Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Design and build new website, including software integration of a listings management database. Key deliverables were focused around building an easy to use, scaleable backend system that would allow the site to grow without requiring expensive development to add features.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The site is easy to use and scale. We are too new into the launch to determine metric results other than we have been able to significantly compress our file sizes without losing quality, an important feature to us since we display thousands of high resolution images on the site through an API feed. 

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

The original project manager was communicative, but too slow. She did a poor job of matching the resources internally with the agreed upon deliverables and dates. She left the team (a good move for us and PopArt, as her values didn't line up with what we were seeing from leadership and the designer). 

They brought on a new project manager who was a skilled front end developer, had excellent communication skills, and was able to do a better job assessing the skillset of the backend developer we needed. The project accelerated at that point, with clear communication and support. They were always well organized, honest, ready to help and support meeting our agreed upon goals- there was no tension or debate about what was in scope or out of scope. 

They've done an amazing job of staying on agreed-upon timelines and making sure "we've got what we've been promised." They also made it easy to understand who was in charge- which was our account manager. No matter who did the work internally on their end, we didn't have to worry about finger pointing or excuses. That was impressive and much appreciated. 

What was your primary form of communication with PopArt Studio?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

Their update attitude, desire to deliver on their promise, and very detailed and timely communication. It truly felt like a partnership and they listened when you had a question, concern, idea or feedback. It wasn't ever "lip service" and I never felt it was us against them. 

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

I think they had too low of a level of project manager on our project in the beginning. Maybe they underestimated the site requirements, or maybe the project manager was the wrong fit. I think we should have alerted them early on that she was struggling to manage the project to meet the deliverables. 

I think PopArt could have recognized internally and done more to address the problem sooner. Maybe they did, as the PM left half way through, but if that was the case, I think it would have been helpful for their leadership to communicate that to us. When we eventually did express that we needed more support, we were given it almost immediately, which was very refreshing.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.
As a client, I had a pressing need for a specialized CRM system that could cater to my unique requirements. Existing CRM solutions in the market failed to adequately help me manage my customers' information effectively. Faced with this challenge, I turned to the experts at PopArt Studio to create a tailor-made CRM solution specifically designed for the agriculture sector. 
The goal of this project was to develop an internal agriculture CRM web application that could seamlessly handle the tracking, sorting, and filtration of our clients' data, something that was sorely lacking in off-the-shelf solutions. 
After carefully considering our requirements, PopArt Studio recommended building the application using PHP and the Laravel framework, combined with React for a user-friendly and efficient interface. We are confident that the solution developed by PopArt Studio will significantly enhance our ability to manage and leverage client information, ultimately driving improved efficiency and productivity in our agriculture-related operations.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
A personalized CRM solution has empowered our company to effectively track, add, and manage additional information for newly acquired customers who have already signed up with us. This strategic tool has proven invaluable in the long run, enabling us to streamline our customer journey and eliminate unnecessary overhead costs and other operational challenges.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I was the former co-owner and co-founder of International Online Lottery, an affiliate network in the gambling and lottery industry. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with PopArt Studio?

In 2017, everyone used WordPress themes that were available to everybody else. We wanted to stand out and have a proper WordPress theme custom-made with React and JavaScript. 

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Back then, we were still young in the digital industry. We didn’t understand much, though we had some mock-ups and ideas. It was on PopArt Studio’s team to guide us through the process. They offered us different variations of the product. 

What is the team composition?

Our main point of contact was Dejan (Founder & CEO), but I also had contact with two other teammates. 

How did you come to work with PopArt Studio?

Everybody else that we contacted only provided us with stock themes that were not different from anything else on the market. That was the case until I met PopArt Studio through a recommendation. I then talked to their project manager and kicked off the project. 

How much have you invested with them?

We invested around €8,000–€10,000 (approximately $8,400–$10,500 USD). 

What is the status of this engagement?

The project lasted from July–October 2017.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

PopArt Studio was proactive, so the product ended up way better than we imagined it would be. They had great suggestions on how to make it look nice and function properly. In the end, we got a lot of traffic and good comments on our website. Unfortunately, I didn’t keep it for too long. My business partner and I had full-time jobs, so we sold the website to another party. 

Nonetheless, it was still an extremely profitable endeavor for us. We made significant profits from the traffic and affiliate deals on the website. 

How did PopArt Studio perform from a project management standpoint?

They delivered the project on time and on budget. It only took them three months to finish it, and the deliverable ended up being a space shuttle compared to the small airplane that we initially envisioned, so to speak. For context, we initially expected to do the project in six months, but they did it in three months. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

Dejan truly made an impression on me that I still remember him six years later. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, there weren’t any. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Talk to PopArt Studio, and your project is going to be sorted.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the head of risk management for an alternative investment fund management company. I’m also part of the company’s board of directors.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with PopArt Studio?

We needed help to design and implement our website.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

PopArt Studio has built our WordPress website from scratch. We initially provided them with qualitative information about our company and values so they could understand what we wanted. We already had the website design in mind, so we provided PopArt Studio with our guidelines, logo, and the main features we expected to have.

We’ve had workshops back and forth to make the details precise. We’ve given PopArt Studio our ideas, and they’ve made proposals. The website’s main purpose is to disclose our services, values, and teams. PopArt Studio has put a questionnaire in place so people can contact us directly. They’ve also added animations so the site isn’t static information and links to Google Maps and our LinkedIn page.

What is the team composition?

We know a developer is in charge, but we’ve only had one key point of contact.

How did you come to work with PopArt Studio?

We found them online. We’d never worked with a company like this before, so we searched the Internet to find a European company we could use. PopArt Studio had good exposure on Google and many project examples on their website, so we were able to see they could design a website according to our expectations.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent around €15,000 (approximately $16,000 USD).

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them in June 2022, and our relationship is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The main element is the website. Although it isn’t currently online, PopArt Studio has delivered a product that clearly aligns with our expectations. We’ve presented the beta version to our board members and internal team, and everybody has been happy with the results. The site has a clear message to the market and is professional and tech-oriented.

We changed our minds during the development, but PopArt Studio adjusted accordingly. Overall, we’re very satisfied with the outcome.

How did PopArt Studio perform from a project management standpoint?

They haven’t made additional changes regarding the budget; they’re very professional. We’ve had other emergencies during the engagement, so we haven’t allocated much time to this project. However, PopArt Studio has been pragmatic and willing to adapt accordingly.

Moreover, there haven’t been delays, and we have excellent communication. The project manager in charge is very responsive. We use emails to summarize our discussions and send different website versions. We also have many Microsoft Teams meetings to discuss what we must address.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their responsiveness is outstanding. They’re always available, and the team adapts perfectly when we call them to specify something extra. Also, their pricing and quality ratio are great compared to their European competitors.

Are there any areas they could improve?

When we ask them to provide us with some ideas, PopArt Studio isn’t very original. On the other hand, when we ask for something specific, they do it very well. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I suggest having a good idea of what you want regarding functionality and design. If you’re looking for a creative team, PopArt Studio might be an issue; they’re more of a development company.
