We work with five people, including a project manager. We told them what roles we needed to be filled, and they made the assignments.

Their management and executive team is technically sound, which trickles down to the developers. We’ve had an excellent experience with them, and they have top-notch team leads who are prompt and efficient.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of a company that does software for the education sector.

What challenge were you trying to address with Clever Solution?

We were launching a new brand, so we were looking for a company to help us with web development.

What was the scope of their involvement?

They developed our marketing website. They also developed the enrollment software we offer, for people to find and register for classes. It was a custom e-commerce build. I have complete control of the website to upload all images, text, and downloadable documents. The software allows people to look for classes and register for them. They create an account to check out and pay. There’s also a My Account portion for people to view previous purchases and look at registration. There’s also a reporting feature for the billing. I’m not a technical person, but I think they used PHP, jQuery, and MongoDB.

How did you come to work with Clever Solution?

I put an ad on Craigslist. I don’t remember the exact way we got in contact.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together about two years ago, and the relationship is ongoing.

Could you share any evidence that would demonstrate the productivity, quality of work, or the impact of the engagement?

I don’t have specific stats, but traffic has definitely increased. The project was just finished a few months ago, and we’re still ramping up with our marketing, so I don’t have sales numbers yet. We’ve gotten good feedback on the usability. People love it, and we’re very happy with it.

How did Clever Solution perform from a project management standpoint?

They worked with us to come up with a project management plan that works seamlessly for both our teams. The budget was fixed and they couldn’t go over it, so there was no problem there.

What did you find most impressive about Clever Solution?

They brought passion to the project and they really wanted to deliver a good service. They really over-deliver on goals.

Are there any areas Clever Solution could improve?

I wouldn’t say there was anything negative.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I have a rehabilitation clinic and I’m also the medical director. We provide physical therapy, chiropractic, and acupuncture. We’re not your typical run-of-the-mill physical therapy clinic—we’re one of the top clinics in the country.

What challenge were you trying to address with Clever Solution?

We have sophisticated technology that no private clinic in the United States possesses. These advanced technologies are usually found in research centers but we have them for our patients. We use them for testing as well as treatment. This is something that the general public is not familiar with, so we needed outstanding work to promote this. We wanted the average person to understand that this exists and is available in our clinic. Besides these clinical methods, we also use a sophisticated European approach. It’s a very integrated clinic.

What was the scope of their involvement?

The original goal was to create a better online presence through SEO marketing and an improved website. We wanted to deliver something new, something that’s not really happening yet on the level of general practice. Clever Solution provided tremendous help. They did onsite and offsite SEO, backlinks, pay-per-click marketing, and social media. They also helped me create visual content and managed our social media accounts. I wrote the articles myself, but they geared my writing to what the average person can understand. As clinicians, we are not familiar with marketing, so they helped me through the process of delivering information to a general population. They explained things well and gave me ideas, steering me towards what the public wanted to know.

How did you come to work with Clever Solution?

They were a referral. I found them through a friend of a friend.

How much have you invested with Clever Solution?

We’ve paid less than $10,000 for their services.

What is the status of this engagement?

It’s been ongoing for two years.

Could you share any evidence that would demonstrate the productivity, quality of work, or the impact of the engagement?

They are doing a great job. Once they got to know my product, their work has been fantastic. My clinic has grown about 45% since I started working with Clever Solution. The results are unprecedented and I couldn’t expect anything more.

How did Clever Solution perform from a project management standpoint?

I really like Sergey’s team, especially their personal approach. They’re accessible at any time. I don’t know if they do this with other clients, but in my case, they would go out of their way to understand me. Because my project is very different, they went out of the box to really figure out the best thing to do. On every step of this whole project, on every little thing we do, they have been creative.

What did you most impressive about Clever Solution?

I was impressed by their personal approach. Sergey has been the driver of the team. He really makes your business his personal goal.

Are there any areas Clever Solution could improve?

I don’t know what else they could improve.
