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

Dave and his team came into Strivin to help us with our app - it was a Bubble app that another agency had built. It was buggy and didn't have the level of UX/UI we'd originally envisaged. Dave was amazing - he really took time to understand us, the business and what we were trying to solve. He then helped us fix immediate bugs whilst working on a longer term product roadmap and development plan.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Dave and his team helped us understand what we could achieve within the timeline and budgets that we had.They not only helped us bug fix but they helped us move the product forward. They were also cost conscious and understood the constraints of being an early bootstrapped founder.

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

They always delivered on time and set out clear project timelines and deliverable so we knew what to expect and when.

What was your primary form of communication with Lightning Products?

• In-Person Meeting
• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

So many things! 

1. Dave is an ex-founders so he gets the overall changes not just product challenges 
2. That everyone we spoke to understood our bigger vision and wanted to help us get there
3. No one tried to sell something we didn't need, they were always looking for no code or low code fixes we could get off the shelf to try things out before we built tech

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

I can't thing of anything.  We're looking forward to establishing a long-term collaboration with them.
