I am the director of a car service center in Lviv. Our areas of expertise are dry cleaning of cars, changing tires, and car wash.

For what projects/services did your company hire .doCode, and what were your goals?

Our goal was to become reachable for more people. What we wanted was to have all the actual information about prices and services online. We had a website before but it was outdated and we weren’t able to change content ourselves.

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

We were looking for a development company in Lviv. That’s why we checked lists of local companies, compared reviews and chose a few ones for further negotiations. This company met our expectations. We liked the communication style, the reviews were fine, the price was reasonable. Based on these factors we decided to continue working with Docode.

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

The project was to create a corporate website where our clients can read information about our benefits, services, ways of work, available hours, prices, reviews, and more. It was important for us that this website is available and comfortable to use on both desktop and mobile devices.

At the first meeting, we described our vision of the website and got feedback from the company about the way it should be implemented. Then the agency created a design, created a website from scratch and integrated it into WordPress. The process was followed by regular meetings. Technologies: HTML/CSS, WordPress.

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

There were a designer, HTML/CSS developer, WordPress developer, Project manager and tester. We were communicating with the Project Manager and designer.

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

At the first meetings, we discussed the workflow. After that, we followed the plan. The development team were requesting our feedback during the development after particular stages were completed. If any issues appeared we were updated at once. Apart from meetings, there was another way of communication. It was Slack. We could send our questions there and get really quick answers.

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

The most valuable thing was that the company not only paid attention to our requests but proposed their solutions. As I’ve mentioned we hadn't had such an experience before. That’s why some things were unknown to us, we didn’t know what solution would be better.

The company advised us and helped with some decisions. Besides, we highly appreciated the fact that we can edit the website without any help. After the website was completed, they spend time explaining everything, so it is really easy even for an inexperienced person to make changes by using the admin.

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

We are completely satisfied.
