Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Deliverable consisted of creating the webpages for our religious organization. Most of the written content was provided by us to the developer, so teh developer merely had to place the texts, menu, pictures, color scheme all together for a working website. Some adjustments were made and some small amount of content & pictures were sourced by the developer. Overall, it was a simple site, with many pictures, engaging design, and properly titled pages. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Website was reviewed at several junctions, before and after change requests and befor and after any meetings with the developer's representative. As we got closer to going live with the project, and even after having gone live, more meetings were held, directly with the actual developer employees of the development team so changes could happen faster. At each turn, we reviewed the site and made sure there were no errors or nonfucntioning pages. 

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Yes, they delivered on time and were engaging. They constantly reached out to us to finish the project and ask for the next steps (content or pictures for a webpage, for example), in case that step was not outlined from the beginning. 

What was your primary form of communication with ControlF5?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

They involved 3-4 people for such a small, simple project, and their engaging, warm nature was also very engaging. They constantly reached out to us to move the project forward, which helped bring it to fruition. They were also quite responsive in case change requests were made. 

Are there any areas for improvement or something ControlF5 could have done differently?

I had wanted a slightly fancier site with more moving images, videos, so if they are able to source those, with a ready made template, that would be amazing. Perhaps a ready-made template for a religious organization such as ours, it would be helpful for the next client like ours, instead of creating everything from scratch. Some widgets like calendars would also have been helpful.
