Their professionalism honestly went above and beyond what I originally expected. It's like having another entire frontend engineering department that's amazing at what they do. Having a PM like Axel, who is honestly soooo beyond competent, it's not even funny, makes the whole process of working with the Sher Agency a breeze! I'd give them 100 stars if I could.

For what projects/services did your company hire The Sher Agency, and what were your goals?

Our website was homegrown and several years old. The style was very corporate, and we were looking to redesign to better align with our values. The Sher Agency was brought in to help us better-articulate our focus on DEI, work-life balance, and social impact.

SOLUTION

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

We searched online and shortlisted a handful of vendors. Ultimately, their approach, pricing model, and past performance convinced us that they were the right partner.

The Sher Agency has a standard process of design and development with multiple iterations and checkpoints. They build a very intuitive, customized WordPress website that will be easy for us to maintain internally.

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

We worked with the owner, a project manager/designer, developers, and support staff.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We just launched this month, so we have not yet seen the measurable outcomes regarding our site performacne; however, we were very pleased with the process and the responsiveness of the design and build. The team very clearly articulated the next steps and delivered accordingly.

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

The process was really well-developed, so communication was mostly able to be performed asynchronously via email.

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

The personalities were the highlight of the process. We really enjoyed working with each of the team members from Sher.

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

The main improvements could have been achieved from our side. Like most small, fast-growing businesses, we deprioritized this project against some of our client work. My advice to future clients of Sher is to dedicate project team members and invest the time early in the process to develop the content. This will help keep things on track and maximize the value you get from Sher and their team members.
