Agency Partner Interactive LLC

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of ABC Languages, a language school.

What challenge were you trying to address with Agency Partner Interactive LLC?

We wanted to update our website. Our website was 11 years old, so it was outdated.

What was the scope of their involvement?

Agency Partner Interactive LLC (API) completely redid our website. They developed the new website on WordPress, which is primarily for new customers. They included information forms and some payment options.

It’s hard to explain every functionality because it is a pretty complex website, so it’s better to visit it to understand it.

What is the team composition?

My main point of contact was a project manager.

How did you come to work with Agency Partner Interactive LLC?

We had a consultant look-up, and we also did some research. We shortlisted and compared some companies, and API had a wonderful convergence of really good price points. We had a really good impression of the company overall, and we felt that they were a good cultural fit for us.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent around $10,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together around June 2020, and the website was launched a week ago.

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

As the website was recently launched, we don’t have any metrics on its impact yet. However, we were delighted and very happy with the result.

How did Agency Partner Interactive LLC perform from a project management standpoint?

We communicated via email and Google Hangouts.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Everyone from API’s team was very friendly and knowledgeable, and I got the sense that they really cared about the work that they were doing.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

There’s no advice I can’t think of. They were the ones that helped us figure out what we needed.

We worked together from November 2020–March 2021.

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

I’m the owner of debpurdy.com. My business is primarily online, and I offer divorce recovery counseling and courses as well as e-commerce services.

What challenge were you trying to address with Agency Partner Interactive LLC?

I needed web development services. 

What was the scope of their involvement?

First, we had some meetings to gather information and go over my business challenges and goals I wanted to accomplish. I provided them with a site map, brand guidelines, and website copy. Agency Partner Interactive then presented some designs for me to consider, and after going back and forth with adjustments, they started creating the website. 

The team built the site using WordPress and came up with a solution to set up different dates, times, and amounts for group coaching. 

What is the team composition?

I worked with two main people. Another person was assigned to me after the completion of the website, during the 30-day launch and quality testing period.

How did you come to work with Agency Partner Interactive LLC?

I found them on Clutch. Muhammad (Founder & CEO) was passionate and caring, and he made me feel confident that I would have a stellar experience working with his team.

How much have you invested with them?

I invested $5,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

Our engagement lasted from December 2020–April 2021.

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

The website turned out to be amazing; it looked nice and worked as my storefront, as it should. The team was incredibly patient with me and with all the new ideas I came up with throughout the process. They were always gracious and positive that they could do everything I asked them to. 

How did Agency Partner Interactive LLC perform from a project management standpoint?

Agency Partner Interactive excelled at project management. The team laid out the steps and stages, and I had constant access to my primary contact. We communicated mostly through email and had Zoom meetings when needed. The person assigned to me during the 30-day testing period stayed on top of everything and fixed any issues immediately. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

Every person I worked with was fantastic. I never had to worry or stress because I knew they were taking care of everything.   

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

The team was great to work with; you can’t go wrong with them. They’ll strive to make you happy.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

Lemonade Coaching and Consulting provides consulting to entrepreneurs so that they can make better business decisions. I’m a coach at the company as well as the chief visionary.

What challenge were you trying to address with Agency Partner Interactive LLC?

I hired Agency Partner Interactive LLC to develop my website from scratch.

What was the scope of their involvement? 

Using my provided content and logo, Agency Partner Interactive LLC designed and developed a website for my consultancy. It was a simple project that involved organizing the information on our site. There’s a video playing function that pops up and a contact section where users can get in touch with me through email.

One of the great things that they did was walk me through how to update my content whenever I wanted to change something. They provided the training, allowing me to record the session so that I could refer to it again on my own. 

What is the team composition? 

There were many responsive people on their team. Caroline (Account Executive) was my main project manager, and others were my contacts during the design and development phases.

How did you come to work with Agency Partner Interactive LLC?

My wife won a web development prize, which we used for Agency Partner Interactive LLC. She also knew someone from their team and connected us.

How much have you invested with them?

Because this was part of a prize, I didn’t spend money with them.

What is the status of this engagement?

The project lasted from September–December 2020.

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

The website looks beautiful thanks to its great design and professional finish. It definitely delivers my company’s message. 

How did Agency Partner Interactive LLC perform from a project management standpoint?

Whenever I asked questions, they were very responsive. They adapted to any channel that I was most comfortable with, be it email or Zoom. I could give them feedback over email or comment directly on their designs through InVision. They would then make those changes accordingly. We would also have follow-up calls and emails whenever we progressed from one step to the next. These would let me know where we were and what to expect.

What did you find most impressive about them?

It was the whole process. Because this was my first time developing a site, I wasn’t familiar with how the project would work. Caroline explained the basis to me, talking through the content, design, development, and go-live phases. It was educational for me.

The fact that they trained me on how to update my own content was also great. The team really went the extra mile to make sure that I had the tools to keep moving forward, even though they didn’t need to. I’m not a very technical person, but they were still patient in explaining everything to me.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They’re really good about structuring the project, but I wish they would’ve included time estimates. It would be helpful for the client to receive projected dates at each step.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Ask for the timeline so that you can manage your expectations.

Please describe your company and your position there.

The DEC Network is a 501c3 nonprofit organization driving innovation and economic impact by helping entrepreneurs start, build and grow their businesses. I am the Marketing and Communications Manager for The DEC Network, focusing efforts on communications via newsletter, social media and PR, and branding efforts across our communications channels and our website.

For what projects/services did your company hire Agency Partner Interactive LLC, and what were your goals?

We hired Agency Partner Interactive LLC to re-design our website, converting it to a WordPress site and adhering to updated branding and messaging guidelines. Our main goals were to visually enhance the website, make the navigation more user friendly, and launch it by Q3.

How did you select Agency Partner Interactive LLC and what were the deciding factors?

We had worked with Agency Partner Interactive previously on the design of another website of ours, which is why we went with their services again for this website. I stepped into my role earlier this year and was referred by a colleague to work with the API team on this website.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

The scope of work included: starting from scratch on a WordPress website; designing the overall web template and implementing it into the staging site; making design and copy changes to each page of the website and the navigation (ex: adding a contact box on our "Locations" page when requested); launching the website to go live by ensuring access and certificates were good.

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

We were in communication with one Project Manager - Shahbaz Saleem - and one Project Coordinator - Hibba Batul. If there were additional people working on the website behind the scenes, we did not have any communication with them.

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

The design and functionality turned out great. We have already gotten so many great compliments on our website. The timeline took a little longer than expected, but not on API's side - we had a few major events we had to put a focus on, so we got material to the API team as we were able to.

They took our direction and ideas well, and even helped resolve an issue with the event calendar efficiently. Overall, we are very happy with the results.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timelines.

We primarily communicated with them via email. There was not a set timeline for this project, so when we needed something from them, we would reach out via email and vice versa. This worked well for our team.

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

Taking direction on the design elements in general was very impressive. Even if we just presented them with an idea, they would make it happen. Additionally, they were very good with following up on items to make sure things were coming to completion.

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

No, we were very pleased with their communication and the quality of their work.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

We are a family business, and we manufacture CBD-based cosmetic products. It is a white label company.

What challenge were you trying to address with Agency Partner Interactive?

We are a new business and we needed a company to help us with online visibility, build our website from scratch, and create a logo. We wanted to start showing our company on the web.

What was the scope of their involvement?

Agency Partner Interactive developed a one-page website for our company that presents our services and did the UI/UX design. They also created four logos for us. One logo was for our company, and the three others were for companies we make products for.

What is the team composition?

I had one main point of contact, and I was also in touch with the designers and developers. I had one or two calls with the success manager and spoke with another teammate when I was getting a quote from them.

How did you come to work with Agency Partner Interactive?

I looked online for agencies. I wanted to get quotes from different types of agencies. Out of the four quotes, Agency Partner Interactive was not only the cheapest, but I also had a good connection with them. They asked the right questions, and I felt it would be good to work with them.  

How much have you invested in them?

We spent $900.

What is the status of this engagement?

The kickoff conversation was in August 2020, and last week, I got almost everything. There are some small changes I want to do, but it's up to me now.

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

Agency Partner Interactive is really good. I wasn’t expecting that much because I didn’t know them, and it was my first experience with them. The quality was high, and it met my expectations. I had a wonderful experience with them.

How did Agency Partner Interactive perform from a project management standpoint?

Because it was a really small project and we knew from the beginning what needed to be done, it was done really well. If it had been a bigger project, I would’ve like to have seen the progress and what to expect in the following weeks, but that wasn’t necessary for us. Additionally, the success manager was nice.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The team was really quick, which was one of their best qualities. They reacted really quickly and took care of our feedback quickly as well while maintaining the level of quality.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They could’ve been a little bit more creative design-wise and thought a little bit outside the box.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

As long as your voice is accurate and as specific as it can be, the work will be done quickly and the product will meet your expectations.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

As a new company, we needed to create a professional online presence to bring in new clients.

What was the scope of their involvement?

Agency Partner Interactive created our WordPress website. They built a feature for people to make appointments. Their team also provided a rundown on how to make any changes.

What is the team composition?

I had an initial call with one teammate but then mostly spoke with another throughout the project.

How did you come to work with Agency Partner Interactive LLC?

I met them through a colleague. We all shared a coworking space, so I met a few of their employees. I was familiar with their work and a few of their past clients.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent about $400 on their services.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started the project in June 2020, and it wrapped up in July 2020.

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

They did an excellent job of putting my ideas into a website. It’s what I wanted in a site. As I’ve started to market my services, the platform’s been helpful. I’m more confident knowing that I have a nice website.

How did Agency Partner Interactive LLC perform from a project management standpoint?

We mainly communicated through email. Every few days, we had a video chat through Google. Their team was punctual. We also used a portal for a few tasks. It all worked well.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They were persistent. Their team provided what I needed in a short amount of time. Also, their communication was fantastic.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, the project was smooth.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

It’s beneficial to know what you want and to be able to express those ideas. With that, they’ll be able to craft a unique website for you.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

We’re a petroleum engineering and technology firm working with oil and gas companies. I’m the founder and principal engineer of the organization.

What challenge were you trying to address with Agency Partner Interactive LLC?

We wanted to build an attractive and dynamic website that could both match our competitors’ sites and share our message and value proposition with potential clients.

What was the scope of their involvement?

Agency Partner added value through the whole process, but the primary service they provided was web design and development. First, they reviewed the websites of other oil and gas firms to get a feel for what they were presenting. Then, they brought recommendations on page design and content. They built the new site from scratch, heling with content production and integrating a chatbot into the site.

What is the team composition?

I had a main contact point on their side, but I was in touch with four people throughout the process.

How did you come to work with Agency Partner Interactive LLC?

They’re located in a sort of incubator office, and we attended a startup seminar there. I met one of their sales reps and talked about their services. I considered other companies, but I looked at Agency Partner’s website, and their past work was in line with what we were looking for in terms of quality. Their price was within my budget. They understood that we were a small company with a limited budget.

How much have you invested with them?

The project cost around $4,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked with Agency Partner between March and June 2020. We’re going to reconnect with them for SEO work.

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

The quality of their work is amazing. They’re professional and proactive, and they delivered on time. They spent time with the content, finding images and improving wording. The results were above our expectations.

How did Agency Partner Interactive LLC perform from a project management standpoint?

Their manager was our main focal point. He made sure that everything was done as we agreed. We didn’t use any tracking tools but had constant communication, including teleconferences for reviews. They gave us a timeframe of 2–3 months, depending on how fast we’d provide the content, and everything was on time.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They added a chatbot to our site because our competitors’ websites had them, and the images they found were better than what we provided them. They seem to have a pretty good network to find the people we need for the project, including content creation resources involved with specific subjects and industries. I contacted bigger and more expensive development firms, but they didn’t have content writers for the oil and gas industry.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

Clients should prepare a description of the type of website and content they want to develop to get the most out of Agency Partner’s time.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m in accounting and HR at CTR Aero. We’re an aerospace company working in the manufacturing and distribution of fire control and air defense missiles. We do business with Lockheed Martin and other groups.

What challenge were you trying to address with Agency Partner Interactive LLC?

Our website was very outdated, and we were looking for someone who could manage the site and its hosting. Luckily, we found Agency Partner, and they’ve done a great job.

What was the scope of their involvement?

Agency Partner built a new site from scratch. We liked their work, so we also asked them to design a new logo, business cards, stationery, and other branding materials for us. We gave them pictures that we wanted on the website.

What is the team composition?

We worked with their account executive and other team members, including a project manager and a designer.

How did you come to work with Agency Partner Interactive LLC?

We searched on Google for companies that could build our website, and Agency Partner appeared in the top results. They were also a five-minute drive away from our office. They met us at our office for a website briefing. They understood our requirements very well, and they were also very quick.

How much have you invested with them?

The cost of their work was under $10,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked with Agency Partner between April 2019–February 2020. We also made minor changes during this timeframe.

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

We showed the site to all of our customers after we went live, and everyone was happy with it. The quality of Agency Partner’s work is very good, and so is the impact on the business. We’ve had a few customers ask about the company that did our website, and we’ve referred them to Agency Partner’s account manager. 

How did Agency Partner Interactive LLC perform from a project management standpoint?

They were excellent on the project management side. We didn’t have to explain things to them more than once; they understood everything quickly.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The site is modern in terms of technology, and it loads very fast on both mobiles and computers.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No – everything they did was fabulous.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

Clients should give Agency Partner all of the information and wait for them to bring designs to the table. When we allowed them to work independently, they gave us beautiful designs. They have very creative suggestions in terms of colors and designs.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a partner in a company that provides a website with mortgage and loan resources for homebuyers. It’s a place where people can learn the basic processes for buying a home. We not a lender, but a resource and information site.

What challenge were you trying to address with Agency Partner Interactive LLC?

We needed help with web design and SEO. We had the workings of a website, but it wasn’t efficient.

What was the scope of their involvement?

Agency Partner consulted us on what worked and what didn’t work on our site. Their team noted what we needed to add and change on our site to help us get more traffic. Their work involves a lot of consultation, so they provide recommendations.

What is the team composition?

I have one main contact but also communicate with another couple of their team members.

How did you come to work with Agency Partner Interactive LLC?

I called three different companies. Agency Partner actually answered the phone, so I gave them an opportunity. I didn’t want to go with a mammoth-sized company where I was a small potato and couldn’t get anyone’s attention. I didn’t want anyone too small or too big. Our partner needed to have control and experience.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent between $10,000–$25,000 on their services.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in March 2017 and it’s an ongoing relationship.

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

The quality of their work’s good. I’m happy with them and their work. It was a drastic improvement from where we were in every way, shape, and form—from the look to the quality of the website. API made a daunting task more personal and comfortable.

How did Agency Partner Interactive LLC perform from a project management standpoint?

We utilize a platform, which is nice because everyone contributes information. We can see timelines in real-time as far as what needs to be fixed and who will do it. We see when we need to approve tasks, so it makes the process more efficient.

Their team does what they say they’re going to do, which is important. I expect people to call when they say they’re going to call. They’re professional, knowledgeable, and personable. Their team doesn’t make us feel like idiots because we don’t know the technical aspects of the project, which is good. They explain and define terms well.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their efficiency and organization are important. They’re personable, friendly, and professional. They’re not so big that we can’t get tasks done. I can get their attention.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, nothing comes to mind.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

It’s wise to have a consultation with the decision-maker. My partner and I make decisions in our company. You want to have the decision-maker or the person who will communicate with API to have a consultation and outline the project’s goals. That way, API can understand your needs and give their estimations for time and cost. Introduce yourself to the team’s lead or your main point of contact to establish expectations up front. API did that with me, so it was easy. Be open-minded and trust them as professionals too.
