What We Do

Innovation & Strategy Workshops + Design Sprints

We've helped dozens of companies solve complex problems and genuinely innovate not only their systems, but also their entire way of thinking.

Enterprise & Mobile Applications


From mobile games to web applications that help companies function in the field, we’ve built hundreds of apps that impact the bottom line.

Team Training for Creating Applications


No more “now what?” when a project is complete. Both teams work side-by-side making decisions together on features, code, design, and business impact.

Our Approach

"There is a technical name for the absence of user research: Guessing."
- Jared Spool

Our Designtific Method replaces guessing with research-informed decision making. This helps teams reduce confusion and delayed releases. User research gives teams confidence they are delivering a digital product customers will love...and pay for.

Our small, multi-disciplinary team has spent the last two decades experimenting and refining our process for turning great ideas into solid strategy and great digital products and experiences.

Our Work

Featured:
Sevco Security

Challenge

The head honcho at Sevco came to Sodium Halogen with an idea for a platform to solve an ongoing pain point in cybersecurity: proper cloud based asset management that delivers real-time asset intelligence. We have worked with him several times in the past, with the most recent being 2014-2015 while he was at CarbonBlack, so he knew our capabilities and experience working in the cybersecurity sector. The what and why were figured out, but not the how.

Approach

We have a full process available, but its real power is in its flexibility to suit the needs of any client. In Sevco's case, we did a mini Strategy Session along with a slimmed-down Discovery Workshop, since they had already covered that information. They also chose to use their own Project Manager, Dev team, and Brand team, leaving Sodium Halogen's role focused solely around Product Design and User Testing.

Results

Our experience with building cybersecurity platforms helped us design and build the Sevco app from zero to launch in nine months, with an MVP available in just three months, allowing the sales team to secure early contracts.

"Sodium Halogen helped us get over a huge hurdle at a time when it was critical - I was feeling a ton of angst about our project timelines in September - deadlines were looming and we didn't even have a user interface. Sodium Halogen made it all disappear, and we ended up with a highly differentiated user interface that has been a key selling point in 90 days.

Summarize that: In September, we didn't have a user interface. By Jan 1, we not only had a user interface, but had a major purchase for the product!

To get there is incredible, and we couldn't have done it without you!"

The Sodium Halogen team has proven expertise in designing and building advanced workflows and tailored data visualizations. They work tirelessly to understand the users needs in order to provide valuable insight into the UX patterns that could be tailored to fit even the most complex use cases. We have been able to build upon the designs they provided for years even as our own products continue to evolve.

We highly recommend involving them in the earliest stages of research to help guide UX, presentation, and visualization of research results to help stake holders understand the benefits provided by powerful new capabilities. We look forward to continuing to collaborate with them for years to come.

“My company was needing a way to send thousands of invoices at once to a national chain retailer for landscaping services, so I reached out to Sodium Halogen desperately needing a solution. William was calm and knowledgeable about my circumstances. The team put my mind to ease with their instant solutions. Incredibly helpful, and very patient with my company. We are one of the few companies that are accurate and timely on invoicing now.”

“Prior to the redesign, the website had limited Calls To Action (CTAs). While the old site listed a self-service option with a free trial, it did not convert at the level we wanted. Your redesign helped transform the site by creating numerous CTAs to engage visitors that were ‘not obnoxious’. They were subtle and consistent in their appearance. Most importantly, they increased our overall engagement rates and trial signups.”

Kris Bondi, CMO

Sodium Halogen has changed how we operate online. We were looking for a basic website upgrade but their hard work and collaboration with our team has created the foundation of a platform. Within 6 months of launching, more than 50% of our inbound leads were connecting with us via the Website, previously it was zero.
