Capital Numbers

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am president of my company which is a startup involved in news, online social media, publishing, and advertising.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Capital Numbers, and what were your goals?

They have been developing the first website. My goal was to complete the site in time to launch in conjunction with the purchase of another business. That business has since been purchased and we are gearing up to launch the website along with a newly redesigned publication.

SOLUTION

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

I selected Capital Numbers because of their ratings online and the affordability of their services.

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

I submitted a breakdown of what I wanted the site to include and what my budget was. They followed up with recommended options in respect to my budget and I went with their recommendation of a WordPress site. They followed up with a kickoff call to discuss the budget and go over the development time for each piece. We then went over how I wanted the site to look and they provided mock-ups. I selected the closest to my vision and they made the necessary changes.

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

Anindya Mukherjee, Director of Operations Vibanshu Gupta, Account Manager Tulika Sikdar, Project Manager Sushil Kumar Gupta, Developer

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

After a couple revisions, they absolutely nailed the look of the website I envisioned. The design team even made some recommendations which took it to the next level. The website is not yet complete and there are some development steps remaining.

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

They utilize teamwork to map out milestones and communicate on the project. They are very communicative and work really well meeting deadlines. I largely communicate via email.

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

I was blown away by their entire process and their ability to communicate effectively. They were highly effective at ascertaining what I wanted and building out an affordable option which would make it a reality. In contrast, I began working with WordPress directly through their "Built by WordPress" team. They were exceptionally poor communicators and their project manager, although initially friendly, became condescending and unprofessional. It amazes me that developers from India can communicate better and out deliver American developers from WordPress.

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

The only thing I could comment on is that on phone conferences, it is often difficult for me to understand them due to the language barrier and call quality. If they could add a native English speaker to jump in if necessary, it would make a huge difference.
