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

Key deliverable was functional website. Project included in-depth discovery, design and development, copywriting support and execution of launch. Additional deliverable includes editor's guide for post launch site management.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Site just launched so measurables for the site itself (visitors, TOP, conversions, etc.) is yet to be determined. Our stakeholders were pleased and we will be sending a survey to measure their level of satisfaction after about a month or so. Key measureable outcome will be maintaining and growing the form conversions based on historic data from old site.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Project management was extremely detailed and organized. Huemor obviously has a web project template buttoned down yet the team was also flexible to meet our specific needs. Yes, delivery was consistently on time. Team did a nice job balancing pushing back on our requests when appropriate (based on experience, best practice) yet listening to what we wanted to accomplish. There was no ego if we said we just didn't like something or it wasn't working for us - very solution oriented. 

What was your primary form of communication with HUEMOR?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

Project management was extremely efficient and organized, great use of PM tools. Tight internal collaboration. Made it easy for us to stay on track. They were a passionate and knowledgeable team of experts. There was a great balance between appropriate push back (based on industry experience and best practice) and being responsive to our needs. It was refreshing that there was no ego or attitude when we asked questions or wanted to take a different approach. 

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

Copywriting was just ok - I ended up doing quite a bit of editing and rewriting. It was helpful to get a baseline but the original copy did not reflect a solid understanding of our service and industry (which is technical) as well as lacking in "ooomf" or what we might call personality. There was some improvement during the process. Slight glitch on launch day but that all worked out! Seemed to be some confusion over the redirect of the secondary site (Premier) so that didn't happen at time of launch as expected but was worked out within the next week.

The only issue we encountered with Huemor was in transitioning from a previous project manager who we were having trouble with to our current PM, who is outstanding. The team coordinated a smooth transition and we had no issues after the change was put in place.

We had many status meetings and set deadlines for different criteria being met. This allowed us to have a level of control over the project that was so intimately involved with the creation that any divergence from our vision could be quickly identified and remedied.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

They responded to our needs very quickly and effectively. Their processes were a great fit in keeping us in the loop and allowing for adjustments and changes at every point. They delivered assignments on time, and if there was a delay, we were given proper notice and explanation.

What was your primary form of communication with HUEMOR?

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

The level of communication. If you are looking for a company that wants to make sure that they get it right, Humeor is your place. They have meetings upon meetings at every step making sure that you are happy and if not will tear it down and start over. 

It is very impressive their willingness to put the client not only first but right or wrong the client is always right. Whatever they wanted the site to be, they will make that site. If they miss, they will go back to the drawing board as many times as it takes to hit it right on the head.

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

I do not think that there are in their dealings with us. I will say that this is a hands on company and if you are wanting to sit back and let someone just take a guess at what you are looking for and hope they get it right this is not your company. 

You have to be involved and in fact they force that involvement through meetings, interaction etc. Thus, they really make you a partner in the process and if you are not invested in its success you will find what is in my opinion a massive value add to be an annoyance.

When we embarked on the journey to revamp our e-commerce platform, our ambition was not just to build another online store, but to create a digital space that truly resonated with our brand’s essence and provided an unparalleled shopping experience for our customers. This is where Huemor stepped in and transformed our vision into reality. 
From the initial consultation, it was evident that Huemor was not just another website development company. They approached our project with a unique blend of creativity, technical prowess, and strategic thinking. Their team listened intently to our goals - an elevated website that not only spoke to our brand’s identity but was also built for optimal e-commerce performance, ensuring a seamless browsing and purchasing experience for our customers.

Huemor excelled in delivering on all project management fronts. They demonstrated a firm grasp of collaboration, teamwork, problem-solving, and organization, all critical components to successfully managing the launch of a new website. 
They constantly went above and beyond to meet our website design and development needs. We've never worked with a partner like Huemor who was willing to be so responsive to our unique project needs, which involved more complexities than the standard website development and launch.

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

In an industry teeming with competition, finding a web development agency that not only meets but exceeds expectations is challenging. Huemor shines brightly in this context, setting a high standard for what engaging and effective web development and design should look like. At the heart of Huemor's success is an unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction. This isn't merely about delivering projects on time, but about creating experiences that resonate with clients and their audiences alike. 
It's apparent they place significant value on understanding their client's vision, goals, and the unique challenges they face. Huemor's project management skills are strong. What sets them apart is their transparency and communication. From the initial concept to the final delivery, clients are kept in the loop at every stage. Deadlines are treated with respect, and deliverables are consistently on point, both in terms of timeline and quality. This level of reliability and efficiency makes the entire development process seamless for clients. 
Perhaps the most distinctive strength of Huemor lies in their design and coding expertise. They have a keen eye for design that not only captures attention but also offers an intuitive and seamless user experience. Their websites are a blend of aesthetics and functionality, designed to engage and convert. Behind every captivating design is robust coding, ensuring that each website is fast, responsive, and secure.

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

Our website development was more complex than most website projects. While project management overall was strong, Huemor could have provided even more project management support in the earlier phases of project planning to ensure that all involved understand the depth of complexity that we were addressing (Moving forward with transitioning a legacy database for use in connection with launch of the new website).

Their thorough discovery phase, from mood boards to competitive analysis, solidified our confidence in their abilities.

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

Given that we had never done a website redesign, we were unsure of what to expect. We discovered that there were significantly more internal tasks involved than we anticipated. Setting this expectation early on would have been helpful, allowing us to allocate manpower more effectively.
