App Designing (UI/UX)

We partnered with Empat to redesign a critical feature flow within our application, with the goal of improving usability before development. Their team produced detailed wireframes, polished UI designs, and an interactive Figma prototype that allowed us to gather meaningful feedback from stakeholders and early users. What stood out was their ability to create an interface that was not only visually refined but also intuitive and easy to navigate. They quickly understood the healthcare-related UX considerations involved and translated those requirements into a clean, accessible experience. The project was delivered on schedule, and the prototype played an important role in validating our product direction before implementation.

We engaged Empat to completely rebuild the backend of our livestreaming platform using Laravel while also developing core functionality, integrating the frontend, and supporting quality assurance. The project required more than implementation—it demanded thoughtful architectural planning and technical guidance. Throughout the engagement, the team consistently contributed valuable input on technical decisions, feature prioritization, and overall product logic. Their work resulted in a clear backend roadmap, reliable monetization workflows, and robust access-control mechanisms that strengthened the foundation of our platform. Communication was excellent, project management was well organized, and the team remained highly responsive throughout the development cycle. Their proactive involvement made them feel like genuine partners rather than external contractors.

We engaged Empat to strengthen the DevOps and backend foundation of our AI-driven longevity platform. Their team reviewed our existing AWS infrastructure, optimized backend services, introduced DevOps best practices, and resolved performance bottlenecks that were limiting scalability. The results were immediate and measurable. Daily AWS RDS costs dropped by approximately 75%, while our overall AWS infrastructure expenses were reduced by around 40%. Beyond the cost savings, our platform became noticeably more stable, efficient, and easier to scale as our business grows. Throughout the engagement, Empat was proactive, responsive, and focused on delivering meaningful business outcomes rather than simply completing technical tasks.

We had a request to create a site to provide information to potential customers about us and the services we provide, to publish for our segment of professional impact reviews of market situations in general and trends that have dominated the office real estate market. We considered several options for local companies and chose Empat. Their CEO held an intro-meet for us, where we asked all the questions and got to know their approach to work, and we were quite satisfied with it. As a result of our cooperation, we received a platform on which we can place information about our company and thus become closer and more open to our potential clients/partners. Also, the results of our research can be published and everyone can get acquainted with them. We are glad that we can broadcast information about ourselves and the fruits of our work to the masses.

I have discussed the idea with my team to find the best development service providers to build the solutions for our requirements. One of my colleagues came with this company, as he has already worked with them on his previous project, so we reviewed their client experience and communicated with them for further collaboration. I got prices from them and what they were going to do, and I felt that Empat was the best option for me. Empat created for us a complex solution - an educational platform that now represents best our services. The platform has seen a 29% increase in conversion in the first year. Empat did a lot of A/B testing and laid out a clear strategy for us, so these numbers are great and beyond what we had expected.

But when I talked to Empat, it was really natural and I felt like it was going to be a great experience, and that they were going to care. That meant a lot to me as a product manager of a startup. The willingness to go above and beyond to achieve our goals and make us happy about our experience has never wavered. One of the best customer service experiences I've ever had came from the team. Overall, I am pleased with their work. So far, they've completed everything I've asked of them.

The launch of this platform helped us validate the concept of such a store in Europe and obtain the necessary data for its development. We have received positive feedback from our users, over 90% of them noted it as general use and visually pleasing. The main task that was assigned to the empath team, in my opinion, has been completed. Their team was very open to feedback and they are committed to sharing suggestions to better improve our implementation as we progress. They are very professional both the dev team and during our negotiation stage.

Executive Interview

Executive Interview of Empat

Nazar Gulyk
Nazar Gulyk
CEO
Visit Profile

Please introduce your company and give a brief about your role within the organization.

We’re Empat - a full-service mobile & web agency for startups and businesses. My name is Nazar and I'm the CEO of this company.

What is the story behind starting this company?

The story began in 2013 with the creation of a small boutique web studio with high-profile clients. This studio's co-owner and primary account manager was me. Over the next five years, I founded three startups in various industries with varying degrees of success; two of them failed, and one was sold. In 2018, I decided to bring together the teams of three startups and a web studio to form Empat. We also launched the startup studio Empat two years later, in 2021, but due to the start of Russia's large-scale war against Ukraine and the focus on the Ukrainian market, we stopped investing in projects in 2022. We are now operating as a service outsourcing company.

What are your company’s business model–in house team or third party vendors/ outsourcing?

We have 56 employees, all of whom work in-house. Furthermore, the team has a low turnover - the average contract is 4-5 years with the same developers.

The hiring of freelancers raises the risk of quality and delivery for both us and our customers.

How does your company differentiate itself from the competition?

The majority of the team members have worked in startups, are co-founders of startups, or have their own pet projects. As a result, we have highly organized agency and creative thinking outside the box. This, I believe, is one of our strongest suits.

What industries do you generally cater to? Are your customers repetitive? If yes, what ratio of clients has been repetitive to you?

Some of our clients have been working with us since 2014. Almost 70% of new projects come from existing clients or recommendations. Healthcare, FinTech, EdTech, and Social Media are some of the major industries.

Please share some of the services that you offer for which clients approach you the most for?

We excel at creating startups from the ground up, particularly mobile apps: our developed apps are now thriving in the US market, and our clients' MVPs have received their 25M+ investments.

What is your customer satisfaction rate according to you? What steps do you take to cater to your customer’s needs and requirements?

The only way to know if your customers are truly satisfied with your company, products, and services is to conduct regular customer satisfaction surveys. We have a clear system for measuring customer satisfaction, and we conduct monthly surveys to determine how well we are doing our job.

What kind of support system do you offer to your clients for catering to their queries and issues?

Our managers are assigned to each client and are available through the communication channels that are most convenient for them. In addition, we have two months of project support after the project is completed.

What kind of payment structure do you follow to bill your clients? Is it Pay per Feature, Fixed Cost, Pay per Milestone (could be in phases, months, versions etc.)

The billing system is determined by the project. This is typically monthly billing in the time & materials format, which is approved by the client at the beginning of the month.

Do you take in projects which meet your basic budget requirement? If yes, what is the minimum requirement? If no, on what minimum budget you have worked for?

Projects starting at $5,000 are considered.

What is the price range (min and max) of the projects that you catered to in 2021?

The price range is 10.000$ - 800.000$

Where do you see your company in the next 10 years?

10 years is too long in today's world. In the next year, we want to help our clients launch more than 50 new projects, attract more than $5 billion in investments, and have a total audience of 1 billion users across all of our projects.
