Rahim hit it out of the park here. The site works well as designed and I look forward to having the site work as an essential park of my customer care and service.

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

They handled most important areas well. I could have understood the total servicing and pricing better but in the end they were reasonable and agreeable.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m an author and the owner of an inspirational clothing company called VIE by NIQ, LLC.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with AppVerticals LLC?

I needed to create my company’s website.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

AppVerticals LLC has developed two websites for me: my clothing company’s site and my author’s site. AppVerticals LLC has built both sites from scratch using WooCommerce and has given me access to the backend code to see what they’re working on. This also allows me to upload more products myself. 

My company’s site had the product on display, but I had to redesign it because of an issue with an external service provider. AppVerticals LLC is redesigning the site again. As for my author’s site, it showcases my professional information and has a link to my book on Amazon. AppVerticals LLC is also working on updating this site and adding my speaker information since I was recently asked to give conferences at universities and other organizations.

What is the team composition?

I work with 4–5 team members from AppVerticals LLC, including project managers and marketing specialists.

How did you come to work with AppVerticals LLC?

I came across AppVerticals LLC through a Google search. 

How much have you invested with them?

I’ve spent around $5,000 with AppVerticals LLC.

What is the status of this engagement?

AppVerticals LLC developed and launched my company’s site in June 2021, and our engagement is ongoing. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

AppVerticals LLC is keen to listen to their customers' requests and bring them to life. They really believe in my vision, and their work is amazing.

I’ve had issues with my clothing company’s production supplier, so I haven’t been able to sell online, and that’s part of the reason why AppVerticals LLC is working on the site again. On the other hand, my author’s site has received positive feedback, it has an easy-to-navigate layout, and my book’s sales have been steady. 

How did AppVerticals LLC perform from a project management standpoint?

AppVerticals LLC has delivered my company’s site really quickly. We communicate through emails and phone calls. 

I had an issue with a previous service provider because I paid them to develop my company’s site, but they didn’t deliver it. I explained this situation to AppVerticals LLC when we started working together, and they were very understanding with me. AppVerticals LLC has adapted to my budget and really listened to my concerns. They helped me out at the beginning of our engagement, and sometimes I’ve paid them something extra because I really like their work.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I’m most impressed with AppVerticals LLC's ability to understand my vision and translate it into a website. AppVerticals LLC is an expert in web development because they have over 10 years of experience. 

AppVerticals LLC has brought my idea to life with my company’s site, and that’s why I went back and asked them to create my author’s site.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I’d suggest AppVerticals LLC include marketing management in their services. One of the project managers I’ve worked with gave me suggestions about social media marketing, and I appreciated it since I’m managing the marketing myself. Although I don’t have a marketing budget now, I’d love for AppVerticals LLC to include it in their fees. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I can guarantee that AppVerticals LLC is excellent at bringing your ideas to life. 

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the owner of Kona Coffee Direct LLC, a company that distributes 100% organic Kona coffee and chocolates produced in Hawaii. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with AppVerticals LLC?

I needed to build a cost-effective website for my company.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

AppVerticals LLC developed and designed my website from scratch using WordPress. Initially, I showed them my vision, and they built the site around that. 

My main focus for the site was usability because most websites have too much content. I wanted a user-friendly site where people could buy my product easily. AppVerticals LLC agreed with me and developed the site with this in mind. They also continue to offer web hosting and maintenance services.

What is the team composition?

I worked with only one teammate from AppVerticals LLC. I know there were more team members involved in my project, but this teammate was my main point of contact.

How did you come to work with AppVerticals LLC?

I found AppVerticals LLC through an online search. Before finding them, I checked other web designers, but they were expensive and out of my budget. I even started working with another designer, but they didn’t understand my vision, and I decided to keep looking. Finding AppVerticals LLC took me over six months.

I read AppVerticals LLC’s reviews on Google, contacted them, and chose them because they adapted to my budget. 

How much have you invested with them?

I invested $1,200 with AppVerticals LLC.

What is the status of this engagement?

The website development lasted from January–November 2022. Currently, AppVerticals LLC is developing a mobile application for us in a separate engagement. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

AppVerticals LLC was really meticulous. They developed an awesome site with easy functionality. The site was number one on Google search for a while, and this was even before we launched it, when it was still under construction. 

At one point, the site's launch was delayed because I had some operational problems with my coffee supplier. AppVerticals LLC was great at giving me follow-up and suggested ideas to resolve this issue and launch the site.

How did AppVerticals LLC perform from a project management standpoint?

AppVerticals LLC met deadlines. We kept close communication through email, but mostly through phone calls since I like to talk with the team I'm working with.

Another thing I loved about AppVerticals LLC was that they took care of my money and didn't pressure me to spend on things outside of my budget. AppVerticals LLC adapted to my budget, and they were really interested in our growth as a company because as I grow financially, my site will grow as well. 

Whenever I asked for a change on the site, AppVerticals LLC delivered it quickly.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I was most impressed with AppVerticals LLC's passion. They didn't treat me as just another client; their treatment was personal. 

I felt a family atmosphere working with AppVerticals LLC. During this project, I went through some personal issues, and they were very considerate of me. They called me on a personal level to ask about my situation and never talked about work during that time. I had never experienced this with other companies, and that's what set AppVerticals LLC apart. For me, this was true loyalty. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

I had an amazing experience working with AppVerticals LLC. However, the only thing I'd improve is that sometimes, it was hard to get a hold of them through phone calls because they were constantly in meetings. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I recommend you have a business plan before working with AppVerticals LLC. This way, they'll have a better understanding of your goals as a company, and they'll be able to advise you about the marketing strategies you need to get there. 

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the manager of a cryptocurrency fund called Faithcoin. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with AppVerticals?

We needed to develop our company’s website.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

AppVerticals has designed and developed our website from scratch. I didn’t provide any initial documentation, but I knew the website’s requirements. 

Our site’s main functionalities are that users can create an account and get access to a digital wallet. They can transfer money, see their current funds, and purchase more of our cryptocurrency if they want.

AppVerticals has finished the development phase and continues to provide me with web hosting and maintenance services. Whenever there’s an issue with the site, I contact AppVerticals, and they offer troubleshooting assistance. We’ve also discussed marketing services but haven’t implemented anything yet.

What is the team composition?

My first and main point of contact has been AppVerticals’ former project manager, who was assigned to me when the project first started. I’ve had contact with other team members but mostly with the former project manager.

How did you come to work with AppVerticals?

I found AppVerticals through an internet search. I spoke to another 2–3 companies and chose AppVerticals because I liked their business proposal the most. I had an extensive conversation with their former project manager, where I shared all the project’s requirements. 

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in July 2020, and our partnership is still ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

AppVerticals has met my expectations. The website they’ve developed functions the way I wanted it to. My experience with  AppVerticals has been good so far. 

How did AppVerticals perform from a project management standpoint?

AppVerticals has met deadlines. They initially presented a timeline that was extended for technical reasons beyond their control. However, they communicated with me and let me know what had happened, and gave me the expected time they would need to solve it. In the end, this wasn’t an issue for me because their communication was excellent.

During the development phase, I had weekly calls with AppVerticals’ former project manager. We’ve also communicated through emails and had a good communication flow throughout the process. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

I’m most impressed with AppVerticals' work quality. I’ve had a pleasant experience, and I’ll continue to work with them since they’re a good service provider for the stage my company is in at the moment. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

I can’t think of anything for AppVerticals to improve. At this moment, I only contact them when I have an issue with the website, but it’s not that often. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I recommend potential customers stick to the project manager that AppVerticals will assign to their project. This has been helpful for me because I don’t have to talk to many people; the project manager is my go-to person and the one who provides all feedback.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of a development company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with AppVerticals LLC?

We needed help with mobile app development for our business.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

AppVerticals LLC has been our mobile app developer. We had an initial meeting with their team where I explained my needs, and they came up with a plan to design the application. It’s a multiplatform app that has e-commerce features aimed at the recreational fishing market.

Currently, we’re talking about maintenance services for our platform.

What is the team composition?

We’ve been working with around 15 members of their team, but their CEO is our main point of contact.

How did you come to work with AppVerticals LLC?

We found them through an online search, and we reached out to them to ask for a quote. After that, I called them back and had a meeting with the owner. In that meeting, I explained what I wanted to do and started working on it.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent around $40,000 with them so far.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in August 2021, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Their team is amazing and has brought my idea to life; they’ve made everything I wanted them to, and we haven’t encountered any bugs. Our entire team is delighted with the whole process.

How did AppVerticals LLC perform from a project management standpoint?

They’ve been great; we have weekly meetings with the CEO and their team. In terms of tools, we use phone calls, emails, Slack, Zoom, and a project management program where I can see everything they do.

What did you find most impressive about them? 

They’re an open team and have great overall communication — I’ve dealt with other app development companies, and AppVerticals LLC has been the best by far. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

I don’t think there’s anything they can improve on — they’re great and should keep doing what they’re doing.

Any advice for potential customers?

Be clear about your project so they can get a good understanding of it.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I am the CEO of Dynamic LLC, a company that helps people move from one area to another within the US. Our platform is going to be a hub that has all the information that people need when they relocate. For example, users can view relevant information about the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), realtors, state- and city-wide statistics, and similar things. We want to be the go-to place for people’s relocation needs. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with AppVerticals LLC?

We needed help in creating a functioning and user-friendly website. Our objective was to create a site that would be easy to navigate and contains relevant and organized information. We want our users soaking up on the information they need as they go about the process of relocating, without them experiencing difficulties finding what they’re looking for.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

AppVerticals is developing our website that will be a hub for services that people need when they decide to move. When they visit the site, they can access information about changing a driver’s license and vehicle registration from one state to another. We will provide links for the DMV of every state so users can easily start their application. 

We’re also going to have realtor information, and users can sort them per area. That way, if they’re looking for a property in a certain location, we can connect them with the right realtor. We will also provide a list of relevant companies for movers, like junk companies. Our goal is for the site to contain all businesses that are essential for people who are relocating.

We also aim to provide statistics that help people decide where they want to move. We’ll include a list of colleges and universities for the city and state. During the website launch, we aim to have a good number of cities available with all information such as crime rates and recent crime — information that’s going to help people figure out where specifically they want to move, and how they can start the process. That’s what we’re trying to offer the people — help when they move. 

We took some time and had a good discovery phase. Part of it was looking at competitors, as we want to make sure we understand the kind of market available for our platform. 

What is the team composition?

I haven’t been told how many are working for my website, but I primarily communicate with two team leaders just to make sure we’re collaborating effectively. I also regularly speak with the marketing specialist who introduced me to AppVerticals.

How did you come to work with AppVerticals LLC?

Originally, I was working with another person for my business. We have done some research, and we figured out we needed some professionals in order to create a website from the ground up. We couldn’t use one of those website platforms and just go from there — because of what we want to offer, we needed to have the website created from scratch. From there, it would be worth our while to find providers who can help us. 

As such, we talked with at least ten website developers from all over the world, and our conversations were about 10–30 minutes long. I told them what we were looking for: a website that contains a lot of information but remains user-friendly. We talked with some companies multiple times, while some we only talked once. That served as our vetting process and it took a few months. We also studied various apps and service providers online, and we realized that we needed something bigger. 

What stands out about AppVerticals is I felt that I could trust them. I also liked the way they communicated what they thought we needed for our website. They brought something to the table, telling us their ideas about our website. I also liked a website on their portfolio.

How much have you invested with them?

I have spent over $20,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in May 2020, and it’s ongoing. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The thing I like the most about AppVerticals is they look after our best interests, and they’re very flexible. They work with me, and they were helpful when my old partner departed from the company. They are very understanding and trustworthy.

Our website hasn’t launched yet, but I will say working with AppVerticals is helping me understand how exactly I can get this service out to users in a very structured manner. They took my idea and they gave me the ability to narrow down and make my business successful. They turned my idea into a productive reality. 

How did AppVerticals LLC perform from a project management standpoint?

Typically, we communicate via email, but sometimes we talk over the phone. We’re on the point that our teams are in sync and on the same page now. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

I know I can trust AppVerticals to look after my best interests. It makes me feel comfortable working with them, because I feel they want the project to be as successful as I want it to be. It makes me feel good knowing that I get the best customer service, and I’m working with a provider that wants me to excel in this business. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

The communication could have been more specific, since there were times when we had some miscommunication about our expectations. However, they’ve been very flexible, and maybe it was our fault in a way because we could have been better at communicating with them. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Give out clear goals and be specific with what you need. The more specific you are, the better they’ll be able to help you.
