Capable UI/UX Design team — happy with the end result

Ahmed Haddad / Director | Aug 16, 2026

Overall the project was a success, though it was not without some challenges. Their project manager kept things organised and was quick to flag anything that might affect the timeline. Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark. When we changed our minds on a couple of features halfway through, they handled it without fuss and were clear about the impact on cost and timeline.

Since launch, everything has been stable and our team has adapted to it quickly. A couple of milestones slipped by a week or so, mostly around testing. I would recommend Skein Agency to anyone looking for a dependable UI/UX Design partner.

Project summary

Skein Agency was brought in to redesign the user experience of our SaaS product. Their team handled planning, development and QA, with our product owner signing off each milestone. Overall it was a 4-month engagement.

Solid delivery, though timelines needed some pushing

Kelly Miller / Managing Director | Jul 27, 2026

We got a good result in the end, but the road there had a few bumps. When we changed our minds on a couple of features halfway through, they handled it without fuss and were clear about the impact on cost and timeline. The developers were knowledgeable and made a few suggestions that ended up saving us time and money.

We are already seeing better numbers than before the project. Estimates on a few features were optimistic and those took longer than planned. Happy to recommend them.

Great team to work with — professional, responsive and reliable

Kevin Hayes / Managing Director | Jul 04, 2026

Honestly, this was one of the smoothest projects we have run with an outside team.

Mark Nguyen / Co-Founder | May 07, 2026

Solid Software Development Work With Clear Communication Throughout

Khalid Haddad / Project Manager | Mar 05, 2026

Honestly, this was one of the smoothest projects we have run with an outside team. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later. The developers were knowledgeable and made a few suggestions that ended up saving us time and money. Their project manager kept things organised and was quick to flag anything that might affect the timeline.

The result looks great and performs well, and our internal team found it easy to take over.

Overall, a team we trust and plan to keep working with.
