Perpetual

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a program manager at Rock Paper Reality, an AR design agency.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenges were you trying to address with Perpetual?

We needed an on-site team to help us test and deploy a 3D advertising and billboard experience we developed for one of our major clients. We had our internal remote team, but we wanted to see how everything in this project would line up in the real world, so we looked for a team on-site with strong capabilities to understand how a user would approach this experience.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Perpetual provided QA and user usability testing for an immersive geospatial billboard experience in New York’s Time Square. The team tested and deployed the experience by providing us with video content and running it in AR to show us some of the holes we had. They did this very quickly because we reached out to them on short notice and had a tight deadline.

The team also provided user research to see how technical and non-technical people would react and solutions to address every user better regarding deployment, file sizes, loading speeds, and graphical asset fidelity.

In terms of technology, Perpetual adapted to work within our proprietary platform. Nonetheless, the testing was via iOS and Android mobile devices using the Adobe Aero product stack.

What was the team composition? 

We worked with three members of Perpetual’s team, including Amish (CEO) and two QA and user engineers.

How did you come to work with Perpetual?

A client referred Perpetual to me.

How much have you invested with them?

For this project, we invested $2,500 with them.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together throughout December 2023.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Perpetual's team performed four on-site testing sessions with 20–30 tests with 20 quantitative and qualitative metrics that we wanted to reach. The team also drastically reduced the file size of the project we built and improved loading times.

How did Perpetual perform from a project management standpoint?

Perpetual stayed within deadlines and on budget and was communicative throughout the process. The team also rapidly delivered upon our requests and was responsive via our Slack channel, email, and regular phone calls.

Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review? 

The whole team worked collaboratively, and as a team, they were able to move very quickly for us with a thorough and comprehensive approach, which was their real strength as a provider. I was not expecting to get that much work out of a resource I called late in the project.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Perpetual's work exceeded my expectations, considering they had little time to work with, and this was all thanks to their team effort. Overall, we felt like expanding our business with them going forward thanks to their quick turnarounds and reasonable costs.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I didn't think there was anything they could improve on because they exceeded our expectations in a very short time, so all of our feedback for them was strongly positive.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Have a clear understanding of your requests, but also be open to their suggestions because they might suggest something spectacular.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CTO of a fintech startup. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Perpetual?

Our project had two primary tasks involving web design and web development.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Perpetual has designed a public marketing website, and we have a third-party host. The team has also worked on the redesign of our application and provided engineering support to execute that redesign. Perpetual uses Figma and Webflow on the design side, and on the engineering side, they use Webflow integrations for the marketing site and JavaScript, TypeScript, React.js, and Next.js for the application.

What is the team composition?

I’ve been meaningfully engaged with four teammates from Perpetual, including their CEO, lead designer, and two engineers.

How did you come to work with Perpetual?

We found Perpetual through a third-party reference. We hired them because of their track record and cost.

What is the status of this engagement?

We’ve been working with Perpetual since May 2023. Our original engagement ended in October 2023, but I decided to extend our engagement due to the quality of their service.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Perpetual has done a fantastic job on the marketing website, over-delivering on expectations given the amount of time and scope of work. On the application design project, our experience is similar. Perpetual has contributed beyond our expectations on the engineering side. The team demonstrates a lot of flexibility in adapting to our changing requirements, which is very valued by our team. 

How did Perpetual perform from a project management standpoint?

Perpetual has provided an appropriate price and executed tasks on time. The team is very responsive; before our engagement started, we mostly talked through video calls and emails. Now, we talk through Slack and video calls.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Perpetual is very responsive to our changing requirements regarding timeline, design, and technical changes.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I can’t think of anything for Perpetual to improve.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I don’t have specific advice for potential customers — Perpetual is a great partner to work with.

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

We stretched Perpetual into broader marketing skills than what was in their wheelhouse. They were flexible and professional but we saw the bounds of what is truly their strength. They were very upfront with us about their strengths and capabilities and they delivered what they said they would.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the co-founder of an AI training and consulting company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Perpetual?

I started my company earlier in 2023 and needed somebody to help me build a professional website. I wasn’t good at creating a website, and my team members were all data scientists that worked on AI, so we hired Perpetual to help us. 

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Perpetual worked on developing my website. I had an existing one, but it didn’t look professional. As a result, they offered to create another one from scratch. It contained an About page, an Offerings page, a Blog page, and a Contact page. We had many conversations about what I wanted, and they designed several pages based on our conversations. 

Moreover, we had a lot of back and forth and meetings. The team also provided ideas that I hadn’t thought of and helped me implement them. The key technologies they used included Webflow and Figma. 

What is the team composition?

Their lead designer led the project, but I worked closely with an intern and another UI/UX developer. In total, I collaborated with 2–3 teammates. 

How did you come to work with Perpetual?

I knew Amish (CEO) and reached out to him to talk about how he started his company since I was doing the same thing. We started the engagement from there. 

How much have you invested with them?

I spent less than $10,000. 

What is the status of this engagement?

Our initial discussions occurred in May 2023, and the project lasted from June–August 2023. The site hasn’t been launched yet since I’m still creating content for it. It will likely go live in September 2023. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

I truly appreciated Perpetual’s easy collaboration and turnaround times. They were highly receptive to feedback. The team was even gracious enough to show me how to make changes directly on the website so that I could handle content better. 

How did Perpetual perform from a project management standpoint?

Perpetual met our deadlines and stayed within budget. They used a tracking system where they shared notes after our meetings; their members also created a Slack channel for us to collaborate easily. If we had to leave feedback for each other, we’d leave Slack messages. We used emails to communicate while I was traveling, but most of our conversations were on Slack and meetings. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

The entire team was great. They had good teamwork and were gracious, making sure that nobody dropped the ball. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, there weren’t any. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I’d be happy to refer Perpetual to anyone who wants to work with an excellent team. This team knows what they’re doing. They’re nice people to work with, and their teammates stick to the timeline, which is great. 

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m part of the product management team for a stock exchange and financial information company. We have a financial software application where users can access market data. In my role, I’m in charge of helping drive enhancements to our app.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Perpetual?

A lot of different pages within our app were a little outdated, so we enlisted Perpetual’s help to modernize them. My biggest challenge was conveying exactly what we wanted for the product.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Perpetual has helped us with UI/UX design for our app’s pages. Initially, we met with them, provided them with our app, and requested modernizing and cleaning up its UI to make it compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA-compliant).

Before engaging with Perpetual, I had designed my own mock-up in Microsoft (MS) Excel that detailed the data placement we wanted. Therefore, I also send that mock-up to them. Given that we had most of our requirements defined, their team has focused solely on making UI/UX design changes as needed. As for the technology stack, they use Figma for the designs.

In addition to UI/UX design, Perpetual has done some market research for some of the app’s pages. They’ve searched online for how our competitors display the type of data we want to display, which has helped us with our brainstorming sessions to ultimately develop the best way to design those pages. Additionally, they’ve conducted some user interviews to get feedback on the product.

What is the team composition?

We’ve worked with 4–5 teammates from Perpetual. However, three teammates have been responsible for doing the bulk of the work. Their team includes a product developer, a company’s principal, and some product developers.

How did you come to work with Perpetual?

We had worked with Perpetual a number of years ago on a similar project. We went with them again when we needed more UI/UX design work.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together on this project around September 2022, and our engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Perpetual has done a very good job at cleaning our app’s UI/UX and making it more user-friendly. We’ve only gone live with a few of the pages they’ve been working on. Still, we’ve received a lot of good feedback from customers on them because they’re very pleased with the enhancements we’ve implemented. As a result, the usage of those pages has increased.

How did Perpetual perform from a project management standpoint?

Perpetual is very punctual. We have biweekly meetings lasting an hour, and Perpetual is in charge of running those meetings. They do a great job of synthesizing the different problems that arise and the things they’re working on. Additionally, they’ve done a good job of being very quick to reply to emails. It seems as if they were always online because they’re very responsive.

As for collaboration tools, we hold our biweekly meetings on MS Teams, and Perpetual has used Zoom for the user interviews. On top of that, they use Notion for project management.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Although I don’t have a point of comparison because I haven’t worked with other UI/UX designers, I’ve had a fantastic experience working with Perpetual, so I look forward to continuing our relationship. They’re very professional and organized, and they come in with a lot of good ideas.

Are there any areas they could improve?

It would be great if Perpetual were a little more flexible. They tend to hold on to their ideas and feel strongly about some of their proposals, even when those ideas might not be something we want to present in the product. Still, they do a good job of incorporating our feedback.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Work with them! Perpetual will be a welcome addition to your UI/UX design team and present a lot of good ideas, so you’ll have a positive experience.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the director of software engineering for a news and information-based tools company. We create software for our editorial staff to support our editorial workflow, providing and creating content from stories to pictures, videos, and everything else that editorial manages. I oversee multiple development teams.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Perpetual?

We needed to bring in contractual resources to fill in for our development needs. Sometimes we have busy periods where work slows down.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Perpetual has provided resources that do UI development to develop internal tools that are used by our editorial staff. We’ve also had React developers, API developers, and UX designers from their team. We initially used them for UX design; Perpetual came on board to design our platform and implement pieces of our common UI. We currently have more projects in place. 

As we’ve gone through different projects and required UI developers, we’ve asked for specific technical knowledge. Perpetual has provided the developers in the space we’ve defined. They don’t manage the projects; we mix our staff with contractors to fill in the gaps.

We’ve developed multiple sites with them, including an editorial tool for story content production. The product is a Windows Presentation Foundation desktop application that we’re migrating to React with a web UI technology stack; it allows our editors to create stories, edit, provide metadata, and more. Also, it takes them through different workflows so they can get the content to editors and reviewers before they get published. Then, it integrates with our publication endpoint and all the other endpoints we support.

We’ve requested a UI design that’s easy to use, looks nice for our editorial team, and aligns with the new concepts that are common in the web technologies space. Perpetual has created the entire design, including the color palette and visual elements. They’ve also conducted interviews with users to figure out their needs and identify what would work best. They’ve used Figma for the design.

What is the team composition?

The team size varies. Within my space, we have about 10 resources, including seven UI developers, 1–2 UX designers, and 1–2 API developers. Other Perpetual employees are assigned to my peers within the organization, so I don’t know the overall number of resources.

How did you come to work with Perpetual?

Our higher-level staff hired them.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them a few years ago, in June 2019. Our relationship is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We have over 3,000 people in editorial around the globe creating tech content. So far, we’ve met the goals for the year for the features we wanted to deliver and what we wanted to migrate into the web-based application.

We’re also getting a lot of traction on conversion. When we started two years ago with this specific project, we began from scratch; none of our users were utilizing the web UI. Right now, we’re up to 15%–20%, and we’re still progressing toward feature parity.

Users don’t have yet all the features they want in there to migrate everybody to it, but we’ve estimated to have 40%–50% of our editorial staff utilizing our new web application by the end of the year.

There have been bugs, but what we like about Perpetual’s approach is that they listen to feedback and know how to prioritize production issues. They fix the problem and address the root cause. Overall, we’ve had outstanding resources assigned to our project.

How did Perpetual perform from a project management standpoint?

They deliver on time 80%–90% of the time. None of the development teams we’ve worked with has delivered perfectly on time because there are always unknown issues that come into play. However, Perpetual has delivered according to our expectations.

We follow an agile process, and their developers blend in with our squads. Our product managers are Toronto-based, and they deliver the requirements to Perpetual using a sprint methodology and Scrum approach. We also communicate internally through Microsoft Teams and use Azure DevOps for project management. Additionally, Perpetual’s members are assigned a company account to become indistinguishable from our own teams.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We like the quality of the resources we’ve got. We’ve been able to migrate some resources from a high-cost center to a low-cost center while maintaining a good level of quality. Moreover, we’ve dealt with Amish (CEO) numerous times, and he’s very approachable and reachable. He listens, delivers, and communicates extremely well. We value all those things a lot.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Everybody can do better, but nothing comes to mind.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

First, I’d ask if you already have a development team in place. If you expect Perpetual to deliver something from scratch, we haven’t used them in that capacity.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I was a principal at a venture capital firm.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Perpetual?

Over the summer, we led an extensive research project to understand how consumers were thinking in the present and orienting themselves around the future. In an attempt to broadcast our research, we wanted to create a fun, snappy research report that we could distribute widely to a greater base than just other investors. The goal was to get people to subscribe to a community of like-minded individuals looking to help illustrate and illuminate different consumer trends.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We hired Perpetual to produce a research report with a design and quality that would be digestible to a wider audience. They were also tasked with building a Webflow microsite as an accessory to our existing website. The microsite illustrates and highlights our research and helps us identify the different types of consumer archetypes.

We started the project with a discovery phase, which involved a lot of brainstorming and vision-boarding around the overarching design and motif for both the microsite and the research report. Once we had a brand identity direction, we discussed what kind of backend architecture would help us get to where we wanted to be. After that, we started with the implementation phase.

We provided Perpetual with the results as well as various points from our research that we wanted to highlight. Perpetual then crafted the design thinking and user experience and handled the software build and backend development.

What is the team composition?

There were three people from Perpetual whom I regularly engaged throughout the project.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from July–December 2022.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Within a few weeks of launching the project, we got 8,000–9,000 subscribers on the platform with very little marketing push. Aside from that, the quality of Perpetual’s work was top-notch. The quality of their work reflected their experiences and our effective collaboration.

How did Perpetual perform from a project management standpoint?

Perpetual performed well in terms of project management. They were incredibly professional, receptive to feedback, and quick to respond. They were willing to push back when needed and offer things that they felt were best practices.

We used Slack and Google Docs to communicate and manage the project.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Perpetual came in with a wealth of experience relative to onboarding flows, which we were able to incorporate into our process of getting people to subscribe to our newsletter.

Are there any areas they could improve?

There's room to improve when communicating deadlines and timeframes and keeping us on point for potential speed bumps or roadblocks.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I would recommend that any newer clients have a point of view regarding what they want to accomplish and by when and then have the Perpetual team fill in any of the gaps that might exist.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm Manager of Software Development a large multimedia company. The product I manage the team for is a B2B application which allows customers to search for, purchase and download multimedia content

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Perpetual?

We needed to quickly add Front End Developers to our team to help support and grow our Single Page Application

SOLUTION

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

Perpetual had an existing relationship and excellent reputation with the company I work for. They were a natural choice.

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

They provided 4 Front End developers who directly integrated with our team. These developers ramped up on our stack and our process, participating in all SCRUM activities. we use Clojure(Script) so they learned the language as part of the onboarding process. Once up to speed they started working alongside our other developers to help deliver both BAU and Feature work.

Describe the recruitment process in detail.

The hiring was fluid as we were sourcing contractors from multiple agencies. We provided a job description and within a week, Perpetual started providing candidate resumes. All resumes they submitted were worthy of an interview. We conducted a single interview with the candidates leading to a hire or no hire decision. Perpetual had one of the highest acceptance rates out of all the agencies we've worked with.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

With their help we delivered on 4 initiatives in the last quarter of the year while also continuing our BAU work. These initiatives are being incrementally provided to customers and have thus far been received warmly without any major bugs reported.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The members who joined our team are contractors in name only. They are as integrated as any full time member of the team. They participate in SCRUM, provide code reviews, help deploy code, and contribute to forward looking architectural decisions.

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

I really appreciate the higher level of talent their candidates have as well as the white glove communication I get from their staffing team. It has made the engagement with Perpetual pleasant and success full at all stages.

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

There were a couple occasions where newly onboarded contractors hit some blockers which weren't immediately raised. It would be great if Perpetual was overly active during the onboarding process to help ensure any issues are quickly raised and resolved.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a business analyst for a homeowner insurance company in South Florida.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Perpetual?

We needed someone to provide us with web development services.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We started our engagement by talking about our requirements, and the Perpetual team did an analysis of our goals and areas of improvement to revamp the website. Once that was done, we implemented SEO strategies to attract visitors and increase our online presence.

They then presented us with a series of design options and collectively chose the one that was the best fit. Since then, they’ve incorporated a contact information page, phone call automation, and consumer-facing features such as an inquiry form.

The team utilizes Figma and is hosting the platform on Webflow. They’re currently providing us with ongoing maintenance and support.

What is the team composition?

My main point of contact is Shreyansh (UX Designer), but also interact with Amish (CEO), a designer, and a content writer.

How did you come to work with Perpetual?

One of our technical architects came across Perpetual while researching web development companies.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve invested somewhere between $32,000–$50,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

Our ongoing partnership started in November 2022.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We’ve been experiencing significant improvement in our SEO ranking since we’ve utilized Google Analytics to monitor our web traffic. We expect our numbers to improve once we start doing some marketing.

How did Perpetual perform from a project management standpoint?

They’ve been excellent when it comes to delivering items within our given timeframes. The compromises between our team haven’t really impacted our timelines, but they’re highly committed to delivering their work accurately.

We utilize JIRA for project management and communicate through email and Zoom.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We’re impressed with their commitment to success and agility to address issues.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I can’t think of anything they need to improve on.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I’d advise you to maintain constant communication and provide them with channels where they can always reach you, as the team is very flexible when it comes to adapting to any tools.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a technical architect at Florida Peninsula Managers, a homeowner insurance company. We provide home insurance policies in Florida through two companies.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Perpetual?

In 2022, we wanted to upgrade our companies’ marketing websites. The sites were built by different companies at different times and were 7–8 years old. We wanted to upgrade them and move them to a new platform. 

Even though our companies work similarly, because different vendors made the sites, it was difficult to maintain and upgrade them. Therefore, we needed to hire a design firm to build new websites and give us a new platform. The plan was to build the sites in 2022 and go live in early 2023.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Perpetual has designed and developed our companies' marketing websites from scratch using Webflow. Initially, they gave us prototypes, and we approved some of them and modified others. We wanted the same site for both companies but with different themes so that we could easily maintain them. They came up with many designs, and we went back and forth for 2–3 months to choose our options. 

They asked us to participate in our SEO and Google Tag Manager projects to review our Google timeline and history. From there, they gathered the keywords and pages we used. They submitted an audit of our previous websites' SEO.

Per our request, they've built both sites as responsive websites. As insurance providers, we have certain requirements, such as compliance with guidelines. Perpetual has worked with our marketing team to create the pages' content. They've also suggested different tones for the content, and we've settled on the most professional option. Perpetual has also helped us pick graphics for the site to determine what would look best. 

Additionally, we like to inform our users of timelines when our business might be open or closed, and Perpetual has developed banners for this purpose. These banners can help us inform our users when we'll be closed, such as when there's a hurricane coming to Florida. 

Overall, Perpetual has done 90% design and 10% development. They've also provided Webflow training so that we can maintain the basic content and CMS. In January 2023, both sites went live. The websites are hosted on Webflow, and Perpetual will provide design maintenance. 

What is the team composition?

I work with Perpetual's CEO, who acts as the project lead. We also work with one designer, one content editor, and another designer who provides support. 

How did you come to work with Perpetual?

We found them on Clutch. Although I visited other sites, I found Clutch's reviews to be the most detailed. Moreover, I liked that there were many ways to filter my search, such as the project's budget. We also found companies through colleagues and past experiences. 

From there, we had a six-month selection process. During the first stage, we reached out to around 20 companies, got responses from 10, and Perpetual was one of them. Based on their Clutch profile, they had good reviews and were within our budget. 

During the second stage, we put out an RFP. We got four detailed proposals and requirements and checked what each option offered and the platforms they could support. We narrowed our choices to two companies and got detailed presentations from them. Perpetual was the only company that could work with Webflow, which we liked because of its intuitiveness. Additionally, they provided us with two references from previous clients, who gave us good reviews. 

Ultimately, we chose Perpetual. Although they weren't the cheapest option, we decided to go with them due to their style of communication, their presentation, and the detailed information they gave us.

How much have you invested with them?

We've spent around $50,000–$200,000. 

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them around August 2022, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Since we only launched the site two days ago, we won't have specific metrics until after a couple of months. However, we've hired a company to audit the sites' SEO, and the results are very good; there aren't any issues with SEO parameters. Overall, we haven't found any issues with the sites. 

Additionally, we appreciate the SEO audit Perpetual did on our previous websites, which was outside the scope of work. This audit has given us confidence in them, even though we'd never worked with them before. Moreover, the CEO's involvement has also brought us confidence.

How did Perpetual perform from a project management standpoint?

They're extremely good at project management. From the first couple of weeks, their response has been outstanding. Perpetual is very professional, though they're not unapproachable. 

We meet them twice a week, they discuss tasks for the next two days, and then they send us a detailed document with everything discussed. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we haven't done many on-site visits. Still, they're always on time for meetings, and the CEO has been on calls since day one. 

They're also really easy to reach. We use Microsoft Teams, and even though Perpetual doesn't use it within their team, they've installed it so that we can ping them anytime to discuss anything. Additionally, we use email for back-and-forth communication. 

For project management, we use Jira in-house, while Perpetual uses Notion. They've shared all their Notion pages with us for project plans and requirements, and we've opened our Jira network for them so that we can open tickets there. 

The team gives us all the support we need. When we launched the site, we had internal IT issues and finished at 2 a.m. The main designer from Perpetual was with us until we finished, and the CEO stayed with us most of the night. Perpetual also delivered the site early for us to do some integrations. As a result, we've been able to launch the site seven days early. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

Perpetual is a very technically sound company. The project has had some challenging tasks, and they've quickly resolved those issues. I also appreciate how approachable they are. Whenever I reach out to the CEO, he replies within five minutes. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

I don't see much for them to improve; they've been up to every task.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Perpetual's team is good, and their CEO is very involved, so I doubt any new client will face issues working with them. I highly recommend them for web design and development.
