Our goal is to end malaria through public awareness campaigns and advocacy to influence politicians to pledge more money to support the malaria fight. I'm the senior manager of digital marketing, and I help manage the execution of digital campaigns and websites. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Marzee? We worked with Marzee on a small website for a summit we're putting on.    **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? We initially discussed what we would like with the project manager, and then I put a wireframe together. We then had another meeting with their designer, and he brought the wireframe to life. Later, I was introduced to a broader team to help implement and upload content onto the site after they'd worked on it for a few weeks. They used Figma to design the site from scratch. What is the team composition? We had direct contact with the designers. How much have you invested with them? We spent £6,000 (approximately $7,000 USD) on the entire project. How did you come to work with Marzee? We had worked with them before on a previous project and went with them again after they introduced the idea that the site being serverless would save money in the long run. What is the status of the engagement? We began our working relationship in January 2022 and completed the project in April of the same year. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? We didn't have any metrics, as we simply needed a website to host our campaign. We weren't measuring traffic that much. How did Marzee perform from a project management standpoint? Their team was straightforward to work with and delivered everything on time. They were also very responsive, quick, and reasonably priced. I found them to be great, and they always let me know if they weren't available during a particular time. We communicated through email and Slack. Are there any areas they could improve? I don't think there was anything that could have been improved for this project. Everything went very well. Any advice for potential customers? Provide as much information as possible and know what you want the website to do. It also helps to have clear examples of what you like because Marzee can consistently execute them.  --- #### MVP Development for Educational Equity Analytics Platform **The Project** - Services: Custom Software Development - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: Mar. 2019 - Feb. 2020 **Project Summary**: Marzee developed an MVP for an educational equity analytics platform.

Worked with a consultant to identify Marzee as our best choice for development. We scheduled a call with them, and since the first discussion, we knew they were the right partner for us! Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

A product head, a tech head, and multiple other developers (both front and backend.) **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

" **BACKGROUND** Please describe your company and your position there.

We needed to have clear visitor flows that enable users to find the most relevant information according to their profile. **SOLUTION** How did you select Marzee Labs? We initially run an UX/UI analysis with them, and we were happy with their work and decided to continue to the design and implementation of their recommendations Describe the project in detail. The content was already there, so the main idea was to work on a theme that could adjust to this and create some content types for the new pages. I was the project lead and liaised with the rest of the web user group at EFI. We did a few rounds of feedback with the whole team and pandemic aside, we were able to negotiate a final look.

Everybody at EFI has given very good feedback about the new look&feel. How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs? Communication was very fluid. We schedule meetings on the spot for specific issues and to handle them faster. We conducted several feedback sessions and a training session towards the final stag eof implementation. After the initial implementation, we used GitHub to keep track of bugs and enhancements. What did you find most impressive about this company? I think the fact they don't need a physical space to run and everything is under control and on time is impressive. This probably reflects on their overall flexibility and willingness to do a good job. Are there any areas for improvement? I had Friday update meetings with the project manager, however despite of GitHub, during the rest of the week it was difficult to track what everybody was doing. Although this may be just my personal management style, I felt a little lost. --- #### Web Dev for Biomedical Research Laboratory **The Project** - Services: Mobile App Development - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: Mar. - Sep. 2020 **Project Summary**: Marzee Labs was hired to provide migration services to a biomedical research laboratory's two websites. The team also developed another site to feature the client's new bioinformatics tool. **Review Rating**: 4.5 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 4.0 - Cost: 4.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Senior Scientist, Switch Laboratory - Industry: Other industries - Client size: 10,001+ Employees - Review Type: Online Review - Verified **The Review** — Oct 8, 2020 **Feedback Summary**: Marzee Labs delivered stable and functional websites. They provided seamless communication. Throughout the engagement, the team remained patient and understanding. ""They addressed all our requests for changes until they achieved the look that we were happy with." " **BACKGROUND** Please describe your company and your position there. We are a biomedical research laboratory focussing on understanding the role of protein aggregation in human diseases such as Alzheimers’ or other dementias. Our lab brings together about twenty researchers from bioinformatics, biophysics and cell biology backgrounds. We also produce scientific software as part of our efforts. I am a senior scientist at the Switch laboratory. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** For what projects/services did your company hire Marzee Labs, and what were your goals? We asked Marzee to solve several problems for us: we wanted to move two existing websites to a new host, rebuild our laboratory’s existing website that was based on an outdated architecture, and set up a new website for a recently created bioinformatics tool. Our goals were making bioinformatics tools publicly available, increasing visibility of our work and preventing that our laboratory website become obsolete. In the case of the laboratory website, we also wanted an updated and more appealing look for the website. **SOLUTION** How did you select Marzee Labs and what were the deciding factors? We worked with Marzee labs in the past and we were satisfied with the results, but there was a personal connection, as well, since one of the founders used to be a member of the Switch lab. Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used. My supervisor explained our goals to Marzee and then he handed most of the details over to our lab manager, one of my colleagues and myself (depending which the part of the project it was). Marzee used Netlify to set up the basic structure of the websites and involved us in putting content in. They transferred some of the content directly and they gave us access to the content manager of the website in preparation to change the content we wanted to update and we also could make modifications to the website structure (like adding new pages). It was important to us that we could add or modify content later on after the website became live without their help. They developed a new logos for the lab and our bioinformatics tools, and made a new colour scheme for the laboratory website. They had great training material explaining what and how we can do and they were very patient if we had questions. They addressed our requests for changes until they achieved a look for the website we were happy with. How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions? We were in contact with the head of business. She gave us regular updates on what they have done and relayed our requests to the developers. For some details we were directly communicating with one of the developers. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables? We have new websites up and running that are stable, look good, and deliver the functionality we require. Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timelines. Very smooth. We had a Google Meet teleconference with the head of business and a web designer from the Marzee side and our lab manager and myself from our side at the beginning of the project. We have two other video calls with the business developers thereafter, but we mostly communicated via email with the head of business. The information was always transferred to the developers because we saw the results in the website. Despite Covid19, things went at a good rate. What did you find most impressive or unique about this company? I have never worked with any other company before therefore I cannot compare them with other web developer companies. What impressed me mostly how patient they were with us, because we didn’t know much about developing websites, and sometimes we had to get internal alignment before we could tell them what exactly we would like them to do. Their head of business is a fantastic communicator. Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently? A better internet connection for teleconferences! --- #### Web Dev for COVID-19 Small Business-Focused Nonprofit **The Project** - Services: Web Development - Project size: Confidential - Project length: Apr. - July 2020 **Project Summary**: Marzee Labs built the flagship platform of a nonprofit that assists small businesses during COVID-19.

We were unhappy with our previous agency, and we wanted to work with a new contractor. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement?

We liked the flexibility and the functionality available in WordPress, so they built our sites in it. What is the team composition? There was one lead contact and two frontend developers. How did you come to work with Marzee Labs? They worked for us as a frontend developer on a previous project. They came to us through a recommendation from our head of technology. We did do an RFP for this project, but a lot of the agencies we work with come to us through referrals. How much have you invested with them? We've spent around $50,000 for two site development projects, a site optimization project, and maintenance contracts. What is the status of this engagement? We started working together in July 2018, and the largest release was in January 2019.

They were straightforward and easy to work with. Are there any areas they could improve? We had to work out some bugs with a form they built, and their QA could be a little better. I'm still very happy with their service. Do you have any advice for potential customers? Be clear and concise about your objectives and your desired deliverables.

My team is in charge of making sure that our company’s video content is available on both desktop and mobile devices. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Marzee Labs? We needed an expert to help us with our Drupal systems. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? Over several years, they’ve worked on our four main websites that were built using PHP and Drupal. More recently, they’ve been using React and WordPress. We explained our functional needs for each of the websites, initially meeting them in-person to answer all their questions. They got to know us pretty well after some time, so we didn’t need to meet in person anymore. We described the required functionality of our end-result during those meetings, and they filled all the gaps with their technical staff. What is the team composition? We’ve worked with Peter (Founder and Lead Drupal Architect, Marzee Labs), João (Frontend Developer, Marzee Labs), another frontend developer, and a web designer. There were 7–8 people involved in total. We’ve also been in touch with a success manager, who was mainly in charge of making sure we had everything we needed, the budget, and other items. We were in contact almost daily using Slack and if required, we’d also have weekly calls to make sure everything was alright, and there weren’t any misunderstandings. How did you come to work with Marzee Labs? We have a strict selection process, by which we publish requests for proposals and then make a selection. As we’re publicly funded, pricing is very important and takes up 40% of the final score. The remaining 60% of our consideration is about the technical support. Marzee Labs was both the cheapest and the best on the technical aspect. How much have you invested with them? It’s reached several hundreds of thousands of euros. What is the status of this engagement? We started working with Marzee Labs 6–7 years ago. Our latest project ran between January 2017–July 2019. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? We’ve been able to participate in some open-source projects with them, which has given us a good overview on how the space works as well as a presence in those communities. On the project side, one of our websites has a lot of live streaming concerts, and we’ve had some really big success thanks to their work. We’ve been able to successfully livestream some pretty big concerts. How did Marzee Labs perform from a project management standpoint? They were more on the agile side in this respect, and they taught us some nice things about scrum. They’re quite cutting-edge. What did you find most impressive about them? Their ability to always find new talents and recruit some good developers impressed me. Are there any areas they could improve? I couldn’t say anything for now. Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs? I recommend having a chat with Peter, then clients will be convinced pretty quickly. --- #### Web Development for National University **The Project** - Services: Web Development - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: July - Oct. 2017 **Project Summary**: Marzee Labs developed a Drupal-based website for a national university.

I am a Senior System Analyts at Lisbon Headquarters. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** For what projects/services did your company hire Marzee Labs? Marzee Labs was hired to create a website for a specific new project based in Drupal technology. At the project start-up, specifications were not yet fully closed. Marzee Labs came up with the option of splitting the project into two phases, to speed up the delivery of the project. What were your goals for this project? Marzee Labs designed and developed a website to meet two goals: Act as the public website for the project Act as a collaborative work platform within a restricted user community **SOLUTION** How did you select this vendor? They were recommended to us by another agency. There were three vendors, all of them selected because of proven experience in deploying Drupal CMS. Marzee Labs excel in several items, such as: Involvement in proposal production Proposal submission time Total cost estimative From the first moment until the project delivery, we always felt confident in the vision and deliverability from Marzee Labs Describe the project and the services they provided in detail. Designing, developing and customizing a Drupal CMS platform to provide not only front desk website features but also a collaborative environment where users can produce and share information. What was the team composition? It is clear that Marzee Labs has a very flexible structure regarding the resources allocated to each project. From the beginning, we had a project manager constantly engaged with the project. Apart from the PM the project team was composed of 2 Drupal developers and one designer. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business? This project enabled the possibility to provide a website where information could be gathered in a controlled sharing environment. How was project management arranged and how effective was it? The project was conducted from a SCRUM perspective, with the implementation of several sprints. A key aspect was enabling end-users to do compliance monitoring and follow-up for each sprint. The tools used for project communication were Skype and GitHub. What did you find most impressive about this company? With scarce guidelines, Marzee Labs delivered a robust and well-planned system. Meeting the requirement to use Drupal, Marzee Labs not only authored all the design components but also streamlined the production infrastructure to meet the continual development that the project required. Are there any areas for improvement? The conduction of this project had few areas for improvement. The production of documentation may be a factor to improve. --- #### Mobile-Friendly Site Redesign for Coworking Space Firm **The Project** - Services: Web Development - Project size: Less than $10,000 - Project length: Apr. 2018 - Aug. 2019 **Project Summary**: Marzee Labs redesigned a website for ease of use and mobile compatibility.

The team worked well together, each member investing themselves and taking on unique responsibilities. Clear communication and project sprints helped meet deadlines. ""We always felt secure and in control of what was happening from a timeframe and budget perspective." " **BACKGROUND** Please describe your company and your position there. Porto i/o is the leading coworking space in Porto, Portugal, since 2014. I am the founder and currently the project lead. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** For what projects/services did your company hire Marzee Labs? Marzee Labs provided us with a new platform to power our sites (the main one and spin-off projects). Part of Marzee Labs team is also using one of our coworking spaces, and they continuously provide ad-hoc consulting on technical topics. What were your goals for this project? The goals were to migrate all our websites, refreshing their look and feel, as well as making them mobile-friendly. **SOLUTION** How did you select this vendor? We were very much impressed by Besugo, Marzee Lab's state-of-the-art piece of technology that uses a static site generator approach for institutional sites. It suited our needs, budget and vision for what we want to achieve. Moreover, they are part of the open-source community and it matches our values. Describe the project and the services they provided in detail. In a nutshell, here are the phases of the project: Current site analysis and re-structure proposal. Product revamp and evolution. Design (low and hi-fi mockups) including style tiles. Study and iteration on mobile-first approach. Implementation and content migration. Project management, tests, documentation and training. What was the team composition? Marzee Labs team was composed by: 1 PM 1 Product specialist 1 Lead developer 1 Designer **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business? The thin tech layer and simplified editorial platform that powers our websites were a drastic improvement so any one of our team can now contribute to our several websites. Right now we are finishing the content production and the release is going to be a massive step forward for our business since we'll be able to communicate well and beautifully our values and what we have to offer. How was project management arranged and how effective was it? The project was divided by sprints and several demos were being done as the project went forward. The communication was really clear and transparent. What we enjoyed the most was probably the fact that we always felt secure and in control of what was happening from a timeframe and budget perspective. What did you find most impressive about this company? Their culture. Not only their structure is flat, but it is clear that everyone in the team (and even in the project) feels equally important. There was never any typical "us against them" situation, and we could feel like we were part of their team, even though we were the client. Are there any areas for improvement? Since Marzee Labs is small at the core, and their work in a very non-traditional way, they have challenges with resources stacking. Again - they were very transparent about this at the beginning and we clearly knew that there will be some parts of the project where their team will be less available, as they would be in a more critical phase of another project. This, for us, was never an issue, because our critical phases of the projects were always well treated. --- #### Website Revamp for Gaming Company **The Project** - Services: UX/UI Design, Web Design, Web Development - Project size: $50,000 to $199,999 - Project length: Jan. 2023 - Dec. 2024 **Project Summary**: Marzee revamped a gaming company's website, adding features like a fan art corner, education hub, and community content center.

It is essentially an online directory of small businesses where business owners can showcase their offerings and users can seek local products and services. They started with a Google Spreadsheet listing small businesses and independent workers that had special offers during the lockdown and evolved to a list of over 800 businesses after we created the web platform.  Impulso team needed a platform to improve the flow and reach more businesses and people. Marzee created this web directory using Gatsby, Goggle Sheets, Typeform and Netlify, allowing the businesses to showcase special offers they had during the period.

The product has complex user flows, roles and dashboards with key information for users, from retailers to social care institutions.   Marzee Labs was selected by the Social Challenges Innovation Platform project to deliver a solution to this social and environmental challenge by creating a Minimum Viable Product (MVP). The platform facilitates daily interactions between social institutions and food businesses and monitors the process of the supplier donating surplus food to the final receivers. We built the platform with Drupal 8.

From brand to web design and development, Marzee Labs delivered a new institutional website to the Switch Laboratory, giving a new and modern look to the Lab's website and migrating it from Drupal to the Jamstack. The website was developed using Gatsby for the front-end, combined with Netlify CMS for all content editing and served on a CDN, Netlify. Besides increasing the website’s performance, this meant a reduction in cost with the server.

In 2020, Marzee worked with Impulso on a pro-bono project called Compra Aos Pequenos. After its successful implementation, the team decided to work with us on the development of their institutional website! The website goals were to present the organization, their team and most importantly their offerings. On top of the website, we developed a subscription platform with a straightforward payment process for businesses looking to be part of Impulso businesses community.  Our team used the Jamstack approach here, relying on NextJS, Netlify CMS, Stripe, AWS and Netlify to build the website and the subscription platform.    Impulso team now has a fast website with low to zero costs with infrastructure (serves) and with a new form of revenue through the subscription platform.   See the full case study here: https://marzee.co/case-studies/website-and-subscription-platform-to-empower-small-business-growth ### Maintenance and Evolution of WordPress Websites ARTE is a European public service channel that promotes cultural programming.
