Webcapitan

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the owner of company who has multiple WEB projects. Our company was established more than 5 years ago and our main focus is creating and developing WEB sites and browser games.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

One of our new projects was Sveikt.lv: a portal where users could easily order a video greeting from celebrities - popular persons who work different areas, like actors, musicians, athletes etc. In other words - a local version of cameo.com, but here we wanted to focus on the local celebrities. We got ready the design, however at that time our WEB developer was busy with other tasks, so we needed to find someone else as soon as possible.

SOLUTION

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

I searched for WordPress developers in some freelancer sites and we got dozens of applications. We chose to start work with Webcapitan because their main focus profile was exactly WordPress sites, and also because it sounded honest and knowing what they are talking about (comparing with some other ones who claimed know almost all programming languages in the world).

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

Once we agreed to continue with Webcapitan, we started to contact via chat and spent a few weeks discussing the design files and planned functionality. In the begin we used the old good Google sheet for tracking the tasks and Figma files for design, but later on we moved to a centralized tool where it's easier to overview the progress, assigned people, spent time and many other things.

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

Mostly I work with their CEO and also with their main developer. With the rest of their team I contact mostly only regarding particular tasks to clarify the scope or verifying the bugs.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The first version of site was published in the end of 2022 and we already got some results and increasing popularity. Despite the force-major situation in their home country they are able to continue work on the upgrades and bug fixes.

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

They have a centralized work platform where I add all the tasks or bugs to be fixed. Then each of them gets assigned to the developer, depending on the type (e.g.: a functional or design issue). The work usually is done in a timely manner, excepting some cases when the delay is caused due to developer being sick or problems with electricity/network in their location, but in such cases they always try to inform me prior.

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

The company was quite well organized and professional. Although the project being a bit challenging due to the design and some functionality, they almost never has told 'no' to my requests. In most of cases they are ready to step an extra mile by explaining the task or even providing an alternative which would cost less time and efforts.

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

One thing I'd wish they had is an overview of the time spent time for each task, as know they have to export the list manually every month.

Tenacity is great when it comes to project management. This is one of the things that this guys are working in, and I’m doing very good work in a situation where other people would do nothing.
