The previous website was on Wordpress and got hacked. The whole website was gone and we needed a complete new website with additional features.

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

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

We had multiple meetings (iterations) to go over the website. The basic website was done in 3 weeks. From that moment it was us who were delated with providing content. The technologies we used were MIRO for a mutual understanding of the website flows. As platform we decided to use Wix.com

The time they take for you is so convenient. They will respond within the hour. Will be attending meetings on short notice. They were very easy to work with — it felt like we were working with our own team.

No, I only think we have areas for improvement as we ourselves were not that organized.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm the director of a nonprofit organization called MNPC.

What challenge were you trying to address with AST & Partners?

We needed help upgrading our website.

What was the scope of their involvement?

AST & Partners has been providing web design for us. I submitted a form mentioning that I wanted to upgrade the website, and they responded quickly. In addition to that, they've also done SEO for us.

What is the team composition?

I've been working with Andrei (Founder), who functions as a developer and a project manager.

How did you come to work with AST & Partners?

I found them through Wix and submitted a form to upgrade my site. Wix has a system where users can send messages when they need support, and people can respond.

How much have you invested in them?

We've spent around £1,000 (approximately $1,400 USD) with them so far.

What is the status of this engagement?

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

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

Within less than a month, they had turned out a fantastic website for us. Additionally, they're easy to work with; they've been very patient, kind, and creative. Their team has also suggested many good ideas and a lot of different approaches. I have had some bad experiences trying to launch this website in the past, and it has been a slow process, so meeting them was such a benefit — they’re very professional.

How did AST & Partners perform from a project management standpoint?

They've been excellent; they're by far the best I've dealt with. For communication, we use Google Meets and phone calls. In addition to that, they've also said that we can review any issues we might have in the next couple of months for no additional cost.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their knowledge of Wix is outstanding; they've made it possible to construct a directory that other providers said wasn't possible, which is impressive.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I don't think there's anything they can improve — we have an excellent working relationship.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Be very clear and write down a list of stuff you need; even if it is basic, write down as much as possible.
