OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire 7L International, and what were your goals?

Custom react components for a landing page built on Framer

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

A great track record in helping people figure out custom Framer stuff and active participation in the Framer dev community

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

The team was (and still is) working on all of our front-end needs, helping us customize a variety of no-code solutions with custom code infusions. They are always fast and efficient, delivering the code with no bugs whatsoever, and I would say that with the majority of our tasks, we have the result delivered the next day.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

Several people

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

Before the beginning of our collaboration, we were not able to get meaningful data from our analytics tools, and the invite system we wanted to have in place was not possible via no-code solutions at all. Now we’re able to achieve any desired granularity of logging on-page events via Mixpanel, including custom rules of logging for different platforms and scenarios, and our invite system, built on Framer with some custom code components, works as if it was built from scratch.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

Perfect. All of the communication is done in a designated channel of our Discord server. No requirement was ever overlooked, and frankly, we get close to instant responses on all of our requests even well outside of working hours (the time-zone difference between Europe and the US was never an issue).

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

We were impressed with their speed.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

None

BACKGROUND

I am the director of a electronics manufacturing company. We deal with approx 50 different customers manufacturing pcb assemblies . Keytech employs 65 people

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire 7L International, and what were your goals?

We previous designed a ERP system for keytech called keynote. Unfortunately we no longer have access to the original designer. We asked 7L to look at mantinence and upgrade of keynote to enable keynote to continue to work.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

We found 7L through an agent who put us in touch with 7L. We picked 7L because they proposed they would be able to modify and update existing code. All others said they would completely rewrite the process on different code. As there are many elements to the ERP system using the existing code was a better choice.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

We broke the lnitial work up into a number of projects which had out comes and deliverables new code versions. Inadditions 7L cleaned the existing codeas each section was updated.

Currently we have 4 working with us A commercial manager. Code devloper and 2 project developers we meet regularly over Google meetings discuss next stage and deliverables

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

So far we have received 2 new upreved versions of code. After initial glitch which was resolved quickly . The new code is working with the additional functionality added.we are currently working on a new mobile app which will replace a very old outdated mobile device.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

Because we had no documentation for the operation of the system we did a number if video show and tell type calls. The individual projects are posted on gitlab and requirements and deliverables are listed. We have a weekly video call with all the team which is helpful.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

I found 7L's ability to understand the operation of the keynote system only by seeing the original code, which had very little comments in it and there was no operational manual supplied. This was most impressive.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

So far I cannot think of anything that could have been done differently

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I oversee our analytics team at EMPIRE, a global record label and music distributor.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire 7L International, and what were your goals?

We needed to provide a client-facing, influencer analytics dashboard for our priority clients. We had not been able to achieve our goals with traditional dashboard tools (tableau, data studio, etc). After speaking with 7L and in particular Michalis, we worked through a solution quickly and within a few weeks had a product that was beyond my expectations.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

7L advised me and challenged my perspective early which built trust and were able to explain their process thoroughly. I felt comfortable from the start and was confident in my decision.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the founder of Algo. Algo is a data-visualization studio specializing in video automation. We run a platform that turns data into videos, at scale.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire 7L International, and what were your goals?

I found 7L International when looking for a development partner skilled in creating custom components for complex interactions within Framer, the new no-code tool that was very recently launched to the public. Our goal was to find an experienced development team that could help us build our vision for some of the most complex interactions we had in mind.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

We got in touch with 7L International and Michalis in the Framer Discord channel. After reviewing their portfolio and articles on the topic, we understood they had the experience we needed.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

The 7L International team was tasked to create approximately 8 code-based components within Framer, covering the whole site most complex interactions. From a counter connected to an external api, to a WebGL transformation of images and video on Hover. Framer runs on React.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

We mainly worked with Michalis.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

The site was launched reaching a traffic 10x bigger than the average traffic on the previous website. It's soon to give more results as the launch happened just a few days ago, but the new site is getting noticed online and it's already bringing us high-quality leads for our data-visualization & video automation projects.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

We worked on Slack, with daily / weekly updates about the new features. We mainly used Loom to showcase new developments and provide feedback.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Michalis was really open to help us natigate through Framer and its features. Our internal dev team wasn't used to work with React so the whole project required a shift of mindset. 7L International was a great partner in this project.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

None :)

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire 7L International, and what were your goals?

We received a brief from a client who wanted to update their website ready for their big re-launch. Our goal was to create a unique and bold web experience that captured the brand and displayed its products beautifully.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

As we do not have any in-house web developers, and have worked with 7L International in the past, they were a great fit and understand our ways of working.

The scope of work covered the web development and integration of new creative assets on a skincare brand's website that is hosted on Shopify.

This included a Home page, header, footer, responsive navigation menu and x3 product description pages.

We communicated directly with 2 people from the vendor's team. The VP of Business Development and a Senior Web Software Engineer, Project Manager.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

The team were extremely responsive and able to work flexibly when required. Our communications were kept mainly to emails which allowed us to make amends and continue development between our Zoom calls.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

They provided an extremely impressive, bold, and responsive website that was absolutely true to our vision. Their response times and efficiency was great.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

Any small tweaks were picked up really quickly and amended even after the formal project end date which was really appreciated. The only minor feedback would be that it would be great to get a comprehensive timeline for the project up-front.
