I am Account Manager in an Advertising Agency.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

We hired Weband to develop the campaign website for our client Videnov Furniture, because we don't have developers inhouse, only webdesigners. We wanted to make the website modern, with animations and motions. The challenge were the materials that we prepared - images of the furniture, patterns and videos and the links between them. Also the short deadline was a challenge for both us and WeBand.

SOLUTION

WeBand were recommended from my college and we contacted them, because they have good portfolio with projects. They send us an offer and we accepted it. Then our team work started.

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

The project started with few meetings in which we showed and told WeBand what we want. Then they sended us some recommendations and when we were ready with the design, we started to work. We were writing mails and making some telephone calls in order to catch up and send some materials and more recommendations. When the first delevoping part was ready, WeBand sended us link with draft website, then we gave some feedback and in few days the site was ready for uploading for the start of our campaign.

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

We contacted with Project Manager and sometimes with Technical Support.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

They organized a kickoff meeting where we explained who we are, what we are doing, and what we have to offer to our potential clients.

We chose several companies in the industry, but after talking with each of them, we liked the attitude and innovative ideas of the Weband team.

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

We gave full information about our idea for a corporate site, however, the Weband team offered some functionalities that we had not even thought of, and we did not know that they could be developed. We were very pleasantly surprised.

We worked with an account manager, a project manager and a support manager.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a copywriter at a software company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Weband?

We had a project to build a simple website that offered basic information about a product and contact information. Even though we do web development in-house most of the time, we were a bit low on resources and had a lot of other tasks, so we decided to work with an outside company.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Weband developed a website for us. We had three major phases of development. First, they built the site and put it up for QA and testing. Then, we performed tests, and they fixed bugs. Finally, they delivered the final product.

After the site launch, the team offered us a one-month warranty to fix bugs and anything we might have missed. Currently, we’re addressing the last few issues. Then, they’ll provide us with six months of site maintenance.

What is the team composition?

I'm mainly in contact with the project manager. We've also had a few meetings with the designer.

How did you come to work with Weband?

We made a shortlist of companies that we could work with and received offers from many providers, including Weband, who had good credentials. We reached out to them and had a few meetings. We found input from third parties and received endorsements from friends and colleagues who’d had experience with them or had heard of them. Ultimately, it didn’t take long to choose them due to their reputation and the offer they gave us.

How much have you invested with them?

So far, we’ve spent €3,000 (approximately $3,000 USD).

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in December 2021, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Although we don’t have metrics, Weband has met our agreement. They had 54 working days to finish the site before testing, and they managed to do it. They’ve done okay with everything since; we’ve given them feedback, and they’ve reacted fairly fast.

How did Weband perform from a project management standpoint?

We had some issues with email communication at first. However, we fixed it by organizing additional meetings via Microsoft Teams to address important issues, fine-tune communication, and ensure everything was going smoothly. In this meeting, a technical person, a QA specialist, and I are involved from our side and a designer from theirs. We now talk about the issues we can't describe adequately through email.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Weband sticks to the timeline and delivers what they say they will. I’m pleasantly surprised that there have been no delays.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They could avoid miscommunication. As mentioned, there were some issues at first where I was not sure that the project manager and the developers were always on the same page. Like me, the project manager isn’t a technical person, which likely created some confusion. However, we resolved this within a few emails and meetings.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

My advice is to formulate all questions very clearly so that there isn’t any miscommunication between you and Weband.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am a co-founder in an early stage start up, providing software as a service. The product aims to help managers and leaders in small companies motivate their employees with publicly available reviews about their specific achievements.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

When we started working with Weband we were at idea stage and needed a reliable supplier to create, test and maintain a web based platform with unique set of features and innovative concept behind the product.

SOLUTION

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

We have initially received a recommendation, followed by a series of meetings. Once we started the process of explaining and scoping the project we were quite pleased with their responsible approach, which they kept through out the whole project.

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

It was a collaboration between our team and business objectives at one hand and the front/back ends team of developers on the other. We have provided the wire frame and the prototype, while Weband was completely in charge in delivering the systems needed to have a working platform. A well delivered MVP, followed by a thorough and detailed testing, which resulted in a product ready to be launched and already on the market. We keep working together to deliver new and more sophisticated features.

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

A fully dedicated project manager, who also helped us immensely with expert advice on business development. Two front end and two back-end team members, additional team members have been assisting as per project's needs.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We managed to have a fully operational and working product as per the very initial idea, no pivots, no major issues, no compromises and no pending tasks left! We are confident that we can expect even better results in the future releases.

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

The project management style can be defined by one word — responsibility. The team has a very rare sense for a gentleman approach, i.e. once you have their word you can rely on it! Communication tools would include: scheduled meetings, crash meetings as per required, google docs, emails, bug tracking and task sheets, toggle plan, etc.

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

The sense of responsibility, commitment and dedication. We are now collaborating for more than year I can literally say it is a pleasure to see and work with such an approach in a business setting. Reliability is what defines the Weband team.

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

For the price-quality ratio the team provides, nothing can be improved as you get a pretty good deal.
