Working with DevOcean on my custom website project was a seamless experience, largely due to their outstanding project management approach. From the very beginning, their team demonstrated a clear, organized process that kept the project on track and ensured all deliverables were met on time.

On-Time Delivery:
DevOcean provided a detailed project timeline during the initial planning phase, breaking down each milestone from design to development, testing, and final launch. I was genuinely impressed by their ability to adhere to this schedule. Every phase of the project was completed on or even ahead of time, allowing me to plan my business activities around the launch with confidence.

Proactive Communication:
One of the standout aspects of working with DevOcean was their communication. They maintained regular updates through weekly check-ins, sharing progress, discussing upcoming tasks, and addressing any challenges proactively. Whether through email, scheduled calls, or quick messages, I always felt in the loop and never had to chase them for information.

Responsiveness to My Needs:
DevOcean’s team took the time to understand my vision and goals for the website. They were not only receptive to my feedback but also encouraged it, making me feel like a true collaborator in the process. When I needed adjustments or had new ideas, they responded promptly and implemented changes quickly without hesitation.

Problem Solving & Flexibility:
During development, a few unexpected challenges arose (as they often do in tech projects), but DevOcean handled them with professionalism and agility. Instead of presenting problems, they brought forward solutions, explaining my options clearly and guiding me toward the best decisions.

Attention to Detail:
The team demonstrated a meticulous eye for detail. Whether it was refining design elements or ensuring every feature worked perfectly, their thorough testing and quality assurance process left no stone unturned.

What Impressed Me Most About DevOcean
Working with DevOcean was a genuinely refreshing experience, and several aspects of their approach stood out to me:

1. A Perfect Blend of Creativity and Technical Skill:
DevOcean managed to combine innovative design with robust technical development seamlessly. They didn’t just build a functional website; they created a digital experience that is both visually stunning and incredibly user-friendly. Their ability to think outside the box while maintaining a strong technical foundation is a rare find.

2. Exceptional Communication & Collaboration:
The team at DevOcean treated me as a partner rather than just a client. They maintained open lines of communication throughout the project, providing regular updates and proactively seeking my input. This collaborative approach made me feel valued and involved every step of the way.

3. Solutions-Oriented Mindset:
Every project has its challenges, and ours was no exception. What impressed me most was how DevOcean approached obstacles with a positive, solutions-driven attitude. Instead of focusing on the problem, they presented clear options and well-thought-out solutions, keeping the project on track without compromising quality.

4. Commitment to Quality:
DevOcean’s attention to detail was impeccable. Whether it was refining a design element, ensuring seamless functionality, or conducting thorough testing, they demonstrated a level of care and precision that gave me total confidence in the final product.

5. Going the Extra Mile:
What truly set DevOcean apart was their willingness to go above and beyond. They didn’t just meet my expectations—they exceeded them. From suggesting new features that enhanced my website’s performance to offering post-launch support and training, they consistently added value at every stage of the project.

6. Passion for Their Work:

Are there any areas for improvement or something DevOcean could have done differently?

Areas for Improvement: Constructive Feedback for DevOcean
While my experience with DevOcean was overwhelmingly positive, there are always opportunities for growth and improvement. These are not deal-breakers by any means but rather small suggestions that could make an already excellent service even better:

1. More Proactive Updates:
Although the communication was generally strong, there were moments when I would have appreciated more frequent, proactive updates, especially during longer development phases. A quick weekly recap, even if just to confirm that everything was on track, would have provided additional peace of mind.

2. More Detailed Onboarding for the CMS:
DevOcean provided training on the custom Content Management System (CMS), which was incredibly helpful. However, a more detailed onboarding session or a quick-start guide could have accelerated my learning curve. A few written or video tutorials on managing specific tasks within the CMS would have been a great added touch.

3. Budget Transparency During Add-Ons:
During the project, a few additional features were proposed. While I appreciated the creativity and suggestions, having more detailed information upfront about the potential impact on the budget would have helped with decision-making. A bit more clarity around the costs of optional add-ons could benefit future projects.

4. Slightly Faster Response Time:
The team was always responsive, but there were a few instances where it took longer than expected to get answers to specific technical questions. While these instances were rare, quicker responses in such scenarios would enhance the overall experience.

We wanted to create a CRM system to calculate the profitability of our business and optimize the necessary processes.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

This company was recommended to me by a friend who was working with them on another project and he was satisfied to work with them, so I chose DevOcean.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

The team developed the terms of reference, it took enough time, because it was necessary to think over the logic of the system well, so that everything was correct, and the guys successfully coped with it.

Then we began to develop a design, they threw off several options for me, and chose the most suitable one. Then the guys recommended using Laravel and Vue.js technologies and started working on creating my system. Every Tuesday and Friday, we called, and they provided a report on the work done.

I liked that I was always aware of the stages of creating my product. It's a big system, but the guys got it done relatively quickly. And most importantly, I was bribed by their price, since I had previously been in dialogue with several companies, and the price was much higher than DevOcean offered. In general, I'm satisfied.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

3 developers, a project manager, and a designer worked on my project. Altogether 5 people.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

I liked working with them, they approached my project professionally, kept me informed of every stage, and kept the deadlines, in the end, I got the result that I wanted.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

The manager was always in touch and ready to answer all my questions about the project. The project was delivered on time and didn't have any problems.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

They were honest, accessible, and easy to work with.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

I will recommend DevOcean company and I don't have any suggestions. My project with them went with a bang.

We were introduced by a friend at a conference. These guys offered to make a website for me to scale my business online.

They designed the design for me and then made the website. Technologies: WordPress, Woocomerce

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

As far as I remember, 4 people worked on my project: a project manager, a designer, and two developers.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

I liked their work. They always kept me informed, took into account all my wishes for design and in a short time made me an online store, which now brings me income. I'm glad I worked with these guys.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

Communication with these guys is a pleasure. I did not have time to think, as the Project Manager wrote to me, at what stage is my site. I liked that the guys gave me a link to my site when it was just being developed, I could go to it and see what was done at the moment. The site was made in a little more than 2 months, as agreed.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Probably the fact that the guys professionally approached my site. The fact that they were always in touch with me, answered all my questions, and when they handed over the site, they taught me how to use the site. This guys are not just done and forgotten, they really love their work and clients, I felt that I was not the only one interested in growing my business. They put in a lot of effort, and I really appreciated that.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

It's been half a year and I'm still happy with my site, so I think they did everything right.
