We wanted to launch a website for the agency and we had a low budget for it.

SOLUTION

The guys were recommended by another agency owner and because it was a reference we decided to give them the project.

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

A project manager and another member of their team who will be doing the tutorials or answering our questions with explanatory videos

The website was as expected. The theme we choose was adapted and the delivery was as they explained. We had to upload the content and the images following all their instructions.

I would love not to have done any image or content upload, or think about any design of the website as when changing the content there were some extra things that I had sorted. I would have paid the guys for doing that.

Very organised, we communicated by email and they would always include educational content describing what they had done and how we could carry on maintaining the website afterwards. Always received answers within 24hrs.

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

They were so patient, professional and understanding. They are committed to making customers happy, even though the service is free on our end.

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

Perhaps giving an estimate of the price of website building so that people do not get overly excited by the "free" dimension of the building process and realise what other costs are linked to making a website (hosting, domain, theme, maybe further maintenance etc.). But this is minor because of course clients should also do this research by themselves.
