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

The scope of work included front-end development of our landing page initially. The landing page design was in XD format and we requested the design to be developed in react.native and node.js. After the landing page was completed, it was functional, improved from the original design, and responsive. The project then required the development of 7 more pages, some of which needed to speak to our APIs created from our side.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The measurable outcomes from the project were the functionality of the developed pages and their ability to be integrated into our live web application. Also, the optimizations provided by the team and how well the front-end development worked went above and beyond our original request.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Developer Bazaar Technologies?

We hired them to build a website for us from start to finish. After completion of the initial website build, there were some additional projects points we wanted completed that included integrating marketing tools, adding lead forms, some basic SEO functionality etc. which we then paid an additional amount for.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

They provided an end-end solution to help us achieve the website we wanted, that overall, we are very happy with. We had some misunderstandings around the scope and completion of the additional work we contracted them with, which has since been resolved.

How has the team composition changed?

The team is the same.

How did you come to work with Developer Bazaar Technologies?

We selected them via an online vendor after having short-listed and interviewed them from various other web design agencies.

How much have you invested with them?

USD 1200 for the initial build and USD 300 for the additional project work.

What is the status of this engagement?

There are a couple of points on the additional project work outstanding, but we have agreed this will be completed soon

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

How has your relationship with the vendor evolved?

As per the original review, we were very pleased with the outcome of the original website build. But as highlighted, dealing with a team in another country where there is a language gap, does at times present challenges, so it does require a lot of instruction and project management.

But they were always courteous, professional, and responsive. In terms of the additional engagement, we originally felt frustrated about various things, but the team have since reached out to us to address our concerns and to make sure everything will be completed as agreed.

Describe the impact this engagement has had on your business.

Having an online presence via a new, modern website is something we are ultimately very happy with.

How was project management handled?

The original website build was well handled, but there was a communication gap around the scope of the additional work, which has now been resolved.

Are there any areas of improvement?

Communication and agreeing parameters and work in full in advance. At least they have now reached out and made amends.

Director, Financial Services Firm

Financial Services

1-10 Employees

Cape Town, South Africa (28124)

Less than $10,000

Aug 2022 - Nov 2022

Project Summary:

A financial services firm partnered with Developer Bazaar Technologies to design a new website. 

Feedback Summary:

While the client is happy with the final result of the project, the journey to get there was difficult with a lot of repetitive back-and-forth. The vendor tried to upsell their services after the initial project and even tried asking for a bonus while unwilling to provide an invoice for services.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am a Director at a financial services firm.

OPPORTUNITY/CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Developer Bazaar Technologies, and what were your goals?

We hired developer bazaar to design a new website for us.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

We did online research and conducted a few interviews. They were very enthuiastic and their price was attractive.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

Design the website from start to finish. A brief was provided to them. We had a call to discuss and then ongoing comms was conducted via whatsapp.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

Approximately 3-4. The project manager and 2-3 developers.

RESULTS/FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

In the end very happy with the overall design of the website. But it did take a lot of back and forth and having to repeat points to be done and tasks to complete. Got there in the end but the journey did not always feel easy.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

Feedback was always provided and conducted via a whatsapp group. But as per above - there was a lot of repetition, having to repeat points and sometimes struggling to get the point across around what we were trying to achieve and what needs to be done. So it did at times feel like hard work because there was a communication gap.

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

In the end we got a website we were happy with - but it took a lot of work to get there. And promises made at outset around deliverables, like including basic SEO functionality for pages were never delivered on. To their credit - the changes we asked for on the way, they did make. But then you would also expect that if you're not entirely happy with an original design or functionality.

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

They tried very hard to upsell their services and once the basic website was done, some additional points we asked for were difficult to get completed (which should have been part of the original job). They then tried very hard to ask for a bonus (to the point of harrassment) and became unpleasant to deal with. Even though we ended up paying them an additional USD 300 above the initial agreed price to get some more basis things completed (which they never did).

Overall, the feeling is now one of disappointment, and unfortunately can't recommend them. Even asking for a final invoice to reflect full payment for services rendered is something they have been unwilling to provide.

RATINGS

Overall rating- 2

Won't work with them again so sadly won't recommend them

Quality- 4

Quality is overall good but minus for not doing everything agreed

Cost- 3

The cost was fair. Could have gotten cheaper. But then I question now if we had paid a bit more money elsewhere would then overall experience be bette

Schedule- 3

Scheduling was okay even though promises made around weekly updates etc. never delivered

Willing to refer- 3

The difficult communication, pumping us for more money at the end and not delivering on everything promised has left a poor taste

We had a kick off call that included the major functionalities that I needed for the MVP. With some discussion we added a few features into the plan. We setup discreet milestones along the way which was a good idea. This was a 10+ week project and when delays arose the team communicates well and fixes issues quickly.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

About 5 people worked on this project. All seemed to be engineers. I had the most contact with Ravi, Naved, and Vaibhav and they were all very professional.

The deliverables were within the range of expectations for the mvp. Good value for the end product.

They seem to have specialists for everything.

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

Communication was good but can always be better. Let clients know or remind them about upcoming holidays (Diwali) where staff will not be working.
