Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

We used WordPress. I wanted to maintain control, so I used a local designer for the site’s look and feel. tecHangouts asked for three Photoshop pages of my desired front page and a couple of different back pages. They then built the site, with ongoing iterations as we progressed. The actual look, including colors, was not done by tecHangouts. I mostly worked with Vuhar Mamedov, the CEO.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

We’ve received many compliments on the site, saying it’s clean, easy to navigate and responsive. It’s not a transactional site, so we focused on simplicity. For business sites, people want them clean, fast and easy to find information on, which is what we delivered.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Very well. They were quick. Outsourcing can have issues, especially with communication, but it was easy with tecHangouts. Their English is good and they understand commercial goals and aesthetics. I rarely had to explain something twice.

What was your primary form of communication with tecHangouts LLC?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

Their communication and making sure they understand the objectives. They provided feedback, which isn’t always common in outsourcing. When I had a solution that wasn’t the best, they would suggest better alternatives. It felt like a joint project rather than just commissioning someone to execute instructions.

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

None at this point. It was a simple website project. I have a more complicated project in mind and definitely will use them for it. This was a test to see how the relationship works and I’ve been impressed. Communication is key when working long distance, and if that works well, it’s like working with a local team of developers.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

We wanted a web app and tecHangouts LLC made that happen. We came up with the idea, design, concepts and written requirements. I sent those to them and they planned how to implement it.

Since it was our first project, we had many changes. They helped us refine the concept and did initial consultations until we had our first product. Then they took over the technical development, determined the best tech stack to achieve our goals. They built the backend with Node.js and frontend with the Angular framework and did in-house testing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

tecHangouts LLC delivered exactly what we asked for, function wise and implementation. I would rate them 5/5 across the board. I worked with another company before and they were terrible compared to tecHangouts LLC.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

We are very happy with their project management. There were a few minor delays (which is common in development) but most of them were due to our own oversights which they promptly addressed.

Communication was perfect. We had weekly meetings to discuss the agenda.

We are happy overall. There were a few miscommunications but that’s expected when you outsource.

The project was managed by an outsourced team from tecHangouts LLC. They developed products with all the required features to meet our business needs. First, the design team created clickable prototypes for all the apps we wanted to build. The first phase was to build the MVP versions of the modern mobile applications.

One of our apps for nursing homes has been very successful. What started as a startup with 3 people has grown to a company with dozens and is the first of its kind in Australia. The service is in many facilities around the country and we are looking to expand our client base with feature changes within the app..

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Compared to other teams we’ve worked with, tecHangouts LLC was very good at understanding our requirements. The face to face meetings were great and we had them several times during the project. tecHangouts LLC even recommended we have these meetings to finalise the products together. Despite the investment and effort required (due to the distance) we really liked the benefits of this approach.

tecHangouts LLC’s consultants communicated well in English, they were engaged in the project and determined to resolve any issues that arose. They have a well documented development process and we could check the results regularly. The apps were shared in a cloud based testing environment and we received documentation, design visuals and test versions of the products.

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