Web Development
We have been working continuously with Apiko since September 2019 on an eCommerce development project.
As the marketing manager of a manufacturing company specializing in sub-components for various industries including medical, automotive, and aerospace, we faced a significant challenge due to our weak online presence, particularly our outdated e-commerce capabilities. Seeking a solution, we turned to Apiko to modernize our simple WordPress website and propel it into the 21st century.
Apiko was tasked with constructing a new website from the ground up, following designs and frontend frameworks developed in collaboration with another company focused on design and user experience. Our engagement with Apiko involved direct collaboration with a core team of three—comprising a frontend developer, a backend developer, and a project manager—supplemented by short-term contributions from specialists like a quality control professional and a graphic designer, totaling five to six team members.
Our selection of Apiko was influenced by their prominence in Google searches related to our project and their expertise with the Reaction Commerce framework. This, combined with positive interactions with their sales team and project staff, solidified our decision to commence this partnership in September 2019.
The most tangible impact of our collaboration with Apiko has been a noticeable increase in quality leads via our website. The enhancement of our online presence has shifted market perceptions, moving us away from being seen as a smaller entity focused on minor projects to a company capable of handling significant undertakings, primarily attracting quotes from larger companies—a notable improvement.
Project management with Apiko has been seamless, facilitated by constant communication through Slack, the use of Jira for project oversight, and Github for code repository management, supplemented by bi-weekly conference calls.
Apiko stands out for their deployment of high-quality developers who deliver efficient, error-free code, ensuring we're matched with the right resources for any new skill requirements. Moreover, their competitive pricing significantly aids in justifying the project's ongoing nature to stakeholders.
For potential clients considering Apiko, our advice is to engage with them. Their honesty about their capabilities ensures they only undertake projects they are confident they can deliver on, a rarity in this industry.
