Sunflower Lab

They worked with me to bring my idea to life. When you’re looking for a developer you want your original idea to be the final product and be in control of the process. Sunflower Lab allowed me to maintain control energy step of the way and never forced me in a direction that made the project easier for them and different from what I wanted. Our communication and dialogue was consist and never skipped a beat.

Overall, Sunflower Lab has been a pretty good development partner. They took my idea from concept to an operational application and it came out pretty close to what I had imagined. At the end of my project, I was not completely satisfied with where things had been left. The management at Sunflower Lab went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of and that our application was finished up to standard. While they were not perfect - the management's efforts to make appropriate changes promptly helped the experience as our project progressed.

Here is a list of pros and cons - understand we have been working together for over a year now so many improvements have been made throughout that period:

PROS:
-Organized methodology for conceptualizing the application
-Very open to listening and understanding the project requirements
-Added miscellaneous functionality that was very creative that helped the application flow better
-Managed scope creep very well, kept the project on target as much as possible

CONS:
-A lot of backtracking due to spelling mistakes and/or development errors
-Went slightly over on project budget and time
-Billing and project management hours need major improvements in transparency. There was lots of confusion and questions on hours billed and what has been worked on in those hours.

The bottom line, they have some areas to improve but they are acknowledging these areas and making constant improvements to their processes and abilities. We are happy with the work they have done and will continue using Sunflower Labs as our development partner in the foreseeable future. We are looking forward to seeing the improvements made when we kick off our next round of development. Great job overall by the Sunflower Lab team!
