BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm the owner of THINQ Design, a graphic design firm based in Fort Worth, Texas.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Orion7 Agency?

I needed additional web development assistance for our website beyond my own basic capabilities of working with various content management systems.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Orion7 acts as a virtual programming team, collaborating with me on various projects as needed. While I provide some of the frontend design work, they mostly handle the backend development. They've been involved in everything from doing the programming and conversion of a site from PSD files to producing final live sites. Most of the projects are done within Wordpress and Magento.

They've also developed many custom features for various industries, including creating online listings systems for a commercial real estate client and other complicated e-commerce sites.

What is the team composition?

I primarily work with four people who manage projects.

How did you come to work with Orion7 Agency?

Orion7 was referred to me by a friend. Initially, I gave them a small project to work on that I could easily check for quality and have been gradually giving them larger projects ever since.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent between $50,000–$60,000 last year.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in December 2016 and the relationship is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Working with Orion7 has allowed me to deliver high-quality projects to clients ahead of schedule. Our clients have been very happy with their work, which is incredibly important to us since we place a high value on maintaining relationships with our clients. I've never received a complaint about their work.

How did Orion7 Agency perform from a project management standpoint?

My primary project manager is amazing. I can't say enough good things about him. We stay in touch mostly through Skype.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They've invested a lot of time in learning our business and culture, which has helped them make the best decisions for us as we continue to work together. They're also proactive about asking questions and being responsive to our needs.

Their team feels like more of an extension of our own team than an outside vendor. They've even gone out of their way to visit our offices to talk to us in-person and get a feel for our company.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Anytime you hire an outside vendor, there's always a learning curve. I would suggest easing into the relationship and providing as much information about your company as possible, so they can better understand your industry and needs. They're great about investing the time to do that, so they can become a seamless part of your team.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I own an e-commerce site that sells inspirational products.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Orion7?

I needed someone to design and develop my e-commerce site. Since I don’t have a background in web development, I also needed someone who could understand my ideas and goals and translate those into a real product.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Orion7 developed a strategy to improve my branding, which involved establishing distinct projects and creating a process and schedule for each one. They worked on the e-commerce site first and began by using my ideas to create design options and a mock-up before working on the backend. The site is WordPress based and uses WooCommerce to support e-commerce. We consulted on copy, and they tested the site’s functionality before it went live. I’m also working with them on an LMS platform for online courses, but that’s still unfinished.

What is the team composition?

I worked with several people assigned to my project, but I communicated most frequently with my project manager.

How did you come to work with Orion7?

They were referred to me by another marketing company that had worked with them. I was impressed by the work they showed me and was pleased that they were willing to work with the concepts I presented.

What is the status of this engagement?

They worked on the e-commerce site from January to March of 2018, when the site launched.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The look is very simple and clean, which is the aesthetic I wanted. Users have given positive feedback and enjoy the look.

How did Orion7 perform from a project management standpoint?

Since I need to see a design visually before I can make a decision, I appreciated their quick turnaround time and their willingness to accommodate me.

They consistently provided updates when they finished different tasks or completed milestones. My project manager and I also communicated regularly (mostly through Skype), so I almost didn’t need those updates because I knew work was getting done.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They went beyond everything I asked and were always patient with me. I know it can be frustrating to have an indecisive client and was impressed by how dedicated they were to creating a product I liked.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Having a clear strategy in mind when you approach Orion7 can make the process much simpler. If you can communicate your vision, you won’t have to spend time going back and forth as they try and guess what you want.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I am the founder of Strong Social. We are a social media management and content writing agency based out of Canada.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Orion7 Agency LLC?

One part of our services over the years has been website design and development for certain customers. We started by doing them in-house, however things got too busy and we decided to outsource. We had a lot of trouble finding a company that could produce the quality and scale we were looking for and went through almost 10 agencies in a year before finding Orion7.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Orion7 helps us offer our clients affordable and efficient ways to design and build high quality websites for those that need them. They have been able to handle almost everything we have given them and built close to 30 or 40 websites. We usually give them a brief and they take it from there. We even allow them to have direct communication with our customers.

Most of the sites they have built are done using WordPress, but we have also had them work on a few Shopify sites, and they even built us a custom site for our own work. Depending on the client’s needs, they will build the site completely from scratch or just update one that already exists. The sites are always built to optimize SEO and social media monetization. They have also done some minor SEO work as well.

What is the team composition?

We work with two–four people depending on the project. That will include our project manager, a designer, and maybe an SEO person. We also know the owner of the company and can speak to them as needed.

How did you come to work with Orion7 Agency LLC?

After going through so many companies that weren’t meeting our needs, we decided to shut down all our website development offerings. Around that time, one of Orion7’s senior managers reached out offering their services and I decided to give it one more try. They really sounded like they knew what they were talking about and proved it after we hired them. We have been working with them ever since.

How much have you invested with them?

We have invested around $20,000 USD.

What is the status of this engagement?

We have been working with them since June 2016.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Everything Orion7 has built for us has been great. They use modern designs and templates that work well with social media, and they are all optimized for our needs. We never deliver a site unless the client is 100% pleased, and so far that has never been an issue. Even if the project is going over budget, they always work with our clients to make sure they are happy.

How did Orion7 Agency LLC perform from a project management standpoint?

My favorite part of working with them is their project management. Their team is so professional, we felt comfortable enough to let them deal directly with our customers. This allows us to handover the project brief for a site and let them totally handle the rest. I only have to get involved during final review for feedback, allowing me to attend to our other work. We communicate over Skype, phone, and email, and they are always available to talk.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The quality and professionalism of their project management has been outstanding. They are always willing to get on calls and will even create videos and screenshots for our clients to view their progress. Their knowledge of different systems and platforms has also been very impressive.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Sometimes we are given very limited briefs by our customers that make it difficult for Orion7 to design the website to our client’s specifications. That is obviously not entirely their fault, but sometimes the creative and graphic design aspect of projects could be improved. However, that has never really affected our work in the long run.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the founder and CEO of a boutique digital marketing company near Boston, Massachusetts.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Orion7 Agency LLC?

We hired Orion7 to update a client’s website. The company rewrote old content and modernized the site so it could handle high-quality streaming videos.

What were your goals for this project?

The website needed a fresh design that could match up with competitors’ sites.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

Orion7 was recommended by a colleague who worked with them previously.

Can you go into detail about the services they provided and the scope of the project?

Orion7 developed the site on their own temporary server. Not only did they make excellent recommendations, they installed a WordPress template of our client’s choice to accommodate the high-quality images and videos.

What was the team composition?

The team was composed of a team lead who delegated work to other developers.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?

My client was very pleased with the results of the project, which validated my trust in Orion7. I wouldn’t outsource to a team that would harm such a relationship.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

We held weekly calls, connected often via email, and utilized a project board to keep everything on track. They managed the project very well.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Orion7’s team is friendly and knowledgeable. They were patient with my company and accommodated our needs.

Are there any areas where they can improve?

They could improve their time management.
