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

• Page speed scores: Our previous website had a score of 85+ in Google PageSpeed Insights (https://pagespeed.web.dev/) on both desktop and mobile. This was achieved through a lot of hard coding, which made the site not easy to manage. We therefore wanted the new WordPress website to be properly developed to industry standards and have the same or higher page speed scores than the old website for the homepage, product pages and solution pages.
• Multilingual website: Our previous website had 2 languages (English and German). As part of the new development, we wanted to add 28 new languages to the website with the help of the automatic translation service DeepL.
• E-commerce: We wanted to develop an e-commerce site with single-page shopping functionality that would allow customers to purchase subscription products. Our store also needed a multi-currency option.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Completion of a new multilingual WordPress e-commerce website with WPML translation plugin and successful implementation of 28 new languages on our WordPress website via DeepL Automatic Translation. All objectives in terms of page speed scores were met.

The good gut feeling we had with Sankar, Rajeev and their team from the beginning was never disappointed. The collaboration with them went exceptionally well. They provided the absolute best service for us; we could rely on them, and they became like a part of our company. 

At all meetings, communication was always smooth and easy. We never had the feeling that we were talking past each other, on the contrary, Sankar, Rajeev and his team were always on the same wavelength with us. They understood our needs without us having to explain much. We can wholeheartedly recommend Colorwhistle to any customer without any ifs, buts or doubts.

We can't think of any.

We were impressed with their ability to listen to the functions we wanted our plug-in to have and deliver a product that did exactly that. When I started doing my research into different companies that offered plugin development services, I narrowed down my list to 3 companies. 

It was very obvious to me that ColorWhistle listened to me and UNDERSTOOD what I was trying to achieve right off the bat based on the detailed quote they sent me. It's not everyday you find a company that can take your idea, or vision, and make it come to fruition flawlessly. I couldn't be happier that I chose ColorWhistle to develop our custom plugin!!

Absolutely NOT. They were an absolute pleasure to work with.
