Industry landscape01

Where does technology stand in Vietnam?

Vietnamese tech companies are numerous and technically strong, and many already sell abroad. Business buyers judge on a screen before they meet a person. A clear brand shortens the road to a contract.

Pain points03

Six pain points design can fix

Design won't write the code for you. But it can fix the pain points that make buyers close the page before they click the trial.

Customer journey04

Where do business buyers decide to buy?

Business buyers go through five stages before they sign. Wherever the brand falls short, that is where the client is lost.

  1. Search

    Look for solutions, ask colleagues, read comparison articles.

    Common mistakeThe name doesn't stand out on the comparison list.

  2. Evaluate

    Read the landing page and feature table, look at existing customers.

    Common mistakeThey can't tell what the product does in five seconds.

  3. Trial

    Sign up, open the product for the first time, book a demo.

    Common mistakeA confusing first use with no one to guide them.

  4. Decide

    Take it to the boss, compare proposals, negotiate.

    Common mistakeThe documents aren't polished enough for the champion to present upward.

  5. Long-term use

    Roll it out to the whole team, renew, buy more.

    Common mistakeEvery update looks different, and users find it confusing.

FAQ10

Frequently asked questions

At minimum: positioning, logo, color, type, a sentence that says what the product does, and a landing page. If you have a product team, you also need a digital design system so the interface travels with the brand.

Brand guidelines set out how the brand appears everywhere. A digital design system goes deep into the interface: buttons, input fields, grids, motion and a component library that developers can use directly.

Yes, but keep it lean: positioning, logo, landing page and fundraising materials. Save the larger work for after the product has found its customers.

The Law on Personal Data Protection (Law No. 91/2025/QH15), effective 1 Jan 2026, together with Decree 13/2023/ND-CP, sets requirements for notice and user consent. Design a clear consent screen from the start rather than hiding it in small print; the legal wording should be confirmed by your own legal team.

The core identity usually takes a few weeks; the digital design system follows at the pace of your product team. Timing for each item is on the matching service page.
