the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m a principal at a Washington DC-based real estate development firm.
What challenge were you trying to address with Brick & Monitor?
We needed help building a new website.
What was the scope of their involvement?
They designed and developed our new WordPress site, from conception to full custom backend work.
What is the team composition?
We worked with 2–3 people from their team.
How did you come to work with Brick & Monitor?
We knew that they worked with another company, similar to ours in a different market. We liked the work they did for that group and reached out to them directly. They’re a small shop, so it felt personal. It was nice to have direct contact principal to principal, and that definitely led us to choose them.
How much have you invested with them?
We spent $6,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working together in February 2020, and we wrapped up in July 2020.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
We’ve gotten very positive feedback so far. It fits our brand very well, and we’re happy with that.
How did Brick & Monitor perform from a project management standpoint?
They were great. The team was very organized and stuck to the schedule.
What did you find most impressive about them?
They’re a very high-touch agency and you get a lot of personal attention. There’s definitely no ego, which is great. The team is open to feedback and suggestions. Additionally, they have great taste, so we knew we could trust them to come up with something we’d be happy within the end.
Are there any areas they could improve?
They could have done better in outlining what content the client needs to put together upfront would have been beneficial.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
My advice is to get on the phone with Brian (Principal & Director, Development) and have a one-on-one conversation. If you share your vision and set expectations with him up front, your site will turn out great.
