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…"

"More than 20 client case studies are published, and at least six close with outcome numbers rather than screenshots: mishmash reports a 212% sales lift and 34% conversion gain, Hey Harper 17% conversion in its EU store and around €3M in added revenue at one month's payback, Coffee King 29% conversion and 38% average order value two months after launch, and CometChat 50% more demo requests. Case studies list front-end and back-end development alongside design and brand work, so this is a build…"

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
Significa
✓ Strengths
- •Outcome reporting is consistent across verticals, not just commerce: allO documents a 30% sales increase and 25 minutes saved per shift in back-office work, and Diesta a 50% reduction in manual reconciliation after launch.
- •Four projects were published in 2026 (Coffee King, Diesta, Petzai, FC Porto hospitality), and the blog has run 10 posts since April 2026, mostly on AI in discovery and prototyping.
- •Operating signals are verifiable: B Corp certified and a 1% for the Planet member, trading since 2016 from a street address and landline, roughly 35 people listed, and a fully public company handbook covering design ethos, engineering practice, NGO pricing, and its AI policy.
⚠ Watch-outs
- •Research is referenced but no discovery artifacts appear on any project page—ask to see interview notes, a test plan or a wireframe sequence from a recent project before assuming discovery sits inside your quote.
- •Conversion and revenue figures are published without a stated measurement window or control—ask how each lift was isolated from seasonality and paid-media spend, especially on the e-commerce replatforms.
- •Strategy, brand, design, and both front-end and back-end sit under one roof at roughly 35 people—confirm how many are assigned to your project at once, and whether design and engineering run concurrently or in sequence.

Significa
