Web DevelopmentWeb Design

We hired UPQODE to completely redesign and develop our company website — 17 page templates across 42 total pages built on WordPress. The goal was to modernize our online presence and better represent our position in the federal technology space. UPQODE's project management has been outstanding. They assigned a full team including a dedicated project manager, creative director, UI/UX designer, and developers. Communication was clear and consistent, and their use of Figma for design collaboration made the feedback process seamless. The design work was impressive. They understood our brand, audience, and competitive landscape, and delivered strong homepage concepts that captured exactly what we were looking for. The project has stayed on schedule, moving from design into active development on time. Their team is responsive, professional, and genuinely invested in quality results. We highly recommend UPQODE for any website redesign project.

This year our company underwent an entire brand refresh–so we hired UPQODE to design and develop a new website for us to replace our old one from 2018. They were extremely collaborative, flexible, and communicative the entire way through, and we are very pleased with our new website and ongoing partnership.

UPQODE successfully delivered a functional website and easy-to-update order forms, helping the client place more orders through their new site. The team tackled each challenge and was patient, understanding, and responsive. The team's expertise in dealing with complex functionalities stood out. UPQODEs' responses to our needs were outstanding. The task of creating our new web site was incredibly complex, more so than either side imagined it would be. Together we hit many road blocks but worked through all of them. Alina and her team could not have been more patient, understanding, and supportive in puzzling through every issue we came accross. Alina and her team would often have to propose multiple soultions to various issues and allowed me to choose amongst them. Sometimes, Alina and I would finally puzzle through something together during an online meeting. The project did take longer than expected due to the complexity and also delays on my end.

We worked with Upqode to help design and develop the website. We gave them some starting material, which included our new branding Style Guide, a homepage mock up, a new site architecture with references to our old website (pages that we were converting), and a list of tools we wanted integrated. We discussed this on a kick off call and then Upqode started with designing each of the pages using the reference material. Once a page was approved for design, they started development. Once we had all of the pages built with dummy content, we were given the website to upload our content. They continued to provide support post-launch to iron out any bugs that were missed in their pre-migration QC.

UPQODE provided incredible service in helping us redesign and develop our website. Their designers are so talented and can take amorphous suggestions and turn them into exactly what you envisioned. Our Project Manager, George, was so responsive and had a great personality that made the team a joy to work with. They would complete tasks almost immediately after we asked for them, and the quality of the work surpassed even our wildest expectations.

I am the founder, CEO, and Creative Director (Creator). Ideas Generator.

What is the story behind starting this company?

During the university, I and my brother started to learn PHP Programming language and this on our own :)  How does that happen? My brother got a proposal from a company to learn PHP and eventually administrate their website. So he said let us learn together! After a few lessons, one of my professors at the University proposed I administrate one website.

So I started as a web developer at the university, even if my faculty specialty was in telecommunications :) Then I started to work as a freelancer taking over more and more web development projects. I like solving problems, as well as providing web programming solutions. Besides the fact that  I enjoyed what I was doing the remuneration was not bad compared to other types of jobs.

Later I won the green card and moved to the US, here together with one of my school colleagues we started to create HTML/CSS Website Templates and WordPress Themes and sell them on such marketplaces as ThemeForest. At that time I was generating innovative and I would say unique ideas regarding UI/UX Design websites for different industries and niches. I got to create some custom UI/UX websites for end customers and decided to create UPQODE as a  Web Agency specializing at the beginning only in unique custom Websites Design and Development.

What are your company’s business model–in house team or third party vendors/ outsourcing?

Hybrid Model: in-house team and third-party vendors.

How does your company differentiate itself from the competition?

I believe through our projects' results -  the quality, and communication we do provide. We offer a full spectrum of services starting from digital project management, branding, UI/UX Web style Guides, Web Development Solutions, Apps, Web accessibility, SEO and Content Strategy, and Monthly Website Maintenance. Having all this knowledge we are able to provide our clients with complete solutions for their web presence. Our websites do not only feel and look good, they convert, they are scalable including integrations and functionality, they are SEO friendly, they are Secured, and can be ADA accessibility compliant.

What industries do you generally cater to? Are your customers repetitive? If yes, what ratio of clients has been repetitive to you?

Since our foundation in 2015, we have led 250+ sophisticated WordPress projects for small and medium-large businesses in tech, marketing, design, non-profit, arts, consumer, real estate, healthcare, and medical, service providers, e-commerce, financial services, and other industries.

Around 80% +  of clients are repetitive. We like to say about us  Refer us and be someone's hero!

Please share some of the services that you offer for which clients approach you the most for?

Services:
  • Brand guidelines.
  • Custom website UI/UX design and web style guide creation.
  • WordPress Development.
  • Headless WordPress development.
  • Online shops and eCommerce.
  • Multilingual and multisite expertise.
  • SEO-friendly websites.
  • WordPress/WooCommerce support and maintenance.
  • Webflow Design and Development.
  • Shopify Ecommerce Design and Development.
  • Full SEO including Content Strategy.

What is your customer satisfaction rate according to you? What steps do you take to cater to your customer’s needs and requirements?

We take over any project only when we are 120% sure that we are capable to deliver the expected result.

UPQODE stays in our client's corner. We go that extra mile to help our clients succeed, and even help them look good and impress the other people in their world (customers, associates, etc.).

Saving our customers time and energy is our main scope. That's why we try to provide optimal solutions and good response communication time. We understand the business goals and deliver them according to their business values.

What kind of support system do you offer to your clients for catering to their queries and issues?

In order to provide the most efficient Communication between the Client and UPQODE we use the following tools:
Product Discussions, Task Management, Invoicing:
  • ActiveCollab
Project Progress Document:
  • Google Spreadsheet
Project Meetings Communication:
  • Zoom
Collaboration on the UI/UX Design Phase
  • Invision

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.)

Depending on the project scope. Known/Unknown Variables. Client Screening - it may be an hourly rate-based project, Pay per Feature, Fixed Cost, Pay per Milestone (Phases). We try to be flexible here knowing that different clients have different expectations and different past experiences. Many times we take over unfinished projects where the clients may have had not the best experience, therefore we understand their precautious measures. What I try to say here we find the most optimal approach in our relationship with clients. Only a win-win approach.

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?

This depends on different factors such as team availability, the team sitting on the bench, etc. At this moment we try not to take projects less than 5k. Besides budget, we do client screening, client expected delivery timeline. Besides clients, our people are the most valuable part of the company. Taking over not the right project may demotivate them. Therefore, from our experience sometimes is better to say NO to a client.

What is the price range (min and max) of the projects that you catered to in 2021?

10k-50k.

Where do you see your company in the next 10 years?

It’s really hard to say in 10 years, with the fastest growing industry in the world like IT. 
Short-Long, we are planning to focus on adding more services and creating more Products.
