""We're impressed with Makers' Den's direct and hands-on approach to communicating with clients."" **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there.I'm the head of marketing at a company that installs solar energy systems. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Makers' Den?One of our issues was regarding our branding and lack of consistency in communication. Last year, we created a rebranded experience for new and existing customers, and we wanted to take that rebranding to our website and create a new storefront for our business activities.  **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement?We previously used WordPress to manage our site, but Makers' Den decided to take a different approach and use a more modern CMS. Our team has designed the website, and Makers' Den has guided us through the process and coordinated the site's development. We decided to use Storyblok as a CMS and Vercel for hosting and storage. What is the team composition?We've worked with different teammates throughout the project. Initially, we developed the whole website in a fast-paced environment, taking us around two months to complete everything. During this stage, we worked with Carl-Petter (Founding Partner), Norbert (Software Developer), and Paweł (Software Developer). Carl-Petter is the only team member we're still in touch with.How did you come to work with Makers' Den?Makers' Den was referred to us by our partner in Spain, who had already worked with the team.How much have you invested with them?We've spent around €34,000 (approximately $37,000 USD).What is the status of this engagement?We started working together in January 2024. Makers' Den has completed our site and is working on some changes. We have a retainer contract with the team in case we want to adapt something or make changes. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?The project's success is reflected in our marketing team's ability to work independently and develop pages. We can work on top of what Makers' Den has designed and implemented. Storyblok enables us to adapt and change content easily, and we need little development post-implementation, whereas, with WordPress, we always need somebody to help us follow up.On the other hand, the site's loading speed is quicker, thanks to Storyblok's headless CMS technology. The team has used good practices, and the site is well-designed and has implemented the latest trends and requirements of search engines. Overall, we see a high quality internally of how the site has been implemented.How did Makers' Den perform from a project management standpoint?We have weekly stand-up meetings to review the development stages. We work in project management through Asana, where Makers' Den posts the latest work updates, and we can see progress in real-time. We also communicate via email and Slack for any tasks we need to look into in the meantime. Makers' Den meets deadlines.Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?Norbert has been very hands-on during development and offered a good experience. Carl is very knowledgeable and solves problems on the fly.What did you find most impressive about them?We're impressed with Makers' Den's direct and hands-on approach to communicating with clients. With other companies, they create a black box project and deliver a website as an outcome. With Makers' Den, we've been part of the creation process and adapted it on the fly according to our branding view. Are there any areas they could improve?I'm well-versed technically. However, I think Makers' Den can improve their business communication with other customers who don't have a technical background. Although, because of our project, we haven't been able to communicate more data at technical levels since it wasn't needed. Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?I recommend working with Makers' Den because they use amazing technology that offers flexibility for customers' teams and empowers them in a way other systems don't allow. Working with no-code tools can be tricky when adding new items, but using Storyblok can systematically improve your working methods and empower your team. --- #### Custom Software Development for Medical Educational Company **The Project** - Services: Custom Software Development - Project size: $50,000 to $199,999 - Project length: Jan. 2022 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Makers' Den provides custom software development services for a medical educational company.

They worked closely with the internal team to integrate with backend functionality. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 4.5 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Product Manager, E-Commerce App - Industry: Financial services - Client size: 5,001-10,000 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Sep 3, 2020 **Feedback Summary**: The product is very new so hard metrics are not yet available, but the client's team is extremely pleased with the work provided by Makers' Dens engineers and enjoyed the process of working with them. The team was creative, flexible, and quick to understand and target the client's unique challenges. ""The best part of working with them is definitely their flexibility." " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. We’re a fintech company working in the payment service provider segment. I’m a product manager and team lead in the company, in charge of building an internal software. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Makers’ Den? We need to have a really strong UI in order to help users interact with our product. We target people without development backgrounds, so the user interface needs to be really user-friendly. We had a frontend engineer, but he was quite junior, and we needed help from Makers' Den in order to achieve our goal in a shorter time. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? We had wireframes of the UI and its functionality at the start, and Makers' Den helped us develop and enrich it with features. They had a constant feedback loop with our customers, and they asked for our direction and feedback at various stages of the work. They strictly worked on the frontend of our product. What is the team composition? We worked with one person from Makers' Den. How did you come to work with Makers’ Den? They’d had a previous contract with our company. The same engineer we had on this project had worked for a different department of our company as a consultant. We heard really good feedback from the team working with him. That project was about to end, and it was the perfect timing for us to extend the collaboration with him. How much have you invested with them? The project cost is $100,000–$150,000. What is the status of this engagement? This project started in early-November 2019, and the contract will end in late-September 2020. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? It was pretty nice overall to work with Makers' Den. They’re very skilled at what they’re doing, and they found solutions for every problem we gave them. They were also able to guide and teach our junior in-house engineer, which helped us a lot. It’s hard to measure the impact because our product is really new. Everyone on our team is really happy to have worked with the engineer from Makers' Den. We would’ve extended the project even more, but the budget is tight. Our colleagues and users have always given us awesome feedback on how easy to use the UI is. We’ve also gotten recognition from our domain leads. How did Makers’ Den perform from a project management standpoint? They were able to onboard quickly, which is important when working with an expensive consultant. We simply explained to them what the overall architecture of our system was and how users needed to interact with it, and they were quick to assimilate that and start the work. There was a lot of investigation work to be done in the beginning, and I didn’t have a lot of time to prepare requirements. I was able to just quickly describe what features I wanted to have, and Makers' Den planned ahead and made tickets based on that. The communication was really strong, and it wouldn’t have been possible otherwise. Many of the features they were working on were tied to the backend, so they were in a constant communication loop with our team. We integrated Makers' Den into our Jira. What did you find most impressive about them? The best part of working with them is definitely their flexibility. We had a tight budget toward the end and had to shift around. We asked them to vary the amount of work they did each week, and they planned according to that. I also appreciated their ability to guide our frontend engineer. This isn’t usually a part of the contract, and it would’ve been expected that they just deliver the results, but Makers' Den also trained our frontend engineer. Are there any areas they could improve? I didn’t have detailed requirements from my side, and, because we were just getting to know each other, there was some miscommunication. It was a mistake on both our parts not to write down and summarize our initial discussions, so that Makers' Den could review the requirements later on. This was nothing critical. There were just some minor issues here and there. Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs? The more the client invests in planning ahead and specifying the tasks, the more Makers' Den can dish out. They have the necessary skills and knowledge to deliver fast. --- #### Frontend Development for Online Classifieds Company **The Project** - Services: Custom Software Development - Project size: $50,000 to $199,999 - Project length: Feb. 2019 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Makers' Den handles frontend development for an online classifieds company.

We’re building an internal tool for the review of ads and listings. We needed a company that could help us build the frontend of this tool — that’s why we brought Makers’ Den on. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? Makers’ Den is handling the frontend development of the platform. Their team wrote the code and built the frontend with our product specifications and they’ve also done the entire engineering for it. They designed the architecture for the frontend and worked closely with our design and user research teams to make sure the frontend fit the requirements. What is the team composition? I work with two people from their team. How did you come to work with Makers’ Den? They previously worked on a different project with another department. We were recommended to them by that team and decided to go ahead with the engagement. How much have you invested with them? We’ve invested somewhere in the $100,000 range What is the status of this engagement? Our ongoing partnership began in February 2019. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? We’re tracking the completion of work as one of the success metrics because they’re contractors. Their work has been well-received by our internal team. How did Makers’ Den perform from a project management standpoint? They work well toward deadlines and are really good at giving realistic expectations of how long things will take. Makers’ Den has fully integrated onto our development team so it doesn’t feel like they’re a separate unit. Their team works closely with ours. What did you find most impressive about them? They’re extremely easy to work with and that’s always super important. Are there any areas they could improve? No, it’s been a really good collaboration. We started out with one person and then brought on a second once we realized the scope of work was larger. All of this worked very well. Do you have any advice for potential customers? Working with them is a lot of fun but also productive. --- #### CMS Architecting & Dev for Insurance Company **The Project** - Services: Web Development - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: July - Dec. 2019 **Project Summary**: Makers' Den created a more flexible architecture for an insurance company's website. They used Gatsby, Prismic.io, and a design system to build the core of the architecture. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 4.0 - Cost: 4.5 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Head of Product, FRIDAY - Industry: Financial services - Client size: 51-200 Employees - Review Type: Online Review - Verified **The Review** — May 6, 2020 **Feedback Summary**: The resulting solution was a CMS that allowed the in-house content editors could create pages and change site elements without relying on the engineering team. Makers' Den led an orderly process, publishing new pages as they continued development. Their seasoned talent made for a smooth project. ""It was impressive to see that they always knew exactly what they were doing and had previous experience." " **BACKGROUND** Please describe your company and your position there. We are FRIDAY. Our aim is to offer an insurance that actually benefits our customers’ lives. We are building an entirely stress-free digital insurance - without loads of paperwork, annoying bureaucracy and lengthy contract duration. As a Head of Product I lead product management for our tech platform. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** For what projects/services did your company hire Makers' Den? We had a website that already consumed content from the Prismic CMS but most important pages had been hardcoded and pages automatically generated from CMS content were limited in functionality. All development is usually done in-house at FRIDAY, we hired Makers' Den to give us a head start with a more flexible and complete set up of the website. What were your goals for this project? The new architecture should create the entire site dynamically based on content from the CMS, so that content creators have full control and do not require engineering to create or change pages or change page elements. All components should be available in the CMS and component rendering should be based on a design system to further separate content from presentation. **SOLUTION** How did you select this vendor? We have worked with people from Makers' Den before (before they even started Makers' Den) so we knew that they understand our requirements, our development conventions and that they would deliver great work. Describe the project and the services they provided in detail. Makers' Den rebuild the website architecture from the ground up and helped to integrate the new stack into the existing infrastructure so that we could migrate from the old site step by step. The core of the architecture is a static site generator using Gatsby, Prismic.io and a design system. Fetching content at build time only makes us independent from CMS availability. Different template types are available in the CMS with a wide range of components to choose from. Page paths and meta data can be configured in the CMS as well. For the migration we made use of a reverse proxy to serve individual pages or folders from the new application while keeping the old site up and running. What was the team composition? The project team most of the time included two engineers who were capable to work on all the different components of the architecture, from site generation backend, to Prismic configuration to design system. They were mostly working with our internal designers and content editors and they also discussed the proposed architecture with our internal engineering and included all of the required measures to ensure code quality into their process. They had been flexible enough to switch between on site and remote work as needed. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business? The entire project is considered a big success that gives our content editors the freedom to create and publish content without development effort while having full control of the technical setup of the site. We went live with the first pages after halfway through the project and then migrated the remaining content step by step. The application is running smoothly ever since and is the foundation for our internal teams to build additional functionality on top of it. How was project management arranged and how effective was it? We discussed the scope and the expected timeline of the project in an initial service offer and then later used Asana for tracking individual stories. Stories were prioritized and results were presented to the internal stakeholders in weekly iterations. We had dedicated Slack channel and Gitlab repo for the project. What did you find most impressive about this company? In light of the many different aspects of the project and the small number of people involved it was impressive to see that they always knew exactly what they were doing and had previous experience in all of the areas that were necessary to deliver the solution end to end. Also communication was great. Any upcoming issue could be discussed and resolved in no time. Are there any areas for improvement? For the work that was commissioned, there's nothing that comes to my mind in terms of improvements. We intentionally took care of most of the overarching project management, so I cannot judge how well that would have been handled. --- #### Web Development & Migration for Travel Booking Automation Co **The Project** - Services: Web Development - Project size: Confidential - Project length: June 2025 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Makers' Den provides web development for a travel booking automation company.

The team led an excellent project management process using Asana and communicated effectively using Slack and weekly meetings. Their valuable advice to improve the website stood out. ### CRM for housing companies and their inhabitants Yade is a property management company, that manages the many properties of multiple housing companies in Finland.
