OUR STORY**BACKGROUND** Please provide details about your company and your role. I own a local news and discussion website that delivers breaking news, allows user comments, hosts games, and features various forms of user interaction.
**OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** For which projects or services did you engage SJ Innovation LLC, and what were your objectives? Our website was operating on an obsolete version of Drupal, and the cost of upgrading it was beyond our budget. SJ Innovation assisted us in transitioning to the WordPress platform, which offered greater flexibility and resulted in cost savings both initially and over time. The project is currently underway.
**SOLUTION** How did you choose this vendor, and what factors influenced your decision? We relied on referrals and selected companies to interview based on their online reviews and ratings. SJ Innovation distinguished itself through its high level of adaptability, comprehensive proposal and action plan, and exceptional customer service. They were prompt in addressing my inquiries and consistently checked in, demonstrating their commitment and reliability.
**Scope of Work** Describe the project details, including steps, key deliverables, and technologies used. We held a few preliminary meetings to clarify the scope of our website. The developers then outlined a detailed phased approach for completing the project.
**Team Interaction** How many individuals from the vendor's team collaborated with you, and what were their roles? I communicated with several project managers and developers, but I have one primary contact who provides weekly updates and progress reports.
**RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Can you share any measurable results from the project or general impressions of the deliverables? The website is still a work in progress, but I have had nothing but positive experiences with the team and the progress made thus far.
**Project Management** Describe their project management approach, including communication tools and timelines. They provide weekly progress reports, hold bi-weekly meetings, and schedule calls for urgent matters.
**Impressions** What impressed you the most or made this company unique? They stay on top of everything! In contrast to other companies I've worked with, which were initially enthusiastic but then became unresponsive and failed to complete the project, this team demonstrates dedication and consistently delivers results.
**Areas for Improvement** Are there any aspects they could improve or do differently? None that come to mind.
