What challenge were you trying to address with Azuro Digital?

I needed help in developing my website. 

What was the scope of their involvement?

Azuro Digital built my website from scratch. The project started with a consultation call with Daniel (Founder), and he walked me through their process, pricing, and services. I also saw some of their previous work and heard great things from their former clients.

After hiring them, I had another call with Daniel, and he discussed the logistics of achieving what I was looking for within the business and website. I gave him my vision of how I wanted my website to look, and he put together everything in a straightforward process. There was minimal input from me throughout the whole experience. 

Azuro also designed various pages on the site, and they also introduced me to all kinds of features. Additionally, they helped me get my logo done by giving me suggestions of companies to consider for the project. They made the process so easy, even though they didn’t do the design themselves.

Currently, Azuro is providing SEO and site maintenance services. Whenever I encounter issues, I call them, and they’ll get it done within 20 minutes. They also update the site for me — if I have a new menu that I’m going to use within the next few days, they’ll upload that to the site.

I’m the owner of an immigration consultancy firm called Scion Immigration Services. We provide immigration support for families and individuals looking to immigrate to or visit Canada.

What challenge were you trying to address with Azuro Digital?

We wanted to increase our online presence, so we needed someone to create a website.

What was the scope of their involvement?

Azuro Digital designed and developed a WordPress site from scratch. We first gave them a general idea of what we were looking for, along with some documentation. They then created the color scheme and logo, which went through a few iterations. Although we provided most of the written content, they also conducted some research and content writing for the site. Lastly, they optimized the content. 

Azuro Digital finished and delivered the site already, but they continue to maintain and host it for us.

What is the team composition?

I worked with Daniel (Founder & Owner) and a logo designer.

How did you come to work with Azuro Digital?

I was googling for agencies in Ottawa and found Azuro Digital. They were highly reviewed on various review sites, so I reached out to them and set up a Skype consultation. I chose them because I was impressed with his presentation and the ideas they had for the site.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent $4,500 CAD (approximately $4,000 USD).

They were a great team that facilitated a pretty seamless project. When I initially asked them for website ideas, they came up with concepts right away.

Their project management was perfect. Azuro Digital was a team of effective communicators who responded quickly. They also stuck to the deadline and budget that they promised us when we signed on. To communicate, we used Calendly to set up meetings and Zoom calls.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I was impressed by their ability to communicate effectively and respond promptly. Whenever I requested changes to the site, they were always quick to accommodate me and make those changes.

Are there any areas they could improve?

We had to write most of the content ourselves because they weren’t immigration experts. However, I understand that it was a niche market, and at the end of the day, I preferred to do my own content writing.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

In terms of the design of the site, know the direction you want to go in. If you have a concept in mind, it will save time and energy because they can get started immediately. They’re great at absorbing that information and translating it into a web design.
