Core Mobile App Development

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the owner of UYP Basketball Academy. A basketball program based out of Irvine, CA with more that 300 youth participating.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Core Mobile App Development?

We hired Core Mobile to develop our first mobile application.

What were your goals for this project?

Our goal is to provide every basketball player across the globe with the resources and tools for them to become the best they could be.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

I did some research online and via social media.

Describe the project in detail.

The Core Media team came up with some mock ups which I really liked right away. They redesigned my logo to a way better one. They provided design and development, and support.

They guided me through every step of the application process for both Apple and Android. They were very responsive to any questions and concerns all throughout the project. Very helpful and willing to respond to any requests. Every deadline was met and we were always on ahead of schedule.

What was the team composition?

President William and VP Michael were always communicating directly with me and I always felt comfortable reaching out to them as well.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

I've gotten great feedback. I expect to have a lot of downloads within days from launch.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Very effective workflow. Everything was in written and we kept track of everything on google sheets. The Core team responded very quickly to any concerns or requests.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Very easy to communicate with them, professional, effective, and skilled. Overall great.

Are there any areas for improvement?

No areas for improvement. We're looking forward to working with them again on our next app update.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

We're an online natural supplement retailer, and I'm the CEO of the company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Core Mobile App Development?

We needed help with web development.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Core Mobile does a lot of our development work. They host, do custom development for our site, and a bit of social media marketing. They still manage our website services and do advertising as well.

What is the team composition?

I primarily work with Will (Owner, Core Mobile App Development).

How did you come to work with Core Mobile App Development?

I was introduced to Will through a colleague that had worked with them before.

How much have you invested with them?  

We've spent approximately $70,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We began working together in February 2019, and our engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

They built our site in just two weeks, which was incredible. I would argue that it was much better than a separate site I had made over a few months for a separate company. They've exceeded our expectations on development and timeline and delivery.

Their customer service has been great, too. All of our feedback is really positive. There are always things that we need to revise for certain guidelines and compliance; anytime we need to do something like that Will and his team are on top of it.

On the social media side, our advertisements seem to be working. Our expectations are certainly being met. We're in a really fragmented market and we have to temper our expectations on ROI. As far as content goes, they're doing a great job.

How did Core Mobile App Development perform from a project management standpoint?

It's the easiest project management I've ever been through. When I talk to him on the phone or even just send him a text with something I need, he'll make it happen. Whatever's going on the backend, it's fast and efficient. The delivery has always exceeded our expectations.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The quality of work that comes out at an accelerated timeline has been great. It just surprises me how efficient everything is. As I said, they're always exceeding my expectations with efficiency and premium quality.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, I honestly couldn't criticize them at all. They've done a really good job so far and have been hitting 100% of everything we've asked for. I can't complain.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

My advice is to hurry up and hire them now! I don't see them getting less busy providing the level of customer service and quality.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a Director of Sales Marketing for Stone Group. We import decorative stone for architectural projects.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Core Mobile App Development?

We wanted to come up with a brand identity that brought together all the complexities of our business. We also wanted a website.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Core Mobile App Development helped us develop the message we wanted to portray to our market, and built and designed a website that reflected that identity.

The website, built on WordPress, features all of our social media platforms and associate trade websites as well.

The team also worked to improve our position in our local market.

What is the team composition?

We worked with about three people. Our primary contact was Will (Owner, Core Mobile App Development), who functioned as our project manager. We also had a copywriter and a graphic designer.

How did you come to work with Core Mobile App Development?

We found Core Mobile App Development online and noticed how great their reviews were. We met with two other companies, but we were impressed by Will’s proposed approach, direction, and timeline.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent around $8,500 on this project.

What is the status of this engagement?

Our project took place from June-November 2016. However, we’ve since contacted Core Mobile App Development for other engagements.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Our relevant inbound calls increased by about 20% after our engagement with Core Mobile App Development.

How did Core Mobile App Development perform from a project management standpoint?

The team is very responsive, and they have a high level of organization. At the start of our partnership, Core Mobile App Development set up a list of action items and key dates they needed us to provide in order to nail down the timeline.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Core Mobile App Development works as a collaborative network. The team has a wide breadth of knowledge that ranges from design to development. The expertise they bring changes the dynamic of the partnership for the better.

Are there any areas they could improve?

We would’ve loved if the team could’ve been local rather than remote, but it’s not a negative in terms of the quality of their work. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Have an outline of the direction you’d like to go in and the outcomes you’d like to see at the end of the project. When you bring organization to a creative team like Core Mobile App Development, they’ll be able to execute quickly and in line with what you want.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the President of Studio Stratton Inc. We are a high end kitchen design and retail cabinet sales firm in San Diego.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Core Mobile App Development?

Our web site was cumbersome and out of date. I wanted something that was current, and that would be interesting and easy to navigate for our customers.

What were your goals for this project?

We wanted our customers to understand the diversity of our service offerings and talents. We have a significant investment in photography that we wanted to showcase, and we wanted our customers to be able to quickly link to our client reviews on design sites and social media.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

I found them I believe on Linked in.... they had posted an offer that sounded interesting and it went from there. I interviewed several firms and selected Core Media Concepts because of the palpable excitement they exhibited for my business and their confidence in being able to meet my needs.

Describe the project in detail.

The assignment was to develop a web site that was easy to navigate and that remained informative. I was very concerned about the "voice" of all the verbiage. I was insistent that it sounded intelligent in every respect. I had a lot of content, but I needed some excellent organisation of that info. I also needed the site to be "now".. current and relevant.

What was the team composition?

I worked with Will and Michael both depending on what needed to be done. It seems as though will was the visionary and Michael more implementation.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

I was very happy with the results. Our web site is very well received by our customers and I am proud to have it representing our firm. We have seen dramatic growth in our business over the last two years, and I can attribute much of that to our web site and public image. Many customers have visited our site before ever calling in, and I am very impressed that they have read so much of the information that it contains. That speaks directly to one of our core desires for the site... that it be compelling and easy to navigate.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

I would say that i was likely a difficult, or at least particular customer. I had many revision and tweaks that I needed and they were always accommodating. They kept me on track by providing deadlines for the content that they needed from me. Also, I have done two major updates to the info since its launch and they have been great about getting that posted and running in a timely manor.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

The energy and excitement they had for my business and my success is simply unmatched. They were willing to work hard, and they listened to me and my very detailed instructions.

Are there any areas for improvement?

No, I can't say anything needs improvement. They did a great job.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Core Mobile App Development?

Our goal was to relaunch the app with the above improvements as quickly as possible while keeping our costs reasonable.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

After interviewing several potential vendors, Core Mobile App Development stood out in terms of speed and flexibility. They also demonstrated strong comprehension of our project goals and exceeded our expectations about what they’d be able to do for us.

Describe the project in detail.

Their team worked very quickly and had a clear understanding of the information we provided about the project. They updated the design and interface and added our current products to the available options. Additionally, our original developer had only built an iOS product for us, so one of their other major tasks was to create a version for our Android users.

Our in-house team worked with three of their developers.

The project was completed within six weeks, which exceeded our expectations.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I am one of the IT deacons for Southside Church of Christ, a non-profit church organization that works to enrich our community and spread the gospel. We are also an outreach ministry and are looking to join the global market. I am responsible for managing some of the technology within our church.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Core Mobile App Development?

We had a minimal website with only three pages and our technology-use, in general, was very minimal. We wanted to build an app to get a better footprint in the global market and to help develop our church’s social network.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Cord Mobile first talked to us to discuss what our app needed and what kind of features we wanted. They took our ideas and developed our app for Android and iOS with networking, administrative, and push notification features.

They also gave us a lot of guidance on building our branding strategy and helped us develop a new logo. After everything was ready, they visited our church to launch the app.

What is the team composition?

We primarily worked with two account managers, but I know they had a team of developers in the background.

How did you come to work with Core Mobile App Development?

I found them online, saw great reviews, and sent them an inquiry. They responded right away, and we discussed our needs. One of their account managers working locally and their great upfront service were what made us decide to go with them.

How much have you invested with them?

We have invested $20,000 in the engagement.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them in January 2017 through April 2018.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

When the app launched, users downloaded it over 300 times over one weekend. It has flourished to over 600 downloads and fewer people started to use our website because the app is more responsive and easily available. We received great feedback from our congregation about how convenient the app is. The app made it easier for us to keep our congregation updated on events and easily sent out notifications about canceled events.

For a nonprofit with a tight budget, the app and their work on it has been fantastic for our organization.

How did Core Mobile App Development perform from a project management standpoint?

They were always available and are very responsive. Any time I had an issue, they were always talking to us about how to fix it. They delivered everything on time and quickly addressed any errors.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I said this earlier, but I want to say it again—they were always available. They took care of all my needs. Their customer service was amazing, even though we were one of their smaller clients.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, I don’t see anything they can improve so far.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Be open to their suggestions. Let them lead you because they know what they’re doing.
