Santorio Foundation
Santorio is a foundation that supports innovative tools and technology platforms to accelerate research and development in personalized health.
We’ve collaborated with them during the last couple of weeks in order to shape their visual identity, website and overall online experience. The goal of the website is to show all different projects they support, show their progress to potential collaborators - or how Santorio likes to call them “co-impactors” - and invite potential investors to join forces with them.
The result is a minimalistic generative identity system, flexible enough so the brand can accommodate and expand as needed, and a fully customizable website they can manage on their own to publish new projects.

Piomic
Piomic is a Swiss company pioneering in the field of health that has created a device to treat chronic wounds by optical and magnetic stimulation.
We have worked on their website redesign.
You can check their brand new website https://piomic.com
Hudya
We designed Hudya's brand from scratch and worked on their commercial and corporate website, and their mobile app interface.
Lunaphore
A generative brand identity for the 2nd best Swiss startup of the year (TOP100 Swiss Startups Awards).
–––
The Client
Lunaphore Technologies is a Swiss medtech startup developing innovative and disruptive next-generation equipment for cancer research and tissue diagnostics.
The Challenge
Lunaphore asked us to design a brand identity and corporate website which could articulate the scientific and professional elements of a leader biotech company, with the signature innovative style of their young founders.
Tomplay
An interactive cross-platform app that helps students and professional musicians practice and play their music.
–––
The Client
Tomplay is a Swiss startup which reinvented the sheet music and made it an interactive and immersive playing experience.
The Challenge
Tomplay wanted to make every musician's life simpler by making scores understandable, regardless if it is a professional concert pianist or a young kid dreaming to be a popstar.
With that premise in mind, we tackled our first mission: to redesign the UI and to make the app more inviting to use. As we succeed and gained the founders' trust, they posed us with a new and bigger challenge: to improve UX and in-app engagement across multiple platforms.
Boligmesse
One of the most popular home fairs from Scandinavia got a new website, and they are loving it.
–––
The Client
Compass Fairs is one of the biggest fairs organizers in Scandinavia, with more than 20 year in the business and representation in Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Germany.
The Challenge
The client asked us to renew their online presence and redesign their current websites for all the scandinavian network. The key request was to make the sites appeal to two kinds of audiences: attendees and exhibitors.
Compass Fairs / Dinstand
We gave one of the biggest fairs organizers in Scandinavia a whole new brand direction.
–––
The Client
Compass Fairs is one of the biggest fairs organizers in Scandinavia, with more than 20 year in the business and representation in Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Germany.
The Challenge
The company decided to freshen up their entire brand & online presence, so they entrusted us the task of finding a new direction for their visual identity while keeping their essence and certain aspects of the previous identity. But the true challenge was not only giving a multinational company a face, we also had to design and develop their websites at the same time.
Before we started working on the project and putting a single line drop of ink in a paper, we took a lot of time to analyze and plan the project, getting into every detail as possible, and also getting to know them a little better (who they are, what do they like, what are they like), so our journey –and our questions– began.
Health Horizons
We designed the face of a world leading event to address the future of the healthcare industry.
–––
The Client
Health Horizons is a high-caliber, two-day conference where healthcare leaders gather to analyze the present and future challenges of the industry. The event is organized by the same people that runs The Innovation Forum, a leading organization that connects medtech innovators with the industry and investors.
The Challenge
We were tasked to design their branding from the ground up, from its name to the stationary and digital assets needed to promote the event.
Innovation Forum
We partnered up with a global network of innovators in order to build a custom news platform.
–––
The Client
The Innovation Forum is a global grassroots network of over 10,000 innovators that seek to build bridges between industry, academia and government. Their main gole is to accelerate the speed of technology adoption for the benefit of the wider society.
The Challenge
They asked us to create a news platform that could be easily managed by a wide range of people simultaneously. They also needed to group and manage different types of user types, some of them being subscribers, partners or sponsors.
Another key requirement was to highlight all the events and conferences they organize in different countries (branches), so we had to integrate the site with Evenbrite (a third-party event manager) allowing them to manage and show their own events on their brand new site.

Web Design & Development for Biotech Startup
“They also delivered everything within our timeframe and budget.”
the reviewer
the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the CEO and co-founder of PB&B Ltd, a biotech startup focused on medical aesthetics and new technology for plastic surgeons and dermatologists.
What challenge were you trying to address with Moka?
We’re a new company and our product won’t be released for a few more years. In the meantime, we needed to attract private investors. I turned to Moka to freshen up our website and target investors.
What was the scope of their involvement?
I asked them to completely redesign our WordPress website to make it look more high-tech. To give them a better understanding of our business and who we were targeting, I shared our investor slide deck.
From there, they lightened up the site’s color scheme, simplified the design, introduced some images, and removed some text.
Then they did some development work and implemented the design.
What is the team composition?
I worked with four people on their team.
How much have you invested with them?
We spent about $4,500.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working with them in August 2020 and the website was completed in October 2020.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
My advisory board and investors have been impressed with our website. The design is professional and is comparable to other companies in our industry. I also think that the site will be easy to update when we begin targeting doctors.
How did Moka perform from a project management standpoint?
They communicated well throughout the engagement. We used WhatsApp to communicate with them because there was a lot of back and forth between our team and theirs.
They also delivered everything within our timeframe and budget.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Unlike other companies I’ve worked with in the past, Moka listened to what we wanted and took the time to understand what makes us unique in the industry. We’re in a niche market and we have to communicate very complex ideas in the simplest fashion possible. So, having a partner like Moka, who created an open dialog with us is very valuable.
Are there any areas they could improve?
There were a few times when we disagreed on the direction to go in, but ultimately that was a good thing because we got different perspectives and were able to come up with the best course of action.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Communicate as much as you can with them. They will be there to listen and get the job done.

I’m the former CEO of a research innovation forum.

The main outcome was that we had a nice, visually appealing site. All the specifications were completed to our liking.

What did you find most impressive about them?
They’re very creative and on the cutting edge of what’s happening in the industry.

Web Development, Design, & Branding for Medical Startup
“The whole team is young, energetic, and motivated to bring something really exciting to the web.”
the reviewer
the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I am the founder and CEO of a medical device startup in Switzerland.
What challenge were you trying to address with Moka?
We needed a partner to help us redesign the structure and appearance of our website.
What was the scope of their involvement?
Originally, their team developed our website from the ground up using WordPress, and then after a few years, we worked with them to overhaul the site and refresh it to reflect the changes we had made over the years.
They started by conducting a full UX analysis of the site, documenting what users were expecting and then designing and incorporating content for the pages and their organization to match those expectations.
From there, they helped us implement proper cookie policies and privacy policies to comply with the laws in Europe, especially GDPR. After that, they conducted keyword research and structured the pages on our site to optimize for SEO.
What is the team composition?
We worked with two people on the frontend and three for the backend, including the founder and their product owner focused on medical devices.
How did you come to work with Moka?
I found them through the websites of other tech startups in Switzerland because they had designed quite a few websites that I really liked. They made a competitive offering when we put out an RFP, so we decided to move forward with them.
How much have you invested with them?
Altogether, the project came to around $50,000–$60,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
Our initial development project with them ran from around November 2017–April 2018, and our current project started in January 2020 and wrapped up in April.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
We work with a variety of stakeholders, so we have investors on one side, and we have other startups, news outlets, healthcare professionals, and our actual customers on the other. All of those groups are sources of really good feedback, and our UX analyses have produced really positive reactions from everyone so far.
Google Analytics trends have also been trending upwards since we implemented the structural improvements for our SEO, and we have been very pleased with the increases in traffic that we’ve seen as a result of that.
How did Moka perform from a project management standpoint?
Their team has been really flexible in working with us. We always have weekly check-ins over email, WhatsApp, and Zoom to make sure that we are making progress toward our end goals. They are adaptable both in scheduling those and in shifting their workflow if we ever have delays on our end.
In terms of pricing structure, they have always been totally transparent, and we get a slightly lower rate because we are continued customers with then. They are very easy to talk to about what we need and how they can best meet those needs without trying to upsell you on their services.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Their ability to deliver high-quality work at a rapid pace lends an absolutely invaluable level of efficiency and profitability to our development. The whole team is young, energetic, and motivated to bring something really exciting to the web.
Are there any areas they could improve?
To be honest, I am totally satisfied with what they are doing for us and would definitely hire them again. I really don’t have any complaints.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Check out the websites that they have already developed, and write down all of the elements that you like. Then sit down with them and have an open discussion about what they would recommend, because they bring a lot of in-house knowledge and motivation to deliver the best possible product for you.

This company delivers high quality at high value. We were please with the responsiveness, easy interactions and the state-of-the art platforms used in the content creation process.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
We were highly satisfied with the process and results. Particularly, this design project had to be delivered in a relatively fluid situation, with different stakeholders from different organizations involved, i.e. not a simple 1:1 project management situation. This complexity was dealt with in a very constructive and efficient fashion.
Moka delivered a professional and high-tech design that is commensurate with industry leaders. As a result, the client’s advisory board and investors have been impressed with the final design. Moka’s team worked closely with the client, relying on WhatsApp to streamline communication.
