A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m an engineer and part owner at Morrison Weighing Systems. We make in-motion, automatic scales and industrial equipment for factories. We primarily supply the United States, Canada, and Mexico

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Angle180?

We were looking to update our web presence. Mostly, we relied on word of mouth and our website was an afterthought. The business was growing, but we were getting to a point where the website was holding us back. It wasn’t getting information across to customers to the point where they had to call us. The new site had to be professional, and we were more focused on providing information through it than driving sales.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

They built our website from scratch and provided strategy guidance. We provided the majority of the content for the website and they directed us, providing feedback on what we’d written, whether it was too broad and things like that. The website had to be as useful as possible to people.

What is the team composition?

The group we worked with was made up of six people, but 95% of our interactions were with Sarunas (President).

How did you come to work with Angle180?

We spent a lot of time looking at web design companies that were focused on B2B manufacturing clients. Angle180 had the best website and portfolio so we picked them.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked with them from August 2019 until June 2020. The project only took 3–4 months but we decided to take a break during a period where we had a large number of orders and needed to focus on fulfilling them.
 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

I think it’s early since we just released the site but already, but customers going to the page to get our contact information say it’s really cool. They like how the site has a lot of information. The biggest metric for me, though, is that the project is done and the website is better than we could have visualized in the beginning.

We don’t have full-time marketing people at our company, and while we might think we have a ton of good ideas they won’t be as good as professional ideas. That benefit became very clear after we hired Angle180.

How did Angle180 perform from a project management standpoint?

They did well. It was pretty standard in that we gave them a bunch of information and they came back when they had it done. Google Drive and Microsoft Teams helped us collaborate.

What did you find most impressive about them?

If you give them an idea you think is great, then they’ll clarify how to make it better. We do contracting for our customers and it’s easy for us to just do whatever will make them happy, but it’s important to let people know how to get the best possible final product. Angle180 is very good at doing that.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Honestly, I don’t know. I could nitpick but they really did a good job.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Don’t be afraid to ask for explanations into why they do things or push to get what you want because they’ll be open to those things. Also, be open to their input. Be sure to talk things through.

Feedback summary: 

Not only have the site’s refreshed visuals and direction helped build customer trust, but the redesign also helped push higher conversion rates. Angle180’s team is invested in driving client success. They provide invaluable counsel on marketing strategy and take a straightforward approach.

A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the co-founder and CEO of RideShareMechanic. We provide vehicle inspections through video chat for Uber and Lyft drivers.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Angle180?

Angle180 provides a range of digital marketing needs, from overall marketing strategy to web design. We’ve since expanded their role to include SEO and PPC.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We initially engaged Angle180 to redesign our website, which involved handling the backend integration, revamping the visuals, and conducting split testing. From there, they’ve continued to consult us on marketing strategies and are currently taking over our SEO and PPC campaigns.

What is the team composition?

Sarunas (President, Angle180) is our main point of contact; he acts as the middleman between us and the rest of the team.

How did you come to work with Angle180?

My business partner met Sarunas while playing tennis and introduced me to him. I was hesitant about the engagement at first because we’d been let down by previous marketing agencies in the past. But despite my cautious outlook, Angle180 blew me away. They were able to work independently, and we’ve never had to micromanage them.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent approximately $20,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

Their work started in August 2018 and is ongoing. I’m sure that they’ll take on more projects in the future.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Our conversion rates have increased dramatically since our site redesign, and customer trust has also gone up. In the last pay period alone, we’ve seen a 33% increase in conversions. While it’s hard to attribute our success any single effort, I’m confident that Angle180 has been a big part of our growth. As for the SEO and PPC, they’ve just started the campaigns, so we don’t have any metrics on that front.

How did Angle180 perform from a project management standpoint?

Usually, Sarunas and I have a two-hour conversation every 10 days, using email and text in between. He’s been great with adapting to Viber, our preferred messaging app, which is convenient for us, and he’s thorough.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Unlike past service agencies we’ve worked with, Angle180 is willing to get involved and act as a digital marketing partner. It means a lot to me that they’re able to take full ownership of their processes. They’re honest and care about our overall performance. They’re not afraid to tell us hard truths that will ultimately help us.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, I haven’t found any yet. Early in the engagement, there was a misunderstanding between us, and I raised the concern to Sarunas. He was quick to amend the issue, which gave me confidence in our partnership.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

It can be hard for business owners to trust an external agency, but it’s important to trust Angle180 to do their work. Had I realized this from the beginning, things might have moved along faster.

Feedback summary: 

Angle180 revamped the out-of-date website with a beautiful new look and feel. The enhanced platform they designed accurately represents the current brand and depicts the company in an appealing manner. Beyond their outstanding range of skills and abilities, the team demonstrated full transparency.

A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I handle everything that relates to our paving company's in-office work. Our business produces an alternative to asphalt. Since most of our employees work on project sites, I make sure we are stocked with supplies and have our insurance papers in order. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Angle180?

We had several issues with our old and outdated website. After hiring a company to rebrand our business, we wanted to communicate all the new information online. Angle180 came on board to help us create a new site. 
     

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Starting off, we assigned Angle180 the substantial task of building out our new website, which they did beautifully. The team helps us manage our CRM system to make sure everything is flowing properly. They also updated our invoice logo. Currently, we're considering having them work on our SEO for the second portion of our partnership. 

What is the team composition? 

Our main point of contact is Gus (VP of Marketing, Angle180). He goes above and beyond and has been really helpful. I can't say enough great things about him. If I have a quick question, like how to download our client list from the CRM, he’s willing to help. He takes care of tasks we didn't even hire him for and sends me the materials I need directly. I usually contact him once a week. 

How did you come to work with Angle180?

We found Angle180 through a referral who said delivered good work. After we interviewed about three different company, we decided to hire them. I'm really glad we did. 

How much have you invested with them?

We've spent around $12,000 with Angle180. At this time, we're trying to figure out how much we can afford to spend each month on SEO work. 

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together about a year ago in the spring of 2017. As an ongoing engagement, we're still working together regularly.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Our old website made us look like a one-person shop. The new version Angle180 delivered represents us as a very large company, even though we only have about 10 employees altogether. The team did a beautiful job laying everything out and making it flow. The color choices were spot on and matched the logos we had created. 

Even when we were slow to get photos together, Angle180 kept us on schedule and checked on pending tasks. The VP answered all of our questions directly rather than passing us off to someone else. I appreciate that he was always the one who contacted us. 

How did Angle180 perform from a project management standpoint?

Our point of contact from Angle180 responds to us within 24 hours. I know he often travels to Ukraine, but he's always very responsive no matter where he is in the world. 

What did you find most impressive about them?
 
Angle180 does a great job of explaining their plans for our project and capabilities. They're always very direct and never over-promise. Whenever we have a big ask, they come back with a reasonable offer. They outline the costs and resources it would take to accomplish our task. I appreciate the team’s honesty. Many vendors only care about selling you whatever they can immediately. I value the team’s open communication. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

I wish they could start accepting American Express for payments since that's what we use as a company. We currently pay online with a debit card. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

My advice for future clients is to have a clear idea of what you want to accomplish when you start a conversation. Angle180's capabilities are endless. If you put even a far-fetched idea down on paper, they can make it happen.

We have some unique products that our competitors don’t have, and we wanted an inexpensive way to create awareness of our competitive advantage.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We hired Angle180 to conduct research and determine if anyone online was looking for the types of services we offer. The results helped us identify keywords to incorporate onto our site to increase our SEO. They also modified our website to integrate click tracking and hot zones, making it mobile-friendly. We recently wrapped up phase 1 and are moving onto the next stage of the project.

What is the team composition?

We have two main points of contact.

How did you come to work with Angle180?

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

The landing pages on our site were transformed to cater to both paid and organic traffic. Since implementing the changes, bounce rates have decreased while time spent on pages has gone up. Our conversion rates increased by 30% in the first year. All of our target metrics have improved, and the project was a very successful investment.

How did Angle180 perform from a project management standpoint?

They always responded to inquiries in a timely manner. We never had problems with time/resource management, and they delivered on everything they set out to achieve. We have a very good relationship with their team. We communicated via email.

What did you find most impressive about them?

When you ask them for a project, they deliver multiple variations to ensure customer satisfaction and beat the competition. They’re very attentive and detail-oriented in the services that they provide. Their design is fantastic and their code seems very reliable. We’re very happy with the engagement.

Any advice for potential customers?

Keep an open mind and foster a collaborative process. They’ll bring new ideas to the table that you hadn’t considered.

Angle 180 is helpful and agile when it comes to tight turnarounds and revisions based on unexpected client feedback or last-minute work. They’re reliable and responsive, making them easy to work with despite time zone differences. They always communicate transparently and meet expectations on time.

A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

The agency I work for is a communications agency that produces live events plus environments and media and websites, animations, videos. My role is interactive creative director. The majority of our clients are biotech or high-tech firms, but we have some clients in retail and other industries as well.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Angle180?

We did several projects. Each project had a specific goal. They were all web-based projects that needed to be mobile-compatible and were done on relatively short turnaround considering the complexity of the projects. They were done for high-tech clients. One is a Fortune 100 company and one is an IT consulting company.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

The most recent project was an interactive game that was HTML5 mobile-compatible. It included programming and design. It was a multiple-choice quiz game, kind of like Trivial Pursuit, so they had to build a scoring mechanism. They had to build several extra features to make it easy to use, like toolkits, a timer to do weighted scoring, some other log-out, time-out, fool-proof things. And they developed all the graphics for touch-screen from wireframes that I gave them, as well as a file of the user experience, and brand assets from the client, the brand book that you apply to the signage and everything else. So they worked with the client’s desires of staying on-brand, but otherwise they did all the designs. We did this in six weeks, start to finish. My end client was quite happy. So basically their services were development, graphics, and testing.

The other project was a web-based project where they created the page that would let me choose a certain Twitter hashtag and two or three keywords within that hashtag, and any time those are mentioned, the page updates automatically. They used HTML5 for that project as well, and maybe some other things behind the scenes that I don’t know about. But I use it as a webpage.

They actually did two projects similar to that. Another one let me import from Excel and created an animation on the fly. We gave them an established look that the client was using, and they built the graphics from there. I gave them some starting points, some rough sketches, and they filled in the rest.

How did you come to work with Angle180?

I found them through a friend, another designer, who had worked with them and thought they did a great job.

How much have you invested with Angle180?

I’d say that, in total, we’ve spent $30,000. Oh, we did another project as well. Let’s say $37,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We’ve been talking with them for estimates since 2014. We did the first project in 2015 and we’re still working with them now. We’ve had projects in 2016 and 2017.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Could you share any evidence that would demonstrate the productivity, quality of work, or the impact of the engagement?

I don’t have external metrics, but I can say that the end clients were happy. I was happy. It allowed me to meet my deadlines and work within my existing budget, which is super important.

How did Angle180 perform from a project management standpoint?

They were super reliable. We check in when needed on a daily basis, especially as deadlines come up. They have one lead, the person that I deal with, and that makes everything simpler. It also helps with time zones, because I think their team is in a couple of different time zones and I’m in a different time zone as well. I can always call them up if I need something right away. So they’ve been really responsive. Usually there are people available Monday through Friday. If I need help on the weekends, I try and tell them in advance, but they always make an effort to accommodate if I need anything unusual. Because there are several people on the team, I believe they’re never completely closed down, except for things like Christmas and New Year’s. But they would let me know if they had times when they were too busy on something else or if they were all on vacation. We’d work around it. I try to forecast several weeks in advance for what I think I’m going to need, just so there are no days when the whole office is closed. But otherwise, very responsive. They give me all the information I need.

What did you find most impressive about Angle180?

They’re just very easy to work with. They’re very helpful. They’re willing to deal with tight turnarounds. Sometimes the end clients make a lot of revisions. We try to be organized going into a project, but you know how it goes when they start to show review copies to more and more people. People bring up ideas at the last minute, and Angle180 has been great about dealing with that factor.

Are there any areas Angle180 could improve?

No, no issues at all.

The Review
Feedback summary: 

Unique and innovative, Angle180's new design attracted and retained new website visitors. They exhibited a strong work ethic and a deep understanding of the target audience; these features lead to an ongoing relationship partnership.

A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.

BACKGROUND

Please start by introducing your business and your position.

New Concept 180 is a design-build construction company. I am the owner of the company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What business challenge were you trying to address with Angle180?

My business is mainly built on referrals, but I was in a position to expand it. In order to do that, we needed to expose ourselves to new potential clients. The old website had been created around 2010 and hadn't been designed with SEO in mind. It needed to be upgraded and made more visible on search engines and social media.

SOLUTION

Please describe the scope of their involvement in greater detail.

Angle180 handled everything, from designing our concepts to making the site work, and optimizing it for search engines. Their business is not something which I know in detail, so I can't go into technical aspects of Angle180's work. Still, whenever I had a question, it was explained to me by Angle180's team. To me, it was important to create a good-looking and easy-to-navigate website.

We are members of GuildQuality and had to integrate our profile from that platform into the site. We use Buildertrend software for business, so our customers can log into the app through our site.

The site has a blog which is managed by Angle180. They also produced all the content for the site, which is quite large. They're continuing to manage the site's appearance, tweaking it and adding new landing pages.

How did you come to work with Angle180?

I met Angle180 on LinkedIn. We started talking and came to do business. How a customer is treated was important, and I found Angle180 to be a good fit.

Could you provide a sense of the size of this initiative in financial terms?

The cost of Angle180's work has been between $10,000 and $50,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with Angle180 in the fall of 2016. The development took one month to complete. We continue to make changes and additions to it.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Could you share any statistics or metrics from this engagement?

New visitors have been spending a lot of time on the new site, which confirms that it can retain people's interest.

I had a first feedback meeting with Angle180 in January 2017. We are planning to have a second one next week, in order to go over the site's activity. I don't have more specific details since it can take a few months to build statistics.

How did Angle180 perform from a project management standpoint?

Work ethic and the ability to understand my business vision were important elements for me. I felt that I was on the same level with Angle180. I didn't have any issues in terms of project management. If I found any technical glitches, Angle180's technical staff took care of the problem the minute I notified them.

What distinguishes Angle180 from other providers?

The majority of the websites in my industry are doing pretty much the same thing. Angle180 has unique ideas in terms of design, which is something I was looking for. They offered me a couple of layout ideas at the beginning of the process, which were actually different. That told me that Angle180 had a lot of creativity. I see them as being a long-term partner.

Is there anything Angle180 could have improved or done differently?

I haven't noticed anything yet.

    5 - The vision in Angle180's past work was the reason for hiring them. In creative projects, there will always be the issue of not knowing what we're buying, but, in my case, it worked out perfectly. I had an exit option at the beginning of the contract,
