Veza Digital

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

We are a company that offers educational products geared toward Virtual Production. I am the Director of Operations and Business Development.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Veza Digital?

We hired Veza for Web Design and web development. We needed a more robust website for our company.

SOLUTION

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

I researched several vendors through google and clutch. Veza was already a top selection based on their website. I liked their portfolios and the clarity of their product offerings.

Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.

After several discovery calls, Veza sent us a statement of work that defined the project deliverables and timelines. After the project launched and we sent our assets along with creative expectations, they ran with the project and sent us weekly progress reports.

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

I worked directly with three people. Director of Partnership, Creative Director, and Coordinator.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Project in progress.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The Veza team is very collaborative and supportive. We ran through some technical issues when we launched our new landing page, and they were tremendous in helping us push our website live.

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

They have a great design sense and they're easy to collaborate with. They take feedback very well and they respectfully reach out to us when they need something. They are very professional, and I truly respect that.

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

Weekly reports - more clarity or details would be great. Feel free to give your clients due dates on notes or required assets and let us know what the dependencies are.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the VP of marketing at Webconnex, a software company based in Sacramento, California. We make event, ticketing, and fundraising software.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Veza Digital?

We needed some new websites. Our previous sites were good, but they lacked depth, optimization, and credibility. For SEO, some things were missing. We had a few pain points and needed to upgrade; it was the right time to push forward towards something new with a lot more power behind it. We needed an agency to help us address some challenges in this new growth phase.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Veza Digital provides us with web development. They’ve built a website for one of our products from scratch using Webflow, Figma, and InVision. We had some specifications from a branding standpoint, and we provided them with a branding style guide. Our previous websites served as a foundation from a copy standpoint. Additionally, we looked at a few other websites and pulled a few samples that we gave Veza Digital. 

As a part of the new website, they helped us with images and animations. Adding to that, they built SEO work into the site. Currently, we’re in the maintenance stage, and Veza Digital is working on web optimization, including Google Analytics and A/B testing of landing pages, buttons, and site performance. We have plans for them to build three other websites.

What is the team composition?

We worked with Stefan (Founder & CEO) to start, and then he passed us over to the team. Jamal (Director of Partnerships) is our project manager and lead, and we’ve worked with designers. In total, we’ve worked with 5–6 people from Veza digital throughout the process. 

How did you come to work with Veza Digital?

My colleague found them through an organic search. We were looking for someone to drive us forward from an SEO standpoint. Veza Digital was really strong there, and they'd helped many other companies.

How much have you invested with them?

So far, we’ve spent about $50,000. 

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in January 2022, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The main metric is that the new website is live — Veza Digital got the project over the finish line. Now, we’re in the process of optimization and maintenance, which will take some time to figure out. 

How did Veza Digital perform from a project management standpoint?

We’ve been really impressed with their team through the whole process, ever since the initial conversations. Like with all big projects, there have been things we’ve had to update and change, coming back to the drawing board. Veza Digital has been attentive, skillful, and on top of things. Jamal is talented at managing his team, keeping us updated, and translating our needs. We’ve felt taken care of the whole way, and I would surely recommend Veza Digital to others if they want a world-class web-building experience. 

In terms of communication, we have Slack, and we use Google Docs and Google Sheets to lay things out. Figma has played a big role in collaboration as well. Although they use other tools, we don't see them. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

Veza Digital’s relation-building elements distinguish them from other providers. They deliver on a human level, making an experience like this really positive. While you can always find a place to get a good website, we’ve built authentic and genuine friendships with Veza Digital’s team — that’s what makes them stand out.

As professionals and as people, we’ve been really impressed with who they are and how they operate. As we’ve moved into the project, working with Veza Digital has been a tremendous experience from personal and business standpoints. They understand who we are and what we want to accomplish. We see them as team members now; we were looking for a long-term partner to create many websites and provide ongoing maintenance, and we found that with Veza Digital. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

They could have had a little more care and attention when we first started. There was a slight miscommunication during our first review meeting, and they missed the mark on some things that we wanted. This stumble out the gate was due to a lack of clarity. However, Veza Digital rectified the issue and by the next meeting, we were dynamite and ready to rock thereon. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Veza Digital is 100% worth the investment! They will bend over backward to ensure that you get exactly what you need. They’ll build great relationships and be more than just an agency creating a product; you’ll add members to your team, which feels really good. 

My advice is to stop trying to get some cut-price deal somewhere else and sacrifice things when it’s well worth the investment to do this right the first time. That’s what Veza Digital offers, and it’s why we’ll continue to work with them.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the product manager for an end-to-end tire solution software.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

Our website was created many years ago and was out-dated. So we needed to redesign and incorporate new content and wording for our solutions and newer products that were not on the older website.

SOLUTION

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

I searched online for a few web development agencies and had a shortlist and final interviews and ultimately made a selection.

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

We had a kick off meeting to discuss the deliverables both for projects design and the architecture of the website. We made a move away from Wordpress and adopted the new web development client Webflow. The key deliverables were a refreshed design and to structure some of the original content of our older website that needed to be transferred over to the new website, along with new content that we had procured based on internal meetings.

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

Project manager was our main point of contact, we also had meetings with a designer and a few web developers during the course of the project.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We are finished with the project now, but we are not launched yet as we still have to make adjustments to the copy and schedule a launch date that required approvals.

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

We had a weekly update and a number of meetings to review bigger milestones. We used Slack and Email to ensure we are communicating efficiently.

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

They use Webflow for web development and encouraged us to leave Wordpress for Webflow. They trained us on how to use Webflow and were always available to answer our questions for navigating how to use the new web client

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

They could improve on using more original designs as some of the design content were taken from stock websites.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m an executive at an internet publishing company; we do three-dimensional audio in real-world spaces.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Veza Digital?

We needed help creating a website for our business.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Veza Digital redesigned and redeveloped our website from an existing Webflow platform. We did most of the design internally using Figma and provided those files to Veza Digital so they could build the UI starting from there. In addition to that, they also did animations and converted our mockups into a responsive web- and mobile-friendly design.

Currently, we’re about to start with maintenance and SEO.

What is the team composition?

We’ve worked with seven members of their team, including developers, account managers, and technicians.

How did you come to work with Veza Digital?

We found them through the Webflow website.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Their responsiveness and quick turnaround times have been key to the engagement’s success — I’d hand designs to them, and they’d get them developed within a couple of days. Additionally, we’ve received good and positive feedback from the website users. Overall, we’re 100% with their work on meeting our expectations.

How did Veza Digital perform from a project management standpoint?

Project management has been excellent; they’ve delivered everything on schedule and within budget. In terms of communication, we use Slack, Zoom, Google Meets, and emails.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their ability to turn Figma designs into Webflow products is outstanding — their experience in their area is their strength.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I recommend people to work with them because they do a great job.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the lead engineer at Assignments.ca, a Canada-based pre-construction and assignment contracts sales company. We’re the first to launch a marketplace that connects people buying and selling such contracts. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Veza Digital?

Currently, assignments are traded through word of mouth, eBay, and Craigslist. We wanted a centralized marketplace where folks could safely buy and sell pre-construction and assignment contracts. 

Although I could handle the development myself, we had a tight timeline to get to market. With that, we needed development support for this project.

Additionally, we needed support in social media marketing and SEO. We were looking for someone to set up our Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, and Twitter accounts. We also wanted a partner that could help us design our website.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Veza Digital provided us with frontend development for our prototype, and they also helped us build some of the required custom plugins. They used WordPress, PHP, HTML, and CSS throughout the process. 

They also helped us structure the site’s information architecture, working on our site map and Google index. They set up our on- and off-page SEO and designed our platform’s UI/UX. Their team developed our online strategy and figured out the keywords and descriptions for each of our site’s pages. They also helped us set up email marketing templates. 

In addition, Veza Digital assisted us in gathering the information that we needed for our site, including pre-construction locations, prices, details, and amenities. They collected the data from various sources and helped me build scripts to scrape data about the builders and properties.

What is the team composition?

Stefan (CEO) was our primary contact, and we also worked with Jamal (Director of Partnerships), Julian (Chief Delivery Officer), and a designer. 

How did you come to work with Veza Digital?

I met Stefan through a networking event, which led to some small projects. 

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent about $20,000 CAD (approximately $16,000 USD).

What is the status of this engagement?

Our engagement lasted from December 2020–April 2021. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

After launch, we’ve seen fast growth with our platform, gaining close to 2,000 users and 150–200 leads per month.

How did Veza Digital perform from a project management standpoint?

Veza Digital was outstanding at project management. We had 2–3 meetings per week to keep us on track and updated. They were responsive to our questions and accommodating to our schedule, even though they were located in different time zones. 

They were agile, and everything was delivered on time. We communicated through Slack, Google Meet, phone calls, and face-to-face meetings.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Veza Digital’s project management skills and technical leadership were impressive. When I felt something needed improvement, I would tell them. They would react right away and give me what I needed.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I can’t think of anything. I didn’t have any high-level issues with their work. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Know your goals and requirements before working with them to avoid scope creep.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the Director of Content Marketing and editor/admin for our website.

We hired Veza Digital to help migrate our website from Wordpress to Webflow as well as help maintain our web development going forward.

SOLUTION

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

We did some research and narrowed our list down to a handful of vendors. We chose Veza based on their response time, amount of resources, quality of work we could see, cost, timeline, and 24/7 support.

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

We had a kick-off call to set the scope, process, and timeline for our project. We handed over access to Wordpress and our audit, and Veza proceeded to get to work, giving us weekly email updates + having a weekly recurring meeting to check in.

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

In our initial kickoff, we met with the founder and CEO, along with their Director of Partnerships and Client Experience, and CDO/co-founder. Their Director of Partnerships, Jamal, is our main POC and we continue to work with them, their CDO, and their main dev team member.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We are yet to launch our website in Webflow, but I've been impressed at the speed at which Veza has been working to meet our deadline and I suspect the new site will perform well for us.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Veza Digital?

We needed help in website and software development.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Veza Digital created our website. We provided them with our preferred copy and content, since we were very specific about that. We also gave examples of website designs that we liked. 

From there, they proceeded to develop the website — they took our copy and content and organized everything into a logical flow. After that, they worked on the site’s domain hosting. Once the site was built, they onboarded our team on using the platform, and they also handled its launch. 

We wanted the site to contain the information we needed. We also made sure we could capture the email of our site’s visitors and metrics about the site’s performance. That way, we could understand how our target audience engages with the site. 

Additionally, Veza Digital developed a software solution for our team. First, we explained the tool’s functionalities and specifications. They then created the program and designed its UI/UX. Again, after finishing development, they trained us on using the tool.

They’ve already finished the bulk of the work, but they provide us with ongoing support. 

What is the team composition?

I’ve worked with their CEO, a designer, a web developer, and two other resources.

How did Veza Digital perform from a project management standpoint?

I’m impressed with Veza Digital’s outstanding project management. Communication has been excellent — they send us weekly updates and let us know what information they need from us. Whenever we request changes, they’re quick to do it. We collaborate through emails, phone calls, and Zoom.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I love their communication — it’s strong, making it easy to work with them. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

They should stick to the recommendations we send. There have been times when our copy has been paraphrased. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

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