The Scriptics team took over a custom built database and a custom data matching/cleansing platform that, at the time, were unusable. With their assistance we are now bug free, have multiple APIs connected and are well on our way to efficient full data centralization.

This was a key step toward our goal of making data driven decisions that allow us to better serve our communities of top executives. We continue to work with them, and think of them, as an extension of our team.

The Scriptics team is very responsive, regardless of the time of day. We primarily communicate and prioritze project tasks via Trello. They've done an excellent job managing projects and my expectations. I've relied on them to help me think through best solutions and implementation.

If the core project team doesn't have the needed skill set for a particular task, they'll pull in another Scriptics team member to get it done. It's an incredible advantage to have access to such a diverse set of experts.

The scope of work for our project with Scriptics encompassed the development of a web application aimed at revolutionizing the reader experience and finding innovative ways to enhance the market value of our news outlet within the digital world. Key Deliverables:

This included optimizing page load performance, implementing proper meta tags, and enhancing the overall website structure for improved visibility and discoverability. 
• A/B Testing Integration: Scriptics integrated A/B testing functionality into the web application, enabling us to perform experiments and compare different versions of our content, design, and features. This allowed us to make data-backed decisions and improve user engagement and conversions. 
• Additional Features and Functionalities: Scriptics worked on numerous other features and functionalities, tailored to our specific needs and goals. These included but were not limited to newsletter signups & sever-side loaded pages with alternative focus, then the logged in users single-page application expirecs. 

The project's primary goal was to find the future of news pages within the digital world. Scriptics played a pivotal role in helping us achieve this goal by delivering a web application that combined cutting-edge technologies, seamless integrations, and user-centric features. Their expertise, collaboration, and commitment to innovation were evident throughout the project.

Throughout the project with Scriptics, we were able to achieve several measurable outcomes that demonstrated significant progress and success. For Example:

This optimization positively impacted crucial performance metrics, such as page load speed, accessibility, and user experience. 
• First-Party Data Insights: One of the project's major achievements was the acquisition of first-party data about our readers and their interests. By implementing the user registration and login system, we gathered valuable insights into user behavior, preferences, and engagement patterns. This data became a powerful asset in tailoring our content, personalizing user experiences, and delivering targeted offerings. 

These measurable outcomes highlight our progress and success in terms of search engine visibility, website performance, and the acquisition of valuable first-party data. By collaborating with Scriptics, we witnessed substantial improvements that directly contributed to the growth and evolution of our news outlet in the digital landscape.

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

Scriptics employed an effective project management approach using Scrum within a Kanban board project management tool. This methodology proved to be highly beneficial and facilitated smooth collaboration throughout the project. With Scrum, the project was divided into manageable sprints, allowing for focused development and iterative progress. The Kanban board provided a visual representation of tasks, their statuses, and workflow, ensuring transparency and clear communication between the team members. 

When it came to addressing our needs, Scriptics was responsive and attentive. They actively engaged in ongoing communication, providing prompt responses to our queries and concerns. They were receptive to feedback and suggestions, incorporating them into the development process when appropriate. This collaborative approach allowed for effective collaboration and alignment between our expectations and the deliverables. Throughout the project, Scriptics displayed high professionalism and responsiveness, ensuring that our needs were met and any challenges were promptly addressed. Their project management methodology, combining Scrum and the Kanban board, fostered transparency, efficiency, and effective coordination.

What was your primary form of communication with Scriptics Decisions?

Their team demonstrates a deep understanding of various technologies, frameworks, and tools, allowing them to tackle complex challenges easily. Their proficiency in these areas enables them to deliver high-quality results and innovative solutions that exceed client expectations.

These qualities contribute to their ability to deliver outstanding solutions, adapt to evolving needs, and establish strong client partnerships.

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

One area for improvement or something Scriptics could have done differently is proactively advocating for their hosting services sooner. While your initial hosting provider was adequate, the switch to Scriptics hosting significantly improved the overall performance and smoothness of the web application. So I would have preferred it if Scriptics had emphasized the benefits of their hosting solution earlier. But I also liked, that they didn't try to sell us something we did not initalie need, but once we went into some issues (mainly reliabilit with the old server), where there to provide a solution.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Scriptics Decisions?

We wanted to create a new website for our company, able to showcase the talent of our service and working as a matching engine and booking system.

What were your goals for this project?

We are the first company in this field aiming at creating a digital platform of this kind, so we were really hoping to get the best possible help.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We heard amazing feedback from other companies who used Scriptics and since the first few meetings with Vali, he seemed to perfectly understand our needs.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

They built our new website, pages including a homepage with different services to purchase, a few pages with overview of our sitters, a blog, a shop, and most of all a search function filtering our sitters through location, availability, skills and language for our clients to search them. Clients can also message sitters there. Sessions are online and in person and coupons for group bookings are available for both.

What was the team composition?

Vali assigned a few members of his team different tasks. We held regular calls with him and especially Andrei and Liviu.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Their website helped us get found more online and we have increased our clients significantly since then!

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

Great project management from Vali, they were really responsive if there was a problem and accommodating with our requests.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

The responsiveness of staff and care of Vali's, who is a great leader and aims at always bring the customer first. They have been very clear explaining IT terms that my co-founder and I are not very familiar with, and this has been really helpful in terms of change of ideas or problems.

Are there any areas for improvement?

I can't think of anything that could be improved, we are definitely working with this company again!

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

Launched in 2020, Opera Zero is a natural, artisanal beauty range conceived in London and founded in Bologna in a small-scale atelier.

Produced in small batches, it is inspired by the diversity of the Italian territory, from the mountains to the coastline. Each product is formulated using a blend of active ingredients, botanicals, and herbal extracts, that are ethically and sustainably sourced from Italy’s ecosystems.

The end result is a high-performance range with balanced formulations, offering a mindful and delicate treatment of the skin and a metaphorical path for the senses – catering to both skincare and wellbeing. I work in marketing and communication development.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Scriptics Decisions?

We hired them for web development, but also trusted them to assist us and advise us with web-related strategy decisions. We had already started working on the website with another web developer, but this fell through. Scriptics took our project on board when it was in pretty bad shape and managed to turn it around brilliantly.

What were your goals for this project?

We needed a visually beautiful and user-friendly bilingual e-commerce website (Italian/English) for our newly launched natural beauty brand. We chose to work on Shopify.

It was extremely important for us to have a website in line with our brand identity that is visually impactful as we are establishing ourselves on the competitive beauty market. We also needed a website that is easy to use as we are an e-commerce entity.

We think that this website will have a very beneficial impact on our business. Scriptics handled very professionally the language-translation implementation despite a flaw in the original coding by the previous agency.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

I had worked with them on another project, during which they greatly delivered, so I knew we could trust them with this launch. We also needed someone who understood and supported the project also on a personal level and who was in line with our values, and Scriptics proved to be understanding, supportive, and enthusiastic beyond our expectations.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

We contacted them with not even a half-made website and asked them to take over - we had the original theme and frame but they had to implement the rest with our notes and feedback. We provided a list of key concerns and our ideal timeframe.

They were very patient with us, as it took us a long time to put together our content and visuals due to the complexity of the project and the COVID situation. They helped us immensely in managing the project at the time of the pandemic. They consulted us by providing guidance.

What was the team composition?

On our side, we worked as a 2 people team and on their side as 3 people.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Not yet as we are not yet actively trading, but we unveiled the website to glowing reviews and had extremely positive feedback so far! We will find out more in the near future, but we are extremely happy with the results.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

They were very flexible and adapted to our framework, but also suggested how we could improve it. Project-management was effective on their side, they were super attentive to our needs and effective and fast with problem-solving. Deadlines were met - if anything, they were happy to push us with our deadlines too and advise us on web strategy.

They were very detail-oriented in managing the project; clear about the deliveries and output; and communicative and proactive in arranging calls. They were always responsive. We communicated largely on Google Hangouts and via email.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

When they discovered an issue with the multilanguage set-up they took on a lot of extra work and extra effort to try and solve the situation proactively, without even us knowing. We were not aware of the situation and they immediately provided us with solutions.

We were very touched by their understanding and patience all throughout the project as new unexpected developments continued to occur during the height of Coronavirus crisis. They always had a positive, encouraging, and supportive stance.

Are there any areas for improvement?

No, we were happy with everything!

Scriptics was provided functional specs along with overall UI design and user flow. They stood up a development site, programed all functionality, created custom submission form and stood up a directory for all submitted graphic assets.

What was the team composition?

Scriptics had at least 3 individuals working on the project, along with a project manager to communicate progress and ask for any clarification where need be. Very friendly, English speaking front end, back end, and data experts.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

I have received nothing but positive feedback from clients, and have found the tool to be very helpful in reducing multiple proof iterations going back and forth before final product purchase.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

Their project management was very effective. We had a scheduled weekly stand ups, along with ad hoc meetings when needed.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

• Clear and precise communication
• Expertise across front, back and data development

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

For us, scriptics is like our own development team, so the collaboration has a very strong impact on our company.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

We divided the project into monthly task packages and listed the tasks in a Kanban Board. There they were pushed into the respective process phase by the development team (To do, in progress, feedback, done)

What did you find most impressive about this company?

No matter what time, I always had the feeling I'd get the best support. Also, the developers are very experienced, which strengthened that feeling. 

Are there any areas for improvement?

If one or the other task could not be completed in a month, the feedback could come earlier.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

My company consists of several web based properties (websites) that get various amounts of traffic and require a variety of different areas of support: design, integrations, hosting, ....

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Scriptics Decisions?

Scriptics was originally hired to recover my main website after it was hacked. Later, I extended their service to provide webdesign, then hosting, then ongoing IT support.

What were your goals for this project?

The project is still ongoing. The goal of this project is to launch and maintain a group of websites that generate monthly income. The websites need to be visually appealing, handle large volumes of traffic and be kept up to date with changing technologies and industry trends including mobile.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

This vendor was recommended from Upwork, when it was originally called Elance.com

Describe the project in detail.

The initial project consisted of Scriptics performing a recovery on my main website after it was hacked. After they recovered all of my data, they put security measures in place as well as a system for backing up the data frequently. Then they moved on to offering this same support for all the websites under ownership. A few months later, Scriptics then migrated all of my websites to their servers, where they maintain hosting and content delivery.

What was the team composition?

I interfaced with a Project Manager who also happens to be one of the founding partners.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

In the 5 years that I have been working with the Scriptics team, I have experienced less downtime then working 1 week with both GoDaddy and Hostmonster. I literally might have had no downtime in the last 2 years.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The workflow is extremely effective. As Scriptics has grown through the years, the communication has remained excellent. If I have an inquiry at any time of the day, they get back to me within minutes. Although they are located in another time zone, they work hours that mimic those of their customers so they are available when you need them most. The team is also very knowledgeable therefore communication is easy as they are well versed in anything that I want to accomplish with them.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

The customer support of the Scriptics team is amazing. The response time to any inquiry I might have is in minutes. They are also very good at what they do, therefore when they quote timing for a project they are spot on, if they don't deliver early. Every communication is pleasant and the Scriptics team loves to over deliver. It's evident that they pride themselves in customer satisfaction and you can feel that in email exchanges, instant messages and the quality of their work. I have recommended the Scriptics team to personal friends and their experiences have been just as great.

Are there any areas for improvement?

There are no areas of improvement from my perspective; this is a top notch organization.
