees and shrubs to landscapers across the country. Their business, Fiore Nursery and Landscape Supply, operated on the standard wholesale model: they sourced the greenery from growers across the country, and buyers came to them to purchase all the plants they’d need for building sites, golf courses, even zoos. Now Lisa Fiore, the fourth generation of the Fiore Nurseries family, wanted to use all that industry knowledge to create an online marketplace that would disrupt the family’s original business — before someone else did. And she came to Table XI to do it.
The result is LandscapeHub, a web-based, responsive, two-sided marketplace platform built in Rails and React. To learn what we needed to build, we started with a Google Design Sprint, an Inception and a lot of user research to validate everyone’s ideas. Then we paired with LandscapeHub as it built out a technical team, teaching their new hires how we solved tricky data problems and built a marketplace strong enough to support future growth.
The MVP we launched attracted investor interest — enough to turn LandscapeHub into a fully-funded marketplace startup. And it’s self-reliant. We worked with LandscapeHub’s new developers and CTO to fully transition ownership of the product, so they can run with it without needing our help.

MOVE Bumpers started as a local custom truck bumper service in Lewistown, Montana in 2013 and quickly evolved into a nationwide, industry leading bumper distributor. To match their growing significance in the industry, MOVE needed an ecommerce website that could keep up with its tremendous growth and brand recognition.
In 2017 we launched a rebrand and a new MOVE Bumpers website, which includes the customized, interactive Bumper Kit Builder feature: a complete game-changer in the DIY bumper building experience.
Through audience research, we discovered that users respond better to a buying process that feels less like a transaction and more like an experience: the more interactive, visual and fun the better. The Bumper Kit Builder is an interactive online shopping experience that allows users to easily swap out different bumper styles and customizations on a sample truck rendering. As customers make selections, the sample truck and price update in real-time to reflect each customization. The site is also 100% mobile-friendly and mobile-compatible, which allows for easy use from any location.
Since the 2017 re-launch, MOVE Bumpers has seen a 70% increase in conversions during yearly holiday seasons, and a 10% increase in traffic overall.
The new site, which boasts a cleaner, more updated UI/UX, is not only more visually appealing but also far more user-friendly.
The new Bumper Kit Builder allows customers to fully envision their DIY bumper kits, giving them a realistic image of the bumper they will build, in addition to accurate pricing based on customizations.The new site is also completely mobile-friendly. Lastly, in addition to the Bumper Kit Builder, MOVE created engaging product detail pages for each bumper type, as well as launched a new product line — the Precision Series. For more details and to check out the total transformation, visit MOVE Bumpers.

“The team at Midas has been working with us for years, and continues to deliver results while keeping our costs down. They have implemented a data-driven approach to our marketing efforts, which is very important as a non-profit with a limited marketing budget.

Website Redesign
With programs and classes always changing at the YMCA, it’s easy to see how a staff change led to a website buried in old information. We were able to step in, redesign the site completely, build systems for easy information-swapping, and collaborate with the new marketing lead so she felt like this website was her very own.
Social Media Marketing
The Mid-Willamette Family YMCA in Albany, OR understood that social media was the way forward, but didn’t have a full-time marketing person on staff to even begin to explore the jungle. We stepped alongside and efficiently trained, led, and collaborated in a way that established the YMCA as a reach and engagement leader within in the community, particularly on Facebook.
Web Analytics
With the web redesign, Google Analytics was fully integrated into the website, with special attention given to the tour scheduling page that we created to provide a bridge between online engagement and physical sale of memberships. As the Y works to develop standard measurements for its closing and retention rates, we will soon know what the hard value of a scheduled tour is, and can build solid promotional strategies around that data.

The Tobacco Atlas has grown to become one of the leading resources on tobacco use and its impact on world health and is now in its sixth edition.
ServicesContent StrategyData VisualizationPrint Report DesignWebsite
IndustryNonprofitPublic HealthEducationResearch
ChallengeAfter five editions of consistently high-quality publications, the American Cancer Society and Vital Strategies sought to create a more readable and engaging experience for users perusing the Atlas. With loads of data and no clear hierarchy of where to look or go next, they wanted the Sixth Edition of the Tobacco Atlas to capitalize on interactive opportunities, have a stronger narrative, a unified visual language, and an easy-to-use digital system both for users and administrators.
SolutionOne of the main challenges with the previous print report was that it overwhelmed the readers with data and the content flow was cluttered. To fix this, we prioritized the creation of a narrative, using an illustrator to draw custom visuals for every chapter to connect the reader to the content. We also trimmed down the amount of data by prioritizing what needed to be in print and what could live online-only, and then designed clear invitations for the reader to find more on the website.
For the interactive version of the Tobacco Atlas, we took these same strong visual and narrative storytelling principles guiding the print design, and leveraged interactive elements and web best practices to create a digital resource. What were static maps in the print report are now dynamic data visualizations, and the illustrative components create a unique experience for the user. Through powerful calls to action (CTAs) and intentional UX design, we worked hard to better anticipate ways to keep the user on the site and engaged. The website is also translated into multiple languages, making it accessible to a broader audience.
