Highlights from Recent Projects
Sandstorm Design was contracted by an insurance-tech startup to overhaul their internal processes and client interaction system. The project involved the development of a web portal and rebranding the company. The web portal was designed for transparency, efficiency, and user-friendliness. The rebranding process included creating a new company name, colors, and logo. The project is ongoing with more features to be added to the portal. The MVP of the product is live and in its final testing phase. The client was impressed with Sandstorm Design's own branding and decided to hire them based on their reputation for doing right by their clients and growing their business.
In another project, Sandstorm Design worked with a financial technology startup to develop web and mobile applications and rebrand the company. The team conducted an initial discovery phase to determine project specifications and needs. They then developed brand concepts and created a suite of logos. One of the key projects was a software that automates business vetting processes with AI capabilities. The software was developed using Ruby, HTML, Javascript, PostgreSQL, and Gulp. Sandstorm Design also redesigned an existing prototype to make it user-friendly and scalable. The project started in May 2017 and is ongoing with an investment of around $500,000.
Sandstorm Design was hired by a credit union for a rebranding project and website development. The company needed a new name, slogan, and website as part of its rebranding. Sandstorm Design conducted surveys and interviews within the community to confirm the company's theory about the connection between its name and lack of customers. The team then developed a new name, brand, voice, and tone for the company. They also built a new website from scratch, creating a new logo and theme. The site was built on Drupal 8 and integrated the company's online banking system. The project ran from May 2014 to June 2015 and cost between $600,000 to $700,000. Sandstorm Design continues to provide site maintenance and is working on a second website for the company.
