Vevol Media

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of Responsible Brands, a modern consumer brands company.

What challenge were you trying to address with Vevol Media?

We needed help with customizing our multi-brand, e-commerce website.

What was the scope of their involvement?

We’ve purchased a template from a Shopify partner, and they’ve helped us fine-tune and customize it based on our specific needs.

What is the team composition?

I work with their lead developer and manager.

How did you come to work with Vevol Media?

The owners of the template we purchased recommended Vevol Media to us. We also decided to go with them based on their experience with Shopify websites.

How much have you invested in them?

We’ve spent around $2,500 USD.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them in May 2022, and our engagement is still ongoing.

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

There has been very good communication from the team, and they are true experts in their field of work. Overall, we’ve enjoyed working with them.

How did Vevol Media perform from a project management standpoint?

They’ve completed all of the deliverables within the given budget. Also, they are very flexible, and their lead developer is a rockstar. We mainly communicate through Google Meet.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We’re most impressed with their web customization skills.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They should add a few more resources to their team, which will allow them to expand their reach and further strengthen their Shopify knowledge.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Make sure to set the expectations, timelines, and costs clearly for any given project.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the founder and general manager of SAVIN'SKIN, a cosmetics retailer. We sell a specific niche of beauty products, including clean beauty products, high-end luxury skincare, makeup, and wellness products.

What challenge were you trying to address with Vevol Media?

Our business functions as an online store, and we launched a website two years ago. Our former platform was PrestaShop, and we had a lot of difficulties with the developers who created the website, which was not functional. 

After facing many issues, we changed to a new provider who collaborated with us for maintenance. This vendor did a complete audit on our site and told us the best way forward was to rebuild our site from scratch, so we brought on Vevol Media.

What was the scope of their involvement?

Vevol Media redeveloped our website from scratch using Shopify 2.0. I had previously chosen a theme, and we listed all our requirements and functionalities for the new site. From there, the team investigated whether the theme would agree with all the functionalities we needed. Once they approved the theme, they started building the site. 

We didn’t do a rebranding, so the new site is quite similar in shape and form to our previous site. Although Vevol Media collaborated with us on specific design elements, they focused on functionality and development. The team custom-created some elements for our new product pages.

One of our requirements was for the site to be in both Romanian and English. Now that they’ve finished the website, we'll move forward into a different collaboration with Vevol Media. 

They’ll assist us whenever we have a problem, be in charge of updates when needed, and provide recommendations to improve. Additionally, they’ll help us if we want to add or modify something regarding UX or if we need custom CSS.

What is the team composition?

We’ve worked with Alexia (Account Manager & E-Commerce Specialist), who acts as a project manager and handles communication between the developers and us. We had regular meetings with the development team, too, in order to check the progress of our project.

How did you come to work with Vevol Media?

We found Vevol Media on a Facebook community for Romanian Shopify partners, where companies list their services and interact with people, advising them on some issues. I met Dan (Account Manager) there, and we arranged an interview. We also did research and interviewed many other companies. 

Ultimately, Vevol Media stood out from the crowd because they seemed trustworthy and more engaged than others. Moreover, when I sent them our requirements, they came back with solutions and options. The team had researched what they could do before even signing the contract, which we also appreciated.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in November 2021, and the engagement is ongoing. The site Vevol Media built works, and it looks beautiful — it’s an improved, sleeker site.  Therefore, we expect to see constant growth from now on.

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

The site Vevol Media built works, and it looks beautiful — it’s an improved, sleeker site. Even though we haven't switched to the new platform yet, we’ve seen an increase in daily users due to the pages the team implemented on our existing site. We already see customers investigating the new pages, so we expect to see constant growth once the site goes live next week. 

How did Vevol Media perform from a project management standpoint?

Most of our communication was through Alexia, using email and Google Meet.  However, we’ve had regular meetings with all the developers because it’s easier to present all the information. Whenever I need a tutorial on how to do something, the team sends me a tutorial, which is really helpful because I can see the process and replicate it. 

Although it’s taken almost six months to develop the site, it wasn’t because of Vevol Media. We’ve had delays on our side in providing tools and content, while they’ve moved quite quickly. 

Having worked with other companies, I see a big difference in how Vevol Media communicates and interacts with us as customers. In my experience, they’re one of the few providers that manage to work with clients beautifully. The team is part of our process; they’re very involved, extremely cooperative, and understand our needs. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

For me, a web developer must understand our type of business and our needs and be empathetic, and Vevol Media does all this. They constantly reassure us that they can solve any issue. Having this communication with them makes us feel like partners. They aren’t just a contractor — they’re part of our team. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

Although everyone can improve, I can’t pinpoint anything; everything has been okay for us so far. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Good communication is one of the keys to a successful project. So, my advice is to give Vevol Media clear indications because this is where most problems can occur. As long as you list your needs, everything can go excellently.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the e-commerce and marketing manager at Stationery Superstore. 

What challenge were you trying to address with Vevol Media?

We needed a company to develop a custom map that could display our partners across Ireland. 

What was the scope of their involvement?

Vevol Media designed and developed our customer partner map. We had several calls to outline the development process, and Vevol Media’s team developed a project plan. Then, they designed several mock-ups and wireframes from which we chose the final design. Vevol Media also developed new branding guidelines, including a new color scheme, which went beyond our original scope of work.

What is the team composition?

I worked with Dan (Managing Partner & Head of Business Development), Bogdan (Managing Partner), and three other teammates. 

How did you come to work with Vevol Media?

We found Vevol Media through Google after searching for Irish development companies specializing in Shopify.

We invested €6,000 (approximately $6,700 USD) with Vevol Media. 

What is the status of this engagement?

Our partnership with Vevol Media was from December 2021–February 2022

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

It’s difficult to provide metrics because the map page has been left unattended. However, we’ve received a lot of positive feedback — the map works well and looks good. 

How did Vevol Media perform from a project management standpoint?

Vevol Media delivered within our timeline, and we primarily communicated through Google Meet and emails. Their team communicated regularly and was quick to respond to us. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

Vevol Media was really reliable and on the ball throughout our project. They created great wireframes from a complicated and incomplete concept. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

I have nothing for Vevol Media to improve. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I’d advise customers to trust Vevol Media — their team knows how to deliver what customers need. 

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the director of an online computer retailer. We sell laptops and desktop computers.

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

We hired Vevol Media to develop a Shopify webstore for our newly launched business. Being a 100% online retailer, we relied on Vevol Media to create a website that will have the functions and design necessary to offer our customers the ultimate shopping experience.

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

Vevol Media was recommended to us by another company who've benefited from their expertise and after having our first meeting and seeing their portfolio we knew they're the ones who could provide us with the website we required and the project fitted in our delivery time frame and budget.

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

We started by setting out the objectives of our business and the goals for our website. After that, we received several mock-ups of the site, we decided on one and the team designed our new Shopify based on that. Custom made contact forms and product pages were incorporated in the website to suit our business.

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

We've been in permanent contact with our project manager throughout the process. Also a web developer and a web content creator worked on our site.

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

When the website was finished, it obtained a 96 out of 100 SEO score for the desktop variant and a 70 score for the mobile version which is even more impressive given how compacted it is and still retaining all the functionalities. After launch, the store was in top 24% Shopify stores launched that same week in terms of traffic.

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

They sent us periodic updates on the progress being made, all our queries were answered extremely quickly and every new idea or modification we would throw at them was addressed immediately.

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

They had a unique way of incorporating our ideas of design and functions of the website but still retaining that speed at which the site will load and work.

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

We cannot think of anything that could have been done better. From start to finish our collaboration with Vevol Media was excellent.

What challenge were you trying to address with Vevol Media?

We reached a point where we needed to establish a face for our business. Our business was difficult to explain, so we hired them for their branding expertise. We also needed their help in developing our website.

What was the scope of their involvement?

After laying out what we needed, Vevol Media divided the workload into certain streams. First, they worked on our branding. They modernized our logo and repositioned our company in a way that was a lot easier for our target audience to understand.

Then, Vevol Media customized our website using WordPress. They created backlinks to direct people to our product demos, made online sign-up forms for our training programs, and added a blog section that allowed us to create content and share it on our social media platforms. They also integrated a payment gateway to ensure easier transactions.

When the website was completed, they applied more enhancements and taught us how to navigate through the platform.

What is the team composition?

We worked with two people from the Vevol Media team: the account manager and a technical resource.

How did you come to work with Vevol Media?

We interviewed several web design companies, but we chose to hire Vevol Media because they really understood what we needed and responded quickly. They were also open to using whatever technology we already had in place.

We spent no more than €5,000 (approximately $5,500 USD).

What did you find most impressive about them?

They approached the project with an open mindset, understood exactly what we wanted, and always provided great ideas.

Are there any areas they could improve on?

I don’t think there’s anything they need to improve on — I was quite happy with everything.

Make sure to let Vevol Media know your timelines, so that they can work on the project immediately and in the proper order.

For SEO, they provided us with examples of keywords that we could use to extend our deliveries nationwide. We’re now working on optimizing the website and promoting my two physical shops for local deliveries.

Our website is now among the top 5% of popular marketplace sites. I am very happy with Vevol Media, and I don’t intend to change providers. They know what they are doing, and it is very easy to communicate with them. The fact that they’re also Romanian is a big help as well.

How did Vevol Media perform from a project management standpoint?

They’re able to meet all of the deadlines and stay within my budget. Sometimes, they even finish earlier than planned. 

We communicate via email, and the marketing person sends me monthly reports detailing the impact of our advertising. They also update me weekly on the progress of the website and of the new project that we are working on. They are very responsive.

Additionally, they connected the website to Google, Facebook, and Twitter.

What is the team composition?

We had five and a half people from Vevol Media during the project, including a project manager.

The whole project cost us around €4,000 (approximately $4,600 USD).

The first discussion on this project was in June 2021, and they completed the landing page in August. The e-commerce website was done in September 2021 and they’re currently handling the site’s maintenance.

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

We’ve just launched campaigns on Google and Facebook, and we’re just starting to see how it’s working. We won’t know the site’s effectiveness until we receive more orders and so far, we’ve gotten around 20–30.

Furthermore, we’re getting very good impressions on the landing page and the e-commerce site — it’s one of the best-looking websites in our market.

How did Vevol Media perform from a project management standpoint?

They’re doing well, and they even went above the budget specified in the contract. We’re mainly using WhatsApp, Google Meet, and email to communicate.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We’re impressed with Vevol’s involvement in the project. They were willing to do a project that was new and not very easy for them. They learned about the industry and delivered their tasks in a short time — which was important for me. I like that they provided us with a cost-effective solution as well.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I don’t know what they could improve on. The communication was good and they didn’t overcharge me.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

Vevol Media is a fully trusted company, and they’re very dedicated. My advice is to explain what your goals are from the beginning, so they can adapt to your needs as a customer. It’s also important to be specific about what you want.
