Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

The goal of the project was to create a landing page for a conference at Prague Castle where people could buy tickets.

Apadore first made the design in Figma.

Then they built the website. They created a custom system for ticket registration, added an upsell feature, and made it possible to buy several tickets in one order.

They also connected the website to Google Sheets so we could easily see all the orders.
 Other features included:

Automatic invoicing
Automatic email system
We also needed a voting system to select the Leader of the Future, which we wanted to announce at the conference. Apadore built a system where people could nominate leaders in the first round (with email verification) and then updated it so people could vote for the nominated leaders in the second round.

The whole system worked really well and saved us a lot of time.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

We were able to select the Leader of the Future directly through the website, with more than 1,000 people voting.

We sold over 200 tickets with a total value of more than $100,000.

We could also easily export all the attendee data for our event app.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

We worked directly with Mikolas. Their project management was very good. They delivered everything on time and responded quickly, and adapted to our needs whenever something changed during the project (and it was a lot).

What was your primary form of communication with Apadore Studio?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

Their approach to mistakes. 

By this time, we worked with a lot of IT companies and mistakes happen and it is almost impossible to avoid them. If some problem occurred, even from their side, they quickly addressed it, fixed it and gave us a discount or some compensation.

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

Nothing comes to mind

We started with a strategy and discovery workshop with Mikoláš. From it, we got a clear project document that summed up all key findings, target groups, and next steps. Based on that, the team came up with a new name for us. We changed our name from Mobile Truck Wash to Wellsprint, a name we really like. Then they prepared a few branding ideas. We chose the one we liked the most, and they turned it into a full brand identity. After that, we moved to the website. Using what we defined in the strategy, they created a structure that fits our goals and audience. They designed the website in our new style and wrote all the texts. To see how it works, they made an interactive prototype we could test on mobile and desktop. In the end, they built and tested the website and delivered a fully working version. They also took care of all the technical things, hosting, domain setup, and email setup, so everything was ready to use.
