Please describe your company and your position there.
I am the head of the .net department from our Romania office. The company I work for is a multi-national organization with offices across Europe, Asia and North America. The company headquarters is based in Zurich, Switzerland.
For what projects/services did your company hire MoldoWEB, and what were your goals?
Our end customer wanted to migrate their Flash based client web application to Angular. To this extent, we put together a team of developers from our side and hired MoldoWEB to provide us with the following services:
- Angular mentoring
- Angular reviews
- Software development
How did you select MoldoWEB and what were the deciding factors?
We searched the market for highly experienced Angular developers that could join our team with short notice provide value really fast. During the interview, MoldoWEB stood out from the rest of the candidates with the experience gathered from the previous projects.
Another thing which we really appreciated was the mindset and the attitude MoldoWEB had during our discussions. We have a company culture which is heavily geared towards people, professional growth, open communication, taking ownership and constant feedback.
After the interview we felt like MoldoWEB would be a great match to our organization from both technical and cultural aspects, and we were right.
Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.
Our team was in charge of rewriting the whole client application which was developed in Flash. Our PO which was based on the customer side was in charge of defining the backlog and all the requirements.
With regards to the UI/UX, the old Flash application served as the model as the migrated app had the look exactly the same as the old app. Each user story contained links to the page/s of the flash app for design references. For the migration we used Angular, started with Angular 2 and ended up with Angular 5.
We also used Kendo for Angular for various controls we had to create in the application. We worked according to the Scrum methodology, in 2 week Sprints. Every 2 weeks we had delivered a new version that could be used internally by the customer.
How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
We had only one person from MoldoWEB working with us, the founder of the company. He had the role of Lead Angular developer in the team.
Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?
The end customer was very happy with the new version of the web application. The delivered solution had the exact UI/UX as the old client, so the transition did not have any major impact on the users.
The only impact which was felt was the performance of the app as well as the smoothness of the transitions between different application states and the overall app stability.
Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timelines.
We worked according to the Scrum methodology. Therefore we had the following meetings:
- daily stand-ups
- backlog refinement once every two weeks
- sprint review once every two weeks
- sprint retrospective once every two weeks
- sprint planning once every two weeks
The Scrum master was based in Romania with the team. The PO was based on the customer side in Germany. The Account Manager was based in Switzerland. Timelines and major deliverables were defined by the PO together with the customer based on estimations and feedback from the development team.
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
It was extremely easy to work with MoldoWEB. Lucian instantly became part of our team and we never felt like he was a consultant. His extensive knowledge as well as humble attitude made him very pleasant to work with. Our teams gained a lot of knowledge from our collaboration with Lucian and were very happy that they had the opportunity to work with him.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
None that I can think ok.

Web Dev for Online Media Company
"I’m 100% satisfied with their work which is why I haven’t worked with anybody else in over 10 years."
the reviewer
the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the owner of Right Click Media LLC.
What challenge were you trying to address with MoldoWEB?
I run a content and community forum site that’s 11 years old. I had hired someone before MoldoWEB to customize it. It runs on WordPress and I wanted to include some add-ons. Instead of making a plug-in, he hacked the core of WordPress, which deleted a lot of features and made it impossible to make automatic updates. I hired MoldoWEB to help redevelop and redesign this site. They’ve continued to work on it, making updates, adding new features, and resolving any issues.
What was the scope of their involvement?
I found a new platform that works with WordPress and MoldoWEB was able to migrate all of the 1.2 million forum posts, 20,000 members, and 10 years of content onto it. They also worked with us to completely reinstall WordPress so that we’d have the most up-to-date version.
I also do web and mobile web design for my clients so I outsource certain parts of that work to MoldoWEB. Additionally, they’ve designed custom plug-ins for another WordPress site that I run.
What is the team composition?
We have one point of contact.
How did you come to work with MoldoWEB?
I contacted him through a freelancing site a couple of times and when we developed trust, we started working with him directly.
How much have you invested with them?
We have invested around $5,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We have been working with him since December 2011 and our engagement is ongoing.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
The traffic on the site tripled almost instantly after the relaunch and it has been steady since. This could be because of increased mobile accessibility and improved features. Almost all of the users love it.
How did MoldoWEB perform from a project management standpoint?
They speak English fluently. Their communication is excellent and when we make it clear that something is urgent, they get it done. We mostly contacted them via email and occasionally via Skype.
What did you find most impressive about them?
All of their work is of high quality.
Are there any areas they could improve?
No, I have no suggestions. I’m 100% satisfied with their work which is why I haven’t worked with anybody else in over 10 years.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
I would advise potential customers to have a very clear picture of what they want and need and what they’re trying to achieve. The better you communicate, the more likely they are to deliver.
