Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

We hired Appassion to lead development of initially one, then a subsequent series of upgrades to our web app to broaden functionality and engage new users, which we wanted built in Bubble.io's no-code platform: first, upgrading the homeowner experience on our marketplace web app; second implementing the vendor experience on our web app; and finally, implementing the user interface for our MVP estimate software, connecting into an external model (ongoing). In each case, this scope included:

• Developing a data structure and overall architecture based on designs
• Building out the web app, based on designs
• Staying agile and adapting development based on adjustments to designs / user feedback
• Standing up API integrations (Custom GPT service, sendgrid, mixpanel, etc.)
• Supporting through deployment to address

Appassion delivered both marketplace web app experiences, and is currently delivering the estimation software interface.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

During development:

• Regular meetings and demos showing progress
• Frequent updates and communication

Post development:

• team and customers using new web app features without issue

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

They do a very good job setting expectations around timeline, communicating progress along the way, and delivering on time. We share a slack channel as our primary mode of communication - Pargev is remained very responsive and quick to address questions / issues throughout our time working together. Pargev also regularly provides advice / feedback on plans, designs and timeline based on his expertise in no-code / low-code development which has made him / Appassion a very valuable partner.

What was your primary form of communication with Appassion?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

Very good at creative solutioning, as well as making Bubble look and behave like traditional software. As a startup that is pushing the boundaries of no-code in some cases and refining / validating our product as we go, this has been a huge advantage, and also one of the most difficult things to source development partners for. He has a very strong command of Bubble and can flex into traditional code to maximize plug-ins and integrations. 

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

No. They've been a pleasure to work with, and we plan to keep working with them.
