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

As noted earlier in this review, the project focused on having Whippet Creative collaborate with my company on building PodTopicsChattanooga.com from the ground up. This included developing the look and flow for the website, the functionality of the web and incorporating artwork for the website. One of the many reasons we chose Whippet Creative was that we needed a provider with expertise for building a WordPress-based CMS that could be adaptable and scalable. We envisioned the work on the project to be ongoing as we see PodTopics Chattanooga having a business life cycle that we are seeking to operate for at least the next 10 years.

The Whippet Creative Team, led by co-founder Sherry, took the time to examine precisely what we needed before developing a plan and timeline that perfectly fit our needs and budget. Whippet Creative completed what we viewed as Phase 1 of our development for PodTopicsChattanooga.com ahead of schedule and under budget. The work Whippet Creative did for our company was absolutely on target and it has positioned us well to augment and scale the website with Whippet Creative’s assistance as we move forward into the future.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

As noted in a previous response, the PodTopicsChattanooga.com website went from start-up to completion ahead of schedule and under budget. We needed a fairly quick turnaround as we had some early opportunities to market our services to clients in the Chattanooga area. Without that quick turnaround and working within a modest budget that we had established for the project, we would not have been able to effectively interact with prospective clients. Sherry and her team at Whippet Creative took the time to understand our challenges and they brought effective solutions to the table that met our needs.

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

While I have noted this in a couple other places within this review, it’s critically important to note that Sherry  and her team at Whippet Creative have been extremely attentive to our needs with the PodTopicsChattanooga.com website. Not only did Whippet Creative finish Phase 1 of the work ahead of schedule and under budget, the attention to detail with our website development was excellent. Sherry and her team take the time to get to know your business. It was clear that Sherry and her team are invested in my company’s success as a business. Instead of simply pointing out roadblocks and why something can't be done, Whippet Creative is always ready with alternatives and solutions when issues arise. It’s clear that Whippet Creative places a priority and a great deal of importance on customer service.

What was your primary form of communication with Whippet Creative?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

While the work Whippet has on building and maintaining the PodTopicsChattanooga.com website has been and continues to be highly impressive on its own, Whippet Creative’s commitment to customer service and making sure we understand our options, including the possible benefits and potential pitfalls, make Sherry and her team unique in our eyes. Whippet Creative, in our experiences with them, is always ready and willing to go the extra mile. Our company’s leadership has been utilizing website developers and creative services agencies for over 35 years. Whippet Creative stands tall in what they do because of their commitment to us as a customer. We have been able to build a great working relationship with Sherry and her team because they have taken the time to understand our business and our challenges.

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

As I have noted throughout this review, Whippet Creative has been on target with all of the work that they have done for our company. One of the ways that Sherry and her team stay on point in our view is their willingness to seek feedback and discuss ways to improve and be more efficient. I really appreciate this proactive approach to project management. If you are looking for a company in this space that has a dedication to service, seeks to find creative solutions and is focused on providing overall value, you should contact Whippet Creative.
