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

Digital Present delivered an end-to-end website build for the Progres Institute (progres.org.mk), covering both the visual design and the full technical implementation.

Scope of work

• Discovery and planning (structure, pages, user journeys)

• Full website development and deployment
• Content structuring and support with migrating/adding content
• Quality assurance (testing across devices/browsers) and final launch support

Key deliverables

• Clear site architecture and navigation (menus, page templates, consistent layout)
• Core pages and sections for: About/mission, programmes/activities, publications/resources, news/updates, and contact
• Admin-friendly setup so our team can easily update content
• Performance, security, and basic SEO foundations (clean structure, fast loading, metadata-ready setup)
• Launch + handover (working site live, with guidance/support for updates) 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

After Digital Present rebuilt progres.org.mk, we tracked the impact in Google Analytics and Search Console and saw clear, measurable improvements: in GA, organic sessions increased by 93% (comparing [january-november 2024] vs [january-november 2025]), engagement rate improved, and average engagement time rose.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Their project management was solid and well-structured. They set clear milestones, kept communication consistent, and delivered the key items on time. When we had feedback or new requests, they responded the same day, explained options in a practical way, and implemented changes without unnecessary back-and-forth. Overall, it felt reliable and easy to work with.

They delivered everything agreed (and more) and were responsive to feedback and fixes throughout. Pricing wasn’t the cheapest option, but the work was professional and they delivered beyond the basic scope. Smooth, professional collaboration from start to finish. 

What was your primary form of communication with Digital Present?

• In-Person Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

They didn’t just “build what we said”, they asked the right questions, spotted gaps early, and suggested improvements that made the website clearer and more usable. They were also very responsive and consistent, which made the whole process smooth and low-stress.

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

Overall, we’re very satisfied. If I had to name one area for improvement, it would be having an even more detailed written handover at the end (a short checklist or mini manual for updates, backups, and small content changes). They were responsive and helpful whenever we asked, but a slightly more structured post-launch guide would make it even easier for a team to onboard and maintain the site long-term.

Jennifer was very happy with them because she constantly got feedback from them, and they collaborated to get a lot of things done. To this day, they’re still very responsive.

How did Digital Present perform from a project management standpoint?

Digital Present performed very well. Jennifer had two-hour meetings with them once a week on Wednesdays to caught up on the project, and they kept track of bugs and issues that needed to be fixed.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am COO of a tech-enabled company that builds the fanbase in China for non-Chinese celebrities and monetizes the fan base through merchandise and endorsement deals.

We are Hq'd in Los Angeles and have offices in Colorado, New York, Seoul and Shanghai. I am responsible for all operations including digital products, branding, web and tech development.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Digital Present?

As a startup, we needed elite level branding collateral, inclusive of website, business cards, merchandise and so much more.

Since Digital Present has absolutely exceeded all expectation of the executive team, we are now increasing our engagement with them to include UI|UX for our mobile and web applications.

What were your goals for this project?

Branding and website that was eye-catching and immediately memorable.

SOLUTION

How did you select Digital Present?

I have worked with Digital Present in the past with another company. I was not a part of the decision making process on that last group but I was so impressed by their work that now I only go to them for design, UI/UX and dev work.

In fact I have several other businesses that I am a part of and ALL will use Digital Present moving forward.

Describe the project in detail.

We had a value proposition for a fledgling business that needed to have a wrap-around branding package that mad celebrities and investors alike believe we are the real deal. At first, we needed branding, website and pitch deck.

Digital Present was only given our business model and a very vague brief. What they came back with was beyond what we had allowed ourselves to hope for.

What was the team composition?

I worked directly with one project manager and other teammates came to assist here and there when questions arose.

Have a single interface point is hugely important to us as all I have to do is communicate with one person and everything gets handled on there end. Seamless and easy from my end.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Since beginning with Digital Present, we have raised $1.85M and secured 17 celebrity clients. Our investor pool and clients is a direct reflection of seeing our collateral and knowing we are a real company.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Easy as could be from my end. An email here, a WhatsApp there and everything gets done fast and efficiently. No complaints.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Simply, how easily they get what we want from design and websites given so little information. We are one of those annoying companies that knows what we don't like . . . but offers little in the way of solutions. The guys at Digital Present somehow intuit what we need and deliver.

Are there any areas for improvement?

In all honesty, my only fear with Digital Present is can they continue to scale to handle all my businesses! I actually don't love writing these reviews because I don't want to give away my best kept secret!

That said, the Digital Present Team has been so good to me over the years I genuinely want only the best for them and wish them every success. Solid crew, great personality, over deliver and under promise. They are gems.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

My company owns a portfolio of multiple digital properties spanning various niches.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Digital Present, and what were your goals?

We reached out to Digital Present to bring our vision of a niche social network to life. Since we don't have developers in-house it's customary for us to outsource development. We hired digital present to create a complex custom Wordpress platform that fit our desired needs.

SOLUTION

How did you select Digital Present and what were the deciding factors?

I reviewed Digital Presents previous work and discussed my project requirements. Their professionalism and willingness to go the extra mile was what made us sign on the dotted line. They were detailed, responsive, and had excellent communication skills.

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

This was a custom project built in PHP, JavaScript, CSS. My project started with Digital Present providing a proposal with detailed analysis and cost based on my requests. I was assigned a project manager and had a breakdown of milestones along with payment dates.

They were able to exceed my expectations by meeting deadlines within the agreed upon pricing structure.

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

We had an amazing project manager who was our main point of contact (Nenad) however the owner Ivan didn't hesitate to step in and communicate or clarify when necessary. Knowing that we had a solid team behind our project was a great stress relief.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

I was extremely happy with the final project. As well (this is important) when there were any bugs found the team was quick to address and fix them without hesitation. Keep in mind this was a complicated setup with encoding etc.

So having them able to troubleshoot, and rectify things was indispensable for a complex project.

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

Our communications took place via Skype and email. Despite us having a time difference they were able to communicate effortlessly and I was never left wondering. It almost felt like having an onsite team.

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

What I found most impressive about Digital Present was their ability to go beyond in customer service. Once we got deeper into deployment of our project we realized we needed server management and even though this was not part of their original offering they decided that they could extend this to us.

It helped us tremendously and that type of customer service can't be quantified by a dollar amount

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

I have to say they were excellent in all regards.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Digital Present, and what were your goals?

We hired Digital Present to bring our website into the modern era, with a full redesign. We had a very outdated site that was pieced together when we first started the business over four years ago.

We weren't proud of our website and it had long gone by its sell-by date, so needed a huge update and redesign to represent the new business we had become.

SOLUTION

How did you select Digital Present and what were the deciding factors?

We did our due diligence and spoke to a number of agencies to get an understanding of their core values, previous work and what they could offer us.

Digital Present stood out by far, not only on the professional level through their previous work, but also with the presentation they prepared and on a personal level also.

We felt they took time to understand our business, our vision and us as people. Their presentation for their concept for the website was spectacular and blew our socks away with the video to show how everything would come together.

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

As I'm not a tech guy, I wouldn't be able to speak to the technologies used. However, there was a clear project timeline, roadmap and milestones in place that were hit by Digital Present, with weekly meetings to share their progress and discuss design changes.

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

We had direct contact with the CEO and our Project Manager at all times. Whenever we had a question, they would be answered quickly and attended to.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

We couldn't be happier with our new website, Digitial Present have built something that will stand the test of time and we won't hesitate to use them again in the future for when we update the site next time.

They worked for hand in hand with our SEO agency to ensure the website was built in the correct way to drive the results we wanted. This has resulted in our monthly website traffic more than trembling in numbers and hundreds of enquiries every month.

When we speak to our clients, they continually praise the look and feel of our website, together with the ease of navigation and design!

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

Everything was communicated through emails and for quick answers there was a Whatsapp group for communication/feedback.

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

Their speed, reliability and knowledge were impressive. They were the perfect partner for this project.

I can't think of anything that could've been improved during the process.
