I got the sense that the Pagepro team have a tremendous amount of experience managing projects and everything went smoothly like a well oiled machine.

We're so grateful that we came across Pagepro - we couldn't have asked for a better company to partner with.

I can't think of any negative areas at all. They were super professional, knowledgable and went the extra mile to accommodate our needs.

• Replatforming from Drupal to NextJS: Transitioned the entire platform from Drupal to NextJS to leverage its performance and scalability benefits. 
• Infrastructure Setup on AWS: Established and optimized our infrastructure on Amazon Web Services to ensure efficient deployment, scaling, and security. 
• Database Management with PostgreSQL: Integrated and managed our database systems using PostgreSQL, ensuring data integrity, security, and high availability. 
• Custom CMS with Strapi: Designed and implemented a bespoke CMS using Strapi. This provided us with a tailored content management solution that aligned with our specific business needs and workflows. 
• Custom Front-end and Back-end Functionalities: Developed custom functionalities that catered to our unique platform requirements. This ensured that we didn't compromise on features while transitioning to new technologies. 
• E-commerce System with Shopify API: Even though our e-commerce system is based on Shopify, PagePro integrated its API to develop custom functionalities. This allowed us to maintain the uniqueness of our platform, replicating functionalities from our previous setup while leveraging Shopify's robustness.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

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. The custom Shopify functionalities developed by PagePro have greatly streamlined our e-commerce operations, making tasks like updating product pricing and executing sitewide sales more efficient. 

Additionally, the restructuring has led to a reduction in AWS-related costs, highlighting the optimization and cost-efficiency of the new setup. The custom Strapi CMS built by PagePro has become a game-changer for our team, offering an intuitive interface for content updates. Lastly, the adoption of this modern framework has not only enhanced our current operations but also paved the way for easy integration of future features, thanks to the continued support and expertise of the PagePro team.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

The responsiveness and communication of the PagePro team was nothing but professional and comprehensive since the beginning of the project.

What was your primary form of communication with Pagepro?

Virtual Meeting

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

One of the things that has stood out to me from the beginning about the team at PagePro has been their overwhelming ability to communicate effectively and in a timely manner. Even though they're located in almost the exact opposite timezone as the majority of our team, we were able to launch the new platform with very little friction and couldn't be happier with the results.

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

I can't really think of anything to possibly suggest PagePro do differently if we were to begin working on a new project together. Their project management, customer relations, and development skills are top-notch. there's nothing in particular that stands out to me as any weak link in the chain.

Very good. They delivered on time and kept us informed at all times. Communication was very good. They made sure to clearly understand our vision and worked to implement this. They were also very transparent on costs and keeping within our budget.

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.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am a CTO of Techstep, where through mobile technologies, we’re making positive changes to the world of work freeing people to work more effectively, securely and sustainably.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

Techstep has acquired a software solution and needed to quickly gain control and comprehensive understanding of the source code of the solution.

SOLUTION

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

We have heard about the quality of Pagepro's services and their experience in mobile app development (especially regarding React Native).

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

We provided Pageopro with full access to the source code and made ourselves available to answer any questions. Pagepro revied the whole codebase, provided us with a comprehensive report outlining the recommendations, limitations and finindgs regarding the mobile applicatins.

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

A project manager was assigned to us. The work itself has been conducted by a Senior React developer, who had signinficant and impressive mobile experience.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We got a sense of clarity and full understanding of the solution and the next steps required to bring the application up to our standards.

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

It was very easy to coordinate the project - we met online using Google Meet and chatted on Slack whenever required. It was quick, to the point and painless.

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

Their expertise around React Native mobile app developemnet and experience from project similar to ours. We really felt that the advise and findings of Pagepro were founded in real work conducted before.

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

NA

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the founder of Just In Case Estates, a recently launched startup in the estate planning space in the US. We create last will testaments, living trusts, advance healthcare directives, and other legal documents of that nature.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Pagepro?

We needed help with web development.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Pagepro has helped us build a website, and they’ve been instrumental in laying the groundwork for our new web application. We’ve also launched a CMS, into which they’ve coded various documents.

The web app uses a third-party system for the frontend. On it, users fill in their information, which then passes through the custom code developed by Pagepro to generate the legal documents.

What is the team composition?

We work with a small team at Pagepro led by Chris (CEO & CTO). The team includes two senior developers, one for the frontend and one for the backend, and a junior developer for the backend as well.

How did you come to work with Pagepro?

I found Pagepro through a Google search of development agencies specializing in React, and I invited them and a handful of other agencies to bid on my project. 

Through a series of conversations in the RFP stage, I got to know Pagepro well. Although some of the other agencies offered more economical pricing on their bids, I chose Pagepro because I was very impressed with the level of detail and thought they put into their proposal. It was clear that they had a solid understanding of what I needed and how to get there. 

Additionally, I instantly hit it off with Chris (CEO & CTO), Tatiana (Business Development Lead), and the Pagepro devs who supported their bid. I could tell that I would enjoy working with this team from a personal perspective over the coming months. 

Based on their tech capabilities, well conceived project plan, and personable team, engaging Pagepro was an easy decision, and I'm very happy with how our relationship has progressed.

How much have you invested with them?

We've invested about $30,000 in Pagepro projects.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in August 2021, and our engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Pagepro took us from a start-from-scratch to product launch. 

We conducted rigorous testing to validate the efficacy of the product that Pagepro built, and I’m very pleased with the results. Overall, we feel very good about their work.

How did Pagepro perform from a project management standpoint?

Pagepro’s project management is great; we’re very satisfied with them in that regard. Chris has acted as the project manager, and he and his team are very communicative. Whenever we face unanticipated challenges, we quickly discuss what needs to be done and how to resolve them.

We use Teamwork for the core of project management, and we leverage other collaboration tools. We communicate through Slack and Teamwork, and we have short 10-minute Zoom or Google Meet meetings twice a week.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Apart from their technical skill and proficiency, which I really appreciate, Pagepro is very honest. Having a partner that we can trust and get to know has been critically important for us, especially since we’re working with a remote team. I trust them, and I’m very confident about their work, so I would highly recommend them.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No. We’ve faced some unexpected challenges that have pushed the timelines back a little bit, but I don’t attribute those to Pagepro. Those challenges are part of the nature of these engagements, and Pagepro has been very proactive in their resolution, so I’m satisfied with how they handle those situations.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

My one piece of advice for potential customers is the common sense reminder to make sure that you have a solid understanding of the required resources and timeline for your project. 

Pagepro is not a 100+ person dev farm, and therefore you may find it difficult to spin up lots of additional resources if you misjudge the requirements and Pagepro doesn't immediately have the extra bandwidth to fill it.  

The "plus" side of Pagepro's smaller size is that -- even as a young, upstart company like Just In Case Estates -- you'll receive great attention and care on your project that you simply won't get at a larger firm. 

If you believe you've got a good handle on your requirements and Pagepro has the bandwidth to supply it, then absolutely go for it. I have no reservations recommending them, and have already done so to several other friends and contacts in my network.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the owner and director of a software consultancy, and we do bespoke software development. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Pagepro?

We had an outdated website, and although we could develop the site ourselves, our team was busy. We needed help developing a new website. 

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Pagepro developed our new website using Sanity. The implementation and layout were done from scratch, but they reused text and images from our previous site. They refreshed our pages and gave them a new look and feel. Additionally, they moved our platform to a new CMS.

Pagepro had already delivered the site, and they ensured that we were happy with it. 

What is the team composition?

We spoke with four teammates, including project managers and technical resources. 

How did you come to work with Pagepro?

We looked for web design agencies through a Google search. We shortlisted three, and they all sent us proposals. We chose Pagepro because they passed our technical test, and their offer matched how we wanted the website to be done. In addition, we liked the flexibility of their package. 

How much have you invested with them?

We spent between $10,000–$50,000. 

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from March–September 2021.  

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Pagepro’s website scored highly on Google Lighthouse, which meant it was accessible and would perform well on Google Search. Overall, we were pleased with their work, considering our budget wasn’t too big.

How did Pagepro perform from a project management standpoint?

Pagepro was very good at project management. Despite that, they weren’t able to finish the website on time. We collaborate through weekly meetings, emails, and Slack.  

What did you find most impressive about them?

Pagepro’s team was accommodating, and they even did small tasks outside of our contract.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I can’t think of anything. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Trust them — you can put yourself in their hands.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a project manager at Localcoin, a cryptocurrency ATM company based in Canada.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Pagepro?

We were looking to rebuild our existing website with a new Jamstack architecture.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Pagepro completely rebuilt our entire website and deployed it. We provided some documentation and explained what we were looking for, and they responded with a Gantt chart that broke down the project. Additionally, they created their own technical documentation that narrowed down how they would build the site we wanted. 

The Pagepro team used a React framework called Next.js to develop the site and Prismic as a CMS. They also utilized Theme UI for the theming process. Some of the site’s features included announcement banners, a map widget, and our forms, which they redesigned. The mad widget was particularly vital to us because it pinpointed the user’s location and where they can find our ATMs in the area. The site was also available in different languages. Additionally, they worked on the site’s SEO. 

Although the development process is finished, the team continues to add new features. They also provide inputs on the UI/UX design and the tech stack.

What is the team composition?

We mainly worked with three people: a UI/UX designer, a lead developer, and the CEO, who acted as the project manager. At some point, about five people were working on the project because a few more developers hopped on the project when we needed to push things a bit further. 

How did you come to work with Pagepro?

We found them on Clutch and checked out their blogs. We noticed that their pages and blog posts were in the top three results on Google, which was essential to us because we were looking to improve our SEO. Aside from the excellent blog content, the team seemed knowledgeable and offered reasonable prices, so we proceeded with hiring them.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent $16,000. Currently, we’re in a service-level agreement (SLA) and pay them $1,500 a month.

What is the status of this engagement?

The project lasted from February–June 2021. The development is done, but we’re still in close communication due to the SLA.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

They did a good job. The team helped us achieve the KPIs we set for the project, including high Google Lighthouse scores, a lighter website, increased speed, and better SEO ranking. Our map widget was also much faster. The upgraded tech stack has made the deployment process much simpler. 

How did Pagepro perform from a project management standpoint?

Their project management was great — they were organized and used their own task management software, which allowed us to communicate quite effectively. Pagepro delivered everything we asked for and stuck to their estimated price.

In terms of communication, we used their task management tool and email. We also had check-in calls via Google Meet twice every month.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Pagepro exhibited strong execution. They understood our technical goals and our desired performance metrics, and they kept their word and worked hard to achieve those metrics. The team was also very detail-oriented, and they did an excellent job translating what we wanted into features and bug fixes.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They could improve on setting more accurate timelines or working more efficiently to hit their deadlines. Unfortunately, we went a bit over their estimated timeline.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Be very open with your communication and be specific on exactly what you want. Utilize their task management software, as well. The more actively you work with Pagepro, the better the results are going to be. Additionally, be prepared to adjust to their time zone as they’re based in Poland.
