They impress with their flexibility, customer-centric approach, and ability to deliver great work quickly. ""We're impressed with the way they adapt to our needs and provide whatever we need."" **BACKGROUND** Please describe your company and position. I am the Product Owner E-commerce of M&M e-commerce B.V. Describe what your company does in a single sentence. We are the market leader in the Netherlands for mobile devices covers, accessories and similar products. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What specific goals or objectives did you hire GoMage to accomplish? Expand our internal development capacity within the Dutch borders Improve on CWV related matters Optimize performance in general Build new features or improve existing ones **SOLUTION** How did you find GoMage? Other Why did you select GoMage over others? Pricing first our budget, Great culture fit, Good value for cost, Other What was the size of GoMage’s team? 6-10 Employees Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables. We already had a big M2 project up and running for which we already worked with another party in The Netherlands for SLA purposes and also have an internal development team (M2 and dev-ops) for creating new features, maintenance and optimisation. In order to meet our business goals we wanted to speed things up and grow even faster. At the same time we faced sitespeed and CWV related issues where GoMages experience proves very important. So essentially we use GoMage for more or less the same things as we do internally, where the focus for them is on sitespeed and CWV and building/optimizing (new) features. We started the project by sharing all the relevant knowledge about the internal delivery process and technical setup. Once they were ready with that they could immediately start working on actual stories we had in our backlog. Within a month we could already release the first stories to production. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success? Improvements in our CWV metrics New features for A/B testing or building winning tests into the project Fixed bugs for issues that had become a bit of a technical debt (before GoMage started on our project) Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs? GoMage has people working dedicated to our project, so that communication runs smoothly and overhead costs are minimized. I’m impressed by the professional standards they set in their way of managing our project and plannings and for example having effective retrospectives that really make an impact. We run two-weekly sprints internally to which they have adapted with the GoMage teammates and their project tracking tools, so that we did not have to change our internal process. What was your primary form of communication with GoMage? Virtual Meeting, Email or Messaging App What did you find most impressive or unique about this company? We're impressed with the way they adapt to our needs and provide whatever we need in terms of the process of working, but also provide the type of work we want them to deliver. In challenging times with several global uncertainties they still are able to continuously deliver. Are there any areas for improvement or something GoMage could have done differently? Nothing special comes to mind immediately. Like in every project - especially in the beginning - not everything can be perfect all at once, but every minor hiccup we had (not many) was addressed quickly and professionally. By defining points for improvement in retrospectives quality continues to improve. --- #### Magento Web Upgrade for Sporting Goods Online Retailer **The Project** - Project size: $50,000 to $199,999 - Project length: Aug. 2022 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: GoMage has developed a Magento e-commerce website for a sporting goods online retail company. They have upgraded the site to a newer version to create a better customer experience and increase sales. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 4.5 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** E-Commerce System Manager, Concourse Team Express - Industry: Other industries - Client size: 51-200 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Mar 3, 2023 **Feedback Summary**: Page speed and conversion rates have improved significantly thanks to GoMage. The team’s consistent communication, responsiveness, and transparency make them a valuable partner. Overall, they deliver on time, stay within budget, and manage the project well using YouTrack, Slack, and Google Meet. ""Their organization and communication are outstanding. We’re always able to see the progress after each step."" **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I’m the e-commerce systems manager for Concourse Team Express. We’re one of the oldest online retailers of sports equipment. We do many sports, but our brand and butter are baseball and softball. In general, I handle the technology component of the business; I have a hand in each step of the ordering process. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with GoMage? We worked with other Magento-specific developers and had mediocre experiences. Overall, our main challenge was that our site was an old Magento version; we needed to get to Magento 2.4 as soon as we could. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? When we first engaged GoMage, they did a discovery phase to identify common problems. We sent them our database and code, and they looked through it and came up with an action plan outlining the steps to get us to the newer version. GoMage has developed our retail website. They’ve upgraded the site to create a better customer experience and make more sales. Users can shop by brand shop, navigate the site, select items, and purchase them with a credit card, PayPal, or Amazon Pay. We currently do some of the maintenance in-house. However, if it’s a more challenging Magento issue, we turn over to GoMage to do the maintenance work; they do 95% development work and 5% maintenance. What is the team composition? We’ve worked with a project manager. Additionally, we’ve had about five teammates involved directly or indirectly throughout the project. How did you come to work with GoMage? One of our supervisors had a good experience and relationship with one of GoMage’s key people; he recommended them. Also, they were definitely more affordable than some development houses we used in the past, and their quality was even better. How much have you invested with them? So far, we’ve spent around $50,000. What is the status of this engagement? We started working with them in August 2022, and our relationship is ongoing. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? The best metric is our average page speed; we were at eight seconds per page, and now we’re at three. Also, our conversion rates have increased by 15%. We were hoping for more, but our basis of comparison was skewed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the supply chain crisis we went through. How did GoMage perform from a project management standpoint? GoMage has met the deadlines and stayed within budget. They initially gave us an estimate; they’ve stuck to it and delivered what they promised. The team uses YouTrack for project management and a combination of Slack and Google Meet for communication. What did you find most impressive about them? Their organization and communication are outstanding. We’re always able to see the progress after each step, and they communicate how much it’ll cost in advance. Overall, GoMage does an excellent job ensuring we’re all on the same page. When they need more input from us, they manage us too. Are there any areas they could improve? Nothing comes off the top of my head. Not all the deployments have been perfect, but GoMage has always delivered within the margins of what we consider acceptable. Do you have any advice for potential customers? Make sure you’re staying up to date with the daily tickets in the portal. You must ask questions, do your part, and put in the effort to be a good customer. Otherwise, the communication will break down, and they’ll deliver something you didn’t want because you didn’t communicate effectively with them. --- #### E-Commerce Website Dev for Auto Detailing Products Provider **The Project** - Services: E-Commerce Development - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: Dec. 2021 - May 2022 **Project Summary**: GoMage was tapped to update the website of an auto detailing products shop.

They were skilled, reliable, and timely. ""They delivered any custom modifications that we asked for."" **BACKGROUND** Please describe your company and your position there. I am CEO and we are resellers of detailing products. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** For what projects/services did your company hire GoMage, and what were your goals? We created our site 10 years ago and we needed a major update. We hired GoMage to develop a new ecommerce solution on Magento. Migrating data from the old database was a key factor as well. **SOLUTION** How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors? Previous projects and their Magento expertise were taken into consideration. The decisive factor though was their true excitement to handle the project. Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used. After the initial meeting, we created the required steps to follow on youtrack. GoMage installed Magento in developer mode where we could start working on. Data migration from old database, theme installation and refinements, checkout page, payment & shipping methods, VAT configuration are the major issues we took care of. How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions? The team consisted of eight people. Head of PMO, Account manager, , Business Analyst, Project manager, backend developer, frontend developer, manual engineer, Devops Engineer. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables? UI, speed, ease of use are just some of the points that we got positive feedback, both from clients and our team working on the backend. Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness. There was daily communication about current tasks and about any delays. We were communicating via Slack and project management was done via Youtrack. What did you find most impressive or unique about this company? They delivered any custom modifications that we asked for. We liked their thorough testing as well. Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently? Some custom functionalities needed further clarifications but they are always willing to hear and deliver the task until you are satisfied. --- #### Magento Web Maintenance for Business Software Dev Company **The Project** - Services: E-Commerce Development - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: Oct. 2021 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: A business software developer partnered with GoMage to maintain and enhance a customer's platform, which hosts over 2,000 Magento websites.

Business Geeks, Inc, is a technology consulting company specializing in Magento development and AWS infrastructure management. I am a Magento Certified Solution Architect and Consultant at Business Geeks, Inc. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** For what projects/services did your company hire GoMage, and what were your goals? GoMage was hired to help maintain and build new functionality for a client that manages more than 2000 Magento stores on its hosting platform. The goals were based on small maintenance needs, with the additional ability to utilize GoMage knowledge to enhance the base Magento sites with new features over time. **SOLUTION** How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors? GoMage came to the table with a package that was perfect for what we needed. They had a project management layer that we needed in a partner. Most development companies will require hard minimums, but GoMage was able to build a flexible package for us — one that allowed us to submit tickets, and we could be flexible on timing, and they could resource with some flexibility. Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used. We decided on a couple key features that the team would work on. We got integrated with their ticketing system, had a few knowledge share meetings with their technical team. The feature development was completed as planned, and additional tickets and work were defined. One of the more recent project tasks that was completed was a distributed data import system, where data could be imported to each of the 2000 stores automatically from one centralized data repository. Giving the merchandizers to provide files that can be picked up by each store. How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions? There is a project manager, a technical lead, and 2 Magento developers. They have done really well at keeping coverage during holidays and vacations for their team. e.g. There are actually 2 project managers that I have worked with, because they tag team for each other. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables? The flexible nature of the collaboration has been great for these types of projects where I don't need dedicated resources. This is been the most valuable part for us and the client. Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness. We have had good success with their ticketing system, Slack for conversations and updates, and video calls when necessary. The response time for any questions has never been a problem. They have generally responded either that day, or early the next. What did you find most impressive or unique about this company? The project structure is well done. The fact that I can get a slice of a project manager, a slice of the technical lead, and the hours I need of the developer, has been a deal maker. Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

The company is already selling products through the new platform without having started any marketing, which they take as an indicator of the PWAs positive performance. ""GoMage’s expertise on PWA is outstanding."" **BACKGROUND** Please describe your company and your position there. I’m the Direct to Consumer Website (DTC) Manager at Bradshaw International. We are proud to be the number one brand in kitchen and gadgets, cookware, metal bakeware in food channels in the US market. Our company has over 30 years of history and owns a number of brands such as GoodCook. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** For what projects/services did your company hire GoMage, and what were your goals? Our cooperation with GoMage started in June 2021. Before we hired the company, we’d been looking for someone to turn our website built on Wordpress into an eCommerce website. At the time, our website was just a recipe blog. People moving online pushed us in the direction of turning it into an eCommerce store, where people would be able to not only find recipes but also purchase our products. That was our main task at the time. Since our company had a number of websites built on Magento, we decided to move on with a familiar platform to us. But we wanted to build a PWA, since it offered a lot more opportunities than a traditional website. It’s light, efficient and provides advanced user experience. That’s how we found out about GoMage. **SOLUTION** How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors? GoMage were the only one with experience with PWA and they also were the most affordable. Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used. We hired GoMage to turn our Wordpress recipe website into an eCommerce store. That was our primary goal. We needed to ensure a smooth transition from being a blog website into being an eCommerce website. Being able to integrate our recipes with products in a way that is not pushing users away. We didn’t want to lose our audience. We also needed to integrate our progressive web application with our existing CRM and order management system, as well as integrate the Cybersource payment system. One of the main tasks was to make our PWA ADA compliant. We needed to make sure that we started on the right foot with our PWA from the very beginning. How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions? We had 1 backend developer, one frontend developer, one QA engineer and one project manager on our project. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables? We have successfully turned our website into an eCommerce store. Taking a look at analytics, we see that a month since PWA launch, the analytics is picking up in terms of web traffic. And we’re already selling products even though we haven’t done any marketing yet. This indicates that the website is performing well and the integration of products with recipes worked. Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness. Our Project Manager Yuriy Protsiuk is our main contact within the company. The communication runs smoothly despite time differences between our countries. The team uses YouTrack to track all tasks, progress and details. We also have access to a Slack channel where we can communicate with the team directly. When it comes to timelines, GoMage always provides the most accurate estimate so we always know how much time every task will take. What did you find most impressive or unique about this company? GoMage’s expertise on PWA is outstanding. When we had an issue and didn't know what to do, the team jumped in and got the results needed. For example, when we needed to integrate our PWA with other solutions, the support teams of those solutions weren't familiar with the PWA technology, so the GoMage team jumped right in to find the solution. They deliver results pretty fast when something needs to be changed or fixed, within a day or two, depending on the task. Working with GoMage, we can clearly see that they care about clients. Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently? There was never any frustrations during our project. The team handled everything to deliver the best results. If there was an issue, it was always resolvable. They take a proactive approach and always help us choose the best course of action, saving our time and budget. --- #### E-Commerce Web Development for Smart Window Shades Retailer **The Project** - Services: E-Commerce Development, Web Development - Project size: $50,000 to $199,999 - Project length: Feb. 2021 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: GoMage is developing an e-commerce website for a smart window shades retailer. Deliverables include a home page, product detail pages, product category pages, and more.  **Review Rating**: 4.5 - Quality: 4.5 - Schedule: 4.5 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Product Owner, Smart Window Shades Retailer - Industry: Other industries - Client size: 51-200 Employees - Review Type: Online Review - Verified **The Review** — Jul 19, 2021 **Feedback Summary**: The client is confident in GoMage's output, thanks to multiple testing stages that concluded a perfectly built webshop. They had a structured, realistically estimated workflow that maintained an adaptive team. The vendor is always ready to communicate, as well. ""GoMage has been quick to adapt to circumstances."" **BACKGROUND** Please describe your company and your position there. Smartblinds is an e-commerce webshop focusing on selling smart home window coverings. Providing the market with rollerblinds, duo rollerblinds, venetian blinds and honeycomb blinds that are compatible with the best known smart home platforms. I was the Product Owner of this newly set up magento webshop and was responsible all the communications with GoMage. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** For what projects/services did your company hire GoMage, and what were your goals? At the beginning of this year, we made the plans to start an e-commerce webshop for selling smart home window coverings. Through a collaboration with a big technology company, our engineers developed motors that are completely compatible with the most common smart home platforms. To start selling our products online, we needed to find the right e-commerce platform with a professional party of web developers to create the best webshop that would fullfill our needs. As a dutch company, we eventually found GoMage, an international company that already had experience is setting up similar webshops. After some good conversations, we decided to pick GoMage as our partner and started building our webshop from scratch. **SOLUTION** How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors? When we searched for webdevelopers, we were looking for professional webdevelopers that already had experience with similar webshops. GoMage previous work looked great and we were enhousiastic about chosing them as our partner. Furthermore, considering pricing, GoMage provides great work for a good price. Therefore, we are very satisfied by chosing GoMage as our partner. Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used. During our collaboration, we had a standardized way of working. On trello, we would make cards with all the different components that needed to be delivered (homepage, product category page, product detaill page, etc.). The project manager of GoMage would review this card and transfer them to YouTrack. In Youtrack, we and GoMage could see all the different components that needed to be delivered for the webshop. When a new track was added, the developers would deliver us a detailed estimation for the component. We would accept these estimations and the developers would start developing it on the test environment. On a weekly call with the project manager, we would discuss all the questions we had and tried to clarify the important functionalities of certain objects. On a daily basis, we would communicate with the team through slack to give feedback and keep eachother updated. GoMage always responded quick and had multiple developers were availabe for our developments. After 4 months, the webshop had been set live and overall we were very satisfied. In the future, we will continue working with GoMage to setup new components for the webshop and optimize our webshop in the best way possible. How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions? The project manager at GoMage was the main spokesperson during our projects. He/She will communicated with us on a daily basis and tried to translate all the requirements to their team of developers. During our project, especially during the last months, a large team of 4/5 developers (FE & BE) were available for Smartblinds and would deliver quality developments relatively fast. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables? Because our webshop only has been live for a week, we don't have any significant measurable outcomes. Considering general feedback, we are really satisfied with the developments that are achieved. Most of the components are working great and were delivered fast. However, becasue we are only live for a week, we need to test everything before concluding that the shop is built perfectly. However, as general feedback on the delivered components, we are really happy with the quality of work. Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness. Overall, we were really satisfied with the communication from GoMage. They were structured, gave realistic estimations and were always ready to respond to our questions. Through Trello, Youtrack and Slack, we would communicate with eachothers on a daily basis and be updated about progress that has been made. Only after a couple of months, there was a switch of project managers at GoMage. Therefore, some knowledge needed to be transferred and some questions were asked twice. However, after a few weeks, the new project manager was fully adapted and we are now satisfied with the current way of working. Moreover, for a partner that is geographically quite far from the Netherlands, the communication generally always has been good. What did you find most impressive or unique about this company? GoMage has been quick to adapt to circumstances. In the last weeks before the go-live, a lot of components still needed to be finished. Therefore, they quickly responded by making more developers available for our team. In this way, they could deliver multiple components quickly and simultaneously. Besides that, like already mentioned, the communication was overall very good. For a dutch company that is working online with a developing partner abroad, communication is really important to keep both parties satisfied. From our side, we were really happy with their ways of working and communicating. Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently? During the switch between project managers, some knowledge transfers could have been done better. However, in these times of working (corona era), we don't always now the circumstances in which the switch was made. Furthermore, we don't have significiant improvements for GoMage. As long as they keep up the good work, we will be satisfied! --- #### Web E-Commerce Development for Restaurant Supplier Company **The Project** - Services: E-Commerce Development, Web Development - Project size: $1,000,000 to $9,999,999 - Project length: Feb. 2012 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: GoMage has been in partnership with a restaurant supplier company since 2012.

They have also been efficient and effective. ""There is no one on the market that knows more about Magento website optimization." " **BACKGROUND** Please describe your company and your position there. I’m an eCommerce Manager at Restaurant Supply, one of the biggest companies in the USA selling commercial kitchen equipment and foodservice supplies. We offer products for the HORECA industry from the main brands of restaurant equipment and provide customers with a great shopping experience. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** For what projects/services did your company hire GoMage, and what were your goals? Our cooperation with GoMage started over 8 years ago. At the time, we had a poorly developed website for our other project – IceMachinesPlus. The GoMage team made a great job rewriting our Magento 1 website and then later migrating it to Magento 2. The company is still providing support for this website. So, they are providing ongoing development and support services for IceMachinesPlus for more than 8 years already. We were so impressed with the results delivered by GoMage and Magento capabilities that we decided to continue our cooperation with GoMage. We made the decision to migrate our 2nd website that was based on the NetSuite Commerce platform to Magento 2. The work on Restaurant Supply started more than 4 years ago. Even though Magento 2 was still in beta version at the time, we started the development right away. Magento 2 gave us access to more functionality and unlimited customization opportunities. The main goal at the beginning was to migrate our NetSuite Commerce website to Magento 2. After GoMage successfully delivered the results, we continued our cooperation to implement even more customizations and features. **SOLUTION** How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors? We chose GoMage for Restaurant Supply development because we had a great previous experience with this company. At the time, many vendors still developed websites on M1 only, and GoMage was already developing on Magento 2. After successful migration, we continued our cooperation as the company delivered all the results on time and migrated our store in record time, all the while working on the other of our projects. Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used. lacked the level of customization capabilities that we needed. GoMage offered a high level of expertise, and the result of migration was tremendous – 2X increase in sales and 3X increase in website performance. After migration, we moved to other tasks and improvements. GoMage successfully developed a flexible price-output system for customers and suppliers, as we work with a number of suppliers with their own pricing policies. GoMage also created functionality that allowed for the automatic creation of category pages. As a result, we saved thousands of dollars on front-end developers’ salaries. We also integrated our website with the NetSuite ERP system for stock management. GoMage has made a great job which allowed us to increase our sales. The improvements implemented last year allowed us to increase sales by around 20 percent. The development team also created a custom solution for integration with the feed of Google Shopping. This solution helped us to bring our website to top positions in Google search results. They used the base code of that solution to later build their flagship module - GoMage Feed Pro, which we are using now. A year ago, we made the decision to fully rewrite our website to get rid of the tech debt and improve performance. GoMage helped us to create a new price-output system, replaced the Celebros search with Klevu, developed a new module for NetSuite integration, transferred front-end to the new website and improved it, migrated all our custom modules, rewrote some key features, optimized the back-end and done other enhancement. New site is now released and performs adequately. GoMage did a great job optimizing our store and the new website version is much faster than the previous one. GoMage also provides us with 24/7 Magento support and helps keep our server infrastructure up to our business needs. The work on the Restaurant Supply website is still ongoing. We are now pursuing the latest innovative technology on the market – Magento PWA. GoMage offered us to add PWA functionality to our website and we are thrilled with the idea and the results it can bring. GoMage has been working on their GoMage PWA Storefront for a while now, and they use it for our project. The development has already started and we are looking forward to having our own Magento PWA. How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions? Over the years of our cooperation with GoMage, the team has seen substantial growth, from just one developer to a full department of developers working on different stores and integration bridges. GoMage has really strong Magento developers of senior level. Aside from a high level of expertise, they are always a pleasure to work with. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables? The GoMage team brings real value to our business. Their competence and high knowledge of Magento allows them to build websites with high performance. Migration to Magento 2 increased our sales by 50%. Changes made over the last year alone increased sales by ~20%. Our new website with improved performance metrics is expected to bring even better results. The move to Magento PWA will bring even greater results. During our cooperation with GoMage, the company helped us resolve a lot of business problems, enhanced our website and helped to increase revenue.

The team's years of experience shined through their work on the project as everything is organized and moves smoothly. ""GoMage is a team of great professionals who know how to solve any problem and deliver high quality of work." " **BACKGROUND** Please describe your company and your position there. I’m a co-owner of a company specialized in weekly bouquets delivery. After our customers subscribe to our services, they get bouquets delivered to their homes and offices every week. Every bouquet is designed by experienced florists who know how to choose and combine the right flowers, shapes, and colours. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** For what projects/services did your company hire GoMage, and what were your goals? We’d found out about GoMage three years before our corporation started thanks to their GoMage LightCheckout Module. We’d been using the module for three years and wanted to change its functionality to meet our business goals better. We got in touch with GoMage and asked to help us implement the postponement feature when a user subscribes to our weekly flower delivery. After the successful development of an additional module, we decided to move to other tasks. Great experience with Gomage LightCheckout and high professionalism of the team were two of the main reasons why we decided to continue our cooperation with GoMage. At the beginning of our cooperation, the main goal was to customize the GoMage LightCheckout extensions and add the postponement feature needed for our business. After that, we moved on to other tasks, mostly related to complex customizations dedicated to taxes. **SOLUTION** How did you select GoMage and what were the deciding factors? We first found out about GoMage when we were looking for a one-step checkout module. We came across GoMage LightCheckout and decided to go with it because of a comparatively low price, good reviews, and provided functionality. A few years later, we decided to improve our website and add a postponement feature for our customers. Naturally, we decided to entrust GoMage with module customization since they’d developed it and knew it like no other company. Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used. Our work with GoMage started with the GoMage LightCheckout module customization. Initially, it didn’t have the needed functionality. We got in touch with GoMage and their team customized the extension for our customers to specify the start of subscription and the day of the first flower delivery. After the work was successfully delivered, we moved on to other tasks. Overall, GoMage performed a lot of customizations related to the tax system for our website to work within Swedish legislation. Our website consists of two stores: for private customers and for business clients. In Sweden, product prices are displayed identically for individuals and legal entities. However, the price for legal entities does not include 25% VAT. For individuals, the price includes the tax. As a part of these extensive customizations, GoMage helped us to change the payment system to Stripe. Since Stripe doesn't support the postponement feature, we needed to customize its module so that it would allow us to have the needed functionality. GoMage performed this customization and moved to other tasks that relate to tax management. Also, GoMage helped us to redesign our website so that now it provides a smooth user experience and looks great. How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions? Over the time of our cooperation, there have been a few changes to the team. The core team never changed. All of GoMage’s developers we’ve worked with have strong knowledge of Magento and can boast a senior level of knowledge. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables? We are fully satisfied with the service that GoMage provides. Over the course of our cooperation, our sales grew by 45%. Our website always runs at the highest performance. What is more important, our website fully conforms to Swedish legislation, which is very important for us as a company serving both private customers and businesses. Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timelines. GoMage has years of experience and we can see it clearly in how they organize all the processes inside our project. We mostly cooperate with Andrey, our Project Manager, who oversees all the tasks. Our team users YouTrack for task management. The team always provides every task estimation, so we know how much time they spend on development. They often surprise us by delivering results before deadlines. If we have some urgent tasks, they always manage to deliver them even on a tight schedule. What did you find most impressive or unique about this company? GoMage breezes through any challenging tasks and always delivers the best results. The team we are working with consists of highly professional Magento developers who easily develop functionality up to our business needs. GoMage is a team of great professionals who know how to solve any problem and deliver high quality of work Are there any areas for improvement? Right now, I don’t see any areas of improvement. They have been improving the processes inside their company and our project. Today, all processes run like a well-oiled machine. They also have a high level of English, and we have no problems communicating with the team. --- #### Extension & Magento Customization for Clothing Print Shop **The Project** - Services: E-Commerce Development - Project size: $1,000,000 to $9,999,999 - Project length: Feb. 2019 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: GoMage was hired to install a product designer extension and then made customizations. After customizing a Magento site, the work turned into ongoing and they're developing an additional micro-service. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** CEO, Clothing & Accessory Printing Company - Industry: Retail - Client size: 11-50 Employees - Review Type: Online Review - Verified **The Review** — Jun 18, 2020 **Feedback Summary**: GoMage's work contributed to an increase in the speed of the website, which directly increased revenue. Providing high-quality work, they always go out of their way to offer the best solutions and improvements. Their workflow is smooth and easy and they update the client with timelines. ""Their expertise is beyond the highest expectations." " **BACKGROUND** Please describe your company and your position there. I’m CEO & Co-Founder of a worldwide platform for self-designed and customized clothes and accessories. We provide a range of services such as print-on-demand products with the ability to add custom designs or use the ones sold by designers. Designers get a commission every product sold with their design. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** For what projects/services did your company hire GoMage? We had a Magento website that was developed by another vendor and we needed to implement the product customization feature and purchased the GoMage Product Designer extension. Once the extension was installed by the GoMage, we have asked them to make some custom changes in the extension according to our needs. The GoMage was making all the necessary changes fast and the quality of the work was really good and we continued asking them to do more and more changes in their extension to implement the features that our business needed. Once the customizations of the extension started to transform into ongoing work, the Managing Director of GoMage, Yuriy has contacted me directly and proposed to move our cooperation to the next level and proposed much better terms and conditions and better dedication of their team after signing the long term agreement. What were your goals for this project? The main goal at the beginning was to implement the product customization feature into our Magento website. **SOLUTION** How did you select this vendor? As we were going to introduce print-on-demand services, we needed the corresponding functionality. GoMage’s extension Product Designer fit our business requirements and allowed us to implement the needed functionality within hours. We got in touch with GoMage for extension customization and after a great work was done, we decided to go on with our cooperation. Describe the project and the services they provided in detail. Initially, our website was just the ordinary Magento eCommerce site and then GoMage has added the unique feature to our website that allowed our clients to create a unique design for the products (t-shirt, cup, etc.) and purchase it. Later we have decided to change the business model and turn the website into a multi-vendor crowdfunding platform where there are the designers that are creating the products with their unique designs and selling those designs on this website and have the dashboard where they are monitoring the statistics, sales, profit, etc. and the users who are purchasing those products from the website. GoMage quickly dedicated a team of developers to implement tons of the requested custom features into our Magento website within a short period of time. After making these changes the website become extremely popular in the incredibly short-term and the number of products grew from a few thousand to a multi-million catalog of the products and continue growing with a huge speed and Magento simply wasn't ready for it and GoMage had to quickly find a solution for this issue under a lot of pressure. The solution was the following: they have created a custom entity instead of the heavy default Magento products and fully customized Magento to work with this custom entity instead of the default products. We had to re-develop about 70% of the website functionality in order to do it and it worked great! The number of products continued to grow and until this day we didn’t have any issues with the website speed and stability. Right now we have 29 million product variations on our website and the website still works fast and stable. Also, GoMage has created a sophisticated cluster of servers and optimized them properly to handle the load that is constantly increasing and they are providing 24/7 support for our servers and our website. In addition to that, GoMage has developed the fully custom standalone micro-service to work with the media files because we currently have about 12 TB of the media files and Magento obviously couldn’t handle such amount of media files by the default. Right now GoMage is migrating our website to Magento 2 and they are developing an additional micro-service that will replace the current heavily customized GoMage Product Designer extension. What was the team composition? The team has been changing a bit over the years but the core team of developers remained unchanged. All of them are really strong Senior Magento developers and system architects. They all had a high level of competence and are pleasant to work with. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business? GoMage team provides us with the quality of services and expertise that our previous agency could not guarantee. They easily increased our website’s speed by 10 times, which directly influenced our revenue. Overy the years, they showed their deep expertise and ability to turn even our unrealistic ideas into robust features. They always deliver results on time and guarantee high quality even if they need to work within short deadlines. How was project management arranged and how effective was it? Working with GoMage had always been easy. We mainly communicate with Alexander, our project manager, and can track the progress of every task in YouTrack. Before they start on any task, they tell us the time they are going to spend so that we know how long each task will take. If we need to implement some feature super-fast, they are fine with working beyond their usual hours. That’s why we always know that if we have some urgent tasks, they will be there for us. Sometimes they even deliver results faster. What did you find most impressive about this company? Their expertise is beyond the highest expectations. They always go out to offer the best solutions and to bring new functionality and improvements as fast as possible. They have Magento certified developers, which results in the high quality of work they deliver. They are a strong team, and we have no doubt that they will be able to take on any task, regardless of its difficulty. Are there any areas for improvement? I don’t see any area for improvement right now. Over the years, they’ve refined their processes to perfection. --- #### Dev Augmentation for E-Commerce Development Agency **The Project** - Services: IT Staff Augmentation - Project size: $200,000 to $999,999 - Project length: May 2018 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: GoMage provides front- and backend development support in Magento for an e-commerce development agency. They help in planning as well as implementing custom parts of each project.   **Review Rating**: 4.5 - Quality: 4.5 - Schedule: 4.0 - Cost: 4.5 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Product Employee, E-Commerce Development Agency - Industry: Information technology - Client size: 1-10 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Jun 2, 2020 **Feedback Summary**: Having GoMage’s resources extends the client’s capability to scale quickly and meet short deadlines for their customers’ projects. The team makes collaboration easier by enabling daily communication and being able to plan projects alongside the client. ""We can contact them on the fly and have resources available for whatever work we need that day." " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I work at an e-commerce website design and development agency. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with GoMage? We contract with developers when we need additional resources, so we hired GoMage for a specific project. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? We focus on the Magento e-commerce platform. GoMage assists us with frontend and custom backend development. Every project is unique with individual challenges and requirements. They assist in planning and executing integrations and customizations we need for specific projects.  What is the team composition? It differs for each project. GoMage assigns a project manager for each project along with a single frontend resource or backend resources as needed. I’m in touch with both the project manager and developers throughout the processes.  How did you come to work with GoMage? I don’t remember exactly; it might have been a referral. How much have you invested with them? We spent $180,000–$240,000. What is the status of this engagement? The project started in May 2018 and is ongoing **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? GoMage does white-labeled work so we don’t have customer feedback on their parts. From my perspective, having additional resources at our disposal just adds a layer of reliability on our end. We can give them short notice and have them assist us on urgent projects. With that level of resource availability, GoMage is like an extension of our team, which has definitely helped us substantially How did GoMage perform from a project management standpoint? The communication is pretty good. We can talk as a team to clarify project specs and timelines. They’re good at diagnosing and identifying issues that might arise beforehand. We use Slack for day-to-day communication and Utrecht for project management. They’re also good with timelines and keeping deadlines.  What did you find most impressive about them? Their reliability is what stands out to me. We can contact them on the fly and have resources available for whatever work we need that day. It’s a good relationship. Are there any areas they could improve? Their communication is good but could always be better. I can’t think of anything specific on that. Any advice for potential customers? Be specific with your product requirements upfront. Work with them to analyze all those specifications and identify possible scenarios that might require additional planning. --- #### E-Commerce Dev & Design for Sporting Goods Company **The Project** - Services: E-Commerce Development - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: Feb. 2013 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: GoMage took over the e-commerce website of a sporting goods company. They built new modules to manage third-party channel sales, upgraded the site to Magento 2, and developed another site from scratch. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Owner, Bounce Back Sports - Industry: Other industries - Client size: 1-10 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — May 28, 2020 **Feedback Summary**: The website received praise from outside stakeholders, leading to more work for GoMage. Their high-quality development is complemented by their clear communication and quick responses to questions and ideas. Their willingness to go above and beyond stands out. ""Their quality of work is tremendous. Compared to other people’s sites, ours looks phenomenal." " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I’m the owner of Bounce Back Sports, a sporting goods store. About 90% of our sales take place online through our website and third-party channels, like eBay, Walmart, and Amazon. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with GoMage? Our website was done by another organization in 2013. It was having lots of issues, but the company was not being responsive. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? GoMage took over my company’s website. They wrote modules to get our products over to third-parties channels and to troubleshoot our errors. They also notified us that we needed to upgrade our Magento platform because it would no longer be supported. They presented the different things we needed to do and what steps they recommended. We followed their recommendations and successfully integrated a new Magento platform.  As we were doing that, I needed another website for another business I have, GoMage built that from scratch. What is the team composition? Alexander (Project Manager) is my main contact, but I worked with someone else first. There are also usually several other team members. How did you come to work with GoMage? I went to Upwork and put out a job looking for people experienced with Magento. I looked at how each company’s previous assignments and the way they answered my questions when I interviewed them. I consulted with friends who know a little about this work, and they gave me more questions to ask.  GoMage was confident and gave examples that matched up with what they were saying. We started with little projects, and they provided to be responsive and able to do what they said they would. They’re now the only people I use for my website.  How much have you invested with them? I’ve spent about $45,000. What is the status of this engagement? We started working together in maybe February 2013 or 2014. GoMage is currently tweaking our site, and the other site for my other business is ready to go live. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? Everything GoMage has done has been good. For example, once we had an issue where Google marked us an unsafe site. Even though it wasn’t their responsibility, GoMage got in, fixed the problem within 48 hours, and didn’t charge me. That really impressed me. In addition, they don’t sell me on things that won’t benefit my company. GoMage instead gives me a wide range of options, and when I decide what to do, they proceed with it and make it happen. It’s also been an affordable experience. How did GoMage perform from a project management standpoint? They’re very responsive to my ideas, questions, and goals. They bring back options that would work best for what I’m looking for. They also work within my time zone.  The communication is outstanding as well. There is a language barrier, but they have translators with full English fluency. We communicate over a Utrecht system, which they walked me through step by step. I also talk with Alexander once a week over Skype, and we email every couple of days. They’re really responsive. I have nothing bad to say about them whatsoever; they’ve done good work for me, and I’d have no problem referring other people to them. What did you find most impressive about them? Their quality of work is tremendous. Compared to other people’s sites, ours looks phenomenal. Our marketing agency was blown away by the quality and the way it looks, and so are other people. Also, thanks to GoMage’s modules, we also no longer have to use a channel advisor to manage our inventory with our third-party channels. It was huge to be able to cut that cost.  Are there any areas they could improve? I’d love it if GoMage could add more graphic design, but I don’t know if that’s in their realm. I’d also like them to be more familiar with other third party sites like Facebook Marketplace and Groupon; I want to launch there as well. Otherwise, I can’t think of anything. they’re responsive to email and answer in language that I understand. If I have questions about an invoice or finances, they go through it and explain it to me. I hope they continue progressing and learning other sites to help me grow.  Any advice for potential customers? Gave a clear goal about what you’re wanting to accomplish. Find a website you like and identify what you like about it. It’ll save you money and time. That was my biggest fault; I knew nothing about websites, I just knew I wanted one. It took a lot of time to communicate what I was looking for from there. --- #### Magento Development Services for Custom Blinds Provider **The Project** - Services: E-Commerce Development - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: Jan. 2020 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: GoMage handles Magento development efforts for a custom blinds provider. Their team provides a large range of services including website auditing, speed and performance improvement, and process automation. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 4.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Co-Founder, Make My Blinds - Industry: Other industries - Client size: 11-50 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — May 19, 2020 **Feedback Summary**: The partner is happy and satisfied with the results of the deliverables. GoMage's work has improved the website's speed and saved several hours of manual processing time. Their team is communicative and responsive. They're experts in their field who provide transparency throughout project stages. "“They completely blow their competitors out of the water, especially when it comes to speed.” " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I’m the co-founder of Make My Blinds. I oversee mostly all the operations side of the business, including managing web development tasks. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with GoMage? Our company was previously working with another agency local to us in Bristol. However, we were really struggling to get the quality of development work we needed, both in terms of output from an agency and just having the technical knowhow. We needed to find a new agency that was good enough and met our needs. Essentially, we had a long list of jobs and operational efficiencies that needed completing. One of the most important tasks was improving the speed of our site because it was terribly slow. We wanted to find the best people we could and had to go international to find them. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? Our team has an ongoing list of jobs we’ve always wanted to do but were held back by our previous agency. First and foremost, GoMage performed a full code audit of our website. This helped identify issues that had been botched by the last agency. A lot of the problems involved some needed clean-up and fixes on the backend coding. GoMage also implemented Algolia, which is a quick search system for websites. Their team handled the process of reformatting our site’s frontend, which encompassed entire category and search function rebuilds. They also automated our manual process of sending free samples to customers who request them. Another big task they’re currently working on is electronically linking our website directly to our supplier. We won’t have to manually place any orders anymore because our Magento site will talk to the supplier’s interface. GoMage provides 24/7 server support and also does some work for our blog. They swapped the blog platform hosted on Magento and used a plugin that one of their developers built. Mostly everything is project-based and clearly allocated in terms of time and resources. The Algolia search transition is one of the bigger projects. What is the team composition? I mostly speak to Yuriy (Customer Success Manager) for issue-related things. We also interact with about four people, including an account manager and frontend developer. How did you come to work with GoMage? I conducted a Google search for Magento agencies in Kyiv. Magento originated from Kyiv, so if we wanted the best people for the job, we had to go to the source. My co-founder and I traveled there and met with 3–4 different agencies. GoMage had the best office setup. They didn’t have the largest number of developers, but they were purely focused on Magento rather than doing lots of different coding languages. This would present the risk of their team stretching themselves too far, which is what some of the other agencies seemed to be doing. How much have you invested with them? We’ve invested between $16,000–$20,000 so far. What is the status of this engagement? Our ongoing engagement began in January 2020. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? Their team has massively improved the speed and performance of our website. Because we’ve experienced several agencies now, we have a good sense of who’s good and who isn’t. When it comes to GoMage, our requests have never been a problem. They’re always fine with every task we present them. If not, they suggest an even quicker or better way to handle something. There’s never any resistance from their side, and they’re very solution-oriented. A particularly amazing feat was when they handled the free sample process automation. They finished that project in just eight hours. They went from a concept we didn’t know was even possible and by the end of the day had built it on our development site. They rolled it onto production the following morning. It was extremely quick. Their work with electronically linking our website directly to our supplier has saved us hours of work a week and has become fully automated. One time, we had an issue where our site went down on a Saturday morning. Within five minutes of me contacting them about this error, they responded that they had fixed it. They work at a rapid speed. The best way to describe them is that they’re constantly thinking outside of the box to come up with different ways to fix problems and provide solutions. On top of everything, the value we’re getting is immense in terms of the fact that they’re half the cost of a UK development team who isn’t fully qualified in Magento. Overall, we’re very happy and very satisfied. How did GoMage perform from a project management standpoint? We put the GoMage team onto a dashboard that features screenshots of what we’re looking to achieve. The information gets passed from the account manager to a developer. There’s always clarity on who’s working on what projects. We have a Slack channel we use every day for quick questions here and there. When we put a project on the dashboard, our account manager will estimate that it’ll take X number of hours. We give them approval, and they go off and complete the project. Once finished, they provide feedback reporting on how long it actually took them. They’ve always come right on the money or just under what they quoted in terms of hours. Before starting anything, they always communicate time expectations so there’s never any shock or guesswork in how long they’re spending on certain projects. Everything is tracked through YouTrack so we know how many hours are spent on different elements. There’s clear reporting on their work so we’re able to see all project stages. There’s fluidity in our conversations with them. We don’t need everything to be very structured because we trust them to do a good job. They’re even good at chasing us down if we’re the ones causing a delay. We have a very good system. What did you find most impressive about them? Their speed is the most impressive attribute about them. An example of this was when we quoted our previous agency to handle some speed optimization for the website. They quoted it would take 150 hours — GoMage did it in about 15 hours. They took our desktop site from a 45 on the Google Lighthouse speed check to a 92. Compared to other agencies, they completely blow their competitors out of the water, especially when it comes to speed. Are there any areas they could improve? No, there are no areas for improvement. --- #### E-Commerce Dev & Maintenance for Air Quality Device Company **The Project** - Services: E-Commerce Development - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: Sep. 2018 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: After working with a previous provider, a home indoor air quality service hired GoMage to update and perform maintenance on their e-commerce system.

We offer our products in the US and Europe. I’m the enterprise architect that focuses on the ongoing implementation projects and application landscape throughout the company. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with GoMage? One of our focuses is the e-commerce system of our web store. We originally had a Magento 1 e-commerce platform made by a different provider. After four or five years, we switched to GoMage for their maintenance and support services. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? Initially, GoMage supported our team in maintaining and enhancing the Magento 1 platform. Since the beginning of the year, we’ve used them to implement our Magento 2 version from scratch. We’ll continue using their services for enhancements, but also expanding them to improve our functionalities further and cater to our aggressive expansion plans and business channels within the new system. What is the team composition? Roman (Project Manager) is our main point of contact. They have two fulltime developers and some part-time resources for testing and DevOps. How did you come to work with GoMage? We switched to GoMage before I started at the company. I know that my company was unhappy with the previous provider’s quality and price. How much have you invested with them? So far, we’ve invested €45,000 (approximately $49,000 USD). What is the status of this engagement? We started on engagement with GoMage in September 2018. Their work on the new system began in December 2019. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? Since March 2020, our new Magento platform has been live. We managed to step up the new Magento 2 store in a matter of weeks. We are happy with the customized modules they delivered. The system is taking orders in over ten countries with different accounting systems and payment methods connected to the site. GoMage’s technical understanding has been very fruitful. When we discuss ideas with them, they can question what we’re proposing and suggest alternative solutions to problems. With other agencies I’ve worked with, they executed, only for us to find out that it wasn’t something we actually wanted or asked for. How did GoMage perform from a project management standpoint? For project management, their team uses YouTrack, which is a similar tool to Jira. It keeps track of work tasks and prioritizes what should go in upcoming releases for both features and bugs. Their team is extremely flexible from a deadline perspective. Whenever something had to be escalated, they delivered even outside of working times and on the weekends. So far, they’ve achieved every deadline, and they even delivered earlier than expected at times. What did you find most impressive about them? When it comes to Magento, they’re skilled. They have senior developers on their team. Most of them worked for Magento previously. We can see that knowledge clearly within the application. Their communication approach also works pretty well. We went over there a few months ago to meet the team. It was a great experience, discussing the roadmap and reflecting on the work thus far. Are there any areas they could improve? No, we’re satisfied. Most of our issues have been with our own requirements. Do you have any advice for potential customers? The most beneficial thing to do for engagements like this is to spend time initially and talk through the business, its challenges, and the different nuances that may make needs different. The more they know about the company, the better they can ensure that they can build something that actually gives benefit in the long run. This goes back to what I said, that they don’t just execute on our requirements, but actually reflect on and question them to find the best solution. --- #### Web Dev for Premium Eyewear Retailer **The Project** - Services: Web Development - Project size: Confidential - Project length: Nov. 2014 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: GoMage provides web development services for a glasses retailer on an ongoing basis.

They assisted me in the creation of an e-commerce website. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? We never had an e-commerce site for this business before. I first created the designs outside my relationship with them. Once the designs were complete, I started looking for vendors that could apply it on top of the Magento framework. I decided very early in the process that we’d use Magento based on our requirements. We needed GoMage to take the designs provided by my designer and translate them into code. Another major requirement was to set up the extensions and modifications of the Magento code needed to facilitate the custom requirements that we needed.   I put together a list of requirements and presented them to GoMage. They looked at them, quoted me for the front- and backend development, and got to work, building the site from the ground up.  What is the team composition? Our main point of contact was a project manager. Our original manager switched partway through the development. We also had direct phone correspondence with the developers over the phone and through a shared helpdesk tool.   How did you come to work with GoMage? I put the project on UpWork, and they bid on it. It was clear that they offered relevant experience. After speaking with their sales representative, I felt that they were knowledgeable enough to give them a try.   How much have you invested with them? We’ve spent about $20,000 in total.   What is the status of this engagement?

While their involvement didn’t really require any hard metrics on our end, they’ve performed and managed the project very well.   How did GoMage perform from a project management standpoint? In addition to my regular communication with my project manager, I can interface with the developers directly using their ticket system. Given our remote relationship, communication has been very streamlined.  They allocate the appropriate number of resources to handle tasks in a timely fashion. We correspond using Slack throughout the workday, and there’s never been an issue with getting a response within 24 hours. That goes for both our project manager and the developers.  What did you find most impressive about them? Their communication is much better than my typical experiences with outsourced companies. They have processes set up to prevent any major emergencies during my workday because that’s nighttime for them. I appreciate that forethought.  Are there any areas they could improve?

Our website was not handling the growth in our traffic, so we hired GoMage to optimize that and then to migrate our site from Magento 1 to Magento 2. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? The first phase of their involvement was to optimize our site to handle increased traffic. After that, we found out that Magento was discontinuing Magento 1, so they built the new website on Magento 2 from scratch, using our existing design templates. From there, they were able to transfer all of our data and customer information over to the new site. What is the team composition? We have a project manager who acts as our main point of contact, and then there is a team of about 5 or 6 people working on the development in the background at various times, doing backend development or UX/UI design depending on what stage of the project we are at.

He communicates with us regularly on Slack and we are always able to get in contact with him for anything we need. What did you find most impressive about them? They have a really extensive and skilled team of developers, so even if one goes on vacation, they are always able to keep the work flowing and avoid any delays in your timeline. They are always really up to date on updates and patches to Magento that we need to implement. We really appreciated that aspect of their business. Are there any areas they could improve? No, there is nothing in particular that I wish they would improve. Do you have any advice for potential customers? Just trust their process. Their system is well organized, so if you make an effort to work with them it will be a seamless partnership. --- #### Web Shop Revamp for Smart Home Products & Solutions Company **The Project** - Services: Search Engine Optimization, UX/UI Design, Web Development - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: June - Oct. 2023 **Project Summary**: A smart home products and solutions company hired GoMage to revamp their web shop and provide SEO services.

I am the CTO at Able Skills, we are the UK's largest private construction training provider. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** For what projects/services did your company hire GoMage, and what were your goals? We hired GoMage to fulfill a number of tasks. First of all, we needed to upgrade our website to the latest Magento version. Also, we wanted to customize Trustpay to our needs.

I am the eCommerce director of a clothes and accessories shop. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** For what projects/services did your company hire GoMage, and what were your goals? Our website's performance was very low and we wanted to upgrade and update it. We didn’t know what exactly we needed to do, though. That is why we referred to GoMage for a website audit and consultation first. **SOLUTION** How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors? To be honest, GoMage wasn’t our first choice and that was our big mistake. The agency we hired before couldn't do the job we needed and wasn’t clear on time and budgets. So after 3 month of unsuccessful cooperation, we knew it was time to find someone who could do the job. I’ve heard about GoMage from a colleague so we decided to have an introductory call where we described everything to GoMage’s team and started cooperating on the project straight away. What we appreciate most is the fact that the team hit not only the deadline but also the budget, which was clear from the beginning of the project. Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used. The GoMage team performed the M1 to M2 migration of our website, conducted several stages of testing to make sure everything works correctly and applied additional optimization techniques which really brought our website speed to a new level. How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions? We have worked with a team of about 4-5 people, which on different stages included different web-developers and managers, however I mostly communicated with our project manager Andrey. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables? As I mentioned, our website was quite outdated and migration to Magento 2 with a new design increased the conversion rate. Although we have released the website not so long ago, we already see a big difference in sales indicators and are expecting even more in the next couple of months. Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness. Cooperating with GoMage was nothing but pleasure. They’ve been consulting us and sharing all the process updates all along the way, the management quality was on the next level, truly. I can’t remember a time when it took Andrey more than an hour to answer any of my questions. And what is more important — they worked really fast when they needed to fix or update something. What did you find most impressive or unique about this company? The involvement of the team into the project. They don’t just tell you what your business needs, they describe every step of the way and show you how each tech improvement will change the overall experience of your store visitors. I was satisfied after a consultation with their UX/UI experts, their audit and work added extra value to customer experience. Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently? The team which was working on our project was very attentive and proactive. There is nothing I would like to change or add to the process in general. --- ## Portfolio & Awards ### Shirtee: Magento Server Optimization & Development Shirtee is a worldwide platform of print-on-demand clothes and accessories with over 30,000,000 configurable products and 15,000 daily visitors. Key results: x10 speed boost x600 increase in monthly revenue x4 reduction in hosting expenses Challenges & Solutions The client approached us to implement a product customization feature. The goal was to make it easy for customers to customize products with the design they wanted. With the help of the GoMage Product Designer extension, this feature became quickly possible. We did have to customize it according to the client’s needs, but using our extension saved much time on development.  After successful integration with our extension, the client decided to change the business model and open a store for designers. The idea was to turn the website into a multi-vendor crowdfunding platform where designers could create their unique designs and sell it to others. We developed this functionality from scratch and added a new statistics dashboard for designers. As a result, users can view selling information on their designs: completed or pending orders, profit, conversions, etc.  The new changes were made and the client’s website grew from a few thousand to a multi-million product catalog.  Magento was struggling to maintain such a high server load. So our team optimized the client’s server, boosting the website speed and making it withstand the high traffic. Here is the full case study: https://bit.ly/2Z4u8zp ### MakeMyBlinds: M2 Performance Optimization Make My Blinds sells custom-made window blinds in the UK region.The online retailer offers thousands of products from hundreds of different suppliers. Key results: 40% increase in revenue 683% increase in conversion x3 faster delivery and deployment 47% increase in traffic Challenges & Solutions The out-of-the-box features of the Magento 2 platform couldn’t support a high server load, so the client’s website was running slow on performance. We stepped in to optimize the speed of the client’s website, all the while adding new features and integrations. Full-page caching helped to reduce server response time from 2 seconds to 100-150 milliseconds. And deleting unused code and unnecessary extensions improved the Google Lighthouse score from 45 to 92 points. Now, customers can enjoy a faster website with a better user experience. And the client has experienced a 40% increase in revenue. Our team helped the client with the development of the new blog, the new search functionality and the customization of the GoMage LightCheckout extension. Direct integration with the supplier saves our client hundreds of hours of manual work every month. Here is a detailed case study: https://bit.ly/3qejUbt ### Restaurant Supply: Magento 2 development & design Restaurant Supply is one of the largest players on the American market of equipment for restaurant businesses.   Key results: 50% increase in online sales x3 increase in website performance   Challenges & solutions: The client works with a huge number of suppliers and offers thousands of products on its platform. Since each supplier has its own price, product and information – it was necessary to centralize all vendors under one flexible system.   We started by developing multiple modules and scripts, giving the client the ability to configure all products, break them into categories and manage any stock remaining. Now the client is able to manage all frontend data in line with the requirements of each vendor.    After the development stage, the client hired our team for design services. Our main goal was decrease bounce rate with the help of reimagined website that allowed ueesrs to find products quickly and easily.   In several iterations, our team of UI & UX experts brought simplicity and convenience to the elements of each page.  Today we still provide Magento support services to this client who has experienced a 50% growth in sales over the course of our long-term cooperation.You can find a detailed case study here:  https://bit.ly/3a8Z5so ### IceMachines+: Magento Development from Scratch IceMachines+ offers kitchen equipment and foodservice supplies of a commercial scale.   Key results:x2 increase in overall website performance after Magento 2 migration   Challenges & Solutions   GoMage and IceMachines have over 9 years of history together.

A few years later, we helped with Magento 1 to Magento 2 migration.   Over the years, we’ve helped our client keep the website up to date and provided a lot of customization.   IceMachines+ is integrated with NetSuite ERP for products and stock management and has a custom functionality for flexible price output based on privacy policy stated by each supplier.   Automated creation of category pages saves hundreds of hours for our client every month.   After 9 years of cooperation, we continue working with IceMachines+ to ensure that the website runs fast and provides customers with a smooth shopping experience. Here is the full case study: https://bit.ly/2ZxCuTO ### Natura Market: Magento 1 to Magento 2 Migration Natura Market is the seller of healthy food and natural products in Canada. Key results: x2 increase in overall website performance x2 increase in sales Challenges & Solutions The cooperation with this client is a good example of how we provide Magento 1 to Magento 2 migration services. The project kicked off with the complete redesign of the old website: we suggested multiple variations of page layouts, improved the overall user experience, and added a special touch with unique icons. The new design was optimized for different screens resolutions, including desktop, mobile and tablet. Customers can now shop by categories, brands, and even based on their diet preferences. Advanced filter settings allow them to find products they want to buy quickly. After a new sketch of the website, we moved to the development stage. Our engineers transferred the confirmed design to code, added the main functionality, and the team of QA specialists ensured a smooth performance under high server load. The client received a fully working online store based on Magento 2. Today we still provide Magento support services for Natura Market, maintaining consistent website performance that has doubled with twice increase in sales throughout our cooperation. Here is the detailed case study: https://bit.ly/2Z7jYOg ### Soccer Tutor: Migration to M2 & Custom Development SoccerTutor is a website that offers high-quality coaching information and products to football coaches from all over the world.   Challenges & Solutions   The company had a website built with the Volusion eCommerce platform. Rapid business growth created a lot of challenges that the system failed to address. SoccerTutor made the decision to switch to a new platform and more robust platform – Magento.   GoMage created a new website from scratch and transferred all the data from the old website.    To help the company better work with different product types, we integrated the Magento 2 website with over 15 extensions, including GoMage’s bestsellers – GoMage LightCheckout and GoMage Advanced Navigation.   The decision to use ready-made extensions sped up the development process by over four times. Our team did a lot of custom coding since not all modules provided all the required functionality. We also integrated the website with popular payment systems such as Braintree, ApplePay, GooglePay, UnionPay, and Opayo.   GoMage continues to work on website improvements and support it to provide fast performance and all functionality necessary for business.   Here is the full case study: https://bit.ly/3CYK9rT  ### Blomsterprenumeration: M2 Checkout Customization Blomsterprenumeration is a flower delivery service in Sweden. They provide designer bouquets on a subscription basis. Key results:  45% increase in online sales Challenges & Solutions The company became a victim of its own business model: the subscription started and the money used to be withdrawn as soon as the customer placed an order. Since many people order flowers weeks in advance, they don’t want their subscription to start instantly and their money to be withdrawn immediately . As a result, the company was losing many potential customers.  The client reached out to us to customize their checkout process so that customers could postpone their subscription until the day of the delivery.  We were quick to create an additional extension for their existing GoMage LightCheckout module. This allowed the customer to set the number of days by which the start of the subscription must be postponed and the days necessary to process the first order. Ultimately, the client saw a 45% increase in online sales after the update. Read the full case study here: https://bit.ly/3730Qpf ### Fashion Eyewear: Custom Extension Development Fashioneyewear is the top online store in the UK region for prescription eyewear and designer sunglasses. Key results: 300% increase in overall performance 70% reduce of hosting expenses x2 increase in page load time Challenges & solutions: The client had over 40,000 products at the time of cooperation and wanted a simple tool to manage information about each product in their catalog. We extended the functionality of the product upload, upgrade and removal operations by developing a customized module. The new advancement allowed the client to edit product information with ease. The next challenge was simplifying the process for consumers buying prescription glasses. Since each brand of eyeglasses presented its own parameters for lenses, consumers had to manually input data from their prescriptions. Our team added the possibility to attach a photo of the prescription, which is automatically attached to the order in the admin panel. Based on the prescription, the module intelligently recommends options that fit the prescription of every single customer.
