LowCode Agency

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm a specialized Land Investor who buys and sells vacant land across the U.S.

For what projects/services did your company hire LowCode Agency, and what were your goals?

Because there are few others that invest in land like I do, communication, coordination and information is difficult to spread among each other. I needed a private community of fellow land investors to buy, sell, make deals and share knowledge.

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

I was informed that what I was needing was actually a combination of several elements that have already been built. LOWCODE was able to recognize what individual technologies could be leveraged to create our application at a fraction of the cost compared to building from scratch.

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

We created a membership club that relied on maps and gps coordinates to visually illustrate where properties where available. We allow each member to upload their properties and set their price so others in the community can see and contact them to make the sale.

A library of information is available to help everyone along their journey. The resources are added by members and everyone is allowed to comment and add context to how each resource has benefited them.

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

There was a core of 3 people. 1 Project Manager, 1 Engineer and 1 User Experience.

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

We are days away from launching and I couldn't be more excited and happy with the result. I continue to use the term Beautiful to describe it. Maybe because I'm partial to it. This has been a vision brewing in my head for over 2 years and it is finally hear!

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

The project was very well organized, and yet flexible at the same time. The communication was amazing. I always knew what was going on and never felt like the team was off track or wasting time on items that weren't directly related to our goal.

And they understood the objective very well and offered wonderful suggestions along the way to make it even better.

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

Structure. My project was broken down and into consumable benchmarks that encouraged me and the team along the way. We never felt off track or lost.

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

The only thing that could be improved would be a slight bit of time in the process to talk about the future. Meaning, I have a great product and I love it, but I'm nervous about upkeep, maintenance, tech changes and growth.

They may not be worried at all given it's size and niche market it relates to, but as an owner I'm quickly realizing that this baby needs to eat.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm a strategy consultant for Guidely.com, a marketplace for people to get connected with life coaches, mentors, and healers.

For what projects/services did your company hire LowCode Agency, and what were your goals?

We needed to launch a new, reimagined customer onboarding for our platform and hired LowCode to build an MVP for us to run experiments with before we invest in building out a more complex solution.

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

LowCode was recommended by Glide as a trusted development partner when we were looking for custom developers to build this solution. LowCode's large portfolio of Webflow and Glide projects, as well as testimonials, gave us the confidence to choose them.

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

We had a great kick-off meeting where the team dove deep into our business, current tech, and goals; then recommended we build our new onboarding with Webflow as it was the highest quality solution for our budget. The team then built out the project in their collaboration tool where we had visibility into progress the entire time. Once the product was ready, they were highly responsive in fixing any QA issues, and provided ongoing support as we launch the product in market.

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

There was the CEO, a dedicated project manager, a designer, and a full-stack developer who all worked on this project. The CEO always kept a tab on deliverables and was responsive to anything we sent his way.

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

The new onboarding has been working well, and we are still working with the team to make continuous improvements as we get data from our experiments and user interviews. We are excited to see this grow!

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

The team was very responsive and quick to turn around any request we made through their dedicated collaboration portal. They delivered the product on schedule.

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

They were very organized and able to build a great solution to our rather complex business challenge.

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

When we first launched, there were some minor bugs that we found. However, once we told them about the bugs they were quick to fix them!

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the vice president of an insurance brokerage. We help businesses obtain insurance benefits for their employees.

For what projects/services did your company hire LowCode Agency, and what were your goals?

Our goal was to create a portal to allow insurance brokers to streamline the insurance quoting process. LowCode has gone above and beyond in turning our idea into reality.

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

We searched extensively both online and in person for a dev team to build our platform. Ultimately, the LowCode team's professionalism, talent, time to build the platform and cost were the determining factors.

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

We had multiple meetings with the owner (Jesus) and a project manager (Cecilia) to discuss the framework of our idea. They took the time to fully understand what we were looking to build and helped put what was in our mind onto a "blueprint." Then, one of their developers (Thinh) built our idea on Glide Pages. They've been professional throughout the development and delivered great results in an incredible turnaround time.

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

Three people worked with us. A project manager, the owner and a developer.

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

The design of the app is beautiful and extremely easy to use.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

We had daily/weekly communication with LowCode throughout development. The team's timeliness is amazing and they have great communication tools through Plutio and Zoom.

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

I am amazed at LowCode's speed of delivery, communication, talent, creativity and care into our own dream. I could not speak more highly of Jesus, Cecilia and Thinh. Jesus, the founder, made it feel like he was part of my team and vision, which really has helped get our app to where it is today. Cecilia's communication, organization and thoughtfulness is unmatched. Thinh is an unbelievably talented developer who is creative, cares about his work and codes things in out of this world speed. This is a 5 star team and I look forward to working with them more in the future.

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

None.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the founder and CEO of a SaaS company working in the United Kingdom and United States.

For what projects/services did your company hire LowCode Agency, and what were your goals?

We hired LowCode to support MVP prototype version 1 development. The MVP is a platform application that unifies talent data from multiple sources helping people visualize skills and other competencies during their career journey.

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

We selected this vendor based on their participation in the Howard University "Pitch HU" start-up incubator program. Their presentation and credibility enabled our decision-making.

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

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

Two people from the vendor's team worked with me as well as the CEO on some occasions. A project manager and developer worked with me throughout the duration of the project.

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

All deliverables were met. The main deliverable was a live version one platform that could be deployed for user feedback, validated learning, and further development. The LowCode team was very professional, communicative, and technically proficient.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

The project management style was highly effective and included various online resources. We primarily used the LowCode portal to coordinate MVP wire diagramming, feature development, testing, and handover. All activities were conducted in a timely manner with no issues.

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

I found both Ceci and Alex's task management and technical expertise very impressive. I was impressed with how they could translate complex concepts into tasks, actions, and activities supporting platform development. The transition from wire diagramming to development and handover was seamless indicating a high level of professionalism and expertise on their side.

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

I don't have any major areas for improvement based on the agreed-upon scope and nature of the project. Many concepts were not complete resulting in the need for refinement on my side. I would have liked a better analysis of alternatives regarding dashboard plug-ins or integration. With that said, it did not hinder the project and can be addressed in version two.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I run an organization called Wou; we provide coaching and empowerment tools for those struggling with self-confidence or lacking purpose and direction in their lives.

I do corporate workshops where I guide people through the psychology of affirmations and how our brains manage that information in connection with self-worth, confidence and how we present ourselves.

What challenge were you trying to address with LowCode Agency?

We needed LowCode Agency to build a first-round prototype of our product. I wanted to develop a digital card box app that holds on to words of affirmation over time. I wanted the app to copy text from greetings cards, emails, or text messages that contain words of encouragement from others.

According to market research, 90% of women have a box of cards tucked away in their closets, so we wanted to create a digital solution on hand that constantly sends those positive affirmations.

What was the scope of their involvement?

They created the application for us, and it’s compatible with iOS and Android. The application runs like a web browser on the backend. It functions through a web browser, and is supported by Glide. 

What is the team composition?

I work with three people: Jesus (Founder), Cecilia (Project Manager), and Mauricio (Backend Developer).

How did you come to work with LowCode Agency?

They were referred to us by a local organization. 

How much have you invested with them?

We invested $5,200 in the partnership.

What is the status of this engagement?

We began working on the project in May 2022 and did the handoff in July 2022.

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

They were highly responsive and efficient in their working pace. 

Any time I started to wonder if we were lacking progress or question the overall quality of the product, Jesus would jump right in, and I could tell he was handling it. I felt taken care of, and there was a sense of being watched over. I knew at the end of the day, they would keep things on track. 

We were a bit frustrated during the testing phase because it felt like every time we fixed one issue, another would arise. They compensated us for the processing glitches by connecting my email automation system, which was wonderful. 

How did LowCode perform from a project management standpoint?

They performed wonderfully from a project management standpoint. Cecilia was very communicative, which was fantastic. The budget stayed on track as well. We used a project management tool to communicate.

One pricing change surprised me, but it resulted from an internal pricing adjustment on their end, which didn’t affect my overall budget. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

I was impressed with their ability to capture our vision from the start. They worked hard to find solutions and put themselves in my shoes. I felt like they understood what I wanted, which was fantastic. 

They worked at a great pace and kept things moving. Their overall communication and response time was impressive. They went at a pace that worked for me depending on if we were on vacation or kids were out of school. I knew they would be ready to go as soon as I got back to them.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I think they could improve their attention to detail with regard to backend development. Sometimes, we would make an edit, and another glitch would pop up due to the developer forgetting to save the last change. It would be great if they could trace how an edit will impact other app components and do a thorough QC of the modification to fix potential glitches. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

My advice would be to send the final product to others, so you can have as many eyes as possible to catch glitches before the handoff.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the owner of a digital agency

For what projects/services did your company hire LowCode Agency, and what were your goals?

We needed a mobile app developed for a client who operates an experience-based company, so that they can better engage with their guests.

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

I connected with a number of app developers and LowCode's professionalism, experience, and pricing were the main deciding factors.

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

The main deliverable stages of wireframes delivery and revisions, followed by app delivery and revisions were clearly laid out and delivered on time, with every step of the process clearly communicated.

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

I communicated directly with a Project Manager throughout the project, as well as communicating directly with LowCode's owner at key points in the process.

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

Deliverables were hit on time and on budget!

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

Their Project Manager was extremely accessible and easy to communicate with. I was able to book zoom meetings through her calendar easily when needed, and we communicated via email and their project management software Plutio.

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

They are extremely on the ball when it comes to their communication and processes. It's clear that they have a strong operational foundation that allows them to stay on top of things.

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

There's nothing they could have done differently or improved.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the CEO and founder of gigLAW.

For what projects/services did your company hire LowCode Agency, and what were your goals?

My goals were to automate the internal and external processes we complete through a consolidated app. My goals were to make the processes more efficient, allowing gigLAW to expand its clientele and capacity to take on more work.

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

I selected this vendor after reading multiple reviews/recommendations from their clients. The deciding factor was after we had the introductory call how they were able to accurately understand exactly what I wanted. The team was extremely responsive and always available to answer questions thoroughly. They ensured I was comfortable and happy throughout the entire process.

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

First, we had a kick-off call where I explained to them an overview of what I wanted the app to do and its core functions. I then sent over a detailed list of each component/workflow/every part of the process I needed to be included in the app. The team then put together a proposal and once approved, go to work.

They showed me the wireframe, asked for my feedback, implemented the feedback, then created v1 for my review. Once I reviewed, I submitted any changes I needed and they quickly made all of the necessary fixes. The final step was to go through the app and ensure I understood how it works on the backend, etc.

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

3-4 team members, including the founder and other Glide experts.

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

I am about to launch, though I have received extremely positive feedback from current clients about the

1. improved efficiency,
2. ease of use, and
3. excitement regarding the intuitive processes.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

Plutio, Email, Zoom. Plutio was the best part of the project - as it kept things extremely organized and allowed me to input new tasks I wanted to see implemented in the app.

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

They gave us a professional app that is easy to update and their level of communication is the best I have seen when working with an outside provider.

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

There were very minor bugs in the first deliverable, but they fixed these as soon as I pointed them out and were extremely professional in dealing with any issue that arose. Nothing needed to be done differently as it was all exceptional and the team was an absolute pleasure to work with. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the founder of a mobile app startup company.

What challenge were you trying to address with LowCode Agency?

I was trying to bring an MVP to life, so I built an early version of it. Then, I went to LowCode and asked them to rebuild it and make it look better to have a better appeal to the end users. 

What was the scope of their involvement?

I used Glide to prototype the app before building it for iOS and Android. From there, LowCode’s task is to make it better from a technology perspective. For context, the platform was for creators and their followers. It aimed to create a marketplace for these audiences, and it was similar to Patreon or OnlyFans.  

Meanwhile, we chunked the project down into pieces. LowCode agreed to do this because of my poor experience with another mobile app developer; I was nervous about jumping the gun and spending a lot of money. They understood my concerns and broke down the development process into phases. It was their recommended approach, and I agreed to it. 

At present, the first part of the project is completed, and the app is already in the marketplace. We’ll soon be developing it further, and when we continue the engagement, we’ll talk about the content marketing aspects of the business. 

For core features and functionality, creators can upload longer-form content on the platform, such as images and videos. Other users can then read the story behind the images by following the content creators. Moreover, they can pay the creators for the content if they want, though free content is available. Overall, the platform enables people to produce interesting content that they can sell in a way that hasn’t been done before. 

What is the team composition?

I worked with their CEO and founder, along with Cecilia (Project Manager) and a designer. A copywriter worked behind the scenes, too. 

How did you come to work with LowCode Agency? 

I chose LowCode because they were a referral partner of Glide, which I’d used for a while. They were active in the Glide community, so when I looked at the platform’s certified partners, LowCode stood out. I looked at what they’d done before, and everything looked good. As a result, I hired them. 

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent about $5,000

What is the status of this engagement?

The project started in October 2021, and the engagement is ongoing. They delivered the first version of the app in November 2021, though. 

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

In terms of success metrics, I check the number of revisions that we’ve had to do. There have been only small revisions, and every time they need to revise something, they listen carefully. They’re frank and excellent; in fact, they’ve adjusted the first cut of our wireframes in just 45 minutes. After that, I haven’t had to make any changes. 

Moreover, they’ve kept to our timeframe. The team works fast, and they fix even the smallest mistakes during the development process, such as spelling errors. Overall, their work has been phenomenal and exceeds my expectations, so I’m extremely happy with their performance. 

How did LowCode Agency perform from a project management standpoint?

LowCode’s project management is great. They’ve asked me to use Plutio to report any changes, questions, or feedback I have — I’ve had no issues using that platform. In fact, it made our communication easy. On top of that, their project manager understands my needs. The team also works on the project from a consumer and end user perspective. As a result, the process is highly well-rounded and thoughtful; they often come up with ingenious and clean solutions. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

The quality of LowCode’s work and their fullness are impressive. Apart from that, their services are fairly priced. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

I only wish they work more with our technologies. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Give LowCode good references and examples from sites that tell them the story of what you’re trying to achieve. Don’t try to communicate with them via emails because they’ll also have to transfer that to their project management system, and that can slow everything down. Moreover, when they start delivering items, make sure that you’re available because they deliver quickly. Overall, they’re a nice team to work with and incredibly professional. 

Please describe your company and your position there.

I founded Conscience Cart to make it easier for ethical and green shoppers to find businesses that share their values.

After creating manual reports for shoppers with store recommendations based on their values, I hired LowCode Agency to create an app that would automate the recommendations for users.

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

I wanted to create an app to get additional user feedback. So, I did not want to spend too much money or take too long. After looking around I found LowCode.

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

The LowCode team was very easy to work with and are experts in getting the most out of Glide. They completed the project on-time and on budget. And after I received some customer feedback, they were able to help me adjust the app to be even better. I am extremely happy with LowCode Agency and have already recommended them.

There were 2 or 3 people from LowCode involved.

2 people were on the core team including a project manager and software developer.

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

The project was on-time and substantially reduced the amount of time it takes us to get feedback from customers. Not only that, our customers prefer the experience from the previous process that required spreadsheets, emails, and other manual steps.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

They were highly communicative and on-time with all deliverables.

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

Their team was friendly and did a good job keeping the project focused, on time, and budget.

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

No changes, continue to work with them on an ongoing basis and will rely on them for projects in the future.
