The client submitted this review online.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

Software development company. I'm an Account Management lead

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire WEB4PRO?

WEB4PRO helped a lot with Magento projects. We don't have magento skills in our company and had to tap into WEB4PRO expertise. They preformed really well, showing not just technical knowledge but also valuable communication skills, which is so hard to get from developers. Responsible, dedicated and seemed always being on a line. Integrated well with our team.

What were your goals for this project?

We worked on several projects using Magento. The goal was to augment our team with Magento 2 developers and meet project objectives by delivering high quality code and heavy communication. We had 2 projects completed successfully, and continue working on new opportunities.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We contacted with CEO, Marat Mingazov and conducted a few interviews.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

They worked on solution design, developed it and tested. Helped with risk managements. Shared a lot of good suggestions for the product features and maintenance.

What was the team composition?

Several WEB4PRO Magento developers worked integrated to our internal team. Provided testing and more resources on demand. We've completed several projects, team sizes were 6 and 7 team members.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We've got a really good review from our customers for 1 project we did together with WEB4PRO and continue support on another project. We are happy to say that we managed to build trust with the customers and we have more opportunities for now. I would definitely recommend connecting with WEB4PRO for Magento needs.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

We augmented our team with WEB4PRO specialists. The project management was on our side, though Serge did really great job playing tech lead role and managing fully developers and handling all technical questions directly with our US-based clients.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

They are good partners and are willing to invest in our relationship. They are supporting agile development and have a high tolerance to ambiguity which was crucial for our company. Always ready to help, consult, brainstorm complex tasks and find the best solution counting project budgeting and time constraints.

Are there any areas for improvement?

I think they are already professionals. I think we can both improve our collaboration by syncing our processes.

Feedback summary: 

WEB4PRO delivers excellent products on a consistent basis. The team is communicative, reliable, and always explains their process in easy-to-understand terms. They are always committed to each project they lend their expertise to, which sets them apart from other development firms. 

A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I am a product manager at a digital agency in Paris.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with WEB4PRO?

We had an increase in our production and needed a team to help us achieve our client goals.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We’ve completed around 20 projects together. Typically, they integrate with our team to develop various Drupal and WordPress web applications.

One project was an e-commerce web shop developed on Drupal Commerce and available in different languages. There are different products available to purchase and each one has a different process. In a separate project, we worked on a corporate WordPress recruitment platform. Overall, our work together has been successful.

What is the team composition?

For the e-commerce project, we worked with three members of their team. We have a project manager on our side, who also manages their personnel. If needed, we can rely on one contact from their team.

How much have you invested in them?

We've spent $250,000–$500,000 cumulatively for our various projects. 

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked with them on the e-commerce project from November 2018–June 2019. Our work is ongoing with new projects.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Internally, we like that they are very flexible and adapt to our development and security process, as well as our communication processes.

They’re committed to our projects and are always by our side for major deadlines. If we have to deliver something, they will sometimes work over the weekend and late in the day in order for us to achieve major deadlines. Recently, we went through a security audit and only had minor returns. The quality of their work was reportedly great.

How did WEB4PRO perform from a project management standpoint?

We like that they take the time to explain their process. When we ask them to explain what they are doing, they are always available, and they teach well. We use Slack for communication, which is useful.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their dedication to our success is outstanding. Additionally, the team is always nice. Even in moments of high pressure, they're still kind and committed.

Are there any areas they could improve?

There were some minor punctuality issues on their end. However, we discussed the issue, and they’ve made the required changes.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

My advice is to explain the global context for your project. Don’t hesitate to set up tools for communication, as they help a lot.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I’m the director of delivery operations at DVELP. We build real-time communication solutions for heavily regulated industries.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire WEB4PRO?

We needed to hire an external resource to provide ongoing resources to support our own development teams.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

WEB4PRO supports multiple projects. They play an active part in our delivery team by adapting to our delivery processes and suggesting improvements.

What was the team composition?

We primarily work with one frontend developer.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Work is ongoing for these projects, and they’re an important source of recurring revenue.

eWave is an independent digital transformation agency that specializes in commerce and industry disruption.

As the head of consulting, I have overseen the agency’s expansion to a cross-continental commerce powerhouse with numerous business arms spanning all areas of digital business. Focused on delivering digital transformations for global brands, I analyze and offer industry-proven recommendations on all aspects of company processes to drive business goals.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire WEB4PRO?

We engaged WEB4PRO for remote Magento development services, specifically creating Magento extensions as part of our product development team. We were looking for solutions partners who could assist with the onboarding of skilled resources and provide the knowledge and expertise required.

What were your goals for this project?

With the complex task of growing our web development team 100% year over year, we wanted solid additional resources. That included people who could integrate into our culture, follow our processes, and blend seamlessly with our internal members. 

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We contacted WEB4PRO’s CEO directly via LinkedIn and established communications. We were seeking candidates who were not only experienced and officially certified in Magento 2 development, but also able to perform complex customizations and third-party integrations, work with Magento Commerce, and speak English fluently. The WEB4PRO software engineers met every requirement.

After conducting several interviews and selecting a few developers who seemed to fit best, we began working on a few internal and less urgent tasks to assess the cooperation. The partnership has contintued to strengthen over the years.

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

WEB4PRO augments us with developers who work on internal projects that specifically involve extension development for Magento Open Source and Commerce, including module architecture and third-party integrations. 

What was the team composition?

Several WEB4PRO developers have worked with us on an ongoing basis.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

WEB4PRO has been instrumental in helping us launch multiple projects that would have taken significantly longer had we not found such a strong partner.  

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

The project management is effective all around.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

WEB4PRO is a reliable B2B company that never forgets the importance of a long-term partnership. I am satisfied with our cooperation and know that we can rely on their willingness to help. We appreciate their flexibility and eagerness to find a common solution. 

Are there any areas where they can improve?

I wish they had an even larger team to accommodate all of our requests.

A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the head of X-payments at X-Cart. We develop e-commerce software and provide credit card processing and storing. We also offer a separate product called X-Cart Payments. That product acts as an intermediary between payment gateway APIs and certified application shopping carts like X-Cart, Magento, Zen Cart, OsCommerce, and many others.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with WEB4PRO?

We needed a development firm to create a software that connects X-Cart Payments with a Magento shopping cart.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

WEB4PRO developed a Magento 1 connector for us. It’s an extension that’s installed into Magento to implement PCI-compliant credit card processing. They worked on the whole connection procedure and implemented use cases like displaying credit card forms, PCI-compliant card storing, recurring charges, subscription products, and so on.

After development began, we needed to add new features and improve on what was initially designed. They built the first few versions of the connector as requested, but we realized that our initial idea needed to be developed further as we realized there are many more use cases needed by our users. The project expanded from a one-time task to a continuous engagement that included new version releases and updates.

What is the team composition?

We worked with a project manager and a PHP developer that specialized in Magento. There were a few more people involved in the project that were in charge of payouts and other tasks.

How did you come to work with WEB4PRO?

We found them on Upwork and their quote was realistic. We interviewed a few other companies that bid on the project but decided to hire WEB4PRO based on their expertise in communication, Magento development, and the quality of their portfolio. They were clearly better than their competition.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent $20,000–$25,000 across multiple payments.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked with them from 2016–2017.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Our X-Cart Payments product had zero Magento users before working with WEB4PRO. Thanks to their efforts, the product currently boasts a few thousand users.

How did WEB4PRO perform from a project management standpoint?

Our project manager proactively asked questions about our requirements and general satisfaction. We discussed different project ideas and they were always professional.

What did you find most impressive about them?

What I appreciated most is that they delivered the project and maintained it for a couple of years. Their pricing was affordable and the project created a new way for us to service customers. We can now cater to Magento users and Magento-based solutions. Those solutions are based on the same code, so we can reuse the connector made by WEB4PRO.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I have nothing to say in this regard. We had a positive experience with WEB4PRO.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

They’re a good company for clients on a tight budget. WEB4PRO can quickly develop products and support them after completion. That was our experience and I’m sure they’ll perform to that level for future clients.

A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm the owner of Main Merch, a company that sells pop culture merchandise, such as apparel and some novelties. We've been in business for 12 years. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with WEB4PRO?

It took us a long time to find a reliable company. We worked with 5–6 vendors before and were not satisfied. We were a small business and had an old website, so our in-house graphic designer designed a new website for us. We were looking for company that could take the design and build a website for us.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

One big project they did for us was combining three sites into one super site, enabling people to shop across all of them. I spoke with other companies, but they were not able to offer a good solution and gave us higher quotes. WEB4PRO did a great job with that, so we've been using them for other projects since then.

They worked on six websites for us. We usually give them designs and they develop the code. After that, they provide support, making changes if we request them (for example, when Amazon introduces updates or if we need to add reports).

We're currently working with them on optimizing our server and making our mobile sites more user friendly. We're also starting a revision of the frontend for the desktop.

What is the team composition?

We have one primary point of contact, who has a team underneath him. We also often speak with their owner.

How did you come to work with them?

I contacted about 10 people and WEB4PRO was the first company to respond. Their quick response was important to me because web business is a fast-paced business. They were responding to all my questions within an hour, while it took others a day to get back to me. Also, they offered us a good rate and had positive reviews from other people they'd worked for, so we gave them a chance.

How much have you invested with them?

We've spent about $200,000 with them so far.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them in 2008 and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The quality is very good, but when I do user testing I occasionally notice a bug. It doesn't happen every time and they fix it right away, so that the website is fast and works exactly the way I want it to work.

How did they perform from a project management standpoint?

They're very responsive. I use Trello to upload a task for them and they assign someone to a project, so we can see exactly where they are in the process. I also have an emergency phone number for them. When our website was down during the holiday season, I called them at 4 AM (they're in Ukraine and we're in the U.S.) and they picked up the phone and got down to work. The problem was not related to them, but they were available to fix it immediately.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They offer a rare mix of timeliness, professionalism, rate, and all-around work in the industry.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I can't think of a single thing.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Make sure you have a way to track your communication, especially if you work on multiple projects with them. It's important to keep track of each project.

The client submitted this review online.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I’m the owner and CEO of a company that specializes in marketing, web services, and general services for clients in a variety of industries. I also act as project/workflow manager.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire WEB4PRO?

We hired them for their expertise in e-commerce, specifically Magento and WordPress. We had a number of sites that needed plugin development for each platform, and they fit the bill quite nicely.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We connected with them on LinkedIn after a great conversation with their CEO. He proved that his team could meet all our development needs.

Describe the project in detail.

They worked on numerous projects for us. One of the largest ones involved Magento product feed comparison scripts to be written and fed into our products catalog, as well as customizing a number of plugins.

Another large project consisted of a highly customized WordPress build with a WooCommerce storefront for the checkout of specific packages. It also required custom templates because the default WooCommerce templates weren't sufficient. Aside from that, there have been many other smaller projects.

What was the team composition?

They’ve assigned a project manager and anywhere from one to three developers depending on the demand of the current project. They work with me and our developer and designer whenever necessary.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What outcomes or results can you share that demonstrate progress and/or success?

Each solution built or task accomplished has led to either increased product sales, better engagement due to a refined user experience, or additional services being procured. Overall, their work is a success.

How effective was the project management?

This aspect is quite good. I've used other offshore teams and have always had trouble with communication barriers. WEB4PRO always understands the requirements or asks the right questions to clarify their thoughts, which I find very impressive. We’ve used a systems development life cycle process as best we could and BitBucket as a file repository.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Their turnaround on any project or task we give them is outstanding. They even beat deadlines at times. Also, they’re willing to compromise on cost or features in order to build a great relationship.

What tips or recommendations do you have?

They could improve on making the difference between their flat rates and hourly quotes less confusing. However, I don’t think I’ve been part of any project where this aspect doesn’t become muddled, especially in ones with large scopes.

Feedback summary: 

The site now has 300 users and is seamless. The team at WEB4PRO was trusted with the execution of clear directives, as well as with the room to innovate towards the best possible end product, and their initiative has paid off. The team is capable and ambitious. 

A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I am the founder of a startup. My company had won some money in a competition, and it's my job to execute the vision of the company. That included building a website. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with WEB4PRO?

At the time, I had nothing but sketches. I had used several sites to find freelancers, and I had worked with 3–4 different freelancers already. One of those gave me a good experience but had to end our engagement for personal reasons. The other freelancers were not dependable. Finally, I came upon Sergey, my point man at WEB4PRO, and he did an amazing job.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

WEB4PRO did the design and development of my website, which is not your typical e-commerce website. It has e-commerce functionalities, but there are several custom features. For example, people need to be able to build a profile and connect it to Facebook. They can take personality quizzes which saves their results to their profile and updates it with images.

There's a complex feature which lets people compare and contrast their traits with other users visually. People can share their quiz results to Facebook, and there's a blog, a news feed, a store, a home page, an About Us page, etc. There were several complex features that weren't your typical cookie-cutter job. WEB4PRO was able to handle those.

We used Drupal, C++, C#, CSS, and HTML, the typical technologies.

What is the team dynamic?

Sergey was the manager of his squad, but I'm not sure how many people were working under him. Initially, there was a contact person in the first phase who linked me up with Sergey. They probably have a communications head that distributes projects to project managers.

How did you come to work with WEB4PRO?

I had started out using Freelancer.com. That's where I met my first guy. It went well, but he left me with 25% of the website done, and none of the login information. I managed to get 2 more people on Freelancer. I tried a few other websites as well. I probably hired WEB4PRO through Freelancer.

How much have you invested with them?

I spent a little under $10,000 with them.

What is the status of this engagement?

I worked with them from January to September 2016. The process was very active. They worked on the project most of the week, and I asked them for updates here and there. Now that the website completed and launched, the focus is on fixing bugs or making small updates. They used to work quite diligently on the site, and now they're like my doctor: I see them when something goes wrong.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We have over 300 profiles created on the website. I'm very satisfied, even though I'm a bit of a perfectionist. We designed the entire website one way and then realized that it wasn't the best way, so they redesigned it with me.

I gave them the freedom to design it how they thought was best based on their experiences. That definitely came through and made a better display. I have a lot of faith in their abilities both to execute what I ask them to do, but also for them to take the initiative and come up with the best way to do something.

How did WEB4PRO perform from a project management standpoint?

I set ambitious deadlines and they didn't always meet them, but they did always get the job done. Sometimes, things took an extra weekend or an extra week, but that was 1 out of 3 times I asked them to do something.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They can handle work that is not necessarily cookie cutter; they can do the cookie cutter features, but they didn't shy away from the custom features that I asked them to build. They did them well, and they are seamless. The custom features ended up flowing well with the rest of the website.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I can't think of anything.

Feedback summary: 

Through WEB4PRO’s attentive assistance, the website grew from a startup to a full-fledged online presence, increasing web traffic and sales throughout the long-term partnership. The team’s quick issue resolutions, attractive pricing, and integrity continue to impress. 

A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I am the founder and CEO of Life Enthusiast, which provides products and services to retail and wholesale clients in the alternative health industry. I oversee the company’s operations and make strategic decisions about our business operations. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with WEB4PRO?

Twelve years ago, we were a small online store selling nutraceuticals. We needed to upgrade our website several times to keep pace with online developments. We grew to offer 60 brands and over 600 SKUs, together with a library of educational articles. We wanted a site in PHP and Apache with a shopping cart solution. 

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

They’ve provided primarily e-commerce and PHP development. Over the years, they built 3 versions of the website, upgrading the software and expanding the features and scope. We went with osCommerce, which is an open-source shopping cart platform.

A lot of the things that I wanted to incorporate were not available back then, so many features had to be custom-developed. Today, the site may look pretty simple or standard, but 12 years ago there was little to choose from. WEB4PRO developed things based on my designs and suggestions. We negotiated a full feature set, and they made it happen.

Sometimes, we had communication issues, but most of the work went really smoothly. The features included affiliate management, newsletter integration, and a shopping cart. We did content management, so we had an integration of the articles with each product. The standard shopping cart allowed users to choose a size, color, price, and weight and click to buy.

We have information-rich content and offer some research. I had a lot of referential articles that we needed to link through. We had multiple views of the same database—each article as it relates to the product, category, and application. Each of our products has a list of ingredients, applications, and manufacturers. The database functions kind of like a cube: you can lie it on 6 different sides, and it'll give 6 different views of the same data. That was not common in the feature sets available at the time. WEB4PRO developed that feature for me.

I hired a North American firm to do the design of the website. There are cultural differences between American and Ukrainian views of the world. I found that WEB4PRO’s designs were nice to their eyes but didn’t look right for me. They have multiple developers and many skill sets. I was only using a small section of their expertise for PHP and Apache.

We also dealt with some server and backup issues. WEB4PRO did system work for me where we wanted to make sure that we can restore the site if accidents happen. They offered to work in Magento. They currently maintain the cart. We’re planning to switch to a different platform. We want to use a different shopping cart service, which will signal the end of our partnership with WEB4PRO.

How did you come to work with WEB4PRO?

Web4Pro was recommended by a consultant who was managing our early shopping cart and website development. When we priced things out, doing the work North America was going to cost about 10 times as much as WEB4PRO because they’re based in Ukraine, where the labor costs are a lot lower.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent about $150,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in 2005 and continue to collaborate. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Our company grew from a startup to a stable presence, and web traffic increased over the years. The impact of WEB4PRO’s work has been positive, but the metrics are hard to tell because we don’t have a means of comparison. If I’d chosen a developer who cost twice as much, would I have had the results 20% faster? I don’t know.

I have developed a sense of trust with WEB4PRO. We switched from working on a fixed-price basis to by the hour. I give them tasks and know that they’ll charge a fair price. I trust them enough to have an open-ended setup. Some issues came up, but we were able to resolve them. WEB4PRO owned their problems. If they did something wrong, they felt I shouldn’t have to pay for the fix.

How did WEB4PRO perform from a project management standpoint?

They were really good. They used Solid tracking for task management and accountability. We always knew the project status. We had an expected delivery date that they largely met.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their price is outstanding from our American standpoint. They communicate well and are eager to serve. It’s a strange world where their hardship creates a huge advantage for us in the U.S.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Because the project is flexible, everything can be done faster, better, cheaper, or with less trouble. Overall, we’ve had a good experience, and the results met our expectations.
