Pagepro

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the digital project director at OmniaMed Communications, a global medical communications agency working on behalf of pharmaceutical companies. Our product, GP notebooks, provides medical information to healthcare professionals (HCPs) in different therapy areas across the UK, the US, Australia, and India. We have a main website containing this information and several microsites for different pharmaceutical companies to educate HCPs, healthcare experts, and everyone working within the industry.

It's a challenging industry since there are different legal processes, and we can't advertise the same way in all countries. We must follow the pharmaceutical code of conduct.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Pagepro?

We needed help with web development for our main product, the GP notebook websites, which contain a vast amount of data. Given that these are totally independent websites for different clients, and we make them on their behalf, each website requires thorough development. It's worth noting that the content of the websites needed to adjust to the different global restrictions and guidelines regarding the digital and pharmaceutical industries.

However, this content couldn't be changed dynamically since we had already approved and signed it off. So, the challenge was adapting each website's content to respect nations' restrictions while keeping it as close as possible to the original source. It was a complex challenge.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Pagepro has rebuilt our main GP notebook website. They’ve worked on that site and the other microsites for our clients. We’ve scoped everything out and provided them with documentation. The team has built everything from scratch based on feedback from different design sources, as we collaborate with three different design studios.

Pagepro has supplied 70% of the Figma files for the frontend. Moreover, the team has built a full stack website using Next.js and distributed the content to different regions using Sanity. The websites are multi-regional, so all the content needs to be customizable per region globally. Not to mention, Pagepro is currently maintaining the website and integrating new features periodically, making each feature available across all different site versions and releasing them upon our approval.

What is the team composition?

Over the last two years, we’ve had around 10 people in total: Michał, the project manager, a head developer, a junior developer, and others in the background. People definitely review the websites' code.

How did you come to work with Pagepro?

Pagepro had already been working with the company for around four years when I joined.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent around £200,000. This amount includes the maintenance and our current projects.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in November 2021, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Since September 2023, our US site has had around 70,000 page views. These websites are quite peculiar since their content can't be indexed on any website, and the only people viewing them are targeted HCPs, so these numbers are remarkable. We drive traffic through emails and directly to the HCPs within our networks.

We’ve had a few smaller bugs, and Pagepro has quickly fixed them. Everything built has functioned as intended, and Pagepro has exceeded our expectations.

How did Pagepro perform from a project management standpoint?

They have met expectations regarding meeting deadlines and budget management. We use Jira and Asana for project management. Besides, we communicate through Slack, email, and Google Meet, and have had weekly calls and many meetings.

Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?

Michał has been exceptionally good; he has helped ease the transition between several junior developers assigned to our project. I've done massive Salesforce projects and know how much knowledge the architects should have, and he's been extremely good at providing solutions in this role.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Pagepro's architecture and solutions are impressive; they're the team's main strength. We frequently have changing requirements and delay approving any changes, but they have been very good while adjusting the sites' functionalities. Overall, juggling our requirements, the legal and medical policies, and the websites' backend structure has been a complex challenge they have successfully overcome.

Are there any areas they could improve?

It would be nice if they had an internal design team, given that there tends to be a lot of back and forth regarding the project's frontend.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Plan out all the outcomes you want right from the start, and remember what you want from the solution. Try to map out every single scenario upfront so Pagepro can create a fitting solution.

Their ability to blend expertise with collaboration creates a smooth and productive partnership. We chose PagePro initially from a referral and they have lived up to the reference. They not only deliver exceptional frontend solutions but have also become an integral part of our organization.

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

PagePro are proactive, and whenever we have issues, they are discussed in advance and a plan is hatched to address the problem. So we are always, iteratively improving on what they offer us as a business and constantly improving the partnership.

Following the transition to NextJS, our platform has become notably faster, more user-friendly, and simpler to update, leading to increased user satisfaction and engagement.

Additionally, the restructuring has led to a reduction in AWS-related costs, highlighting the optimization and cost-efficiency of the new setup.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the Co-Founder & CEO of Just In Case Estates, a legal tech startup that makes estate planning easy and enjoyable for everyday Americans.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

We hired PagePro to continue the custom build out of our backend document generation processes and extend support of the new Just In Case Estates members portal.

SOLUTION

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

PagePro nailed development and completion of a previous project that we did with them in 2021, and so it was an easy decision to engage them for our next scope of work.

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

We worked with PagePro on a previous engagement, and so the PP team was already familiar with our infrastructure and able to dive right in to the project. PagePro refactored the node.js document generation scripts we previously built to work for both initial user form submission and subsequent form / data editing in the members portal.

To empower our new members portal, PagePro helped launch our custom API to allow for easy data transfer between the FE members portal (React) and our AWS RDS database. The final product allows Just In Case Estates members to create and manage their estate plans with ease.

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

We initially worked with a 3-person project team -- FE eng, BE eng, and project manager. Following the onboarding of an additional FE eng on our internal team, we condensed the PagePro project team down to working directly 1:1 with a senior full-stack engineer, who led the BE development and provided additional support to our FE engs.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We launched the production-ready version on-time and on-budget, with a massive increase in user satisfaction.

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

PagePro was very easy to communicate with. We managed the project in TeamWork, had regular standups via Zoom, and communicated on Slack for other miscellaneous questions and clarifications.

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

We had direct access to the PagePro team, which made communication very straightforward. We also were able to adjust the scope and committed team size to better fit with our growing internal team.

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

We enjoyed working with PagePro on this engagement and would readily work with them again.
