Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m one of the founders and the COO of Littlecode. We’re a software development agency that provides tech development, desktop software development, and mobile development. 

What challenge were you trying to address with Roud Studio?

When we started the company four years ago, we only built a simple website and didn’t put that much effort into it. We decided to revamp the website, and we needed a web design and development agency to help us with this project. 

What was the scope of their involvement?

Roud Studio designed and developed our website from scratch. We started by having a call with their CEO, and he explained their processes to our team. After that, they prepared the site’s design, which we could request to revise up to three times. We gave them a short brief and documentation about our target audience.  

Once Roud Studio finalized the design using Figma, they developed the website using WordPress and PHP. They hired a copywriter who prepared the site’s content. They then built the site’s home page, services page, technology page, about us page, careers page, and get in touch page.   

What is the team composition?

Alexander (CEO & Creative Director) was my point of contact, but I also worked with a copywriter, a web designer, and two web developers.

How did you come to work with Roud Studio?

I went to Clutch and looked for web design agencies that had a 4.8-star and above rating. I also looked for smaller companies since they tend to invest more time, work more agile, and don’t have predefined processes. I searched for agencies in the UK, Germany, Austria, and Poland because most of our clients are based in those countries. 

Roud Studio showed as the top web development agency in Poland, and I reached out to them. They were quick to reply and had an easy process. Their price wasn’t the cheapest, but it wasn’t also the most expensive — they were within our budget.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent $12,000–$13,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

Our engagement lasted from June–September 2021. 

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

Roud Studio’s design looked modern, and the website was fast and reliable. It had a solid backend, and it was easy to scale. 

How did Roud Studio perform from a project management standpoint?

Roud Studio was proactive when it came to project management. Whenever there was a roadblock or anything that could jeopardize deadlines, they actively tried to solve it.

We communicate using email and calls, and we collaborate using InVision. Roud Studio achieved our goals and delivered the site in a timely manner. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

Roud Studio recognized our needs, and they had business acumen. Whenever we wanted something, we didn’t need to explain much — they grasped what we needed and understood the way we think and what we wanted the result to be.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I can’t think of anything. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

It’s important to have a clear vision of what you want — find a way to explain that to Roud Studio. 

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm CEO of Enix Ltd, one of the leading independent providers of Web , email and Cloud Hosting services in the UK.

For what projects/services did your company hire Roud Studio?

Roud created our original customer facing website several years ago. After some research we decided that we wanted to reinvigorate our key landing pages to increase engagement and drive conversions.

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

Having worked with Roud before it was the obvious choice, as we was already delighted with the original outcome.

Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.

As we had a high quality website already, this was very much a fine tuning exercise. We identified key areas that needed improvement, created content and roughly wireframed our pages. We then passed this to Roud who would design the page. There would be several rounds of revisions to polish the design, and then it would go into development by Roud also.

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

We worked with 2 of Roud's staff, a designer and a developer.

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Our key landing pages have improved immensely, they are now content rich, highly optimised, and visually engaging. While it is still early days, we are seeing a noticeable increase in customer engagement, with a higher volume of leads in the form of live chats and contact submissions, as well as checkout completions.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Roud integrated as if it were our own team members. The flow was highly optimised, while we wireframed and created content for one section of the site, Roud would design a page, and the developer would code another.

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

The web design quality speaks for itself, however I've been most impressed by their patience. I have a very high eye for detail and there was a lot of back and forth to ensure everything was perfect, as well as ad-hoc changes I would make as we designed the page. Roud stuck with it with the same level of tenacity from start to finish.

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

Not at all, very happy with the whole project and process. After a short break we will be continuing to work on additional areas of the website.

I primarily work with Alex (CEO & Art Director) who manages our projects.

We did a lot of research and sought a vendor that we could continue to call upon for product updates.

The partnership started around November 2020, and it’s ongoing.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the co-founder of an online alcohol services business. We sell & ship craft beer and cider in a "pic & mix" style.

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

As a new business, our website was in partnership with Shopify as they can provide the e-commerce infrastructure. However, Shopify did not offer a full solution to our specific needs when it came to webpage functionality.

How did you select Roud Studio and what were the deciding factors?

Needed developers who could build off the Shopify platform. Roud Studio was our deciding factor as they were keener to work with us than any other development company. They also had a great understanding of our requirements. Roud Studio was also cost-effective for us.

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

Alex and his team were very quick to get in touch and respond. To begin, we started off discussing the number of hours and how much the project will cost. Afterwards, we kicked off the work by having an online meeting discussing our vision of the "pic & mix" portion of the website.

We discussed what key functionality it needed and how it should look. From there, Roud Studio delivered a detailed mockup of the project, then began to implement the functionality after a few iterations and changes. They did a great job.

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

I believe the company owner/founder was our project manager and he was the main point of contact. We also had contact with one of the lead developers. They were very friendly, polite, understanding and had good English.

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

As of writing this review, we are close to launching the business so do not have anything yet.

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

Our primary methods of communication were email and zoom for video calls. We had a hand full of video calls primarily nearer to the start of the project so we could set the complications and foundations in place.

However, once the project was under load, the changes were made on the back-end so we could test and check the functionality. Changes were primarily made over-email. At the end, we had another zoom meeting so we could learn all about the backend and how to make changes ourselves.

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

The team was very engaging and responsive, and the work they created was very high-quality and effective. For such little time, the project took to create and for how accurate their work was, I feel as if I have built a very strong level of trust, and I will not hesitate to work with them again for future projects and updates.

Are there any areas for improvement?

We had to ask them to add a couple of basic features, such as a "back button". But this was a non-issue as the company was working within specific limitations due to the platform we had chosen. They did not charge us extra for little niggles which were great.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

We own a real estate company. I’m one of the members of the real estate team. 

What challenge were you trying to address with Roud Studio?

We were originally working with a website developer, but they did not meet our expectations after eight months of building. Our team decided to bring on another group to address the issues with the site.

What was the scope of their involvement?

First, we had an introductory meeting that involved them looking over my website. After that, we had another phone call to confirm the details, and they sent over a document detailing each of the changes they would make in the near future. From there, they took us step by step through the development process, explaining their process. I was always aware of what was happening on their end.

What is the team composition?

I worked directly with Alex (CEO & Art Director, Roud Studios). He delegated work to his team members. 

How did you come to work with Roud Studio?

I ran a Google search for the most interactive, visually pleasing sites and looked at who developed them. Their work was very impressive online, so I reached out. They seemed up for the job, so I hired them.

How much have you invested with them?

I’ve spent between $3,000–$5,000 on their services.

What is the status of this engagement?

We collaborated on the project from December 2019–January 2020.

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

The completed site is bug-free and looks great. We recieve compliments and positive feedback on its overall appearance. It looks exactly like I wanted. It looks and feels much better than the previous iteration.  

How did Roud Studio perform from a project management standpoint?

They addressed everything in a very fast-paced, professional manner. Whenever I had questions, they were addressed within minutes over email. They were very quick, and the entire process only took about three weeks. 

In the beginning stages of the project, we spoke several times each day. Once the development started up, they would show me their progress every once and a while to keep everyone on the same page. Their project management skills are really what drove me to leave this positive review.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their professionalism and responsiveness really made a difference. Within the first two days, we had a general site layout figured out. That was way faster than expected. If I wanted changes, they’d be made within the hour.  

Are there any areas they could improve?

I can’t think of anything.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Trust them because they’re professional and cost-effective. I’m very pleased overall.
