BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the manager of UniSC’s Innovation Centre, which supports researchers, students, alumni, and community founders in developing and scaling innovative products, services, and businesses through incubation and entrepreneurial programs.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with KindSoft?

We needed help maintaining, modernizing, and improving the web presence that supports our incubation and entrepreneurial programs. Our primary goal was to ensure that our websites remained technically current, secure, and reliable while providing a better experience for students, entrepreneurs, industry partners, and other stakeholders who rely on our online resources.We also wanted a partner who could assist with ongoing website maintenance, content updates, hosting improvements, and strategic guidance. As our programs continue to evolve, it’s important that our websites can be updated efficiently and remain an effective channel for communicating information, promoting initiatives, and supporting engagement with our community.Another key objective was to migrate several websites to a more reliable hosting environment without disrupting services. In addition, we wanted to expand our digital capabilities through the development of new landing pages and improved content experiences that would support program promotion, event participation, and stakeholder engagement.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

KindSoft provides a combination of website maintenance, web development, hosting migration, and ongoing digital support services for our Innovation Centre and related websites. Their engagement began with helping us maintain and improve our existing web presence, ensuring that our sites remained current, reliable, and aligned with the needs of our users.

One of the most significant components of the project has been the migration of nine internal websites to a new hosting environment. KindSoft has managed the migration process from planning through implementation, helping us transition to a more reliable hosting provider while avoiding disruption to website operations and user access.

Beyond the migration work, KindSoft supports ongoing website updates, technical maintenance, troubleshooting, and enhancements across multiple sites. As our engagement has expanded, they’ve also begun supporting additional departments within the university, providing development and maintenance services tailored to each group's requirements.

Another important deliverable has been the creation of new landing pages and content experiences. This is a capability we hadn’t previously invested in, and KindSoft has helped us design and build landing pages that better support program promotion, stakeholder engagement, and communication initiatives.

What is the team composition?

We’ve primarily worked with a service account manager, two developers, a lead designer, and a strategist, depending on the project requirements.

How did you come to work with KindSoft?

We first came across KindSoft through an RFP process when we were evaluating web development and support providers for a website rebuild project. Although we selected another vendor at the time, KindSoft remained on our shortlist, and we later re-engaged them when we needed ongoing website maintenance, hosting migration, and web development support.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent around $10,000–$49,999.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them in July 2025, and our engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

The most noticeable outcome has been the reduction in the amount of time our team needs to spend on website maintenance, updates, and issue resolution. Before engaging KindSoft, a significant portion of my time was spent coordinating updates, troubleshooting technical issues, and managing hosting-related concerns. Since the migration and ongoing support work began, that workload has decreased considerably, allowing me to focus more on strategic initiatives and content improvements.

Another important result has been the successful migration of nine websites to a new hosting environment without disrupting services. The transition has been smooth, and the new hosting platform has proven to be more reliable and easier to manage than our previous solution. Since the migration, we've experienced fewer hosting-related issues and greater confidence in the stability of our web infrastructure.KindSoft has also helped us introduce new landing page capabilities that we hadn’t previously utilized. This has given us more flexibility in how we promote programs, events, and initiatives, while improving the way we present information to prospective participants and stakeholders.

From an operational perspective, I estimate that the time I spend on routine website maintenance and troubleshooting has been reduced by approximately 30%–40% compared to before the engagement. Equally important, we now have a trusted partner who can respond quickly to requests and provide guidance on both technical and strategic website decisions.

The project has resulted in improved website reliability, reduced administrative workload, more effective content delivery, and a stronger foundation for supporting the Innovation Centre's ongoing digital initiatives.

How did KindSoft perform from a project management standpoint?

KindSoft's project management has been consistently strong throughout our engagement. They communicate clearly, are responsive to requests, and provide good visibility into project status and upcoming work. We primarily use Basecamp for project management and communication, which makes it easy to track tasks, share feedback, and monitor progress across multiple initiatives.

In terms of delivery, KindSoft has generally met agreed timelines and budget expectations. There was one occasion where we experienced a bottleneck on a project, but it was communicated openly and managed professionally. Because many of our projects involve multiple stakeholders and shifting priorities, we value flexibility as much as speed, and KindSoft has done a good job adapting when requirements change.

What I appreciate most is that they set realistic expectations and keep us informed throughout the process. We rarely have to follow up for status updates because communication is proactive, and the team is transparent about timelines, dependencies, and any potential challenges.

Overall, KindSoft has been a reliable partner from a project management perspective. They are organized, responsive, and committed to delivering quality work on time, which has helped us maintain momentum across a variety of website maintenance, migration, and development projects.

What did you find most impressive about them?

What has impressed me most about KindSoft is their efficiency, professionalism, and genuinely collaborative approach. Throughout the engagement, I’ve never felt that time was being wasted in meetings or that work was being unnecessarily prolonged. The team works at a pace that suits our organization while still maintaining a high standard of quality, which has given us confidence that our investment is being used effectively.

Another quality that stands out is their willingness to listen. Rather than pushing their own ideas or trying to upsell additional services, KindSoft takes the time to understand our goals, requirements, and constraints before making recommendations. They strike a good balance between providing expert guidance and respecting the direction we want to take as an organization.

I also appreciate their attention to detail and communication style. If there’s ever any uncertainty around a request, they ask thoughtful questions to ensure they fully understand what we need before moving forward. This approach helps avoid misunderstandings, reduces rework, and leads to better outcomes.

Perhaps most importantly, KindSoft has built a strong working relationship with our team. They feel less like an external vendor and more like a trusted extension of our organization. Their combination of technical expertise, responsiveness, respect for our priorities, and commitment to delivering value has made them a pleasure to work with over the course of the engagement.

Are there any areas they could improve?

We’ve been very satisfied with KindSoft's work, and the relationship has been a positive one. If I were to identify an area for improvement, it would be around long-term planning and roadmap discussions as our engagement has expanded across multiple websites and departments.

As additional projects and stakeholders have become involved, there have been opportunities where more proactive planning sessions could have helped prioritize future initiatives and identify dependencies earlier. This hasn’t been a significant issue, and it hasn’t affected the quality of the work delivered, but having periodic strategic planning discussions could be beneficial as the scope of work continues to grow.

That said, KindSoft has always been responsive, open to feedback, and willing to adapt to our needs. Any challenges we’ve encountered have been addressed professionally, and they’ve consistently worked with us to find practical solutions. Overall, this is a relatively minor observation in what has otherwise been a very successful and productive partnership.

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

KindSoft has provided a complete web design and development solution for our project. They used React and NextJS for the front-end and created a stable database using NodeJS and SQL on the back-end. The website is hosted on a Linux server. The main deliverable of their work was a responsive web interface, which digitised our product catalogue and customer service system. In addition, they have made website navigation easier by following the UX Strategy.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

As a result of the new website, our online engagement has increased significantly. In the first few months, we noticed an increase of about 30% in wholesale orders. As the website loads quickly, users are spending much more time on our site. The CMS integration has significantly accelerated our administrative work, which has reduced our operational costs.

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

KindSoft's project management is highly professional. They have adhered to a clear timeline for each stage of the project and have kept in touch with us through regular updates.

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

Although it is a very good experience overall, however, it would have been better if the documentation process was slightly more detailed at the initiation stage of the project. It’s not a problem of epic proportions, but more detailed documentation would have made things easier for our internal team to work later.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm an executive at Zero Calculators, an education company. We sell advanced graphing calculators for use in high school and college.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What specific goals or objectives did you hire KindSoft to accomplish for Zero Calculators?

I hired KindSoft to build an HTML page for a graphing calculator emulator. They didn't build the emulator, only the webpage. I wanted the page to be simple and easy to navigate while converting well. They also built a post-purchase thank you page.

SOLUTION

Can you describe the scope of their involvement in this project?

KindSoft rebuilt the entire HTML of the page. In the beginning, it was very simple and more of a placeholder. They finished it and turned it into a good, functional page that matches our brand identity. The team delivered a fully built HTML page while working around the requirements of the emulator.

What is the team composition?

We worked with one teammate from KindSoft.

How did you come to work with KindSoft?

We found them on Upwork. I chose them over other options because of their high ratings and good value for cost.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

We actively communicated throughout the project, which helped keep expectations in check. First, they sent a few design options in Figma for my approval. After a few revisions in Figma, they sent an HTML file, and I gave them comments and changes. Then, they made those changes and submitted the work to me again. This happened a few times, and it was good to see the progress and be involved along the way.

How did KindSoft perform from a project management standpoint?

They delivered on time. Whenever I had revisions and rehired them, they always returned the work promptly and on time as well. We communicated via email and messaging apps.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I was impressed by how fast they delivered the work.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, there weren't any.
