My first request to Artilab was to bring my business website back to life, because due to poor development, it did not work properly and did not even load. There were many critical errors.

The initial scope of work with Artilab was to analyze the existing website's potential problems and look for improvements. The team also investigated the green zone for core web vitals (TBT, LCP... etc.). 

After analyzing and collecting all the data and understanding how to make the website better and more performant, the team started development, which included developing additional pages, modifying the existing website, and adding features for the website. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Artilab achieved the target speed parameters in Google page speed, showing that the website loading speed approached 100. At the same time, other vendors found it difficult and practically impossible to achieve such a result.  

Also, additional features and pages of the website were delivered on time and with good quality, which speaks to the high professional skills of the whole team.

Some bugs despite testing get to production where they are detected by the client, which created unpleasant conversations. More attentive testing on production would be good, especially regression testing.

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

We worked with Artilab to create a new website on HubSpot CMS, and they had a ready-made design from us. Due to the specifics of the design, standard HubSpot modules and widgets were not suitable, so the team created their own modules that met our requirements. What's interesting is that the development continued while our old site remained active, and the new pages were published without any glitches. 

Artilab also transferred all the articles from the old site and made the necessary redirects at our request. The site was thoroughly tested several times to make sure everything worked perfectly. We were very pleased with the result and the team's work.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

A completed website that works for my business. So, my request was a bit specific to the team, but nevertheless they did a decent job of developing a website for me, delving into the Habspot CMS, learning all the nuances, and there were quite a few of them. So I can honestly say that this is a great team of developers for whom nothing is impossible at all.

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

Artilab brought together really qualified specialists in both technical and business areas. The team is very professional and responsible in its approach to project development, and is constantly in touch. When there were controversial points in the development, we discussed them and came to the best solution. The project was completed very quickly, within the agreed timeframe.

Before starting work, the Artilab team conducted a detailed audit of the website, identifying a total of 35 technical and visual bugs, which were then taken into account. Some pages especially needed fixes and updates. The home page looked outdated and resembled a document rather than a website.

There were quite a few broken buttons, which made it impossible for customers to perform targeted actions on the site. There were errors in the shopping cart. So the team performed a partial redesign and corrected logical and technical errors.

They did a great job with this task, and I was very pleased with the result. One of the main tasks was to create a discount functionality when selecting a certain quantity of goods. For example, when you choose from 15 to 25 envelopes, you get a 5-cent discount, from 25 to 35 - 10 cents, and so on.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

After the improvements, my online store is fast and error-free, and has a nice, modern look. This helps me to attract more customers who make purchases.

The project management of this company is really high quality. They are very responsible in their approach to the work, deadlines and budget.

Our website was being developed, but the previous vendor could not complete the project, so we turned to Artilab to get our online store up and running. After discussion and technical audit by the team, we decided to redesign the main pages: home page, product page, and catalog.

In the work taken on these pages, along with this, the team fixed bugs that arose after the previous developer. Also, the work of the shopping cart on the site was fixed, as this main feature simply did not work. The developers improved the work of the shopping cart, rewriting the functionality almost from scratch, and now everything works perfectly.

The most important result is a ready online store with all the necessary features and integrations that help us sell our product. Artilab had also developed an excellent gallery of products and integration with Monobank for convenient payment.

The main task we asked Artilab to carry out was to develop a new website for our organization. It was especially important for us that the website had a modern design and easy navigation. We also expected fast loading speed and overall excellent performance. The work also included migrating a lot of content from our old website.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Artilab really surprised us with the results of their work. Their technical team demonstrated a high level of professionalism by developing a fast-loading website and transferring all the necessary data in a quality manner. According to Google PageSpeed, the page load speed reached 97 points and was in the green zone, which is a significant achievement. Website owners know how difficult this is to achieve and how rare it is for web developers to deliver such results. 

Thanks to the new design, our website has been enriched with many new blog categories and pages, making it much easier to interact with visitors.

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

I can describe this team as those who can be relied upon at all project stages. Starting with communication and project evaluation, it was clear that there were no tricks, we would get what we expected on time and for the amount we had agreed upon. Communication was enjoyable, open, and transparent. We were delighted that the speed of response to our requests was breakneck, which allowed us to solve any issues immediately.

Project management and delivery were done on time, there were no delays. In the end, we are happy with the team, not only for their technical expertise but also for their overall approach to project management and customer focus.

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

I turned to Artilab because I had 2 projects that we were just to busy to complete. I needed a development team that would come in and hit the ground running.  Firstly, I had to update the main page of a website using WordPress and Gutenberg blocks. The main work on this project was as follows:

• Layout of the new design, header and footer of the main page of the site
• Integration of the layout into new Gutenberg blocks and extension of the functionality of the old blocks. To do this, Artilab used the React library together with JS and PHP programming languages.

The second project the team worked on in parallel was a website on Elementor for POC with a booking functionality. The general set of tasks was as follows: 

• Develop the website from scratch according to the design
• Set up user registration and authorization. 
• Develop a user profile. 
• Configure the booking plugin to work as per specification.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The Artilab team were very professional. It was important for me to complete the projects on time, and they did a great job. The Elementor website was designed to be shown to investors and had to be a high quality prototype. Artilab did a great job with this. 

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

At the beginning of our work, I noted that I had clear deadlines and that projects should be completed to tight timescales (within a month). I got the result I expected. The team did the work quickly and efficiently. We had excellent communication, and I always received answers to questions quickly. It's very impressive as communication and management is so important to the success of remote projects.
