I am the co-founder of a design studio which have been in business since 2017

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

The major challenge is to get a good, responsive Webdesign done. Being a design studio we always wanted to make the best websites that are pixel perfect. None of my agencies could provide that until Teko came as a savior to us. The major domain that we work on are financial services, recruitment, eCommerce, Accounting, and Web Portals

How did you select Teko and what were the deciding factors?

Teko consolidated our problems, understood each of them. They successfully made the first pilot project of Webdesign which was exactly how we designed it.  They also took this as an opportunity to improve the site’s efficiency by doing some tweaks that we never asked for. This kind of thing led us to a long term partnership.

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

Once we complete the design, we start with the development for our client. That's when TEKO takes it over to deliver the web development. Each project is unique and TEKO comes up with a different project approach to build it depending on the requirement. The key deliverables are WordPress, web flow sites

TEKO met every goal and delivered according to our timeline. Their team built the website keeping in mind all our client requirements. It blows my mind to know that the problem we were facing for so many years on the development side is now solved by this amazing team. Each deliverable was delivered on time which we passed it on to the clients. Overall my clients were really happy with the websites that Nathan and his team built as it significantly increased their revenue.

We have scheduled weekly meetings with the TEKO team, we communicated via phone, skype, and email. They used project tracking systems like JIRA and Asana that outlined the deliverables and timelines. We went over any changes during our weekly meetings.

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

TEKO knows their stuff and their web designers/ developers are incredibly creative as well as smart. Once the project is started we had minimum involvement in the projects as they are on top of everything and take care of it as their website. Transparency is the key for an organization like TEKO.

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

I am very happy with their work and I have no complains. I wouldn't have found any better partner than them.
