The Review
Feedback summary: 

Initial feedback on the website has been positive, and Dazze Studio has proved to be responsive to issues. They have extensive technical experience and use it to manage complex engagements while communicating clearly with non-technical clients. Customers can expect a hands-on partner.

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

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I am the manager of a fashion store in East London for women and homeware, and we are going to introduce menswear next season. We are relatively small, and we launched in 2018.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Dazze Studio?

We wanted to launch an e-commerce store.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

They built the whole platform for us. We had approached Jamie (Founder, Dazze Studio) and told him how we wanted the site to represent our store digitally.

The site is built on WooCommerce. It is a regular online store with a brand list, “about us” page, a wish list, and a pre-order section that we haven’t launched yet but will in the future. It’s also connected to our Instagram.

We have a system called Retail Pro that acts as our booking in and booking out system. It’s where we create all the products. We had to make sure that the website spoke to Retail Pro, and to do that, I think we had to get another platform called Octopus. Jamie organized all of that.

What is the team composition?

We worked with Jamie, and his wife did the font and colors.

How did you come to work with Dazze Studio?

They were suggested to us by a mutual friend. When it came to doing the website, we felt more comfortable going with someone who was suggested by friends and whose work we’d seen. We didn’t even approach anyone else. We did look at other website developers but decided to go with Dazze Studio.

How much have you invested in them?

I think it was around £20,000 ($2,500 USD).

What is the status of this engagement?

It began in April 2019. It hasn’t really been completed yet, as they still help us out. Whenever I have a problem, I speak to Jamie. The e-commerce site went live in October 2019, and he does ongoing maintenance for us.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

The feedback has been good. We are a smaller operation that’s only been around for over a year, so it’s slow, especially considering the current situation with COVID-19. But, we’re all hoping it will get better. It still hasn’t reached the stage where we can say we make most of our money from e-commerce. Before we shut the store due to Coronavirus, we were still making money predominantly through walk-ins rather than online, but I think it just takes time.

We maybe had a couple of glitches where the price was showing without text, but it was dealt with. People haven’t really raised any issues or any problems.

How did Dazze Studio perform from a project management standpoint?

It was quite good. My knowledge of e-commerce is quite limited so I wouldn’t know how to do the whole backend and frontend. I also wouldn’t know how to manage it. I just told them what we wanted the website to look like and what features we wanted, and Jamie made it happen.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I think Jamie is really hands-on, and I felt really comfortable approaching him at any time of day, and he would reply. He was really quick at sorting things out and dealing with issues whenever they happened. If I wasn’t sure about something, he would change it. Communication was easy with him.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, not really. I don’t think I am the right person to ask because this is the first time I have been involved in launching an e-commerce site.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Be clear about what you want. From the very beginning, you need to know how you want the pages to look. I don’t know much about the backend but I understand the look of the website. Just be clear about what you want and what you don’t, as I think it makes everyone’s life easier.

The client submitted this review online.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the owner of a curated e-commerce store selling directional, handpicked vintage womenswear.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Dazze Studio?

To develop and build our e-commerce store! I had initial design ideas, but aside from that I was a total novice and hired Dazze to guide me through the entire process.

What were your goals for this project?

I wanted the website to feel super unique and so challenged Dazze with a stripped-back aesthetic, but which still functioned like a leading online store.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

He was recommended to me by a previous client of his.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

The project began with me sending across initial designs and then Dazze building the concept out with a constant dialogue advising on what would function best for the customer journey etc.

What was the team composition?

I always dealt with same, one person, which really helped to ensure the communication was streamlined and nothing got missed.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?

We managed to generate some organic sales purely through the website, internal SEO work and press.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

I set an initial month for completion which allowed Dazze to put together a comprehensive schedule which was adhered to and completed on time. Once again, there was a contact feed of communication from the team with updates and developments.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Their speed and efficiency impressed me. This applies to both the initial and additional development work as well as the continued support throughout.

Are there any areas for improvement?

It's great that I'm able to manually update and work on the backend but I do believe a more simplified backend system would have been beneficial for speed and efficiency, especially when it's only myself working on the project.

The client submitted this review online.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

Uniform Wares is a small, independent watch brand based in London. Our watches are produced by our manufacturing partners in Switzerland but everything else from design and marketing to sales and dispatch is done in house, from our East London based studio. I am the Creative Director and CEO, taking care of product design and overseeing all aspects of the business.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Dazze Studio?

Dazze Studio was hired to review and take care of a number of updates to our website, which was underperforming at the time due to bugs with the checkout process and a generally inefficient shopping experience.

What were your goals for this project?

We wanted to improve the checkout process, ease of shopping products and general user experience on the website and ultimately increase conversion as a result.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We had worked together in the past and I was very impressed with their in-depth technical knowledge, speed, and professionalism.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

After fully reviewing the website, they identified it's main problem areas with the priority being the checkout process, where we had been experiencing a high rate of drop off. They conceded that this was largely caused by the checkout being too cumbersome and so rebuild a much simpler, one page checkout process which reacted in an immediate 20% uplift in conversion.

What was the team composition?

I was responsible for identifying the fundamental issues and requesting the work but am not from a technical background, so relied heavily on Dazze to review and identify what the specific causes were and manage the work required to fix them. We also had a separate digital marketing manager and another developer on hand to support basic work but Dazze spearheaded and oversaw all development projects.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?

After months of disappointing sales performance on our website, which otherwise seemed to be doing well, Dazze identified that though our traffic volume and interest in our product was positive, the inefficient checkout process meant that we had a high rate of drop off, causing very disappointing conversion.

Once identified as one of the main issues, Dazze designed, built and had a new checkout process up and running within days, having and immediate effect on our sales, increasing conversion by 20%.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

Dazze would report directly to myself on main projects, managing the additional developer themselves and working in parallel with the digital marketing manager.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Their combination of in-depth technical knowledge, speed, and professionalism, combined with their friendly nature made them a pleasure to work with. This also instilled in me a level of trust that is rare in this industry, meaning that I could leave them to manage projects in the knowledge that they were doing things in the most efficient way possible and that the quality and speed of their work would be proven by the clearly evident results it delivered.

Are there any areas for improvement?

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

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m an e-commerce consultant for ABLT Partners. They invest and advise brands that are looking to grow within the fashion sector, particularly focusing on e-commerce and retail.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Dazze Studio?

We needed a new developer for our website.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

First, Dazze Studio looked at the former setup of the platform, which was built through Shopify. We knew certain features weren’t initially developed correctly, so their team reviewed and resolved those issues. Then, they also provided SEO services. Their team updated the platform’s top navigation, return policy, shipping fees, and everything that’d increase usability.

One major update is how the website can now accept US dollars — this was one of our priorities. The site is still on Shopify, and Dazze Studio handled everything dealing with that. They also completed a lot of UX designs for the frontend.

What is the team composition?

I only worked with Jamie (Founder) and didn’t speak to anyone else. He was my point of contact.

How did you come to work with Dazze Studio?

They were a recommendation from another developer we recently worked with. That developer said Dazze Studio would be a great agency to work with.

How much have you invested with them?

We invested £4,000 (approximately 4,700 USD).

What is the status of this engagement?

The project lasted from November 2019–February 2020.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Everything we asked for was done to a really high standard. The Dazze Studio team never made any negative comments. The website looks great and nothing needed to be changed once it went live. Everyone is very happy with how everything looks and functions.

Dazze Studio’s work was very well done and researched. If there were any problems, their team was very transparent about it. If a bug was found, they told me immediately and resolved it. It was clear they weren’t trying to hide if something had gone wrong. I’d definitely work with them again.

How did Dazze Studio perform from a project management standpoint?

Jamie was really good. He is very organized and contactable. What’s more, he always did everything that was asked.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Dazze Studio is very efficient and organized. Nothing was ever too much trouble for them. I never heard Jamie say he couldn’t do something.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, I can’t think of anything.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Definitely talk to Jamie, get a proposal, and see what you think. I’d highly recommend working with them.
