Website Redesign for Mechanical Engineering Company
“They did a good job at executing our requests.”
the reviewer
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 the business development manager of an organization that manufactures precision machine components and assembly systems made from those components.
What challenge were you trying to address with Comrade Digital Marketing Agency?
We retained Comrade Digital Marketing Agency to redesign our website.
What was the scope of their involvement?
My time with Comrade Digital was limited to the last four months of the project, so I can only speak to that timeframe. They’d recommended some improvements to our website, which we undertook along with some other maintenance activities.
What is the team composition?
I worked with Reed (Senior Account Executive) and Anna (Project Manager) who worked on our design.
How did you come to work with Comrade Digital Marketing Agency?
I wasn’t at my company when we made the decision, but I understand that we solicited bids from several website designers and found Comrade Digital to be the most attractive.
How much have you invested with them?
It was less than $5,000. The project costs weren’t high since we were just doing site maintenance and minor improvements.
What is the status of this engagement?
The project lasted from July–November 2020 before we switched to a different agency. The only reason stopped working with Comrade Digital was that we wanted someone local to us (their design team was in Russia). Location aside, we were pleased with Comrade Digital’s work.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
Their team was always responsive and helpful. We told them what we wanted to be done, and they reacted quickly to do it. They did a good job at executing our requests.
How did Comrade Digital Marketing Agency perform from a project management standpoint?
They were generally prompt at meeting deadlines, though we faced some difficulty with the nine-hour time difference. Because their design team was in Russia, we had to wait a day or so to get an answer overnight.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Their overall knowledge about web design was impressive.
Are there any areas they could improve?
It’d be helpful if they staffed local designers and technical support to mitigate the nine-hour time difference. That was the only downside for us.

What challenge were you trying to address with Comrade Web Agency?
Our sales cycle is usually around nine months or longer. In that timeframe, we need to provide them with a lot of information, which requires a lot of back and forth, conference calls, and web demonstrations of our app.
We realized we could provide more information online, so we needed a partner to develop a website. needed a web site that provided a good balance of mystery and making sure that the visitor felt like they're in the right landing spot to start with.
What was the scope of their involvement?
They built our site from scratch using HTML5 and WordPress They did all the technical work, but I had a solid idea of what I wanted to do ahead of time. I envisioned a parallax view with continuous scrolling and a monochromatic color scheme. I didn’t want a lot of other fluff because I didn’t want users to be distracted from the message.

I’m the co-owner of a company that sends technicians to the homes of families that have head lice.

We wanted to improve our rankings on Google, so we hired them for SEO, PPC, and a website revamp.
What was the scope of their involvement?

Each month, we receive reports that document the number of hits on our site and Google Ads campaigns. We’re happy with what we’ve seen from them so far. It’s still early in our relationship with them, so we don’t have metrics on how successful their work will be for us.
How did Comrade Web Agency perform from a project management standpoint?
The overall communication is very good. We communicate over the phone once each week. If I have additional questions, I call or email her. They generally meet our deadlines, but a few have slipped in the past.
What did you find most impressive about them?
The website is now more attractive and moves faster. Eventually, we’ll be able to update the site ourselves, rather than relying on their services for quick updates.
Are there any areas they could improve?
It’s too early to tell at this point. I wish that they could move a little more quickly, but I think there’s a lot of behind-the-scenes work involved that I don’t see.

Don’t expect an overnight change in SEO. Time will tell whether your investment is paying off in the SEO world.

They built me a WordPress website with plenty of functionality. We were replacing my old, templated website with something that would better reflect what my business does. They brought us into the 21st century with new features and graphics.
What is the team composition?
I worked with three people, including Reed (Senior Account Executive) and Anna (Project Manager).
How did you come to work with Comrade Web Agency?
Through a trusted advisor, they and a few other companies were referred to me. I selected them through a process of elimination.

The cost of the project was about $20,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We collaborated from January 2018–August 2020.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
I was very happy with the quality of service. They met our expectations.
How did Comrade Web Agency perform from a project management standpoint?
We communicated through email, phone, and video conferences. There were delays on both sides of the project, but they did a good job of meeting deadlines. They were willing to work at my pace, completing the project as I had time to devote to the effort.
What did you find most impressive about them?
The end product was sufficient in quality. They were patient, creative, and flexible. I was happy when we reached the final product. In order to satisfy me, Reed took on a lot of work. That was appreciated.
Are there any areas they could improve?
The project took a good deal of work on my part. All of the work was worth it.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
While some of their services are a little expensive, you can trust Reed and Comrade to deliver quality work. Still, do your homework and clearly define what you will be responsible for and what they will actually do. You must understand that once you start this project, you as a customer need to commit time to it on a monthly, if not weekly basis.

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 the marketing coordinator for a division that is under a machinery company. We sell and do service on medium-speed engines.
What challenge were you trying to address with Comrade Web Agency?
Our website was very outdated. We wanted a refreshed look — something that reflected our company in a better light. We also wanted to implement an SEO strategy plan.
What was the scope of their involvement?
Comrade Web Agency used WordPress to create our website. They first delivered a design, and we went back and forth on that. They were able to customize the code that was needed to complete the website.
The team also implemented an SEO program in the backend. Once the website launched, they went into our Google Search Console to help us with SEO as well.
What is the team composition?
The core team consisted of three people, but we interacted with about 15 team members when it came to feedback.
How did you come to work with Comrade Web Agency?
I found them through a Google search. We also talked to other firms, but we thought that Comrade Web Agency was a good fit because of how flexible and customizable they were. We also liked their initial design work, and their account rep was easy to talk to.
How much have you invested with them?
We spent about $12,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We worked together from fall 2017–January 2019.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
The functionality of the website is great. It’s easy for the user, and it’s easy for us to add content. It was important for us to have control of the website so that we could update it as needed as opposed to going to someone else.
How did Comrade Web Agency perform from a project management standpoint?
Their project management was good. It helped that we only communicated with one person, and we used phone and email. They were good about being flexible and being able to customize their work according to what we wanted. We never felt restricted.
What did you find most impressive about them?
The most impressive thing about them was their customizable development. We could tell that they were skilled when it came to development.
Are there any areas they could improve?
They could’ve been more upfront and transparent about certain aspects of the project. Other than that, they performed quite well.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Be completely transparent, and clarify each aspect of the project. Make sure that nothing is ambiguous because things can get lost in communication.

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 the managing partner at Rivas & Associates.
What challenge were you trying to address with Comrade Web Agency?
We hired them to create our website.
What was the scope of their involvement?
Comrade Web Agency designed and developed a completely new WordPress website for us. They built the site to be as optimized as possible.
Comrade also helped create our firm’s logo.
What is the team composition?
I worked with 2–3 people from Comrade. Reed (Senior Account Executive) was my main point of contact from the beginning. He presented their work and checked in on me.
How did you come to work with Comrade Web Agency?
I Googled ‘modern, clean-looking law firm websites,’ and Comrade Web Agency appeared in the search results. We chose them because they were very responsive and their websites looked really good.
How much have you invested with them?
The total cost was about $9,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
I think I reached out to them in November 2019, and the website launched in July or August 2020.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
I’m really pleased with the website and logo. They definitely portray the image I want. I’ve gotten a lot of feedback from people who say the website looks very good and optimized, and that it doesn’t need much work right now because it was done right.
How did Comrade Web Agency perform from a project management standpoint?
The communication was very good. Any time I reached out to them, they got back to me. The deadline was reasonable; if anybody dragged their feet, it was me.
We communicated via email and phone calls.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Comrade was eager to please. They were persistent in convincing me of this product, and then making sure that I was getting what I wanted throughout the process. They were very prompt in communicating with me.
Are there any areas they could improve?
I think the logo design could’ve improved a little bit. I liked the logo they created for the law firm, but when I tried to hire them for a side firm’s logo, we couldn’t connect creatively. I wanted more of a locally-themed logo, and I think they just weren’t knowledgeable of my locality because of the distance. However, that was the only thing.
Any advice for potential customers?
Be ready to be engaged with Comrade because they want to make sure you’re okay with the direction they’re going to go in, as they should. They will need and want to talk to you to verify things, so just make sure to make the time for them.

the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.

What challenge were you trying to address with Comrade Web Agency?
They were working on SEO, PPC, and social media marketing.
What was the scope of their involvement?
Just as I was joining the company, they put together a quick website to support a trade show that was a few weeks out at the time. Additionally, they’ve done some patchwork on our old, template-based website to improve it from a marketing perspective.
Since then, I’ve worked with them on two other website projects. One is for fluid air safety products, while the other supports a product that’s offered through our sister company. Two of the sites are on Shopify and the other two are WordPress sites. They ran advertisements on Facebook and LinkedIn to get the word out about our services as well.
What is the team composition?
I work with a few designers and project managers as well as a marketing manager. I have two points of contact for SEO services and another two main points of contact for web development.
How did you come to work with Comrade Web Agency?
I inherited the relationship. However, it was important to our owners to be able to meet with partners face-to-face. We searched for local companies specializing in digital marketing and web development.
How much have you invested with them?
We’ve spent between $60,000–$80,000.
What is the status of this engagement?

We communicate regularly, meeting monthly to discuss PPC and SEO metrics. There, we also speak about new tasks or requirements. If something needs to be repaired or replaced, we’re able to easily request that. We’re working together on a new scope of work currently.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Their depth of experience and specialization offers a lot of value for our team.
Are there any areas they could improve?
We’ve had issues with launching sites in the past. They’ve declared sites finished when there were still changes that needed to be implemented and aspects that clearly had not been tested. This isn’t an earth-shattering issue, but it’s been my greatest source of disappointment with them.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Expect to build in some post-launch time for adjustments to the site, which should be coming with any project anyway. It’s important to have a thorough testing and tweaking phase.
