P2H Inc

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m an art director and designer at Nordskill, an independent design service provider.

What challenge were you trying to address with P2H Inc?

We needed a development partner to help us accomplish our client projects.

What was the scope of their involvement?

We’ve made seven projects with  P2H Inc so far. Their first deliverable is for our client that needs a WordPress website. My team has handled the UX/UI design, and I’ve tasked  P2H Inc with the platform’s development. They’ve submitted a mock-up and asked for our feedback before launching the development phase and deploying all the solutions and plugins according to our requirements. 

Our succeeding projects have followed the same workflow, with P2H Inc taking over most of the development work. Additionally, their team continuously supports us with maintenance services to ensure the efficacy of the platforms and implement any necessary changes.

What is the team composition?

My main point of contact is their dedicated project manager.

How did you come to work with P2H Inc?

I found one of P2H Inc’s online ads and was curious enough to navigate through their website. I liked their portfolio and offerings, so I made a mental note to contact them when I needed their services.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent about $25,000 so far.

What is the status of this engagement?

Our ongoing collaboration started in December 2015.

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

P2H Inc’s seamless coding skills allow them to produce quality websites that surpass the performance of other WordPress websites developed by different providers. Their team is highly capable of creating robust platforms that can stand the test of time. When we do encounter bugs or lag issues, they’re always quick to address those.

How did P2H Inc perform from a project management standpoint?

We communicate through their own project management tool incorporated into their website. We can always count on P2H Inc to stay online, respond to our queries, and meet our timelines and budget.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We’re most impressed with their team’s communication skills — P2H Inc goes the extra mile to ensure that our needs are heard and met.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They can be more feedback-oriented.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Be prepared to invest a great amount of money in exchange for high-quality services.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I am the owner and founder of Stay Gold, a design and products studio.

What challenge were you trying to address with P2H Inc?

I’ve been using P2H’s services for quite some time now. I’m an old customer of theirs, and I mainly use them for HTML development.

What was the scope of their involvement?

Our latest project entailed HTML development. We were prototyping a product in high fidelity to help a client understand the product. P2H made it so that the prototype was viewable on a mobile phone or a tablet. This way, we were able to provide feedback more quickly. Once we vetted everything in the prototype, we then went into building out a custom CMS. 

What is the team composition?

It depends on what type of project we’re working on, but I consistently work with four people on a monthly basis. There is one project manager, one QA, and the rest are engineers and developers who scale up or down as needed.

How did you come to work with P2H Inc?

There's a couple of reasons why I hired P2H. Though it’s counterintuitive, the 24-hour time difference between where they’re based and where I’m based works very well for me. I also liked their soft skills; they’re not a team that complains. I can give them work and they will be very straightforward about it. 

How much have you invested with them?

For the current project, I’ve invested about $35,000–$40,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with P2H around 2009, and our latest project has been going for 3–4 months now. I have the team on retainer.

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

The value that P2H has provided me over the years has been of extreme quality. They have consistently and efficiently delivered frontend design work at phenomenal turnaround times and at a competitive price. My partnership with them has really allowed me to scale my business. 

How did P2H Inc perform from a project management standpoint?

I have a comfortable relationship with P2H, to the extent that they can tell me when something might be wrong. They provide guidance and recommendations in a polite manner.

We collaborate through Asana and the team designs in Figma. We communicate day-to-day through Slack. If any clarifications are needed, we just jump in on a quick Zoom call. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

P2H’s frontend design work is second to none. They have the best engineers. Whenever I give them my design, they get back to me with a pixel-perfect product that is exactly aligned with what I need. 

Another impressive thing about them is their ability to design on a bootstrap grid, which saves us time from having to design mobile, tablet, and PC-compatible prototypes from scratch. We can just design, say, the mobile version, and they have a system that allows them to take that and rework it to be compatible with all devices. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

I wish they had more variety on their tools for backend work so I could give them a lot more work. I understand that they focus on one thing as a business, but it would be great if they expanded their services. Other than that, there is nothing they could do differently. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

You need to have a good understanding of how global teams work. Some people have a rigidity to them, but it’s often just a matter of cultural difference. My recommendation is that you acquaint yourself with the people you’re going to work with. 

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the VP of marketing in a growing startup that has just raised $25 million in series A round led by Accel. We currently have 25 people but we’re expanding to have 60 employees in the next six months.

What challenge were you trying to address with P2H Inc?

We’re highly built on digital marketing. Our digital presence is very important for our go-to-market dynamic, so we hired P2H for their development and design services.

What was the scope of their involvement?

P2H takes care of all of our development and design needs, whether it be for a website, microsite, app, or any other digital media. They perform backend updates, overall website performance improvements, web page creation, and UX enhancements. They set up the hosting and build resource libraries for us as well. We also turn to the team to create tools for our campaign work as well as customized management consoles. Right now, they are developing an online game for our company. 

For every major development or design need, we provide the team with a technical brief that details our functional and design requirements. We sometimes also provide them with a mockup that they could build off of. We’ve been working together for a very long time, so we have a good understanding of each other’s processes. P2H adjusts as needed to our timelines and complex workflows.

What is the team composition?

We are working with a project manager, several front- and backend developers, a QA team, and a design team. 

How did you come to work with P2H Inc?

I worked with P2H in my previous organization. I used to manage the digital marketing and growth teams there, and when we were looking to expand our internal web dev team, I debated hiring additional developers or hiring P2H. They were highly commended by that previous company’s CTO, so I decided to use them. That way, we could have a flexible, scalable arrangement. 

They delivered everything quickly and according to our expectations. There were no issues. I decided to bring them in once more when I started working for this new company.

How much have you invested with them?

Over the years, including our work in the previous company, we’ve spent around $250,000–$500,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

This engagement started in June 2018 and is still ongoing. 

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

P2H’s development work has helped us bring in 10 million users and tens of millions of dollars to our pipeline, annually. They’ve become essential to the main generation channels of our multibillion-dollar company. As our external development resource, they’ve continuously and consistently delivered everything we’ve asked for in terms of timeliness and quality.

How did P2H Inc perform from a project management standpoint?

We’ve had this partnership across two companies now, which speaks a lot about their performance as a development team. Their project manager, in particular, is very understanding and works to accelerate processes in order to get things to us more quickly and efficiently. We use Jira with a Jenkins integration to manage the different projects. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

P2H’s ability to operate and deliver any type of digital project really stands out. Web development houses usually only specialize in one type of platform, but this team is very diversely skilled. They are versatile and flexible, able to support us on any type of platform, and capable of providing experts in QA, development, and design. Everything is under one roof.  

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, I haven’t found anything that P2H couldn’t tackle.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Be very clear about what you want or invest time in leveraging resources to come up with a detailed brief. You will need this before you engage in actual development with P2H. Make sure to outline what you want them to build for you and how you would like to manage the production process. Don’t leave a lot of room for interpretation; be as specific as possible.

Please describe your company and your position there.

Head of Marketing at a Swiss cybersecurity company

For what projects/services did your company hire P2H Inc, and what were your goals?

We hired P2H to design and develop a new WordPress website for us within a relatively short time period.

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

P2H was recommended to us by our colleague who has formerly worked with P2H. We liked a lot their references, I could see that they design nice websites and the first introductory call was very positive. Also, the prices of P2H were competitive, but most importantly they confirmed being able to deliver the website within a short deadline.

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

We needed a customized WordPress template and a new WordPress website. We provided P2H with an initial design sketch with our ideas, which they then refined and used to develop the design of all the pages. 8 pages were designed and developed altogether, including many illustrations, one animation and two forms.

Since we needed a CMS that could be used without coding knowledge, we chose WordPress, but we wanted to have a static website. We used Shifter for this and P2H migrated and set up the new website in Shifter.

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

A project manager was our main point of contact throughout the process for the overall project and there was also a back-end project manager, who coordinated the back-end development.

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

P2H delivered a well-designed, nice looking website that completely fulfilled our expectations, but most importantly, they delivered a clean and neat, easy to use WordPress template. Additionally they delivered within the agreed (and tight) time scope.

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

We used Slack to coordinate, P2H was always very fast to implement the requested changes. They were also fast to react whenever we had any questions and they also understood very well what we wanted; we had fast and efficient iterations. We also appreciated their friendly and helpful manner.

Although they were easy-going -which made them a pleasure to work with-, we always felt that our requests are being taken seriously and handled promptly. We never questioned that they committed resources to us, it was clear that they were working with 100% dedication on our project.

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

They gave us a professional website that is easy to update and working with them was a very positive experience. They delivered high quality work and what we asked for, on time and within budget.

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

No, we were completely satisfied with with the work of P2H.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

They developed and implemented a WordPress site with a Presswise storefront.

What was the team composition?

The team had a single project lead that would speak with us and discuss our needs. Then they would utilize 2-3 developers to work on various parts of the project base on the needs of the project.

The project was well-received by the client and in return, we received positive feedback from them and will most likely get referrals from this.

Our goals was to provide our clients a modern, responsive and fully functional custom website with an easy to use back office.

They were recommended to us by another agency. We had struggle in the past to find good and affordable developers and we were willing to try this new solution.

Full frontend and backend custom theme development.

What was the team composition?

We had one interlocutor all along the project who was both reactive and flexible. It was a pleasure working with him.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the Chief Creative Officer at a design firm with more than 55 years of experience specializing in annual reports, sustainability and CSR reports, proxy statements, websites, digital solutions and branding.

For what projects/services did your company hire P2H Inc?

We have worked with P2H on a number of web development projects that required a variety of development platforms and languages. All projects are typically under tight deadlines and require frequent, detailed communication between both parties.

What were your goals for this project?

The specific goals of the project vary, but there are some common fundamental goals that must be met on all projects. The designs we provide must be built to match, the code must be clean and adhere to best practice standards, and delivery times cannot be compromised.

How did you select this vendor?

P2H was found through independent research. There have been many other vendors we have used over the years, but those relationships have discontinued due to a number of reasons such as missed deadlines, sub-standard quality of work, and poor communication.

Due to the fact our projects have hard deadlines, it was imperative we partner with a company that shared our values in providing high-quality work and reliable customer service.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

P2H has developed WordPress, Drupal, HubSpot and HTML sites for us. The complexity in technology requirements has varied, as have the intricacies of the design and animation features.

They have also been a valuable partner to us when it comes to providing fair, accurate, and detailed cost estimates in a timely manner. When a new project begins, specifications, as well as all design assets, are sent to our Project Manager at P2H.

After those are received and reviewed, a time estimate is sent to me when the test links are expected to be available to review.

What was the team composition?

Our interaction with P2H is limited to working directly with their Project Manager. This makes for a very clear and efficient process for us. The PM we work with does a wonderful job of processing all of the information I provide and then works with her team to deliver the required answers and solutions. Everything is clearly explained to me and communicated in great detail.

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

Partnering with a trusted resource has provided us many benefits. It has freed up a great deal of the time that I was previously spending on administrative work, overseeing resources, and following-up on vendors.

We have also experienced efficiencies with our in-house development team. Previously, they had to spend time cleaning up and fixing work from other vendors. Now, they are able to fully concentrate on their own workload.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

Project management has been the main reason why we have experienced a successful partnership. Compared to other vendors, the access we receive, pleasant communication, and accuracy of details are all greatly improved.

Most correspondence is handled through email and they do a great job of keeping the volume of emails to a minimum. Skype is also used for immediate access if need be.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

P2H is an efficient organization. This is evident in the way the projects are handled from start to finish.

The most impressive aspect of working with P2H however, is the personal touch we receive. Our wonderful Project Manager is always kind, detailed, accessible, professional, and under control. It's reassuring knowing the work will be getting done as expected, and it greatly improves the customer experience when you are dealing with a caring person.

I know there are countless others within the organization working hard behind the scenes to make each project a success, but the PM we deal with is a wonderful representation of the P2H brand.

Are there any areas for improvement?

For the purposes which we are working together, I cannot think of any areas where improvements need to be made.

Please describe your company and your position there.

The Impossible Roads Foundation is a tax-exempt emergency relief organization/charity (EIN: 46-3934466) that defines “emergency” past the familiar disasters of earthquakes, fires, and hurricanes into the more personal understandings of homelessness, displacement, and general crisis. We are the creative and sustainable response for those (humans and animals) in the most “impossible” situations . We share, connect, and uplift the “impossible” roads, tools, vehicles, journeys, actions and lives that bring light and Hope to those in need. I am the President.

For what projects/services did your company hire P2H Inc?

We had adapted NASA's Crisis Mapping Toolkit and had added a social dimension to it that allowed us not only to track hurricanes, fires, and other natural disasters, but also the more social and personal crisis...like food insecurity, displacement, homelessness, etc. We needed P2H to create a website version of our updated module that allowed the public to interact, donate and help those in need.

What were your goals for this project?

To produce a website that is responsive and accessible to anyone who wanted to help those on an impossible road. We needed to use the base NASA Data and incorporate into a more comprehensive offering online while still incorporating great design.

How did you select this vendor?

P2H was an easy choice. They were results driven, they had a great and responsive team, and they were experts in the type of work that would elevate our services. Also, we had a specific design language that we needed to keep consistent...P2H business expertise matched our needs perfectly.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

They developed, configured, and launched the back-end and front end of our website. The project began with a discovery of the documents, which led to an overall understanding of the challenges and goals. Once we approved the workflows, wire-frames, and mock ups, the actual production and implementation began. They had functional version ready in a very short time. Improvements and upgrades have continued through the years.

What was the team composition?

The project team was a group of web experts, designers, Java experts and programmers. Certain experts would be introduced depending on the complexity of the update or the design iteration. We continually work with a very competent, patient and amazing product manager in Anya Pozdnyakova. Who has been with our team from beginning to end and has been a steadying hand throughout the entire development.

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

As an emergency relief charity, it is our job to not only have the best and most up-to-date information, but to also communicate that information to those that have a desire to help those in the community. The development of the Impossible Roads Foundation adaptation of the NASA's Crisis Mapping toolkit will have a profound positive impact not only on the way we serve those in need, but on how others respond, in real time, to the challenges that their fellow neighbors face.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

Project Management was incredibly impressive and professional. The team regularly met deadlines and always communicated updates and needs in a timely manner. After business hours we often reached out to the the project manager through Skype and always had a reply within minutes. During the course of our work together our management suffered a setback in a terminal illness diagnoses, and the project management for P2H worked with us to push deadlines and schedules further down the road so that we could deal with the changes and challenges.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

The project manager for P2H, Anya Pozdnyakova, is the best web development project manager that we have ever had. Without her, the great work that we have finished and are in the process of completing would have not been possible.

Are there any areas for improvement?

There is very little that I can find that needs to improve. We look forward to finally finishing our project int he coming weeks and it has been a great honor and privilege to work with the developers, designers and experts at P2H.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I’m the founder and CEO of a free-to-list property portal for estate agents and commercial property brokers. We provide an advertising platform for real estate agents to list and market their properties, thereby connecting them with both local and international buyers, renters, and investors.

For what projects/services did your company hire P2H Inc?

We hired P2H to take over our entire frontend development, implementing the responsive design we’d created in Adobe Photoshop.

What were your goals for this project?

Due to our rapid growth last year, we wanted to replace our outdated site with the latest technology, pivoting to a mobile-first and mobile-friendly approach. The site had to include all key information buyers and renters want and a UX that was accessible to everyone, regardless of their technological comfort-level.  

How did you select this vendor?

Several friends told us about P2H about five years ago when we used them on a previous project. We thought their work was brilliant, so it was a no-brainer this time. No one can do a better job for such an affordable price.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

Using our detailed specification document, P2H developed our responsive design in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. They delivered 5–6 iterations along the way, which is impressive considering the size of the project.

What was the team composition?

We worked with a project manager and a developer from P2H. We communicated solely with the project manager, but both of them were brilliant throughout. I look forward to working with both of them again.

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

As we’re still developing the backend in-house, the website hasn’t launched yet. Based on what exists in the market so far, however, we expect our site to be a step ahead of everything else. Its search-engine optimized structure and cutting-edge UX will take us in a great direction. P2H delivered everything in our specification perfectly. They’ve helped us achieve every one of our goals.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

Communicating solely via Skype, the entire experience was pleasant, seamless, and professional. Our project manager was highly organized, checking every detail to ensure nothing was missed or lost in translation. We were always aware of our project’s status and worked through challenges together. When we partner with P2H again, we’re going to request to work with her specifically. Her efficiency was just outstanding.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

I’m a perfectionist, but P2H blew me away with their attentiveness, both to me and to the minutiae of my project. They never complained or gave me a hard time or charged us more for change requests. Their understanding won me over 10-fold.

Are there any areas for improvement?

There’s always room for improvement, but I can honestly say that they exceeded our expectations on every level. They’re a remarkable company full of fantastic people. In our minds, there’s no other option but P2H. They’re the market leaders, and rightly so.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the creative director at an agency.

What challenge were you trying to address with P2H Inc?

We’ve worked with P2H on WordPress, Drupal, and HTML CSS platforms. Generally, we give their team design requirements and other elements, and we go back and forth during the development phase.

What is the team composition?

I work consistently with a project manager and his development team. Sometimes other project managers engage in specific projects.

How did you come to work with P2H Inc?

P2H began working with our company before I started there.

What is the status of this engagement?

They’ve worked with our business on various projects since 2014.

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

P2H does a fantastic job bringing designs to life. Their work matches our requirements and functions well. They do an excellent job at following our specifications and figuring out creative solutions when needed.

How did P2H Inc perform from a project management standpoint?

P2H excelled at project management. Their team mainly uses Trello. During the review phase of the project, we can communicate every day or every other day depending on the project. But while their team is working on development, I probably talk with them once a week.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I’m continually impressed with their work quality, especially with their HTML CSS products. I appreciate the efficiency of their communication.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Early on, we had issues with projects being delayed, but overall, those have been straightened out.
