BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm the marketing manager at Dmytruk; we produce meat products.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with dops.digital?

We decided we needed a new website to showcase our products. We wanted a really good one that was special and unlike other websites. We previously had another website, but that one had a different brand.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

dops.digital has created our website from scratch; it showcases our two best products. They’ve handled everything themselves. The team has designed the UX/UI, done 3D modeling and motion work, and created animated images; the pictures on the site move. The website has two languages: Ukrainian and English.

The website is done, but dops.digital is still providing site maintenance support. They’ve also made changes when we’ve needed them. When our products changed from 100 grams to 80 grams, and our small products changed from 50 grams to 40 grams, they made all the changes on the site.

What is the team composition?

dops.digital has around six people on their team, including a web designer, project manager, 3D motion designer, and web developer. We mostly communicate with Andrew D. (CEO & Co-founder) and another teammate.

We’re so happy with dops.digital’s work. We love our new website. It’s very special; no one else has the same one. The colors are so bright and nice. dops.digital has designer taste. We will definitely work with them again for a website for our other brand.

How did the company perform from a project management standpoint?

dops.digital’s team is so good; their communication is so nice. From the first meeting, we knew this was the team for us. Everything was exactly aligned with the timeframe and budget.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, they’re great.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the founder of Sweet Pain, a female sunglasses brand.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with dops.digital?

I founded the company in 2021 and needed assistance to develop our website.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

dops.digital has completely designed and developed our company’s website. dops.digital is familiar with all kinds of design tools. We initially had a discussion with dops.digital about a couple of solutions for the website, and they suggested using more animation.

From there, dops.digital has designed the complete site’s UI using Adobe XD. dops.digital has created the site’s wireframe and shared it with us for approval. After we approved the wireframe, dops.digital has developed the site. 

Our site is an e-commerce site where users can purchase our products. dops.digital has developed the site from scratch using Strapi and Shopify. dops.digital has developed the checkout page using Spotify since we asked them to be able to manage our inventory. For the rest of the site, dops.digital has used Strapi. 

We also asked dops.digital for a custom design since we had noticed most of the e-commerce sites built on Shopify looked similar, and we didn’t want to use a pre-made template. I work with another agency that produces our photos and videos and provide dops.digital with these materials. 

What is the team composition?

I work with 3–4 teammates from dops.digital. Initially, I was only in contact with dops.digital’s CEO and he then contacted me with a project manager.

How did you come to work with dops.digital?

I found dops.digital on Clutch. I’m based in the US and contacted several national and international companies. The agencies from the US that I talked to were expensive. I then looked at dops.digital’s portfolio and liked it. dops.digital’s prices were competitive, and most of the other agencies I talked with only used Shopify for development. 

How much have you invested with them?

I’ve spent around $20,000 with dops.digital so far.

What is the status of this engagement?

Our project with dops.digital began in February 2022 and is an ongoing partnership.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Although we haven’t fully launched the site developed by dops.digital, a different marketing agency has conducted Google Analytics reports and said dops.digital has created an amazing site. Our site’s performance has been excellent so far. 

How did dops.digital perform from a project management standpoint?

dops.digital takes the time to work with me and cares about my project. I’ve requested many changes to the site, and dops.digital always helps. We’ve had delays on some deliverables due to the Russian Invasion of Ukraine, which is totally understandable. I really appreciate that dops.digital continues to work on my project during the Russian Invasion. 

I really like working with dops.digital because it’s easy to speak with any teammate. We mainly use Slack and email to communicate. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

I’m most impressed with dops.digital’s work quality and competitive prices, which are lower than most companies from the US. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

The only thing dops.digital could improve on is having English-speaking copywriters. I had to contact a freelance copywriter to create the site’s written content. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Customers usually try to find a service provider located within the same country, although it can be expensive. I recommend reaching out to an agency from another country because you can get good work quality, I think getting in touch with dops.digital is well worth it.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm an executive at a software development company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenges were you trying to address with dops.digital?

We needed help updating and redesigning our website.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Dops-digital provides web design services. We’ve started by providing them with our old website and brand guidelines as a starting point to begin creating the new platform, along with branding materials.

What was the team composition? 

We’ve worked with 4–5 members of their team and people from their production staff.

How did you come to work with dops.digital?

A personal contact referred them to me.

How much have you invested in them?

So far, we’ve spent $10,000–$25,000 with them.

What is the status of this engagement? 

We started working together in October 2021, and the engagement is still ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We like dops.digital’s approach, and we’ve definitely noticed an improvement in terms of the functionality of the website. Moreover, one of our main goals is to optimize our website for marketing, and we’re achieving that goal.

How did dops.digital perform from a project management standpoint?

Communication is good, and we enjoy their cooperation. Regarding tools, we use email and Messenger, but we’ve also had in-person meetings in our office.

Are there any areas they could improve?

There isn't anything they can improve on.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm a project manager at an IT company

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

First I'll need to give some background information. We've done an IT consult for our client. Also, the client wanted to have some rebranding and restructuring of their company. One of the big findings in the consult was that their IT system and webshop was much outdated.

Therefore we have been building a new backend and dashboard to give the client additional insights. Since our experience with frontend is limited, we've been looking for a partner to work with. Here dops.digital came in. They have been creating the design and frontend.

SOLUTION

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

Since all of the abovementioned was on a really tight budget we needed to find people outside of The Netherlands. We selected 3 different companies to talk with and found that dops.digital was the most realistic in their intake. Besides this their portfolio looks great and we got to trust them in a short amount of time.

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

We had a kick-off meeting to discuss the goals. Since the start of the project was quite hectic (which mostly lies with the clients responsibility), much has been going on at the same time. There has been an extensive list of functionalities which could be implemented without having a design ready. At the same time dops.digital has been working on the wireframes and after that the design.

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

In total (so not at the same time) I've been working with 7 people (excluding some nice talks with the CEO) Projectmanager x1 Designer x2 UI implementer x2 Feature developer x2

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Not yet. The website will be released soon.

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

Since we were working with two teams we did our standup. Most of the time their developers and project manager were there. We needed to get a little adjusted to each other, as is always the case, but after it was all OK. They are very kind and patient people who are willing to do their outermost best and finish before the deadline.

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

They really know what they are talking about. They know who to put on what part of the project, and those chosen developers do indeed have a lot of knowledge on their specific subjects.

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

Since we have 2 teams working on the same project, we would've liked to have a bit closer contact amongst the developers. No big deal, but not all developers were attending the standup, or just once or twice in a sprint.

Additionally, they proposed new brand guidelines and provided us with new fonts, logos, and color schemes. They also designed social media headers and presentation templates based on the new brand guidelines. 

We’ve decided to maintain the relationship with dops.digital to ensure we’re using our brand guidelines as intended in the future.  

What is the status of this engagement?

We’ve worked with dops.digital since April 2022, and the partnership is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We don’t have metrics to share, but our team has been happy with the overall branding. When we reached out to dops.digital, we didn’t have a clear vision for the end result. Since then, they’ve diligently worked alongside us to develop a compelling brand image that encompasses what we asked for and more. They’ve paved the way for us to communicate with our target audience effectively. 

How did dops.digital perform from a project management standpoint?

The dops.digital teal has worked quickly to deliver results. They’ve been very responsive via email, which we’ve used as our primary project management tool. We’ve also set up a chat between our teams for any ad-hoc questions.

The dops.digital team has built our website in Shopify, customizing our initial template to attract our target audience and accommodate our requested features and functionality. They’ve also migrated content from our old website to the new one and reflected the new site design on our other communication channels to ensure branding alignment across our platforms. 

What is the team composition?

We’ve worked with Ewelina (Chief of Staff), and four other team members from dops.digital.

We began working with dops.digital in March 2022, and the collaboration is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We’re still working with dops.digital on final implementations, but they’ve significantly improved the website’s UI/UX and functionality so far. The dops.digital team has shared essential creative solutions and taught us a great deal about website development. 

Before working with dops.digital, our website was clunky and difficult to navigate. Now, the website looks more modern and user-friendly, and we haven’t experienced any bugs. They’ve really helped us take a step forward within our industry.

How did dops.digital perform from a project management standpoint?

We’ve been very happy with the collaboration with dops.digital. They’ve been responsive, communicative project managers who’ve listened to our ideas and made helpful suggestions.
