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

Our main point of contact was the owner Jasmin Kotadia who did a fantastic job throughout the entire project in responding to our needs!

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

The website forms the anchor of our communication activities and the eCommerce store is currently the exclusive sales channel, hence both are of utmost importance. Since we just recently launched we don't have any measurable data yet but are extremely satisfied with the outcome based on the initial feedback we received.

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

Throughout the project we used a weekly "status call" (via video web-conference) as the main tool to ensure effective communication and progress. If needed, separate calls were scheduled and Jasmin always made himself readily available.

Other communication tools included eMails, phone calls, WhatsApp messaging and shared docs. Overall, it was a very pleasant project experience from an organizational perspective.

TechnoCrackers were very responsive, met their deadlines and reacted to new circumstances when necessary.

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

It has been a fantastic experience working with TechnoCrackers and Jasmin in particular. I have and will continue to highly recommend them for anyone who intends to build a website and/or eCommerce store.

In particular, I was impressed by: . their responsiveness . their coding and design prowess to bring the vision to life almost exactly as I had specked it in the original brief . their customer service orientation and genuine desire to make the customer happy .

their willingness to overcome challenges; when a solution wasn't immediately apparent they conducted research and always came back with a solution

Are there any areas for improvement?

None that I can think of.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I run a Search Engine Optimisation company based in Essex, UK. Although my skills are primarily based on moving websites up the SERPs, it is imperative to have in my arsenal methods to enhance the design and feel of how a website appears to a user. I was recommended to use Jasmin and his team at Technocrakers from a well known SEO consultant in the USA.

For what projects/services did your company hire TechnoCrackers?

I've used Technocrackers to build and design multiple websites for my clients, ranging from local gardening design to an international lawyer. In addition to website design and development, I've been utilising the technical knowledge that Technocrackers has to ensure existing websites are running as efficiently as possible when loading.

What were your goals for this project?

The main goal was to modernise the websites in question. As a secondary goal, I would look to ensure that each of the clients I service for SEO will have the fastest website loading times possible.

How did you select this vendor?

Recommendation.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

I'll give one example here which is the most relevant. Technocrackers redesigned and developed a property lawyer website, a client of mine. Their old website was rather dated and needed a modern feel and touch. It also wasn't optimised for loading speed. From an SEO perspective, I provided the URL structure and the basic layout of how the website needed to function.

Technocrackers went away and came up with three suitable designs, all of which were initially given to the Law firm for inspection. In several video calls with the Law firm and myself, we discussed the pros and cons of each design. Whittling it down to a preferred single design that would ooze the appeal they were seeking.

From this point, Technocrackers did what they needed to do...built the new website in Desktop version and then mobile responsive version. I was involved with some fine editing at the end of the development stage, but other than that Technocrackers were able to move the project forward amicably and on time.

What was the team composition?

I had a single contact at Technocackers - Jasmin. He and I would have discussions over video conferencing and emails to discuss the layout and the most suitable design. He would then relay the messages internally to his team.

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

I had ranked the Law firm for their desired targeted KWs at #1 the previous year and they were not getting as many leads as they should have with the older, dated design. Within the first 2 months of the new website being live, the law firm had received the same amount of leads that it had previously received in the previous 12 months.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

I oversaw the project in question, helped with the design and how the functionality of the website should work. Technocrackers put all the pieces together in the development. We conversed using Zoom and Skype to discuss issues and how best to solve them.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Their responsiveness and awareness of what the finished product needs to do set them apart.

Are there any areas for improvement?

Probably develop the website on a well-known theme that people with non-website development skills can update easily. Say if the Law firm wanted to add additional content to the website, they would have to come to me first for a demonstration.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm the director of an events community that features homes, a large events center, a restaurant, and a facility for outdoor activities such as hunting gatherings and skeet shooting.

What challenge were you trying to address with TechnoCrackers?

We initially engaged them to create the WordPress themes for the websites representing each of our entities. Our engagement eventually grew to include SEO and maintenance services.  

What was the scope of their involvement?

I relied on TechnoCrackers to create the WordPress layouts for each of our websites and write code using JSON and PHP. With the sites in place, TechnoCrackers then turned to coordinate SEO campaigns. We also have an agreement for scheduled maintenance on all of the sites every week or biweekly. That maintenance includes updating all of the plug-ins and themes, while also testing the website for any issues.

What is the team composition?

Jasmin (CEO, TechnoCrackers) has been my main point of contact, but he has an extensive team behind the scenes.

How did you come to work with TechnoCrackers?

I found them through an online search, and we discussed their capabilities. I reviewed their portfolio and hired them for a few side projects for a separate company of mine. They performed well with those tasks, so I decided to bring them on for more intensive work.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent between $50,000–$200,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

Our engagement began in 2015 and remains ongoing.

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

My role includes a lot of design work, content creation, and video editing. Without help from TechnoCrackers, I wouldn’t be able to complete a lot of the jobs I receive. If I didn’t have TechnoCrackers, I’d have to find somebody else to do this work. In my 25 years of doing this kind of work, I have not yet found somebody better than TechnoCrackers.

How did TechnoCrackers perform from a project management standpoint?

They’ve been flawless so far. We operate well through Asana, and they are quick to complete all of the work I assign to them. Everything I’ve asked them to do in the last four years has gone off without a hitch.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I appreciate their willingness to do whatever I have asked, and they have never shied away from a deadline.

Are there any areas they could improve?

It was a challenge to communicate at the start because we had little understanding of each other’s languages, but that’s improved over time.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

They’re going to ask a lot of questions, so it’s best to be as prepared as possible. TechnoCrackers will need a lot of data and other things from you, so clients have to be ready for that.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I’m the VP of sales and marketing for Brink, a full-service digital marketing agency.

For what projects/services did your company hire TechnoCrackers?

Our website didn’t reflect our company’s message and was very traditional. Sometimes, our site would crash for days at a time, and we had issues with our hosting provider. We hired TechnoCrackers to update the platform and make it more user-friendly.

What were your goals for this project?

We wanted a modern, up-to-standard website that is appealing to potential clients within our target audience.

How did you select this vendor?

We considered 2–3 companies, but TechnoCrackers offered the most competent, flexible team. Unlike the other vendors, their team worked with our budget, scope, and deadlines. They also had the expertise we required.

Describe the project in detail.

TechnoCrackers built a few WordPress websites for us. They also provided graphic design services and created our logo and banners. Their team also hosts the platforms.

What was the team composition?

Jasmin (CEO, TechnoCrackers) led our project. They also provided developers for the front- and backend, scaling to two from one to hit our deadlines.

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

We’ve seen a significant increase in traffic on the new websites. Our bounce-rate has also decreased from 45% to 12%.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Their team did a great job managing the work. They sent us daily updates, and we had weekly calls to check in on the project’s status. Our communication was smooth and primarily through Skype and phone calls.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Their transparency and flexibility were immensely helpful throughout the project. When we needed to scale and add more teammates, they were willing to support us. They did a great job.

Are there any areas for improvement?

We were 100% satisfied with their team.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the business development director at an animation design company where we work with animations, forms, websites, photos, videos, and mobile applications. We also work with VR and other digital elements.

What challenge were you trying to address with TechnoCrackers?

We needed a company to subcontract out our development work.

What was the scope of their involvement?

We work with TechnoCrackers on a project-to-project basis. I pass on the client information, and their team tackles the development work. They do websites, portals, and mobile apps, working on the design, development, and implementation. Sometimes the server is brought by the client, or we offload the server maintenance to them as well. We’ve done 20-25 project so far in the real estate, private lands, and industrial fields. TechnoCrackers also developed and managed our company sites.

What is the team composition?

I engage with a project manager, project leader, and someone on the server side.

How did you come to work with TechnoCrackers?

I worked with TechnoCrackers with my previous company. Looking for a subcontractor based in India, I found and tested them with one project that had a two-week deadline. Their team managed the project, and we’ve been working with them ever since. They’ve been an excellent service to me.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent $70,000 so far.

What is the status of this engagement?

Our collaboration started in July 2014, and it is ongoing.

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

TechnoCrackers has delivered every project I’ve asked for. All of my clients have been pleased.

How did TechnoCrackers perform from a project management standpoint?

Their team meets our deadlines and understands our requirements. They have a systematic method of executing each project. We communicate with TechnoCrackers over the phone and WhatsApp. Our teams have a system where we send and share information and ideas.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their excellent team delivers projects on time.

Are there any areas they could improve?

If they increased their staff, we could push out more projects at one time.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I’m the owner of Siam Tek Web Design Group. We provide web-based services for our clients, including design, development, and digital marketing to increase their revenues.

For what projects/services did your company hire TechnoCrackers?

We needed TechnoCrackers to help support our maintenance packages, including designing new pages, updating content, and developing systems to optimize my clients’ websites.

What were your goals for this project?

We wanted the collaboration to result in success for our clients and their websites. Additionally, having the supplemental team would give me more room in my schedule.

How did you select this vendor?

After posting ads for the position on social media, I interviewed several contractors that responded. I wanted someone with a strong team of designers and developers with a high-quality portfolio.

Can you go into detail about the services they provided and the scope of the project?

They’ve helped me fulfill ongoing obligations with existing clients, including updating content, testing software, adding software functionalities, optimizing sites and conversions, and integrating new systems. They provide technical support for both our new and old clients.

What was the team composition?

The CEO is my point of contact, and they provide a small team of developers.

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

The TechnoCrackers team has been able to take on multiple projects at a time, and all of their work satisfies my clients. Additionally, their support has allowed me to allocate my time more evenly while keeping my customer’s fulfilled.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

We use Asana for each client. We implemented an agile style of management and prioritized work through weekly scrums, which we haven’t ended up needing so far. It is helpful to use Asana as we can see updates and client progress for each project. Their team took care of executing the tasks we planned, and the division of labor has been efficient for my small business.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

The TechnoCracker team has been professional and responsive, especially given the time differences. They’ve made it so I can handle several projects at once and divide my time effectively, which was my overall goal.

Are there any areas where they can improve?

To speed up communication, adding more detail to comments on Asana task cards could be beneficial. This could help establish context more efficiently.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

Our company is a full-stack web development company that builds e-commerce sites, web applications, and some mobile apps. Our company maintains long-term relationships with most of our clients, including six of the largest landscaping contractors in the US.

What challenge were you trying to address with TechnoCrackers?

One of our clients is a national manufacturer of landscape lighting equipment with about 50 locations across the country. They’d faced several challenges with their former web developers and lost access to their site and assets. Once we inherited the contract, we needed to quickly assess the situation and develop a new, large-scale website. TechoCrackers supported us with the build and created a custom mapping solution.

What was the scope of their involvement?

In addition to assisting with our client's WordPress site, TechnoCrackers developed a custom mapping solution using Google APIs. This function allows potential customers to see franchise locations on the map and interact with them. Based on the chosen location, the function automatically fills in information on site forms. On the e-commerce side, the location mapping code also helps our client decide how to sell and distribute products.

What is the team composition?

I work directly with Jasmin (CEO, TechnoCrackers) who is the development lead. He handles his people and projects on his side.

How did you come to work with TechnoCrackers?

I initially found them on Upwork. While I used to contract a lot of help, I’ve since exclusively worked with TechnoCrackers on most projects.

How much have you invested with them?

Over the course of the engagement, we’ve completed several projects with them. They give us about 10 hours per week on average, so we’ve spent about $15,000 last year. Prior to that, we’d spent $25,000–$30,000. We currently have another $10,000 in new projects.

What is the status of this engagement?

We’ve been working with them since 2013.

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

Jasmin’s team really stepped up on the mapping solution and site build, providing full-time support throughout. They worked well with my in-house developers, and, as a result, we were able to complete a four-month project in one. The client lauded the final product, and we ended up getting another big e-commerce site project thanks to their custom mapping feature.

We’re starting to use that solution for other projects, too. In fact, a number of people in the development world have asked us to share the code. We plan to commercially package the solution and market it together with their team.

How did TechnoCrackers perform from a project management standpoint?

What I like about Jasmin and his team is their organized approach. We have standing meetings every morning to go over projects and communicate via WhatsApp, Slack, and GitHub. Whenever we meet to discuss a task, Jasmin always reiterates the points to confirm exactly what we’re trying to accomplish.

Their scheduling is perfect from a project management perspective. Jasmin meticulously ensures that our progress matches the agreed timeline. If he commits to a certain number of hours to meet a deadline, he’ll measure his progress against that calendar. Typically, it’s not his fault when we miss time estimates; rather, it’s because something happened on our side or with the client.

What did you find most impressive about them?

TechnoCrackers has supported us with several client projects for the past five years. Their talented team is particularly adept with WordPress, Magento, and WooCommerce. Every project we’ve worked on together has been extremely successful.

Their team has several striking qualities. Not only do they always meet their deadlines, but they also understand the end user, which makes the collaboration work. Jasmin has an excellent sense of the North American and European markets, so their designs work well for our projects. We don’t need to translate any cultural differences.

Moreover, the technical quality of their work is on par with all of the vendors I’ve worked with so far. TechnoCrackers comes up with solutions that I haven’t even thought of. When we were competing for a new website project against other big-name developers, we won the contract because the client realized how talented TechnoCrackers’ team was after talking to them. They’re exceptionally good partners. I enjoy working with their team and can depend on them.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No. If anything, I’m worried that too many people will find out about TechnoCrackers, and I’ll get squeezed out. I'd rather keep them to myself, but they deserve the recognition.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

Offshore teams work in different time zones, so you need to plan your schedule to accommodate reviews time, production, and communication. Be clear about your expectations; if the team can’t articulate your points back to you correctly, you need to explain it again.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the owner of a group of brands dedicated to event production services. We have a brand for teenagers and another brand for corporate events. I'm in charge of everything related to the production of events.

For what projects/services did your company hire TechnoCrackers?

What were your goals for this project?

We wanted to create high-quality, visually impactful websites for our brands.

How did you select this vendor?

They were recommended to us by a friend. There were two other possible developers, but they had less experience and higher costs. We felt TechnoCrackers would be a results-driven partner who was committed to reliable customer support.

Can you go into detail about the services they provided and the scope of the project?

They turned our PSD designs for each website into code. They also developed some additional modules and configured the sites. It took them about two weeks to deliver functional versions for user testing and feedback. Their developer made suggestions for improvements during each sprint, which they implemented subsequently.

What was the team composition?

My partner and I worked with Jasmin (developer, TechnoCrackers).

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

They developed and launched our sites early, which was a major achievement. In fact, we signed an extended service level agreement (SLA) with them because of how well they performed. Also, we have more clients now because of our new websites.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

Their project management was impressive, especially compared to other developers. Their team regularly met deadlines and always communicated delays ahead of time. Any unexpected turnover never threatened to stop critical progress. Their communication was superb.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

They’re very knowledgeable about coding, which was critical so that technical details weren’t lost in translation. They also did a great job of keeping the lines of communication completely open.

Are there any areas where they can improve?

No, nothing. Everything was fine.
