Baunfire

I'm the marketing lead at an equipment and intralogistics company in the material handling space. We deal with everything within a warehouse, including forklifts and racking.

We were doing a complete overhaul of our website. We recently rebranded our company in 2023 from just selling equipment to intralogistics and full warehousing.

Baunfire helped us complete the overhaul of our website. The team designed 3–4 different templates and mocked an e-commerce experience, which we didn't have before. The team integrated our new branding. Baunfire was also responsible for developing the site from the ground up using WordPress. I only provided the imagery and copy, and the team provided guidance.

I was in contact with 3–4 teammates, including Natalie (Senior Project Manager), a design manager, and a technical director. I'm sure there were more people behind the scenes during development.

We found Baunfire on Clutch. We interviewed different vendors and selected Baunfire because they had great reviews on Clutch. We also loved Baunfire's design style. The team was willing to work with us on the price point and had the capabilities we were looking for.

We spent $68,000.

We worked with Baunfire from March–August 2024. The team has completed our site, and we're sticking with Baunfire for ongoing website support and maintenance. We're also exploring having Baunfire redo some of our other branded templates, including templates in Microsoft PowerPoint.

Looking at our Google Analytics and backend, we had a spike in views of 20% and about 15% more active users. We haven't even fully announced the website publicly yet, but it's already getting a bunch of traction. Additionally, thanks to our new e-commerce, users can browse our offerings much easier. Baunfire delivered on our expectations and more.

Natalie was my point of contact, and she was wonderful.

Baunfire took the time to understand us as a business and our competition. The team set us apart in our industry in how they designed and laid out our site. Baunfire's organization helped me as a marketing professional in putting everything together, and I'll utilize how they organized tasks within our company because it was awesome. The process was easy, and Baunfire's price was more than fair based on what we asked from them.

I can't think of anything Baunfire could improve—they went above our expectations.

I suggest asking anything because Baunfire can probably make your dreams come true. Anything you can think of, the team can probably find a way to make it happen on your site. Lean into Baunfire's direction because they know how to compel a user within the flow of your site. Be open to the team's suggestions, and don't be afraid to ask for things you want.

I'm the senior B2B creative strategy lead at Rent.

We needed support to design and develop our new website, as well as additional support for copywriting, SEO, and other technical aspects. We wanted more flexibility in the site's design and the ability to edit and modify things on our side. We also wanted to use the site to generate more business leads for our sales team and establish ourselves as a thought leader by having rich and robust resources, including a blog, video guides, and other content.

Baunfire has used Figma for the UI/UX design, approvals, and feedback. The team has also used Webflow to build the site and Pastel as a QA tool, and we can leave comments and feedback on their pre-built website. In addition, Baunfire uses Google Slides to share presentations.

We’ve worked with many team members from Baunfire. Juan (Founder) first worked with us on scoping and contracting, and Jessica (Senior Project Manager) has guided all aspects of the project and communicated with us. We've also worked with a technology director on the technical aspects of our content and data and migrated things to our new site. Catherine (Creative Director) works on web design and has developed the initial concepts. Annping (Creative Director) is another design lead who has followed up on the site's design after we confirmed which direction we wanted to go. Nicole (Director, Marketing Strategy) has worked on content and getting the team aligned regarding copy and messaging. Robin (Content Strategist) also works on content from the SEO aspect, and more teammates work on the site's backend and QA, although I don't interact directly with them.

We've spent $138,000.

We've been working with Baunfire since February 2024, and the site is mostly completed. The team is releasing a few more pages next week, and considering the scope, the project should be mostly complete.

Baunfire is working through a few bugs and ensuring Google Analytics is tracking correctly. Our CMO had a defined vision of what she wanted, and Baunfire has met her expectations with the site's design rationale and strategy. The team reviewed our goals and branding and studied our previous work to deliver a logical extension of what we were already doing, pushing us forward. Baunfire has done a fantastic job, from research to strategy.

Jessica has been instrumental in keeping work moving, keeping us in the loop, and pushing work ahead.

Baunfire has a quick turnaround time.

The positive aspects outweigh the negatives. Some pieces of the project have been a bit difficult to understand, like how we were supposed to fill in the content. However, these issues have been caused by our condensed timeline, which has caused certain deliverables to overlap, and it's not really Baunfire's fault. The team has helped us navigate the project as best they could with the time we had. However, this isn't really negative feedback since I think this wouldn't have happened under regular circumstances.

I recommend ensuring you have ample time to build a website. A lot of people think building a site is easy. However, not only do you need to have enough time for Baunfire to get through their process, but you also need to allow yourself time to write content and source branded imagery the team will need from your end. Another task will involve your legal team to quality check the site's content and for your team to review the design.If you have a medium to large-sized website, things can get pretty grueling. Allow yourself enough time to review every aspect of the site and ensure it's fully aligned with your brand and vision; this includes the copy and imagery. Building a site is a big and expensive project, and your site is a big marketing piece and the biggest hub you have for your information online, so it's important to get it right.

I’m the managing partner of Silverman Theologou LLP, a law firm.

Our existing website was outdated and had been haphazardly designed over the years. We wanted to update the site, give it a more contemporary look, and showcase some of our firm’s services.

Baunfire redesigned our website. First, we met to discuss the changes to the site. Baunfire assigned a project manager to us, and they went page by page with me to discuss what we wanted and needed to change on the site. We discussed how to change the site’s home page and ancillary pages.

I primarily worked with Natalie (Senior Project Manager), though I also saw the names of 3–4 Baunfire teammates involved in the project, including designers and writers.

We spent about $20,000 on the whole project, including the website design and marketing materials.

A company we were working with on a consulting project gave us Baunfire’s name. We called the team in December 2023 and let them know we wanted to refresh our site’s design. We wanted to understand what Baunfire could do for us and their vision for the site. I met with Juan (Founder) and really liked what he had to say about what our site’s changes would look like and why we needed to make them. Although we met with other companies, we ultimately decided to hire Baunfire for the project.

The project lasted from January–April 2024.

Baunfire had a lot of great ideas about how to change the website. I gave Juan a vision of what I wanted to see, including examples of what I was looking for in a website, and he ensured that the Baunfire team understood that.

The process involved me dealing directly with the project manager. We worked with Baunfire regularly, revising various options and making changes until they completed every piece of the site.

Natalie was amazing and patient. I’ve been an attorney for 30–40 years and had concrete ideas of what I wanted, down to comma and period placements. Natalie worked with me very meticulously to meet my requirements.

Baunfire’s great design ideas were a differentiator. The team was able to make the site look clean and original in a way that fit our company. Baunfire really listened to me and didn’t offer a cookie-cutter design that looked the same for another 20 clients. Therefore, they met my requirements while providing original ideas that I never would have considered and ended up loving.

There was nothing they needed to improve.

Be clear in your ideas and wants before you go to Baunfire, have examples of what you want, and stay on top of the project manager and project. You don’t want the team to send an email asking for feedback and get back to them three weeks later. The project slows down when you do and speeds up when you do.

I’m a senior digital marketing manager at a company that helps other companies hire great talent.

A website is the face of a company, and we wanted to redesign ours to increase our ROI and sales and get as many demo requests as possible. We wanted the website to be the go-to place for any information users seek, whether on the customer, prospect, or the candidates our clients interact with.

Baunfire helped us redesign and redevelop our WordPress website, aiming to optimize our biggest lead generation channel and platform. The team worked with our existing website, starting with a discovery phase to discuss our ideas and how to collaborate and formulate a plan. We let them know how many web pages we needed during this phase.

We worked with two Baunfire teams; one maintained our existing website, and the other built the redesigned website. I worked a lot with Ralph (Creative Director), Jessica (Senior Project Manager), and Juan (Founder). Additionally, we worked with a Baunfire teammate who was in charge of the site content, a developer, and a few other team members I only interacted with around twice.

We found them through a referral by our senior director of marketing, who had worked with Baunfire at her previous company.

We worked together from June–November 2023.

Thanks to Baunfire’s work on the site, we had an increase in demo requests, which is huge for us. The team was highly professional, flexible, and accommodating to the stakeholders, waiting for feedback when needed. Overall, Baunfire did the best work possible with the timeline we had.

They delivered on time and within budget and communicated well. Jessica was an all-star; she was really good at her job, and I’m thankful she got assigned to our project.

While others could have done the job, Baunfire stood out for how they communicated. Moreover, their personalities meshed well with ours, so working with the Baunfire team was a joy — there weren’t significant frictions. I’ve worked on other design projects, and this project with Baunfire was the smoothest process I’ve had.

I would have loved to have gotten more insight into SEO and how to improve our copy. However, I should have brought it up since the start, so I don’t consider it a significant issue on Baunfire’s part.

Build your own timeline, and don’t rely so much on Baunfire’s. While the team can create a timeline for you, knowing exactly what you want is good.

I’m the senior director of marketing and communications at a real estate company.

We hired Baunfire to help us redesign and redevelop our corporate website.

Initially, we had an introductory call, after which they provided us with a quote and a project scope. Then, we went through several project phases, including discovery, content mapping, page design, and website development. These phases took a total of nine months to complete.

We interacted with three teammates from Baunfire from a project management standpoint. However, I don’t know how many teammates were involved from the development side.

We found them after searching for website design companies.

We spent around $50,000–$200,000.

We started communicating with Baunfire around October 2022 and contracted them in January 2023. The website was launched in September 2023.

After working with Baunfire, our business was explained much clearer through our website. I’ve also noticed that the users’ time on site is longer, but I don’t have precise data to confirm it.

Baunfire delivered on time and within budget. We communicated via Slack and video conference calls.

We loved working with Yagmur (Creative Director).

Baunfire’s design team was very talented and of high quality. They did a great job at learning who we were as a business and helped us represent that through our website.

There was nothing Baunfire could have improved on.

I don’t have any particular advice.
