Designekta Enterprises

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of Sparol Solutions Limited, a professional cleaning service.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Designekta Enterprises?

We needed a website and a web domain registered. We also needed a party that would maintain our back-office activities in terms of operating our systems on the website and also watching our emails and protecting us from viral attacks.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

They developed our website. They also do promotional materials for us. They design them for us and we put them out there.

What is the team composition?

I had one main point of contact.

How did you come to work with Designekta Enterprises?

I knew about the owner way back when I was still in university. From our interactions, I liked how good he was when it comes to IT. I always had his contact information. I knew that he opened a firm and when we were looking for someone to do a website, amongst all the companies I interviewed, they appeared to be more experienced in what they showcased to me.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent less than $5,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in January 2019, and the work is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We’ve been able to get a lot of new clients through the website and promotional materials.

How did Designekta Enterprises perform from a project management standpoint?

In the process of setting up the website, my point of contact established a WhatsApp group where his partners were pulled in to work on my assignment. There were three different parties that were in that group. Communication was easy. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

I can reach them at any time. They’re good in terms of delivery, and they have the experience. They’re really dynamic and flexible. They don’t put money first. They deliver the work for you and you can always negotiate and agree on a figure to pay them. When you point something out that you feel wasn’t well done, they respond quickly and work on it.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They’re not really well structured in terms of the information flow. Sometimes I’d ask a question, and it would take time for my contact to get back with an answer. If they could create a system where the other team members can interact directly with the client, that would be better.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

They’re good people to work with.
