BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the owner of a web publishing company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Dynamic Dreamz?

I required programming support. We had calculators and different pages on the site that needed to be changed. We’re a small office, so we didn’t have a proper plan. Instead, we identified what we needed as the collaboration went along.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Dynamic Dreamz ran different scripts and added new functionalities. Their team implemented a blocker to prevent us from receiving spam emails. Also, there were different errors in the calculators. They troubleshot the product to understand why it wasn’t working and then built a solution. There were times when people registered but weren’t getting the registration email. So, Dynamic Dreamz went into our site to figure out why users weren’t getting the email and then created a plan to fix it.

What is the team composition?

I’ve worked with one person from Dynamic Dreamz.

How did you come to work with Dynamic Dreamz?

I found Dynamic Dreamz on Upwork. I posted a job there and looked for companies with good reviews and had clients who were happy. I saw their reviews and approached them. They understood what I wanted right away.

How much have you invested with them?

So far, we’ve spent about $2,000. We’ve worked on an hourly basis and Dynamic Dreamz has been honest about the time needed to complete tasks. They’ve given us good value for the money we’ve invested.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together at the beginning of 2018 and the engagement’s ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We’ve been happy with their work. Dynamic Dreamz has understood the code even though it wasn’t created by them and been able to tweak it for us.

How did Dynamic Dreamz perform from a project management standpoint?

Dynamic Dreamz has been organized so I’ve understood what’s happening with projects. Even though we’re in different countries, I’ve been able to understand them. There’s a different timeline because they’re not in the US. I’ll give them an assignment and the next day it’ll be complete, so it’s not an immediate solution.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I’ve worked with a lot of freelancers in the past and wasn’t happy. I’ve been happy with Dynamic Dreamz. For the quality of their work, the price was fair. In my experience, if the price is low then the quality is low. They combine a competitive price with quality work.

Are there any areas they could improve?

There weren’t any needs for improvement in the work that Dynamic Dreamz did.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I use a software called Jing to take and edit screenshots that I send to Dynamic Dreamz. This helps with communication. Instead of writing about the work that needs to be done, I send the screenshot with arrows.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

A small start up baby personalisation business consisting of clothing and accesories. I am the head designer and sole operator of the business

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Dynamic Dreamz?

Dynamic Dreamz helped me add the personalisation/customization section of my website. Kshama and her team also looked at my website that I had built so far and offered me feedback and what they thought it needed.

What were your goals for this project?

The make the check out process streamlined and easy to use for my customer.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

I was recommended by a friend who used Dynamic Dreamz for her business.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

I was able to build and customise the theme I wanted but was unable to do the personalisation section of the check out. Kshama was able to do it for me very efficiently and quickly.

What was the team composition?

Kshama was my point of contact and was excellent at communication with me.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

By outsourcing this section of the website it allowed me to focus on other parts of the business that I was confident in so I could move forward quicker.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

Project management was fantastic. Was super quick in responses and everything was done as I had asked.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Kshama. I only really dealt with her during this project. I was very impressed by the team and will definitely use them again.

Are there any areas for improvement?

No

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I’m the director of digital marketing at Nektar Juice Bar. We sell juices, smoothies, and health-oriented snacks at our 130 locations nationwide.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Dynamic Dreamz?

We engaged Dynamic Dreamz to create custom features on our Shopify website. They also built WordPress site templates and custom landing pages.

What were your goals for this project?

We wanted to maximize the user experience on our websites—especially given the limits of Shopify’s platform.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

I found Dynamic Dreamz on Upwork.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

Dynamic Dreamz built a custom online ordering website. The team helped maintain and improve our current website and fix issues with our WordPress site. They also drove integrations with third-party APIs and added custom features to all our sites. Lastly, the team created customized landing pages for our new product launches.

What was the team composition?

I had one primary point of contact.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Dynamic Dreamz outperformed our previous development partner. The team saved us time and money by meeting our requirements in the first iteration. They were reliable and paid attention to details.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

Our main point of contact was highly responsive and knowledgeable. The team gave accurate estimates on how long a task would take to complete.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Dynamic Dreamz provided a wide range of services without sacrificing quality, speed, or cost-effective prices.

Are there any areas for improvement?

No, I have zero complaints.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a freelancer based in the Netherlands. I specialize in business portals and websites, using either WordPress or custom CMS, sometimes with connections to customers’ ERPs.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Dynamic Dreamz?

I mainly went to them with WordPress assignments and needed them to build complete websites from scratch.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

They go through an initial process before making an offer to me, explaining who the customer is, what they do, and what exactly they need. Following that, they give me a deadline and cost. Once I agree, they start immediately and almost always deliver before the deadline.

Once the customer starts testing, normally issues we didn’t foresee on our first call arise. The Dynamic Dreamz team has no problems addressing those or changing something in the specifications. It’s quite a dynamic process once we reach the testing stage.

What is the team composition?

I’ve worked with 4–5 people from their team. My normal contact is with their project manager, and I’ve had multiple developers work for me across our projects that I’m not in direct contact with. All the communication is written, and takes place daily, especially during ongoing projects.

How did you come to work with Dynamic Dreamz?

They were well-known for the WordPress websites they delivered. I found them through Upwork, where they responded to my job. They had excellent ratings there, and their pricing was good, so it wasn’t a hard choice.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent between $7,000–$7,500.

What is the status of this engagement?

I started working with them in December 2017 and we still have a maintenance contract with them after the completion of the latest project. The first website we made took four months to complete, and the latest one took three weeks.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

I don’t have any hard metrics at hand; the only result I can point to is a happy customer. Dynamic Dreamz's work is high quality, especially with our ERP integration. I haven’t seen many issues after they’ve delivered something; everything works as expected.

How did Dynamic Dreamz perform from a project management standpoint?

Things are going very well in terms of project management. My main goal in this regard is that they deliver before or at the deadline. We had a deadline of March 11th for our latest project, but they delivered it a week early. I spoke to the customer, and it was nice to surprise them.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their speed of work is impressive as I’m not used to it. In my experience, everyone delivers late now, most of the time. Dynamic Dreamz can deliver very fast if there are clear specifications in place.

Are there any areas they could improve?

In the beginning, I thought that communication needed to be improved, but that was also my issue. I’ve learned that I have to actively communicate, and not just wait for them to reach out. We’re working on a new project at the moment, and everything is going much better, including on my side.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

The websites we build aren’t simple, but there isn’t too much to know in terms of business logic. I can’t judge Dynamic Dreamz on very complex work, but I’d recommend them for websites with integrations with other systems.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I’m the owner of a wine education company. We offer wine courses and tastings.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Dynamic Dreamz?

We engaged Dynamic Dreamz to develop two e-commerce websites using Shopify Pro.

What were your goals for this project?

We wanted to move one site from Squarespace to Shopify Pro. We also needed another site built from scratch on Shopify.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

Dynamic Dreamz received excellent reviews on Upwork, so we chose them.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

The team migrated our first, existing site from Squarespace to Shopify Pro. They then developed a new e-commerce site from the ground up using Shopify Pro.

What was the team composition?

Gaurav (Creative Director, Dynamic Dreamz) leads a team of Shopify specialists and developers.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The team delivered two high-quality sites. We’ve used them since for several large and ongoing Shopify projects.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

The project ran smoothly from start to finish. Dynamic Dreamz can take a list of clear requirements and execute it rapidly

What did you find most impressive about this company?

We had an excellent collaboration.

Are there any areas for improvement?

Come with a thorough blueprint of your goals, needs, and vision. Otherwise, you’ll find it hard to give precise directions and have to go through multiple redesigning and reworking phases.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I have owned and operated my company since 2005, designing and developing websites, graphics and logos as well as photo retouching.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Dynamic Dreamz?

I have worked with Dynamic Dreamz since 2009 for website development (specifically for custom CMS, shopping carts, blogs, WordPress integration and other back-end features).

What were your goals for this project?

The goals for this specific project were to customize a WordPress theme, add an online sermon feature, integrate online payments and create an interactive events calendar.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

I have worked with Dynamic Dreamz for over ten years now, after working with multiple other contractors who had disappointed me with shoddy work, were incapable of communicating clearly or even left with my deposit and never returned.

Dynamic Dreamz has proven time and time again to have a solid work ethic, a competent, driven team and is always willing to work within a specified budget, producing a high quality final product with guaranteed tech support if needed, after delivery.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

They customized a WordPress theme to meet the specific needs of my client. They also entered in all content and delivered the project quickly.

What was the team composition?

Dynamic Dreamz has a good team doing the work behind the scenes, however, I work primarily with 1 individual whom I trust and who understands my needs as a client. I am very pleased with the relationship we have established and the layer of trust that has been built upon over the years.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

My client is exceedingly pleased with their new website! They love the ease of use for in-house updates, the improved sermon feature and the sleek, new look and feel. The project was delivered on time, despite the client's delay in communication and no detail was overlooked.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

We communicated seamlessly via email, which is my preferred method of contact. Emails were responded to quickly and items tended to in a timely manner.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Their eagerness to stand behind their product over time sets them apart. I know that if a client reaches out to me with a tech issue on their site (long after project completion), that Dynamic Dreamz will work quickly to resolve the issue in completion.

Because of their outstanding work ethic, I am able to take on projects that I never could have completed on my own and do so without any reservations as to the final outcome, as they have proven time and time again to exceed expectations and stand by their word.

Are there any areas for improvement?

After ten + years working with Dynamic Dreamz, I can honestly say that I see no areas in need of improvement. They are more than capable of every task I have presented to them, they are eager to begin right away and deliver on time, they are willing to change the project scope while in progress.

Their final product is exactly what I was hoping for and they provide tech support long after project delivery. All of this for a fraction of the price I have received from other contractors. I could not be more pleased with the work I have received from Dynamic Dreamz.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm the owner of a marketing company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Dynamic Dreamz?

I reached out to Dynamic Dreamz for web design services, along with some other freelance technical work. 

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Dynamic Dreamz designed two websites on WordPress, including the backend, as well as another website for my wife. After providing their team with examples of sites I liked, they went to work and provided iterations until the sites were approved on our end. They continue to help with different types of technical requests and smaller projects as needed. 

What is the team composition? 

I work directly with Gaurav (Creative Director, Dynamic Dreamz), who manages the whole team. We touch base 1–3 times a week, depending on the project. 

How did you come to work with Dynamic Dreamz?

They were a top-rated design firm on Upwork, so I contacted them from there.

How much have you invested with them?

We've probably invested around $5,000 in total over the last couple of years, which is a fraction of what we would've paid for the same quality of work from a vendor in the U.S.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them in May 2017, and the relationship is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Dynamic Dreamz built a robust backend that allows for a VIP login area on our sites for subscribers. Thanks to the practical, modern design of the sites they built, we've experienced an increase in subscribers and paying customers. 

How did Dynamic Dreamz perform from a project management standpoint?

We click with their team very well. They always turn around requests for iterations very quickly and bring a lot of creativity to the table. It's been a great relationship overall. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

I'm most impressed by the quality of work they're able to deliver in a short period of time. I can call up Gaurav and talk through a list of changes I want to a site and, in just a couple days, he'll have everything done with 90% accuracy. Other requests I've made were completed in just a few days when I expected them to take a couple of weeks. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

Overall, their work is very good but there's some room for improvement in the creativity of their designs.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

No, but I would absolutely recommend working with them.They provide high-quality work at a very affordable rate. 

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

We sell photography and lighting equipment online and in our showroom. As director, my main role is brand strategy. I work with two partners on marketing strategy. Our products are designed for entry to mid-level photographers who want to take professional photos for the web or social media.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Dynamic Dreamz?

We've used them for coding and web development for over two years. Our company uses the Shopify platform for our online store. I depend on them to develop code from Photoshop files.

What were your goals for this project?

Our goal was to improve the speed of our website and redesign our Shopify website to exactly match the Photoshop design.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

They had excellent reviews on Upwork, and Shopify was their specialty.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

They developed a whole website from a Photoshop design. They delivered bug-free code perfectly and quickly. They made my website mobile responsive. I requested some specific functions, which they completed with ease. For instance, we wanted users to easily navigate to YouTube videos and media information on our mobile and desktop websites. They also identified apps that slowed the website down. We're still working with their team.

What was the team composition?

I usually deal with two people, which was perfect. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Our sales doubled after launching the new website, and we've continued to use them for other small projects because they're so reliable. We also refer them to our business friends because they're the best. We don't have any issues with bugs, and they never hesitate to help. 

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

We usually discuss the project on Skype or through email. Their work is always clear, detailed, and methodical. Most of our projects were easy, fast, and efficient. Their communication is clear, they complete jobs in no time, and they provide excellent communication and fair pricing. 

What did you find most impressive about this company?

I have over 10 years of experience managing coders, but Dynamic Dreamz was the best because of their attention to detail. I wouldn't hire anyone else. They genuinely care about their clients, they are affordable and polite, and they're industry experts. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to any business that uses Shopify. 

Are there any areas for improvement?

I can't think of any.
