BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the founder and CEO of The Virtual Classroom, an education company. We help students build confidence and mastery in reading and spelling so they can catch up and get ahead.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with ControlF5?

I needed help developing and launching a new website.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

ControlF5 handled the full website project from start to finish. The team began by designing the entire site layout and user experience in Figma, based on my vision and goals. Once the design was approved, they built the site in Go High Level (TutorBoss) to integrate with my CRM and automations.

ControlF5’s work included custom website design in Figma, a full site build in GHL, creating custom-coded sections where needed for layout and functionality, and setting up automated workflows and forms for lead generation and contact. The team also implemented SEO-friendly meta tags, responsiveness, and a clean, professional look.
I had several clear goals for the project: 

• Organize and clearly present both our Homeschool Hybrid and Tutoring Program
• Highlight our student success stories and credentials
• Make it easy for families to book consultations and access information about our offerings
• Build in Go High Level (TutorBoss) to integrate with our existing systems
• Optimize for SEO and ensure a mobile-friendly, professional design
• Reflect our brand colors and aesthetic to maintain a cohesive online presence

What is the team composition?

I worked with a team of three people from ControlF5 during the project.

How did you come to work with ControlF5?

I found ControlF5 on Upwork. The team had outstanding reviews on the platform. After our initial complimentary Zoom meeting, I felt confident they truly understood my vision and had the skills to bring it to life. I also appreciated that they made a free mockup for me before we moved forward with the contract. 

How much have you invested with them?

I spent $750 with ControlF5- $800+ with fees.

What is the status of this engagement?

The project lasted from late April–June 2025.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

They delivered a complete, functional, and branded website that reflects my business and supports future growth.
Since the website just launched recently, it’s a bit early to measure long-term outcomes like increased traffic or conversions. However, the design and functionality fully match the goals I set. The site is now much more professional, easy to navigate, and aligned with my brand.

Going forward, I plan to track how many people visit the site, how long they stay, and whether they complete actions like filling out a form or booking a call. I’ll also be watching for an increase in inquiries and enrollments that come directly through the website. In addition to data, I’m paying attention to feedback from families about how easy the site is to use and whether it clearly explains our programs.

How did ControlF5 perform from a project management standpoint?

ControlF5 initially quoted the project at 15 working days, but it ended up taking longer than expected. Some of the delay was on my end; I wasn’t always quick to provide feedback or copy. However, there were also some delays on their side. That said, the team stayed responsive throughout, and I never felt like the project was neglected. In the end, I didn’t mind the extra time because I was really happy with how the site turned out.

Our main form of communication was through the Upwork team chat, which made it easy to stay in touch and share updates. We also had a few Zoom meetings for walkthroughs and check-ins. I used Loom to send video feedback whenever I needed to explain something visually. Overall, it was a smooth and collaborative process.

What did you find most impressive about them?

What impressed me most about ControlF5 was their willingness to stick with the process until I was completely satisfied. I was pretty particular about a lot of design details, and they never pushed back. The team just kept making adjustments until everything looked and worked the way I envisioned. Their patience, flexibility, and commitment to getting it right really stood out.

Are there any areas they could improve?

One area for improvement would be setting clearer expectations around timelines and providing more proactive updates when delays happened. While I know some of the slowdown was on my end, there were times I would have appreciated more consistent check-ins from their side. That said, they were always responsive when I reached out, and in the end, the quality of the work made the extended timeline worth it.
