The selection of the correct pricing is directly related to the selection of the development methodology and must be consistent with the requirements and objectives of the project, as well as the overall costs incurred by the developer.
In our experience, small opportunities may lead to long-term and fruitful partnerships, so if we feel like we are a good match for the client, we may lower the bar of the entry budget, so it is a variable rather than a constant value.

Review Summary
What was the project name that you have worked with Five Jars?
Online Scheduler for Oil Production Company
Describe your project in brief
There are three main units in the system: employees, units and shifts. Every employee is assigned to one or several units and always stays informed of his shifts — when, how many hours and with what team he is assigned to work. The employee can also trade his shifts, watch trade suggestions, read news and communicate with colleagues via an internal messenger or on the forum.
What is it about the company that you appreciate the most?
I was afraid my lack of technical background would make it hard for me to follow project progress but PM was brilliant.
I knew what was happening at every step of the way.
We had regular weekly calls with the project manager on Zoom, and the main communication was via email or Slack.
What was it about the company that you didn't like which they should do better?
Our partnership with Five Jars has been so productive that I have absolutely nothing to recommend to them.
This is a real partnership when the development team becomes part of the business.

What was the project name that you have worked with Five Jars?
Web-to-print solution for print shop
Describe your project in brief
The team of Five Jars has developed a frontend and backend for our web tool to create print layouts. It includes several mockups for products: standard mug, standard water bottle, standard T-shirt, badge and several more items. The user can choose the color of the object, its size and load print and edit it in the print field (zoom in, decrease, move), add a custom text or choose from ready-made clipart such as flowers and hearts. The editor allows you to make simple manipulations with the user-loaded picture like cropping it, making it brighter or paler, imposing a few simple filters or making a picture black and white. The editor allows you to upload most of the popular formats of pictures. After a user-designed a layout and chose the date of redemption of the goods, we receive an order with a completed document on the side of the administrator panel and we convey the goods to print.
What is it about the company that you appreciate the most?
We communicated on Skype and chatted in Slack, also Trello and Jira were used to track progress.
I can easily interact with the team, since we have no problems with the language barrier and the guys are always ready to listen to my requests.
The team is not afraid to take on difficult tasks, since many years of experience are on their side.
What was it about the company that you didn't like which they should do better?
I have nothing to say about this. This is a real partnership when the development team becomes part of the business.
Five Jars is very easy to work with! Their communication and work experience is impressive. Recommend!
Review Summary
What was the project name that you have worked with Five Jars?
Web Platform for Conducting Online Lessons
Describe your project in brief
Our platform serves for conducting online meetings. At its core, there is a learning “room” that consists of a whiteboard and a web call possibility. The users create a room where they write text, draw and talk to each other in online mode. Any person can create their room or access the room they need by entering its name. Our Five Jars team provides a comfortable learning process by redesigning and making an intuitive layout with an adjusted whiteboard and responsive instruments enhancing such basic operations as undo, redo, zooming, selecting, moving objects, and others. Five Jars have implemented the possibility of group calls with the ability to share and record the screen, write text and draw objects on the board during a call, and basic operations with the board.
What is it about the company that you appreciate the most?
Five Jars is very easy to work with! Recommend! We talked in Slack and periodically called up.
What was it about the company that you didn't like which they should do better?

Philadelphia Family Events Aggregator MVP
Describe your project in brief
My wife and I came up with this startup at a time when we got tired of searching the Internet every weekend for events where we could entertain our children. At that moment, we decided to make a website that would collect information about events in our city and facilitate the process of finding family entertainment. We decided to start with our community and, if successful, make separate versions of sites for other cities.
What is it about the company that you appreciate the most?
I'm satisfied with the MVP we've done with the Five Jars team. I am currently looking for an investor for this project.
We had Skype calls several times, but most of the time I prefer text messages.
What was it about the company that you didn't like which they should do better?
I think the team needs to expand the development staff because sometimes the implementation of a feature was delayed due to other projects.
They are open to ideas and willing to innovate themselves.

Video creation automation tool for YouTube Production Company
Describe your project in brief
Our small web internal video editor project includes a fairly standard video editor interface with a timeline and a preview window.

The Five Jars team has done a great job taking our first steps in digital transformation with us
Review Summary
Describe your project in brief
We needed to create a web application for customers that would make it easier and more convenient to order the necessary materials (various types of packaging), track stock balances and find out the current status of their orders. For a long time, we used spreadsheets for databases and the company's customers sent their orders in Excel or CSV format, and this was processed manually by the company's specialist. It was inconvenient for us and for our clients. With the onset of the pandemic, the demand for carton packaging has skyrocketed as a large number of purchases have been made online. Our goal was to simplify and speed up the experience of our customers in ordering and customizing carton packaging as much as possible.
What is it about the company that you appreciate the most?
They easily get in touch and at any time are ready to discuss the details of the project at the level of understanding of the client.
Throughout the work with us, our project manager is in touch every day, who always knows the status of each task and at what stage the development is.
We have gone from spreadsheets to a stunning modern product with Five Jars.
What was it about the company that you didn't like which they should do better?
I have absolutely nothing to say about this, except that Five Jars needs to increase the development staff, as they have more and more projects, as fa
They dive into the project deep, suggest ideas and implement them.

Describe your project in brief
Our e-commerce website is dedicated to selling paintings and custom frames to art consultants and interior designers. The site is based on simple Drupal CMS software and an e-commerce plugin.
What is it about the company that you appreciate the most?
The Five Jars team are real partners, not performers. They dive into the project deep, suggest ideas and implement them.
The designer of the team created a modern and attractive design based on our wishes.
We also found them in several rankings and articles of the best web developers.
We could control the development progress in Jira and use Adobe XD for the design.
What was it about the company that you didn't like which they should do better?
Working with them was an amazing experience so I have nothing to say.
I wanted to implement an online sale and delivery of flowers from my flower store.
Review Summary
The Five Jars team has developed an online flower store with an admin panel and user profiles. As an administrator, I can change item cards, add or remove them, accept payments, and track the status of an order. The users can make an online purchase of any item, edit their profile and track the delivery status. The team used Drupal to create the store, and they also implemented a Stripe payment system.
The design team has created a modern and lightweight design that reflects the concept of buying flowers as a daily pleasure.
What was the project name that you have worked with Five Jars?

All team members were responsive and enthusiastic. It was a pleasure working with Five Jars.
