Aron Web Solutions (P) Ltd.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the director of BestEnough, a software development company. We have clients in the US, the UK, and Australia, and when there’s a local engagement required, we connect with our clients and provide consultants locally.

What challenge were you trying to address with Aron Web Solutions (P) Ltd.?

We outsource a bulk of work, and Aron Web Solutions is our go-to company for this.

What was the scope of their involvement?

Aron Web Solutions provides development services for our clients. They’ve helped us build web applications for clients, whether they’re e-commerce or social networking apps. They’ve also provided maintenance for those apps and continuous enhancements. 

We create the designs in Adobe Photoshop, and Aron Web Solutions builds the apps. The team develops the majority of the web apps from scratch using PHP. However, sometimes the client wants a different technology, and I give flexibility to Aron Web Solutions to see what technology they propose. They’ve worked with WordPress, Magento, and Shopify. 

Some clients provide requirements through conversations, and others provide roadmaps and documentation. Often, the clients’ wireframes aren’t detailed enough, so we elaborate on them and then give them to Aron Web Solutions. Currently, the team is helping us with six clients’ projects, some of which have been running for 2–3 years. 

In addition, Aron Web Solutions provides digital marketing and SEO support for clients establishing a new business. For SEO, they offer a preliminary questionnaire for the client to gather the keywords and locations where they’re looking to market their site. Based on that, Aron Web Solutions delivers a quote and a timeframe. After that, they provide monthly reporting, and I pass that on to the client. 

What is the team composition?

The team composition changes depending on how many projects we have running. We’ve worked with 8–10 teammates from Aron Web Solutions at different times. I consult different project managers for each project and speak directly to the CEO. 

How did you come to work with Aron Web Solutions (P) Ltd.?

I found them through Upwork (then Elance-oDesk).

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent around $15,000–$20,000 in recent years. Initially, we spent $2,000–$3,000 yearly with them, and more recently, we’ve spent $5,000 each year. 

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together around January 2012, and the engagement is ongoing.

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

The biggest metrics of Aron Web Solutions’ success are the speed of delivery and the cost-saving. Their efficiency is excellent, and I’ve never seen any quality issues in their work. Although there have been minor bugs here and there, that’s part of every project. 

Moreover, our end clients consistently give positive feedback for Aron Web Solutions’ work. End clients hardly ever have improvement requests to pass on because we’re intermediates doing quality checks. Still, we never have to spend too much time on quality checks because Aron Web Solutions’ work is good. I’m very satisfied with them — it’s why our engagement continues. 

How did Aron Web Solutions (P) Ltd. perform from a project management standpoint?

They deliver within the budget and are very flexible; if the scope requirements increase by 5%–7%, they don’t increase the cost. 

We primarily communicate through email, where they send us updates. They provide weekly and monthly reports for SEO projects, which are exhaustive and detailed. As a result, we don’t need any other type of communication for long-running SEO projects, and we hardly need to take any action on our part. 

For web development projects, we have weekly or biweekly discussions. When we need something from them, I have direct contact points I can call instead of waiting for the meetings or scheduling a call. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

I’m impressed with Aron Web Solutions’ flexibility and speed of delivery. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

They could suggest more new ideas sometimes, though this may be a big ask considering their cost. Still, they could provide feature or enhancement ideas for projects that have been running for years. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Giving them freedom will bring value to your project; pass on the requirements and give them time. Initially, we were impatient and kept asking them for small things while the project progressed. Later, we realized that Aron Web Solutions is mature enough to work independently. 

Now, we give them some building space and let them return once they’re ready to showcase their progress. This approach has helped us be more relaxed and get better delivery. If you don’t micromanage them, they’ll bring the best results.

We hired Sunil to help execute our client's fine jewellery eCommerce website on Shopify.

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

We chose this vendor based on their reviews, past work, and costs.

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

We had a kick-off call with the design brief, where we discussed our mockups and prototypes, and what we would like to see implemented. Sunil delivered and developed a bilingual Shopify site, custom-coding various features, updating the content as we went along, and fixing any bugs that came by.

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

We worked solely with Sunil, who was the managing director of the firm.

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

Our clients loved the developed outcome, and it was very accurate to our initial brief and design.

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

We used Whatsapp and email to communicate. Despite the time difference, Sunil was very responsive and quick, and we very much appreciated his speedy responses and communicative style.

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

They were very responsive, helpful, and generous with their responses and time, willing to work with our team of designers to come up with solutions.

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

There were some minor bugs during the process, which were all fixed very quickly.

Please describe your company and your position there.

We selected 5 potential companies and spoke to 3 of them. Aron Web Solutions was the obvious choice as they understood the requirements immediately and were clear to communicate costs and timescales.

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

I don't want to get into the work detail, however, the steps were very simple. We explained our needs and they asked several questions to clarify. They then sent through a project plan which detailed timelines, technologies and costs. We received these from other companies but this was by far the most detailed and clear.

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

We worked with Sunil (tech) directly.

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

The site was 80% faster than previously, which was our main goal and operates perfectly on Wordpress, which our team is very comfortable with.

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

They provided daily written updates on the project and answered questions immediately.

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

I would not say there is anything unique about them, but we are not looking for that. They delivered fast and stuck to their scope and timelines with perfection. This is all we need.

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

No

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am a Co-Founder of a digitally native/direct-to-consumer health & wellness company.

For what projects/services did your company hire Aron Web Solution, and what were your goals?

We hired Aron Web Solution to help us develop our e-commerce website on Shopify which is ordinarily quite challenging to develop on. Our goal was to find a partner who could quickly and effectively help us implement our front end designs as well as support our continued iteration of our e-commerce experience.

How did you select Aron Web Solution and what were the deciding factors?

We were referred to Aron Web Solution by a trusted friend who has worked with them before. He had great things to say about Aron and said they do good work at a reasonable rate.

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

The scope of work is primarily focused on implementing the front end designs (desktop + mobile) that we come up with. The work flow is as follows:

1. When we have new designs or elements to implement, I send it Sunil for a quote in terms of how many hours it may take.
2. After approval of the quote, Sunil gets to work and typically submits work for review within 24-48 hours.
3. We then check for accuracy of his work based on our designs.

We submit any comments for fixes and Sunil works until he gets things right. Technologies used:

• Shopify: E-commerce platform
• Webflow: front end design
• Slack: communication

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

We only work with Sunil at Aron Web Solutions.

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

Overall, I've been pleased with the work that Aron/Sunil has produced. He works fast and is reliable.

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

We communicate via Slack which makes things streamlined and easy. Slack is key because we give detailed feedback on what needs to be fixed or needs to be made accurate to our designs with text instructions and supporting screenshots. Slack makes it easy to do this.

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

Just how fast they work in combination with a reasonable rate was impressive.

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

They could do more QC on their end to make sure the end result matches our design more closely out the gate so we don't have to submit as many requests for fixes after.

We were migrating from Magento and being a wholesaler we had a lot of bespoke requirements for front end and backend. We hired Aron Web for Shopify Dev and Shopify App creation work.

How did you select Aron Web Solution and what were the deciding factors?

Aron Web Solution was the first to respond to our request. It was the approach and understanding of the work which attracted us to choose Aron web solutions. A lot of other agencies were too quick to respond without reading the actual request. As we are wholesalers we had very different requirements than your standard e-com. Aron understood the requirements and gave clear solutions and that can only be done once you have good depth and breadth of knowledge.
