Magnific Soft

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the owner of a platform to sell and buy websites on the German-speaking market.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Magnific Soft?

We created our initial websites ourselves, but the design was not professional, and it was missing functionalities. We needed an agency to bring the website to the next level with a user-friendly and modern design.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

We looked a many companies on Upwork, however, MagnificSoft stood out due to the modern design and usability of their reference sites.

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

First, I briefed the team via Slack with examples of sites that appealed to me and provided them with our brand guidelines. Based on this, MagnificSoft prepared mock-ups in Figma which I commented.

The changes to the mock-ups were implemented in no time, and we then moved to implementing the design on a staging version of our WordPress site. Via Ruttl I commented on the developed pages and within a week, the website was finalized with the desired functionality and an outstanding, modern design.

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

In total, I worked with 3 persons: Vasyl for the Figma mock-ups, Olia for the WordPress implementation/development, and Anastasiya who was in charge of project management and communicating with me as the client.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The new design is very modern and user-friendly. We already saw an uptake in time spent on our pages and received positive comments from our clients on our new website!

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The project manager, Anastasiya, was extremely responsive and kept me up-to-date at all times. Even though we worked in different time zones, her top-notch organization and communication skills ensured a very smooth workflow.

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

I think that MagnificSoft excels at the quality and speed of how they design and develop modern WordPress sites. They were always open for feedback, and their customer service was excellent.

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

Nothing that I can think of, I am very happy with them and will hire them again in the future!
