Kirill Sidorov
CEO
Please introduce your company and give a brief about your role within the organization.

Probably, I am a co-founder and CEO.
Probably, I am a co-founder and CEO.
What is the story behind starting this company?
I and my business partner have a lot of experience in project management and we wanted to create a company, which will develop web-projects based on analytics and data. It was in 2014 and Steven Hawking was very popular and interesting for us, so we named the company in his honor.
What are your company’s business model–in house team or third party vendors/ outsourcing?
We work only with an in-house team because we feel there is more synergy. Also, we have our own school where we prepare junior-developers. Our employees always follow new technologies and improve their professional skills. We are often invited to professional conferences, where we read reports and train colleagues.
How does your company differentiate itself from the competition?
Our company has a strong project management department and a high level of discipline. The best we do is a PHP- and JS- development so we focus on it. Also, we have great experience with advertising and promo projects and we know how it is important to start marketing campaigns on time.
What industries do you generally cater to? Are your customers repetitive? If yes, what ratio of clients has been repetitive to you?
In general, we cater to different types of projects. Our analytics department dives into detail of clients' business and finds solutions. So we don’t focus on one branch of business, Hawking Bros team can cover the needs of different client types.
Please share some of the services that you offer for which clients approach you the most for?
- Pre-project analytics
- UI/UX
- Web-design
- Frontend-development (React, Vue, Vanilla)
- Backend-development (Laravel, Yii2, Bitrix)
- QA
- Software documentation
We can cover all web-project stages from documentation till launch and technical support.
What is your customer satisfaction rate according to you? What steps do you take to cater to your customer’s needs and requirements?
We have a high satisfaction rate. I personally control the quality of client service and collect feedback. If we have some problems with a project we do our best to solve them and satisfy a client.
What kind of support system do you offer to your clients for catering to their queries and issues?
Projects, which we develop, have a one-year warranty. All clients have a personal manager, who consults them through e-mail or comfortable messengers. Also, we provide video-calls and conferences.
What kind of payment structure do you follow to bill your clients? Is it Pay per Feature, Fixed Cost, Pay per Milestone (could be in phases, months, versions etc.)
The payment Structure is based on client requirements and project features. Mostly we work with fix-price, but some projects have monthly milestones with T&M or team retainer format. We are ready to discuss payment terms and be flexible in this matter.
Do you take in projects which meet your basic budget requirement? If yes, what is the minimum requirement? If no, on what minimum budget you have worked for?
Yes, the minimum budget we work with is a 10 000$ per contract.
What is the price range (min and max) of the projects that you catered to in 2020?
The Minimum was 10 000$ and the maximum 160 000$. In 2021 we already have signed contracts for 300 000$.
Where do you see your company in the next 10 years?
I am sure we will be the best PHP-development company in Russia with offices in different regions and branch offices in Europe and the USA. We do a lot for our clients and team and will never stop evolving!

Hawking Bros is superb dudes in web development
Review Summary
We worked with Hawking Bros on a version for the visually impaired and integration of payment systems. Most of all, we appreciate the efficiency of the team's work and the ability to clearly follow the set principles of work. I think this is due to well-built management and healthy perfectionism.
Partners from Hawking Bros did everything on time, adequately evaluated the tasks and did not "disappear from the radar". So I can say about the team that they will not let you down. I will also emphasize that any question or new task, no matter how large it is or not, is quickly answered and responded to by the team.
I recommend them to collaborate.

Hawking Bros is really excellent and professional web development team!
Review Summary
It is very important for me that the external team that I outsource tasks, meets the deadlines by 100%, completes all tasks exactly according to the brief, and offers ways to optimize work on a particular block of work. If we agree that the work, taking into account the nuances, wishes, adjustments and features of the project, will be done, conditionally, by Monday at 10 am, this means that on Monday I will have accepted the task completed by the team on this day and at this time. This principle is at the base of my contractor selection strategy. And Hawking Bros fits in perfectly.
Also, talking about Hawking Bros, I would like to praise the team for a clear prioritization of work and quality. Design, technical work-layout and programming are always performed at the highest level.
I would also like to highlight the approach to project management, which is one of the most important peculiarities for me. I always estimate the approach to me, as to a customer, from the point of view of detailed assessment and elaboration of the task, both at the initial stage of the project, and at the stage when the project is already launched.
Project management in the Hawking Bros team is really very strong, because nothing is forgotten, everything is fixed and done on time. For this, a special thank you to the founders, Egor and Kirill, because they have built the processes in such way that the customer always feels calm and confident.

Good Job!
Review Summary
It was vital for our project to launch the website on schedule and it wouldn’t be possible without Hawking Bros. Hardly were there any editings and it was clear that HB team held a QA test. They even helped us with additional tasks even after completing all the job and after payment. We were glad to know that we can ask for some trivia and get response as soon as before.
The team even implemented some additional functions that weren’t mentioned in the Technical Requirements and that we hadn’t discussed before. Eventually it helped us very much when we needed to make some specific adjustments to the website. We didn’t have to deal with the code ourselves or to spend our developers’ time because manager and programmer from HB thought outside the box. Thus they facilitated our future job. Such level of engagement speaks for itself.

Review Summary
We acquainted with Hawking Bros team via recommendation. They responded to our request rapidly, estimated the task and structurized the roadmap of the project. We agreed on the deadlines and conditions: we needed to relaunch our corporate website ASAP. During all the period of the work with Hawking Bros their managing partner kept in touch with us. The process was progressing quickly and all our updates and desires were taken into consideration and integrated. High rate of work is the strength of the team. They even helped us with additional tasks even after completing all the job and after payment.
I will recommend this team in future.
