Webalize

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a psychotherapist, and I have a small psychology office.

What challenge were you trying to address with Webalize?

I used to work for a bigger company in public healthcare. When I started my own business, I wanted to be recognized in my local area so that people could get to know me and ask for a consultation. Therefore, I needed a simple website to inform potential patients about my techniques and services.

What was the scope of their involvement?

Webalize built my website. They had several ideas on how to create a more interactive design, but I wanted to keep it simple because I wasn’t allowed to advertise or add many links to it. 

The website featured information about my services, contact details, and pricing. They prepared several versions, and then they moved on to develop the website when we agreed on one design. Initially, I only provided an idea and the text for the website. They were quick to deliver and did precisely did what I asked them to do.

They also provided the hosting for the website.

What is the team composition?

I worked with a web designer and a web developer. The web designer was my main point of contact.

How did you come to work with Webalize?

A friend of mine told me about them. They said that Webalize was reliable and good at what they did, so I was confident that they’d be a good fit for me. Moreover, they were very intuitive and detailed, and the team wanted to do the best work.

How much have you invested with them?

I spent around €500 (approximately $570 USD) on this project. 

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together at the beginning of January 2021, and the project was finished by the end of February 2021. However, I can get in touch with them if I need any changes.

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

The website is perfect — it’s informative and makes people trust me. When I ask my patients why they got in touch and came to my office, they say that the website looked very professional and welcoming. Therefore, Webalize did exactly what I needed them to do; they delivered successfully.

How did Webalize perform from a project management standpoint?

They managed the project quickly and satisfactorily. I wanted the job completed fast because I was venturing on my own, so I wanted to have a website as soon as possible. The team was able to do it, and they also managed everything professionally.

We mainly communicated over Zoom and email.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They were very trustworthy and did what they promised. They also had an excellent taste — Webalize was spot on with the aesthetic and colors for the website, and they had great opinions about it.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Open communication is the key. At first, they didn’t understand the specifics of my work, but when I explained why I couldn’t do some things on my website because I’m in the mental health sector, they understood and followed my specifications.

Please describe your company and your position there.

At Księgowość Dla Spółek I’m a shareholder, responsible among others for marketing and branding.

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

We hired Webalize to help us completely redesign and rewrite our website into a newer and more reliable PHP framework. We also needed rebuild our current CMS, to have more flexibility while optimizing our blog posts for SEO

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

In fact, Webalize is our client to whom we provide accounting services and they offered us support with rebuilding the website

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

At first, Webalize investigated the previous website and identified areas for improvement both within fields of SEO and UX. Then they moved on to the redesign process, which took several weeks to complete. Once we agreed on the designs, they proceeded with coding and building the CMS. Then we had a chance to double check everything on their test instance and add some finishing touches before launching. The launching process itself was seamless and was conducted without any negative impact on our search rankings.

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

The team consisted of two web designers and two web developers

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

Since launching we have received plenty of positive feedback from our clients and our ranking positions started to slowly increase. This new design definitely makes our business appear more professional and trustworthy. Also, now that we have a proper CMS, we can edit virtually any piece of content on the website, including SEO parameters, without having to ask developers for support. It has already saved us a considerable amount of time and money.

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

It was highly effective. The Webalize team proved to be very engaged in the process and kept the project going at a great pace.

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

great design, punctuality, modernity, practicality of solutions

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

Everything was excellent

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the head of sales and marketing at Creamy, a Polish cosmetics manufacturer and seller.

What challenge were you trying to address with Webalize?

We wanted to optimize our existing website because its performance on Google was really bad.

What was the scope of their involvement?

Webalize redesigned our site’s front page and purchase path, and they optimized certain technical capabilities, looking to get better scores on Google Analytics. For the redesign, they based their work on our brand identity, but they started developing the site from an existing code. However, they built the purchase path and a video-on-demand (VOD) service from scratch.

On top of cosmetics, customers can buy 7-day plans to see our videos. Webalize designed the whole user journey related to this service, including the use of codes to get access to the platform.

Although I know that Webalize can build websites from scratch, they built ours on WordPress. Additionally, they did some technical SEO work on the site, like shortening category names and changing picture sizes, but that wasn’t their main focus.

Currently, they’re developing the graphical side further. For example, they’re doing 3D renders of our products. Overall, they’re focused on creating an excellent UX for our website.

What is the team composition?

I’m working with Marcin (Product Designer & Co-Founder) and Konrad (CBO & Co-Founder) on a regular basis. I’m also working with a lady who is much more focused on graphic design. 

How did you come to work with Webalize?

I already knew Webalize, from when they helped me set up my own blog. My need at the time was the same: I had done something on my own, and they helped me do it properly. Someone recommended them to me initially, and I liked what they did for me then, so I kept working with them.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent around €150,000 (approximately $172,000) over the last six months. Their price is 80 Polish Zloty or around €17 (approximately $20 USD) per hour.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with Webalize in January 2021, and our engagement is ongoing. They keep implementing changes on the website, and they recently built a new landing page for me.

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

I’m very satisfied working with Webalize, and I highly recommend them. Our metrics are complex because many things outside of Webalize’s scope influence the performance of the website. However, I can say that it loads much faster now, and our bounce rate is lower. Additionally, we’re getting much more traffic from paid search campaigns than before, and overall, our website is better than it used to be.

How did Webalize perform from a project management standpoint?

Webalize always sets reasonable timelines and meets the deadlines; that’s why they’re professionals. They’re also very responsive, no matter what time of the day we reach out to them.

It’s great to communicate and collaborate with them because they feel like true business partners. If I have many ideas, they prioritize them and tell me which ones are possible and which aren’t. We use Toggl for time tracking and Trello for communication.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Webalize is not a standard, rigid, and process-oriented firm; they’re very flexible, responsive, and capable of making great recommendations. Although they don’t specialize in web strategy, they’re growing, and they share their knowledge as they do so. Additionally, they constantly propose solutions and time estimates so that we can keep going and move into the next stages.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I don’t see any area of improvement for now. I really like working with Webalize.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

I don’t have any particular advice; they’re really easy-going. We don’t have to do something special because they’re really engaged in what they do.

What challenge were you trying to address with Webalize?

In order to convince people to work with us, we needed to present our case portfolio and business offerings, so we asked Webalize to develop a lead generation website.

What was the scope of their involvement?

Webalize provided us with a few of their services starting with creating a new logo and branding. They presented us with a few proposals for the logo design and we chose the best one — they didn’t just give us different mock-ups, they had charts and discussed the requirements in great detail.

They then developed a CMS that’s customized for our needs, including a form for client acquisition — the additional information given by the client helps us provide the best service possible. Furthermore, they built our website using WordPress.

What is the team composition?

We worked with one UX researcher, one brand designer, and several programmers.

I’m really happy with Webalize’s work because they implemented some features that have never been seen in our industry. They react fast and they deliver what we want.

They had a holistic approach to the project and took all our issues into consideration. Webalize is a professional company that worked fast and was very collaborative. Moreover, the site has been helping us acquire new clients — we wanted a more elaborate contact form and Webalize delivered it to us.

How did Webalize perform from a project management standpoint?

They worked very fast and met every deadline. The delays came from our side, which they had no problems adjusting to — they motivated me to move with agility and spoke to me in a pleasant and approachable way.

We used email, and Webalize set up some web tools where I could collaborate on the content, check the progress, and make comments.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We like that they approached every roadblock by identifying solutions first. They were quite young, motivated, and highly engaged.

Are there any areas they could improve?

We really liked their skills and technical approach, so I can’t think of anything they could improve on.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

If you’re thinking of working with them, you need to be prepared because Webalize works fast.
