BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of Gtechpartners. We manage different websites for other people to help them grow their businesses.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with CODECLOUDS?

Every time we needed to make a change to a website, we had a hard time finding a developer who had the time to make those changes, so we decided to hire CODECLOUDS on a retainer basis so that we could make changes faster.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

CODECLOUDS ongoingly helps us with our client’s web development and design projects and tasks. Some tasks take them a couple of hours to complete, and other projects take them 1–2 weeks. Their services also include performing website maintenance tasks and API and third-party site integrations to ensure those sites run smoothly.

In addition to our client-facing projects, CODECLOUDS has also been involved in developing and maintaining our business website. We want our website to help us convert well, and we need to ensure our Google Analytics and other third-party integrations are working correctly. Thus, CODECLOUDS has been in charge of making sure all of that happens.

What is the team composition?

CODECLOUDS’ team varies depending on who’s available to perform the tasks at any given moment. We usually work with around 10 people from their team on and off, including a project manager and a person who decides who’s going to perform what based on their different skill levels.

How did you come to work with CODECLOUDS?

A friend recommended them while I was trying to find a development partner with whom I could do consistent work. After calling them and understanding what they did and how they did it, I immediately hired them.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent around $75,000.

I’ve been working with CODECLOUDS for a little less than two years. We started working together around December 2020, and our engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? 

Since I started working with CODECLOUDS, I’ve seen my business grow by well over 200% and cut my web development and maintenance costs by half. Additionally, the quality of their work is outstanding, and they’re very professional. I rarely have to make corrections because they take the time to review their work. Our clients are also very satisfied with their work and designs, which has ultimately helped us increase our conversions every year.

How did CODECLOUDS perform from a project management standpoint?

CODECLOUDS project management is excellent, and they usually beat deadlines. They’re also very easy to communicate with, which makes me feel confident. Whenever I reach out to them, I know I’ll get an answer in a short period of time. Moreover, they’re very good at communicating about days off or holidays.

We mainly communicate in two ways. For little things, we use Telegram, but for more important things and project management, we use monday.com. I usually put tasks on monday.com for them to see and respond to.

CODECLOUDS is very professional and keeps their word — I wish there were more companies like them. Their team constantly ensures to stay on top of the latest technologies and design methodologies in order to make our websites work well.

No, I can’t think of anything they could improve.

I’m the chief operator of a skincare company. We just launched on e-commerce, and we're selling plant stem cell-based products, such as serums, moisturizers, eye creams, and exfoliators.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with CODECLOUDS?

We originally worked with a different company that we had contracted to do our website. We weren’t happy with the site they built; it had a lot of issues and was still incomplete. Hence, we reached out to CODECLOUDS to have them finish it.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

CODECLOUDS has been helping us not only complete the website but also provide troubleshooting and get rid of all the little kinks that they find along the way. They’re tweaking, redesigning, and replacing a lot of text and images, as well as sorting out all the features, including payment processing and subscription. One of the major issues we originally had was that the view on the desktop to mobile wasn't lining up the same way. Another issue is that the size of the images, especially on the main page, wasn't demonstrated properly.

Moreover, their team has implemented stuff that we wanted and didn't get a chance to do with the original designers. The site is built on the WooCommerce platform.

What is the team composition?

We have constant communication with two people from their side, but I know they have a team of five people working behind the scenes.

They were referred to us by someone who had worked with them before. We reached out to them and went back and forth to make sure that they were capable of doing the work we needed.

How much have you invested with them?

We have spent around $7,000.

What is the status of the engagement?

We began our partnership in July 2022, and it’s still ongoing. They’ve completed most of the work, so we're now on a maintenance plan with them.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? 

All the tasks that we assigned to CODECLOUDS have been completed on time, and we're very happy with their work; we have no complaints. We’ve gone live about a month and a half ago, and we are advertising on Facebook right now. We’ve also seen improvements in the number of our sales and subscriptions.

How did CODECLOUDS perform from a project management standpoint?

They're always on top of everything, and they make sure that we're constantly on the same page as to what the current issue is or what task they’re working on. Also, once they get a task, they complete it in a pretty reasonable time. For communication, we use Telegram, email, Zoom, and Google Meet.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We’re impressed with their expertise and knowledge in dealing with all of the different issues that we have. They’re very efficient, and their services are very affordable as well.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Everything has worked out pretty well despite the difference in time zones. There’ve been some issues regarding some of the payment processing, but it's not their fault.

Any advice for potential customers?

You have to be very clear with them and make sure that you're very specific about your goals.

They were a pleasure to work with. They were always very accommodating and got the job done in a timely manner.

They then made a proposal based on those samples while keeping in mind our budget and other requirements.

The platform is a dashboard where buyers and freelancers can post jobs, communicate, and hire services, among other things.

I don't know how to create or setup marketing sites. They Do and Did that for me. Im not sure how to integrate my marketing site with CRMs. They Do and Did that for me.

So when I need someone to take care of the technical side of things I go to my reps at CodeClouds and they get it done for me.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

 I’m a partner at an IT company. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with CODECLOUDS?

We’d had several failed dev partnerships in the past and needed an agency to build an end-to-end software solution.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We’d developed an initial wireframe for the app and gave the specs to CODECLOUDS to begin the dev. They did custom coding for the backend and had dev, QA, and production environments. The app is hosted on AWS. End clients can use the app to streamline their RFP process, condensing the creation, distribution, and tabulation of RFPs all into one program. The software is written in a manner to have the ability to expand into the private sector and also be white labeled.

What is the team composition?

We had two main points of contact, but the overall team was probably around eight people.

How did you come to work with CODECLOUDS?

We found CODECLOUDS online. We’d picked the wrong company many times before and were wary about an overseas partner, but their price was competitive, so we gave them a small pilot project. Their work was the highest quality we’d seen from any of our former dev partners, so we extended the relationship.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent between $75,000–$100,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We partnered in May 2017, and the work is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

We’re a small company with limited funds, but when people see the app, they think we spent much more on it than we actually did—that’s how high quality it is. People are blown away by the UX and how the app makes the complicated RFP process so simple.

How did CODECLOUDS perform from a project management standpoint?

We have daily standup meetings with at least two people from their team. We use Trello to track our progress and can always reach them on Skype, if needed. Whenever we have a problem, they quickly respond to resolve it as soon as possible.

What did you find most impressive about them?

During the beginning of our engagement, we realized our wireframes weren’t 100% complete, but CODECLOUDS didn’t charge us extra to finish them up. They walked us through the app development process and were upfront about their expectations, price, and limitations. They don’t just listen to our problems but also do their best to fix them.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They just need to continue to mature and listen to their customers.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

Stay engaged with the project and keep the lines of communication open.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire CODECLOUDS?

In order to open new merchant identification numbers, we needed to create unique, independent bank sites. We have 30 merchant identification numbers overall, so we needed 30 new bank sites.

What were your goals for this project?

We wanted all 30 sites to be completed as soon as possible, with each site holding a different score of products, company information, and text, as well as a different look and layout.

SOLUTION

CODECLOUDS came highly recommended by a mutual business affiliate. Our CEO had a phone meeting with the team and agreed to trial the service.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

First, we set out the specifications for the project. Each site needed to have a different configuration of products and relevant text. Also, at least one product should be named after the site domain. We provided a variety of information (e.g. domains, images, product descriptions, and company information), which the team included in the websites.

What was the team composition?

We worked with a developer every day. We generally dealt with the same people throughout the project.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?

We have been able to submit merchant identification number applications for five companies, providing us with 15 merchant identification numbers in total so far. Results have happened much quicker than we initially thought they would.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

We communicate via Skype or Email, and we provide commentary as the sites are developed. Skype is for general questions, and email is for tasks. All email chains are well monitored, and all of our questions are answered or executed on quickly. The sites are created through an El Minara CMS. Their effective working style has enabled them to create one website per day.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

They work quickly and efficiently. Whenever we give feedback, they implement the correction quickly and don't repeat the issue. There has been no task too big or too small for them.

Are there any areas for improvement?

There aren't many ways their service could be improved.

The unparalleled synergy between our teams has allowed my business to experience exponential growth in a very short amount of time. Using their services, I've taken my clients’ businesses from no revenue to seven figures.

My clients do DTC product sales online, which requires a lot of backend support. CODECLOUDS makes this a seamless process because they’re development experts. It's great. They go above and beyond in providing services for our clients.

Their process is very effective because they have coding capacity to fulfill all of our needs.

Their consistency and dedication stand out. They cycle through their work repeatedly without any signs of slowing down. They are well-organized, well-staffed, and well-run.
