The first website became much easier to navigate from the client’s perspective, and it became very efficient for us to operate. The site’s gross sales steadily increased. When the second site was built, it helped us increase sales by 50% and our visibility and integration with Google Merchant.

In the first six months, sales increased by 25%, and gradually grew by 50% in about 12 months. Other KPIs we’ve tracked are the increase in conversion rate, quicker return on investment, and increased website traffic. Employee satisfaction has also increased while working with the new site.

No, there’s nothing I can think of.

They’ve delivered every milestone on time, often ahead of schedule, and have maintained clear, proactive communication throughout the entire process. We’ve primarily communicated through email, phone, and video calls, as well as using project management tools and messaging apps.
What has impressed me most is their responsiveness and ability to adapt quickly to feedback or shifting priorities. They’ve treated our project like a partnership, not just a transaction, and have consistently made us feel heard and supported. Their professionalism and commitment to results have truly set them apart in the web development space.

What did you find most impressive about them?

What has impressed me most about working with ScaleMeUp is how well they’ve understood what we’re trying to do. They haven’t just built a site and called it a day; they’ve asked smart questions, offered creative ideas, and ensured everything lines up with our goals. Overall, it has felt like working with a true partner, not just a vendor. They’ve been super easy to work with, and the results speak for themselves.

Are there any areas they could improve?

The experience has been overwhelmingly positive. If I had to point out anything, it would be that a little more upfront clarity around timelines for smaller revisions could have helped us plan better on our end. That said, they’ve always been quick to respond and have kept things moving smoothly overall.
