What we said about each
What we said about Crafton
"Of 28 published case studies, the deepest show the research behind the design: ENEA's redesign documents 8 user interviews, 4 staff focus groups and two usability-test rounds, and Santander Consumer Bank's covers 16 test respondents. Santander is the one case with results the design can claim—20% shorter loan applications and 45% higher user satisfaction; elsewhere the figures are platform usage or the client's own business numbers, such as Najiz's 57,000 weekly court cases. The weaker fit is…"

Strengths and watch-outs
Both upsides and risks, straight from our editorial assessments.
Crafton
✓ Strengths
- •Long-running enterprise accounts—LOT Polish Airlines since 2019, plus 6 projects over 3 years for STC—suit buyers who need a partner for years, not one launch
- •Accessibility is documented, not just listed: the Poznań University of Economics site was tested with blind, low-vision, dyslexic, deaf and motor-impaired students against WCAG 2.1 AA
- •Aviation work covers both sides of a trip—LOT's booking engine and Manage My Booking, plus Riyadh and Jeddah airport portals with indoor wayfinding and flight tracking
⚠ Watch-outs
- •Ask how the published numbers were measured: SAB Invest's 92% digital registration is a bank-wide figure and Najiz's 57,000 weekly court cases is platform usage, so neither shows what the redesign changed
- •Budget for project totals, not just the €40-90/hr rate: Crafton quotes websites at tens to hundreds of thousands of złoty and says it recommends other agencies to smaller companies with simple needs. If your budget is fixed, share it up front—the agency offers to scope a smaller MVP to fit it
- •Several of the deepest case studies—ENEA, TEB Edukacja, Poznań University of Economics—are published in Polish only; ask for English write-ups if you can't read them
Flying Bisons
✓ Strengths
- •Published case studies document full research-to-delivery scope: desk research, in-depth interviews, heatmaps, screen recordings, information architecture, wireframing, and design systems
- •Long-term enterprise partnerships—KFC (since 2017, 5 European markets), IKEA, Pekao Bank, PwC—with named client testimonials from Director-level stakeholders
- •At EUR 45-90/hr with 200+ completed projects and data analytics as a service, the price-to-capability ratio is strong for the scope of work shown
⚠ Watch-outs
- •Case studies describe process scope clearly but rarely include specific measurable outcomes (conversion lifts, revenue impact)—ask for performance data if ROI evidence is important to your evaluation
- •Broad service offering (UX research, strategy, branding, copywriting, development, analytics, product management, photo/video) suggests a generalist model—confirm who would staff your project and their specific UX depth
- •Website shows Middle East expansion (Alinma Bank, Zain)—if local Warsaw availability matters, clarify current team allocation and capacity
