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

We wanted a website for our company, Ireland Virtual Office, a virtual office solutions provider. After discussing our goals, we decided on a primarily marketing-focused website that would integrate Stripe Checkout for purchasing virtual office plans and connect with our CRM, Nexudus. The entire process was handled very smoothly and efficiently, and the turnaround time was excellent. We were really impressed with how quickly everything came together and how seamless the overall experience was.

Virtual Meeting

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

What truly sets this company apart is their exceptional ability to understand the problem statement and the ‘why’ behind any project before diving into the ‘how.’ From the very beginning, they demonstrated a deep focus on understanding not just the technical requirements but also the underlying business goals, challenges, and the purpose of the application. This ensured that every solution they developed was impactful, purposeful, and aligned with our vision.

Their ownership mindset was equally impressive—they treated our project as if it were their own, carefully evaluating each decision and managing resources thoughtfully, as though they were investing their own time and money.

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

Have hired Ditstek for two phases of our project:

-Phase 1 is to design and map our mobile and web applications. This includes support from UI/UX as well as solid understanding of the Influencer/UGC space and attention to detail of the userflow. -Phase 2 is to build each of these variables according to the blueprints established in Phase 1

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The team very clearly understood the vision we had of the app and has supported that vision with valuable insight, queries and creativity of their own. They've been communicative and extremely fast to respond, as well as quick to deliver work. User flows haven't taken more than 2-3 rounds of light editing, and all steps have been well-thought out. Additionally, the team is extremely detail-oriented and has not missed or forgotten any elements discussed.

Our Phase 1 is nearing completion and we are extremely happy with the output, as well as impressed with the speed at which it was completed

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

Ditstek is extremely quick to deliver on agreed upon materials. We have met twice a week (although we were offered the option to meet every day), and there are always more than an hour's worth of updates and materials to review in each meeting. Addtionally, we receive daily communication with all updates and statuses. There is clearly progress being made each day

What was your primary form of communication with Ditstek Innovations?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

We were expecting to need to reiterate points or carefully explain the vision and branding. Ditstek is shockingly good at immediately understanding what you're trying to express - even when you mention small details in passing - and then bringing that to life. We didn't have a single moment where we felt unheard or misunderstood.

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

I would recommend that the team collects any details that their clients have on the item being developed prior to the first meeting - Ditstek was incredible in hitting the ground running with concepts, branding, and mockups, but hadn't realized we had already done some of this leg work prior to working with them. Very useful as a client if you have no idea what you want your idea to look like - but could save them some time to check this first!
