Wonder Makers

Please describe your company and your position there.

My official title is "independent consultant". Most of my work consists of hands-on projects with various NGOs around Europe.

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

The idea is to help NGOs with lead generation, lead conversion, mobilization and organizing. In essence - to increase supporter, donor and activist numbers vie online tools, mostly campaign websites. Among various examples I can list an initiative to ban animal testing combined with petition and integration with donation page or a mobilization center for civic activist to register, donate and download materials.

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

The key for a reliable long-term partner I can recommend to my clients is for said partner to be RELIABLE. To deliver what was agreed beforehand. To overcome unexpected obstacles that come in the way. To always aim for a solution that makes both parties happy (invoicing, deadlines, extra features and support).

In my career, I did cooperate closely with around 10 other companies and/or individuals. So far I can confidently note that Wonder Makers are in fact more than just reliable and because of this they are always my first choice when on a lookout for new devs.

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

Whenever a website is needed, Wonder Makers are my first choice to secure an offer. During the years I've worked with various developers and the team in Wonder makers always excels in delivery. Whenever I need someone to produce a website that looks appealing and works as well as it looks, I tend to choose Wonder makers.

Most often, these features are needed: - bunch of transactional emails (reminders, various thank you emails, ...) - integration with donation gate (for smoothless user experience) - various url parameters (to modify user experience based on source and channel used for acquisition) - integration with CRM through hash links (prefilling forms and displaying different texts and CTAs) - and many other less common features

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

• 2 out of 3 owners
• 2 graphic designers
• 2 programmers

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

Ohh. The key aspect of our cooperation always is to increase the holy trinity of every long-term thinking NGO. No. of leads with both phone and email. No. of single donors. No. of regular donors. I can confidently say that each web project Wonders Makers did delivered to my clients more than they expected in this regard.

All of them paid for themselves out of the donations that have been processed right on those websites. The key here is that Wonder Makers have a great deal of experience with building KPI oriented websites.

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

Flexibility. I work with various clients and they all have their different styles and expectations regarding project management. And Wonder Makers so far seem to be coping with that just fine. No matter if a client wants to just have office visits, online Trello board or even a separate Slack - Michal and Filip are always proactively trying to find a way how to best hit client's expectations.

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

The two owners - Michal and Filip. Their hearts are in this 100% and you can bet it will be useful in the next decade or two at least.

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

As in any cooperation with various parties while dealing with unknown, better planning could improve the flow of days right before the launch. You know, in order to eliminate the 16-20 hour days just before a web goes public =))

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm HR manager in Gaming Studio with world-known projects.

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

Our company is growing a quite and we have a way more cool project than we have 10 years ago. So this must go with better HR marketing, brand etc. hand in hand. Needs were obvious, websites are the first thing to see when you are looking info about the company. So first goal = brand new and fresh websites.

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

Searching was not hard, WonderMakers have pretty nice branding on LinkedIn and after few meetings with other vendors It was crystal clear we need to cooperate with WM. The attitude they shown was absolutely perfect.

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

We had couple of meeting in our offices where guys from WonderMakers were trying to absorb our company culture - we were just talking and brainstorming. We knew what's our goal, but we had absolutely no idea what will be final product, better how it will look like. This was the ideal part of the cooperation, we enjoyed so much these meetings, because during that we were able to use other and other thing for our branding not only website. We realized what we have, what we do every day and how cool our company realy is. Communication was nice, guys were always on the phone or at least replied quickly via mail.

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

Aroud seven people, from Founder's, graphic designer, to dron guy and photographer.

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

We got very positive feedback on the websites and showreel

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

We had every-week updates and follow-ups via mail, google meet and phone. This was really the easiest way to get our goal. We felt like WonderMakers were part of our internal team.
