Wild Web Art

Please describe your company and your position there.

My name is Svetlana Kyrychuk, I am an individual dermatocosmetologist with more than 10 years of experience. I have clients from all over the world: the United States, UK, Germany, French, UAE, Italy, Belgium, Spain, Ukraine, Russia, and others. 

For what projects/services did your company hire Wild Web Art?

I hired Wild Web Art so that they could help me to build a multiplatform mobile application, dedicated to help my clients and me handle their medical records in an easy and friendly way.

What were your goals for this project?

The major goals for the project were: to create iOS and Android applications both for the Patient and Doctor sides.

The 'Patient' app should allow my clients to make appointments with the doctor, keep all medical records 'in a pocket', contact the doctor directly via in-built messenger.

The 'Doctor' app should allow doctors to handle all their patients` records, help their patients via the in-built messenger, arrange delayed messages and 'birthday' messages, receive notifications about specific users' activities.

Another goal was to publish both apps to the Android Market and App Store and to handle all the third-parties integrations (Applozic, Twillio, DigitalOcean).

Also, the important goal was to keep the project within agreed deadlines and budget.

How did you select Wild Web Art?

I knew Serge (the CEO of the Wild Web Art) before, we met at a business development camp. I know him as a responsible and capable person, who always keeps an eye for the details and can provide efficient solutions when it comes to problem-solving situations.

Thus I came to him for initial counseling about my project. His team conducted a discovery phase which results convinced me to trust my project in hands of Wild Web Art.

Describe the project in detail.

The Wild Web Art provided the full cycle of services required to complete the project:

• Discovery phase, my requirements analysis, competitors analysis, potential users analysis;
• Wireframing, users mapping, clickable prototypes were provided;
• Business Analysis, specs preparation;
• UX/UI Design;

Development preparation activities: I was informed about how the project development phase will go, how can I monitor the project progress, budget/deadlines status, how often and in what format I can receive updates (several options were provided);

• Development phase: iterative development process, I was able to see partial results after each iteration (2 weeks) and budget/deadlines reports were provided respectively; 
• Testing and QA: I was provided with a possibility to see all the submitted bugs and issues;
• Third-party communication: the Wild Web Art team communicated with all third-parties, created all the required accounts using creds I provided;
• Android Market and AppStore publication: the Wild Web Art team created accounts and published both apps there. We had a major issue concerning AppStore publication which was caused by the problem on the Apple side, the team efficiently handled the issue and resolved the problem without my direct participation;
• Support: after apps went live, the team provided full support, helped to fix bugs that appeared after the iOS update, and helped with my personnel training.

What was the team composition?

The team assigned to my project included:

• iOS Swift developer
• Android developer
• Back-end PHP developer
• Tech-lead (consultation & supervision)
• Designer
• Business Analyst
• QA Engineer
• Project Manager

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

We had 100+ new users over the first three days and we gain the top-5 position in the Top Charts in the AppStore among Medical applications. And my users are happy that their records are finally digitalized.

Currently, the average rating in the AppStore is 5 stars and in the Android Market, it`s 4.9 stars with 50+ reviews.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

I`d like to admit that the project management on the project was efficient and provided everything I need for me to keep abreast.

I was provided with statuses regularly (every day or twice a week, depending on the stage of the project and the amount of new information generated during each week), the team shared project deadlines and budget plan with me, which was updated with completed tasks and tracked time at the end of each iteration (2 weeks).

If I had any questions - a responsible PM was ready to have a call to help me with them. If we had any issues or risks informed beforehand so that we could discuss and find a solution before we experience any unexpected losses.

Also, when we had an issue with Apple (while submitting the iOS app to AppStore), the PM handled the situation without my direct intrusion and I was not billed for any time spent on the issue resolving. All in all, I was very satisfied.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Two things in the Wild Web Art impressed me the most:

1. They are willing to provide some preliminary value for no cost, e.g. the discovery phase was conducted as some kind of proof of work and I was not billed for it. I was impressed by the quality of work which persuaded me to work with the team.
2. They pay a lot of attention to their clients. They discussed the best communication strategy with me (I was more comfortable communicating in chat in text format, as I usually lack time for regular calls) and they always discussed everything with me. Any potential risks or issues

• I was informed and counseled on a possible solution; the team found some ways for improvement during the development
• I was told and the vision was shared, all the improvement than were stored in our task-manager; any questions that I had about the app
• the team was always there to help me.

Are there any areas for improvement?

It is fair to say that there are always some ways and areas for improvement. But for the Wild Web Art and this particular project, I`d like to admit that everything was performed on a premium level and I have nothing to add. Wish best of luck on future projects and I am sure I`ll get back to them when I need another project in mind 😉

Please describe your company and your position there.

We are a real estate SaaS startup. The app that provides the real estate broker with all the necessary infrastructure for effective remote activity.

For what projects/services did your company hire Wild Web Art, and what were your goals?

We were aimed to build and release the first version of our product and measure the product-market-fit.

How did you select Wild Web Art and what were the deciding factors?

We hired them to develop our MVP from scratch – a web app for real estate brokers.

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

The Wild Web Art team was involved in the product discussions almost from the very beginning, we attracted Serge as a consultant at the early stage. They have a really good experience working with startups, so their impact on defining the MVP scope was crucial. Thus, we found the perfect balance of the app features, their priority, and budget.

Our app allows brokers to store all info about the properties, share it with their prospects, and safely share it with other agents. Wild Web Art team wrote the specs, created the design, and built everything up. The most challenging part was API integration with a third-party CRM system, but the dev team managed it. They used Laravel for backend.

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

We had a full team: project manager, designer, front-end dev, backend dev, quality assurance specialist. Their project manager handles all communication between us and the developers and QA team. It's very helpful to work with just a single contact person who can coordinate the process.

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

We tested our business hypothesis successfully and attracted more than 20 brokers for our MVP in a month.

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

Project management was amazing. We had regular calls with dedicated PM to discuss the status of the development and questions. Sometimes they provided us with a recorded video demo - it was really useful.

The reports were very detailed and cover everything. In general, they’re always in touch with us. They provided us with a high-level plan (Gantt chart) at the start and we were always aware of where we are. We used Jira for task tracking.

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

I was impressed by their business vision and experience with the startups. Actually, they consult us a lot and it was really valuable. The feature estimates were realistic and not over the top in order to guarantee a huge profit margin. Wild Web Art was always attentive at responding to questions and assisting in other areas where we lacked knowledge.

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

Nothing to share here. If I thought of ways that they need to improve, I’d tell them and they’d do it. They're extremely interested in being the best possible partner they can be.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the founder of a startup in the VR industry. Apart from our main product, we also have a VR development service line.

For what projects/services did your company hire Wild Web Art, and what were your goals?

We were looking for a company that can build an internal CRM system for our client from scratch and take full responsibility for the result. Our goal was to provide additional value for our client, our client's goal was to automate some of business processes with CRM system.

How did you select Wild Web Art and what were the deciding factors?

I talked to dozens of vendors that I found through Upwork. Wild Web Art had the most professional and thorough service offering and made me feel confident they could get the job done.

I talked to Serge and got the sense that he was an extremely competent and caring person.

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

They worked closely with me and my team to build and iterate on the client's software - internal CRM system. The client had a need to build everything from scratch. They understood the basic vision and had a goal to create a ready-to-use web app within the ambitious timeline. First of all, the Wild Web Art team interviewed the client to get a clear understanding of the use cases and purposes of the system. Then, their UX\UI team conducted high-level market research and came up with the first sketches of the platform. What surprised us the most is that they cut off a list of “nice to have” features and simplified some complex tasks in order to save the budget. This is the first time I worked with a team that didn't try to upsell more features and increase the cost. The platform was built with Node.js & React.js.

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

We worked with Serge (CEO) at the very beginning, after the project manager was assigned, and he was our main point of communication.

Overall, there was about 6 team members: Project Manager, Business Analyst, UX\UI Designer, Frontend & Backend Developers and QA Engineer.

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

Our client was fully satisfied with the result and the system help their business a lot.

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

Wild Web Art was fantastic to work with. They took the time to understand us as a company, so they could really identify what we wanted to achieve.

They asked a great question the expounded on what described in the product spec. They were responsive to our requests and flexible when we wanted to make changes.

We were always able to chat and discuss any project-related questions in Slack, they provided us with weekly (sometimes twice a week) updates & made regular demos via Google Meet or video recordings.

The project was delivered to an agreed budget, and we are really pleased with the results.

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

The business acumen of every team member. Sure, building software requires technical knowledge, and many dev shops have smart staff like Wild Web Art.

What set them apart from the interview stage through to delivery was their willingness to really understand the problem, the market, and the requirements before simply coding something to requirements.

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

I can't define anything specifically. Any issues that arose from personal differences in working styles were quickly resolved.

Overall, our engagement has been very smooth.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the co-founder and the CEO of TSI Analytics Group. It is an international analytical company that specializes in providing analytical and educational services in the field of financial and crypto markets. The company exists since 2015 and during this time: - More than 20,000 customers in the field of B2C; - More than 50 B2B clients; - More than 70 thousand people trust us (Youtube channel of the company has more than 34 thousand subscribers). We have expertise in analytics of financial and cryptocurrency markets, and we are sharing this expertise with others via our TSI Analytics platform. Also, we provide online courses on trading and financial and cryptocurrency market analysis.

For what projects/services did your company hire Wild Web Art?

In 2015 we came up with the idea of creating an environment for those who are interested in trading and financial markets. The very important part here was the creation of the website so we could introduce ourselves to our potential users. At first, we required a user-friendly and mobile adaptive website with a description of who we are and what services do we provide.

Also, on this point, we decided to create a fully content manageable News module and an Analytics module, that draws out fresh financial quotes through the API and displays charts with financial info. Wild Web Art team managed to do it in reasonable deadlines and budgets. After about a year we were expanding and we decided to focus on online education dedicated to financial (and later crypto) markets.

WWA helped us a lot by creating the educational platform integrated with our existing TSI website. This platform included a fully manageable list of courses and lessons, homework features, internal chat for communication with teachers, admin panel with the access-management tool and essential analytics and statistics.

What were your goals for this project?

Our main goal on this project was to create an environment where we would be able to provide both automated (through video recorded courses and tests) and personalized education on financial (and later crypto) markets; establish teacher-student communication channels via internal chat and homework module; provide our users with actual financial news, analytics and market quotes.

How did you select this vendor?

Serge (Wild Web Art's founder) and I met before and we have known each other for a while. I knew him and his team as highly responsible, competent and well-organized specialists who by that time have completed several relatively small projects but received positive feedback from their clients. It was their first big project but I put my trust in them and had no doubts that they would manage to handle it.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

First of all, the Wild Web Art team conducted a deep business analysis so that to receive all the requirements. We held several meetings discussing the goals that we need to achieve, our potential client`s portrait, the supposed structure of the future website, building an action plan together and coordinating our deadlines and budgets. Then I was provided with schemes and prototypes, so the team and I were able to work on a single vision of the future website.

After that, the design phase was launched, and we worked together with the team on each page. On agreeing on each page the development phase was started, then QA activities were provided and the platform was cleaned from bugs and successfully launched live.

I`d like to admit that on each phase of the project I was fully aware of what was going on on the project: WWA management regularly provided me with feedback, statuses, and answers on my questions; during the prototyping and designing phases we were working closely with the team, so I was fully involved and had a possibility to share my vision and ideas right away.

What was the team composition?

The Wild Web Art team included a designer, a frontend developer, and a backend developer. Back then, WWA was a small agency and Serge was responsible for most of the non-development activities: business analysis, prototyping, QA and management.

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

As soon as we launched our platform live we started to gain new active users, new members of TSI Academy (our online classes). Since then we have increased our client base (B2C) to 10,000 and have established connections with more than 10 B2B clients, with the help of our platform. Generally, this project was essential to start our business, as it was the key element of the business itself.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

Strong management is one of the key advantages of Wild Web Art. From the very beginning Serge, as a WWA management representative, was working closely with me helping to develop the vision and the structure of the future platform.

During the design and the development phase I was fully informed about the project status, I received feedback from Wild Web Art every day at the beginning of the day. Also, I was able to monitor the project using the Trello board, where all tasks and documents were carefully tracked.

Every week we held a brief meeting so to review the progress of the project, look through all the deliverables, discuss possible risks and plans of their mitigations and so on.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

First of all, I was pleasantly surprised by the management quality that was provided by Wild Web Art. Communicating with Serge was easy, we always were on the same page about the project and I was always up to date. Also, all the project phases were completed quickly and without any problems, thanks to constant communication. Serge paid a lot of attention during the initial project ideas discussions, so he and his team had the right vision and understanding of what my business was requiring.

Are there any areas for improvement?

From my personal experience after working with the WWA team, there is really a little to improve. I could just advise paying more attention to the documentation of the project. We were not using much documentation during the TSI project as we required to complete the project in the shortest possible terms and there was no such an urgent need, but for future projects it might be vital to document all of the project inputs and outputs.
