Our website was created years ago, so we hired GrayCyan to revamp it.

We researched a bunch of companies and GrayCyan had the best reviews for the most reasonable price.

Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.

GrayCyan created a website for us that could also include our main company and our sister company. I zoomed with the head of business and sales and was provided information about pricing etc. Then, I met with Lorna, who inquired about what we wanted. She got all of the details. The initial phase was the design phase in which we went over what kind of look we wanted to go with and what not. After a few modifications in the design phase, we moved on to the content. They were very patient and accommodating and gave us suggestions that we ended up implementing into our website. The process took awhile because of how detailed GrayCyan is, but the website came out great, so we are very happy with it.

My schedule was a bit different, so it was hard to arrange and give feedback when they required it. I have to admit, some times the process took a very long time, however, I know that it takes a while to code etc., so I remained as patient as possible. When I sent follow-up emails, I got a response the same day, so I appreciated that.

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

They knew alot about website design and what would help make our website stand out.I also really appreciate how the company added info to our website, even after the website has bene live for a bit.

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

As noted above, I wish some things could have been done faster. Admittedly, some of it was my fault in terms of a delay in responding to them, but the project took longer than initially described in my sales meeting. As well, I noted some things in the initial design phase that were missed. That wasn't a big deal, they fixed them shortly after being noted.
