Project management was Chykalophia’s biggest strength. They were very clear communicators in terms of the status of the project, what was being done, and what issues were being worked on. What did you find most impressive about them? Chykalophia was amazing at providing us with the information that they needed in order to do a good job for us. They were also extraordinarily helpful in making suggestions to help us figure out how to get something done. Aside from that, their communication and listening skills were worlds better than what we had experienced before. They took what we wanted and translated it into something we were very happy with. They were also very solutions-oriented — whenever we wanted to add specific functionality to the site, such as a subscription function or password protection for certain products, they were always willing to look into things and come up with good solutions to make that happen. Are there any areas they could improve? The branding and marketing stage took a bit longer than we had hoped, but other than that, I have no complaints. --- #### Web Revamp for Strategic Insights Company **The Project** - Services: Web Design - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: Mar. - June 2022 **Project Summary**: Chykalophia revamped a website for a strategic insights agency.

The team revamped their existing website, improving search visibility, content, branding, and overall user experience. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** CEO, OnShore Technology Group - Industry: Other industries - Client size: 11-50 Employees - Review Type: Online Review - Verified **The Review** — Apr 20, 2021 **Feedback Summary**: Chykalophia did an excellent job.

ValidationMaster, OnShore's Enterprise Validation Management and Quality system is used by companies across the globe to accelerate the validation process and deliver greater efficiencies and compliance. Valarie King-Bailey is the CEO and Founder of the company. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** For what projects/services did your company hire Chykalophia, and what were your goals? We hired Chykalophia for the development of both our corporate and product website. At the time we engages Chykalophia, we were at a critical point in our corporate history. Our product was gaining traction with the market along with our professional services but our website did not reflect the brand very well. We needed a brand update/refresh and a website that better reflected our brand, products and services. We also were looking for search engine optimization and to improve the "stickiness" of the site. **SOLUTION** How did you select Chykalophia and what were the deciding factors? Chykalophia's work speaks for itself. I was browsing a website designed by Chykalophia and was stunned by its beauty, ease of navigation and overall design. When I looked at the footer of the website to determine the designer, it was Chykalophia. I called them immediately. One of the key deciding factors in our selection was the advanced knowledge of the team. They understood my challenges and immediately proposed changes to our website that have produced results. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to work with them. THEY LISTEN! I did not feel rushed into a decision and almost from the very beginning, I knew I was dealing with Pros! The price quote was totally fair and they explained everything each step of the way. Most unique, they have systems in place to keep the project on track at each step. They defined milestones so we could clearly keep the project on time and within budget. Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used. The objective of this project was to design our corporate and product website. They primarily used WordPress and other technologies to facilitate this. A good portion of the work involved branding and updates to the GUI. They did a FANTASTIC JOB! How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions? We had (3) team members from Chykalophia that worked with us. They were primarily web developers, designers, and the CEO of the company. Each person was very qualified and excellent to work with. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables? The results were FANTASTIC. First, they delivered the project on-time and within budget. We started immediately receiving a lot of leads and job candidates through the new website. They clearly applied SEO to the website to help more prospects find our website. There has been a substantial increase in our website traffic and this is ultimately reflected in our bottom line. Chykalophia was very easy to work with and they get the job done! We were EXTREMELY happy with their performance on this project and have retained them for monthly maintenance. I have worked with a lot of web developers over the past 17 years and Chykalophia stands out as THE VERY BEST OF THEM ALL! Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timelines. One of the biggest benefits of working with Chykalophia as a company executive is that they will not waste your time. Meetings were very productive and we did not have to keep repeating ourselves. They understood our objectives and they provided us at each step of the way with options to help meet our objectives. We were blown away with some of their options provided. THEY WERE SO GOOD! It was hard to choose :) They have an automated system that let's us know when milestones have been reached and when they need something from us. It was OnShore that was sometimes late - Chykalophia WAS NEVER LATE with their deliverables! :) Their project management style is very flexible and suitable for either small, medium, or large enterprises. What did you find most impressive or unique about this company? I was VERY IMPRESSED with their team and how easy they are to work with. Every single person I encountered at Chykalophia was at the top of their game, very friendly and easy to work with and FOCUSED. I was also impressed with their design experience and how they captured our brand. They really know what they are doing and they work hard to please. They are EXCELLENT at what they do. Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently? Chykalophia flawlessly executed our project. I cannot think of anything they could have done better. This is a result of them being good listeners. I did not have to repeat myself and I did not have to tell them where to go. They took the time to understand the brand and ensure that they understood what we needed. They performed FLAWLESSLY! I would use them again and again! --- #### Website Development for Online Crystals Healing School **The Project** - Services: Web Development - Project size: $50,000 to $199,999 - Project length: May 2019 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Chykalophia has rebuilt and redesigned an online course organization’s websites using Elementor. Their work involves implementing new features for the firm’s students as well as reorganizing content. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 4.5 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Founder, Love & Light School - Industry: Education - Client size: 1-10 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Apr 16, 2021 **Feedback Summary**: The client is deeply satisfied with Chykalophia’s work that they’ve enlisted their services on a retainer basis. The team communicates closely with the firm, and they bring innovative ideas to the table. They understand the company’s business and operations, enabling a successful engagement. "“They build what we need on the platform that we choose.” " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I’m the founder and educational director of The Love and Light School of Crystal Therapy, an online course organization that provides energy healing classes to people around the world. I’m also the owner of Mimosa Books and Gifts, a bricks-and-mortar and online book and gift shop. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Chykalophia? I'd been with a few different website developers in the past. As my company grew, I had a hard time finding a website developer and designer that could keep up with the latest advances in the technologies that we were using to run my company. Technology was constantly updating, so finding a website developer and implementing best practices became difficult. I found myself spending a lot of time troubleshooting things and asking my web developer to look into those instead of having someone that offered solutions right off the bat. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? Chykalophia was primarily involved in development tasks. In terms of designing smaller things for us, such as pop-ups on the website, we had a separate brand designer that we've been working with for several years. That being said, if I hadn't already had a brand designer, I probably would have outsourced that to Chykalophia as well. We have multiple domains under one company, and we use them for different things. On our main website, we host our blog and podcast. A lot of our marketing materials are there, so it's primarily the home of all of our content. Chykalophia has rebuilt that website and redesigned it slightly using Elementor, which we didn’t use in the past. It was user-friendly on our end; we could make slight changes while allowing for more custom development and coding. Chykalophia also worked on our entire course website, where all courses for our customers were hosted. From the ground up, their team helped with the reorganization and structuring of everything. They’ve also implemented some great features to help our students and clients. What is the team composition? Our main contacts are Peter (Co-Founder & CEO) and Danica (Project Manager). From time to time, we also work one-on-one with some of their individual developers for smaller projects. We have a project management system that Chykalophia set up specifically for my business. We can communicate there, add notes, and get updates. How did you come to work with Chykalophia? We did a lot of extensive research. We had narrowed down our options to a pool of about six developers that we were interested in working with. However, after viewing Chykalophia’s website, we saw their clients’ testimonials and portfolio. The broad range of services they offered gave us a lot of flexibility. Knowing that they offered design and marketing services in-house was also helpful. We reached out to Chykalophia through a website contact form, and they responded promptly. They set up a quick phone call to understand our needs and the scope of the upcoming project. They asked us what we were looking for in the short and long term. They then came back to us with a proposal for an initial project outlined in PDF format. They gave us a welcome package and client onboarding information that made it easy for us to know who was in charge and who to contact. More importantly, Chykalophia was very gracious in understanding our hesitation in working with a new developer. We started with a small side project before tackling anything too big. That small project went really smoothly. They offered to do this because of our reluctance to deal with someone new. After seeing how that project rolled out, how good the communication was, and how they met our needs, we decided to move forward with a larger project. How much have you invested with them? So far, we’ve invested over $50,000. What is the status of this engagement? We started working with them in May 2019, and we’re on a monthly retainer basis now. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? Peter brings new innovative solutions. We come to him with the problem we’re facing, and he does a lot of research to figure out how he can best fix it. Then, he tries to see ahead into the future to anticipate our needs as we continue to grow. It’s nice to have that constant flow of communication to keep things moving. How did Chykalophia perform from a project management standpoint? We’re using Elementor in conjunction with WordPress, LearnDash, WooCommerce, and ActiveCampaign to meet all of our needs. Chykalophia has been able to implement those seamlessly. They’ve provided us some alternatives; we were previously using WPBakery, and we even discussed moving off of WordPress and going to other platforms like Shopify, Squarespace, and others. Overall, they give us options, explain the pros and cons of each, and give us suggestions and recommendations. Ultimately, the decision is ours. From there, they build what we need on the platform that we choose. What did you find most impressive about them? What stands out to us is their experience in membership sites and online courses. That’s my primary business, so it’s nice to know that they understand what my business is and how it operates. Moreover, they’re active in cutting-edge training in their industry. They also have a prominent social media presence. Following them on Instagram has also been truly helpful for us to see what kind of people they are. Working with good people is really important to us. On top of that, knowing that the brand is women-led is also important. --- #### Web Development & Design & CRM Consulting for Education Co **The Project** - Services: CRM Consulting and SI, Web Design, Web Development - Project size: Confidential - Project length: Sep. 2025 - Feb. 2026 **Project Summary**: Chykalophia developed and designed an education company's website.
