FINIDR printing house is one of the biggest producers of hardback and paperback books in Central Europe with 26 years long tradition. I am the head of the marketing department.

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

We hired Moravio to design and develop our company's new website. The goal was to create a website that will be well usable for our target groups and there will be clear and understandable call to action elements. We needed to cover information for all our target groups as potential employees, current employees and customers - print managers and publishing houses. The website was to be implemented in five language versions. The contract also included the design and development of a web application for the 3D presentation of a production line for trade fairs.

How did you select Moravio and what were the deciding factors?

We did a tender. We were looking for a partner for long-term cooperation, someone who comes up with suggestions and ideas, and who is able to guide our ideas in the right direction. Internal referral was also an important factor.

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

At the beginning, a project analysis took place across all involved departments in the company. We have defined requirements, expectations, goals and acceptance criteria. Then the design was done using a wireframe and the graphic design of the website was created. Finally, the site was developed and deployed. The Wordpress platform is used for web administration. All phases took place in an iterative way so we could see the progress of the project and we could provide feedback on an ongoing basis.

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

Project manager, UX designer, Graphic designer, Developers and Testers.

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

We have great feedback from our potential employees because they easily found all the information they needed. We've seen an increase in site visits and a decrease in bounce rates. Users also use important call to action elements.

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

Communication was fast and efficient. The approach was very personal and committed. We used the Basecamp application and emails for all communication. We always had a good overview of the status of the project and we were involved in it. During the project, a demo took place several times. Each demo was used to present larger partial parts of the final result. The result was delivered on time.

The cooperation was very intensive and dynamic. The responses were really fast and all our requests were processed in a short time. We felt that Moravio perfectly understood our ideas and needs.

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

There is always something to improve. In the case of Moravio, however, these things were so small that it is not even worth talking about.

The team at Moravio helped us develop the project on time. Their resources were as efficient as if we hired someone in-house. It was a big advantage that they used to work with our technology before.

How did Moravio perform from a project management standpoint?

The project was led by a project owner that worked in an agile approach. They deliver on time. For communication, we use Slack and Jira.

They had the ability to become part of the team quickly. The fit was so good that they didn’t feel like an outsourced company.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I have no areas of improvement.
