I think I already have recommended yeah. We are sending some referrals your way.

I've put so much work into this website and I just need someone to develop it. But I know that I can't trust somebody to get what my vision is and make it look and work exactly the same as I have designed it. But that is the problem you solve. You have said, what you've done, exactly what you've done on Figma, I put it on Webflow and you solve that connection that was always missing. I think overall, we went into this at Geist. We went into this project with some hesitation because we knew there was a timeline and a budget that we had to stick to. This was a new partner we were working with. We didn't know what would come of it, but I think at the end of it, everything fell into place. But that's because of the effort that was made on both sides of the table, which I'm very appreciative of. I think as a team we are very appreciative of. So, all in all, great. There's definitely more work that we want to do, hopefully together. So now that we have finished this one part, there will be further conversations about what we can do. Yeah, I really liked the weekly summary emails that you guys sent. Also it really helped us as a team whenever we also have a weekly call at an internal call. And then were able to provide that update to the larger Geist team. And when they would ask us how's the website going? And we had that answer because you had sent us the recap. So that was one thing that really stood out about your process. 

We had a website. It was a WordPress based thing, ancient and very difficult to work with. And honestly, I had worked on that website five years ago. That's the reason why I started working with this company. And so we knew that we needed to change it. And the biggest driver was since as a brand, our beer is available in multiple locations, not just in Bangalore, but in Hyderabad as well. People were not able to figure out where the beer was available. Right. Just that simple. Not everyone has instagram to come and see where it is available.So we're able to solve that right now because we just point them to the website and say everything is located here. 

We've got a lot of feedback from different age groups. Right. I think the biggest joy that people had was they knew how passionate we are as a team about design. And it was seamless. They could see Geist in the website and we know the heartache of when you design something and it doesn't come out in development. We didn't have to go through that heartache at all with them. They were able to see it was a natural extension of the brand guide.To explain a design decision that you've taken to a team that doesn't know design. And yeah, we felt like the entire thing was very seamless. People kind of looked at the website and understood what we were trying to do with it, and understood why we made certain changes. My experience, what I've realized with clients when I've been on the agency side, and when you expect something from them, they freak out a little bit because they're not used to that. They're used to expecting you to do the work. So I feel that this is the correct way to do it, where you have a give and take on both sides. And like we said, we really appreciated that you also had that boundary.

We were actually pleasantly surprised by the way things went because of the situation that we came to you in. We had been abandoned by the team that was working on this previously for various reasons. And I think for us, one of the concerns was that our design language is very strong. It's something we're very passionate about as an organization and a brand. And we wanted to work with somebody at that point who would not fight us on that, but actually help us meet our deadline, which is exactly what you guys did. So overall, I think it went really great. After having worked with you guys for a week or two, then we kind of understood that, okay, we can bring a little bit of the design flavor back into the look and feel of the site as well. I think it was really refreshing for me personally as a designer and having worked with previous developers, it's usually the vision that you have and what actually comes on the screen doesn't match, and you kind of spot a few issues here and there in terms of just alignment and sizing and things like that. And then you kind of think like, okay, are they not seeing what I've designed? And how is that not looking the same as what has been developed? But in that sense, I think you have really exceeded my expectations. 

What we wanted was someone who would really get it, really understand what we needed the site to do. In our case, it needed to really work in terms of information and education. The customer really needed to be able to find what they needed from our site. And I think with the CMS especially, you understood what we needed and delivered that and did that without compromising on any design or responsiveness or anything like. 

‍That, I think our primary concern at that point was the timeline. We had committed to something internally and we wanted to stick to it as our mini team within the team. Right. Sometimes it's easy to blame a team that's not worked out, but ultimately your objective is to finish your project. And so yes, of course, the plan was always to find an agency or individual developer. We did try that route as well in between before we found you. But I think one of the flavors that your team brought to the table was you had separate roles for separate things. There was somebody who was looking at the project from a timeline and kind of scope basis and obviously you had your development team who was working on the actual project itself. 

And I think personally, for me, what was refreshing was we didn't feel like we were talking to two different teams, which often happens with an agency. You guys seem to be pretty in-sync with yourself. We didn't have to double breeze, which often happens. That was one of the major concerns. I think you were very much in sync internally and that reflected in your engagement with us. It made things a lot more seamless on our end. Got a good feeling also after speaking to you and your team for the first time.  And I think we felt a little reassured at that moment that I think. For me, when you sent across the scope document, I really like the way you wrote out your terms and conditions, which typically is endless pages like language you don't really understand sometimes. There was an element of what there was a glimpse of what you were looking for out of this that came through, that personality came through in an otherwise very dry section of a scope document. So I think that at least gave me some confidence. And she had confidence and I had confidence in her and so it worked out. I have also done freelance before and I used to also send a document like that with this is what we are expecting from you. I know you are expecting this much from us, but on the other side we also expect we really appreciated it because we knew that it showed us that you were very serious about the work that you're doing.
