For what projects/services did your company hire iDeveloper Technologies?

Our website was created last year but since we are a start-up business, we felt like it wasn't still up to our desired standard and didn't bring to light our products and services better. We hired a member of this team by the name of Gitonga to review and note the areas he felt needed improvement. We also provided him with a vision of how we needed our website to look like.

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

He was referred to us by a trusted friend and after reviewing some of his work and an interview we felt we could trust him to bring our vision to light.

Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.

After a series of highlighting the issues we had with our old website, Gitonga came to us with a proposal for the new website that's when we realized just improving on the old website wasn't going to cut it. We decided to start from scratch and simply import some of the information from the old website that we felt we needed to retain.

Overall, it was a good experience seeing our vision come to life from the home page to the contact page. He added multiple windows to the new website something we did not have. We even got a web icon as a bonus which we are very happy about. We even got a WhatsApp contact button to help us be prompt in delivering services to our clients

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

We only worked with one person Kevin Gitonga and he did the job well.

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The overall look is much more user-friendly. The site traffic has increased immensely and now we can communicate much easier with our clients. The documentation used to develop the site was very thorough.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

We were kept in the loop every step of the way. The communication was smooth and easy since we used Whatsapp mainly.

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

We really appreciated that they understood our vision and considered our needs. We were really concerned about the work not getting done to our perfection. He was patient with us and always seemed our approval after completing a task. He gave us input and ideas he felt could work for us.

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

Focus more on time but we ended up with a beautiful user-friendly website so can't really complain much.
