It takes some work translating from the project manager to developers due to a language barrier, but I believe this is an issue when you work with any company rather than talking directly to developers.
The CSS code could've been more resuable and less complex, but it started more as a sketch – so could've been ordered more clearly by us

Friendly and Reliable Service at a competitive rate.
I use Flexi for all of my front end design needs. Their rates are better than anyone available at the quality needed by a modern business. When I originally posted a job listing for a frontend position I had to wade through stacks of under qualified freelancers. Looking at Flexi they immediately rose to the top of that stack with a clean interface and code on their own business site. After a brief negotiation, they hit the ground running and were happy to resolve any issues promptly. Overall a stellar company to work with.

Other Industries
JARVIS is an AI-powered virtual assistant designed to automate everyday business workflows and simplify routine operations. The solution was built on the n8n automation platform, enabling flexible workflow orchestration and seamless integration with multiple services and APIs.
The project focused on creating an intelligent assistant capable of managing communication, scheduling tasks, retrieving information, and providing contextual responses based on user interactions.
Key Objectives
Automate email management and routine communication
Organise meetings, reminders, and calendar events
Retrieve information from external knowledge sources
Provide personalised responses using contextual memory
System Architecture
JARVIS operates as a system of specialised AI agents responsible for different tasks:
emailAgent – processes emails by reading, writing, replying, and organising inbox messages
calendarAgent – manages meetings, checks availability, and creates reminders
JarvisMemory – stores contextual data and user preferences
Core Capabilities
Intelligent query analysis to identify user intent and route tasks to the appropriate agent
Email automation that reduces time spent on repetitive communication tasks
Calendar management for scheduling and reminders
External data retrieval from sources such as Perplexity, SerpAPI, and Wikipedia

This platform is an all-in-one SaaS-based CRM system that provides users with all tools they need to run a real estate business. It’s specifically designed for landlords and other companies operating in the property sector, such as facility management agencies, hotels, and property maintenance service providers.
The system covers most typical workflows of the target audience, including lease administration, tenant management, and full-cycle billing & invoicing.
It’s an e-commerce tool for internet merchants. By scraping data from online stores, it allows digital retailers to monitor information about specific products offered in the target market and create their own digital strategies.
Our team developed this e-commerce tool from scratch. Now, it gathers information about 5.2 million products daily, helping online retailers overcome fierce competition. To enable such large-scale data processing, our team used modern technologies and designed a holistic architecture.
We developed an automated system for monitoring articles on a major website to track mentions of a client’s brand. The goal was to create a scalable solution capable of collecting article content, analysing mentions, and determining whether the brand appeared in a positive or negative context.
Manually tracking articles was inefficient due to the large volume of content being published. The client required an automated system that could continuously scan new articles, extract relevant data, and perform sentiment analysis.
Key Requirements
Monitor articles on a target website
Extract text and images from published articles
Ignore live streaming content
Detect brand mentions using keywords
Analyse sentiment of mentions (positive or negative)
Our Approach
We built a custom parser with a microservices architecture to ensure scalability and reliability. The system automatically scans the website, collects article links, and processes each article for content analysis.
System Components
URL Collector – gathers links to relevant articles
Article Parser – extracts text and images from pages
Context Analyzer – uses AI/ML to determine sentiment around brand mentions
Database – stores collected articles and analysis results
Cache System – improves performance and data access speed
Message Broker – enables communication between microservices
Technologies
Python, BeautifulSoup, Requests, MongoDB, Redis, Apache Kafka, Docker, GitLab CI/CD, and Sentry for error monitoring.
Results
Automated monitoring of brand mentions in online articles
AI-powered sentiment analysis for contextual insights
Scalable architecture capable of processing large volumes of content
Reliable monitoring supported by logging and error tracking systems
Banking Consult is a custom CRM system created for the reputable German recruitment agency and tailored precisely to its business processes. The solution helps the agency’s employees run different projects, search for candidates, and update the deal statuses. It also allows system administrators to manage content on three websites.
Our team built this CRM system from scratch. We have been working on this project for four years, created five user roles, and connected 191 third-party libraries.
We developed a reporting and forecasting platform designed to provide outsourcing companies with clear visibility into key business metrics. The system aggregates operational data from multiple internal tools and generates analytics that support resource planning, financial forecasting, and strategic decision-making.
Before implementing the solution, the client lacked a unified platform for analysing company data. Information was spread across several systems, making it difficult to forecast developer workloads, estimate revenue, and plan project capacity. Sales teams also had limited visibility into how many deals were required to utilise available resources effectively.
Key Objectives
Consolidate operational and financial data from multiple systems
Provide accurate workload and revenue forecasting
Generate KPI reports for management and operations teams
Detect anomalies in operational and financial data
Our Approach
We built a centralised analytics system that integrates data from platforms such as BambooHR, Jira, Pipedrive, Smart Recruiter, and internal company tools. The system processes real-time data and transforms it into structured reports and forecasts.
Core Features
Data aggregation from HR, sales, project tracking, and financial systems
Forecasting tools for workloads, revenue, and hiring needs
Flexible reporting by department, project, client, or employee
Cash flow and budget monitoring
AI-based anomaly detection using a Bidirectional LSTM Autoencoder
Technologies
Python, TensorFlow, MySQL, SQLite, BambooHR API, Jira API, Pipedrive API, Google Sheets API, and Slack integrations.
Results
Centralised access to operational and financial data
Improved forecasting accuracy for workloads and revenue
Better resource planning and decision-making
Automated anomaly detection for operational monitoring.
We built a modern e-commerce website for a luxury eyewear retailer using WordPress, WooCommerce, Elementor, and the Astra Theme. The store features product filtering by style, elegant visuals, and smooth UX - all optimised for conversion. A WordPress Developer from our team created the site from scratch, ensuring it's fast, responsive, and easy to manage via Elementor's visual editor.
Videos have proven to be more engaging, memorable, and persuasive than text and photo messages. This CRM system is designed to unleash the full potential of video content for businesses that sell visually unique goods such as real estate. It provides sales reps with all tools they need to easily record authentic videos and send them to leads and customers.
We took over the development of this CRM system about a year ago. Our task was to improve the solution, enrich its existing functionality, and build a custom Chrome extension from scratch.
The challenge was that this project has partly coincided with the world health crisis. But the client and our team decided to take a cooperative approach, so we didn’t cease the process. As a result, the system was successfully released and has already received its first users.
The Slack NDA Check Agent is an automated solution designed to streamline the review and analysis of Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs). The system integrates AI and workflow automation to reduce manual legal work, improve document analysis accuracy, and accelerate internal decision-making.
Manual NDA review often requires significant time and attention from legal teams. Large volumes of contracts increase the risk of missing important clauses and slow down operational processes. The implemented solution automates document processing and provides structured analysis directly within team communication workflows.
Key Objectives
Automate NDA review and analysis
Identify risky or ambiguous legal clauses
Reduce the workload on legal teams
Improve collaboration and transparency during document review
System Workflow
The solution operates through an automated workflow connected to Slack:
Slack Integration – uploading an NDA file to a designated Slack channel automatically triggers the analysis workflow
Document Processing – LlamaIndex structures and indexes document content for analysis
AI Analysis – OpenAI models analyse the contract and detect potential risks such as:
overly broad confidentiality terms
unlimited liability clauses
unfavourable governing laws
vague termination conditions or penalties
Real-Time Notifications – team members receive updates about the review process directly in Slack
Recommendations – the system generates suggestions and highlights risky sections of the contract
Document Revision – suggested changes can be applied in Google Docs, followed by automated stakeholder notifications
Technologies
n8n workflow automation, Slack API, LlamaIndex, OpenAI, Google Docs integration, HTTP API workflows.
Results
Faster NDA review and processing
Reduced risk of overlooking critical contract clauses
Improved collaboration between legal and operational teams
AI-assisted decision-making for contract evaluation.
MegaSchool is a digital platform that enables distance education. But it’s far more than a typical CMS. This learning content management system allows students to receive a full-fledged learning experience, communicate with teachers and complete assignments - all without being physically present at a school.
Technologies:
Programming Language: PHP
Backend Framework: Laravel
Frontend: Vue.js
Database: MySQL
We took over the MegaSchool project 2.5 years ago. Our team has refactored low-quality code and built a lot of new features. Our company still provides continuous tech support to this client.
We developed an automated lead generation system for a company building online education platforms. The goal was to identify potential customers on Reddit and improve the efficiency of the client’s sales process.
Reddit contains many discussions about online learning, EdTech tools, and educational platforms, making it a valuable source of potential leads. However, manually monitoring discussions, analysing posts, and qualifying potential customers required significant time and effort from the sales team.
Key Requirements
Monitor relevant Reddit communities in real time
Identify users searching for online education solutions
Automatically qualify and prioritise leads
Integrate lead data with the client’s CRM system
Our Approach
We built an AI-powered automation system using the n8n platform. The system continuously monitors selected subreddits related to EdTech and online learning using the Reddit API.
Implemented Features
Automated Reddit monitoring to track discussions and extract relevant posts
AI-based filtering to remove irrelevant content and low-quality leads
Two-step lead qualification process with AI analysis and scoring
Lead scoring system (0–100) that evaluates conversion potential and assigns priority levels
CRM integration with structured JSON data for easy lead management
The system stores analysis results in a PostgreSQL database via Supabase, allowing the sales team to manage leads efficiently.
Results
Over 1,000 Reddit posts analysed daily
Improved lead quality and prioritisation
Faster identification of high-value opportunities
Scalable lead generation process powered by automation
It’s an all-in-one real estate solution for German landlords who own luxury property and prospective tenants who are looking for rental apartments in this country. The platform comprises a booking tool, a CRM system, and a Laravel-based partner website for owners of housing units.
We started working on this project four years ago when an MVP had already been released. Our team fixed errors, built an admin panel and a website, made five integrations, and developed a number of new features. We also optimized a booking system to improve its Google PageSpeed score and user experience.
We developed a corporate website for Marketsquare, a digital advertising agency based in Copenhagen. The goal was to create a modern, high-performance WordPress site that would be easy to manage for non-technical users while maintaining strong performance and clean architecture.
The client provided a detailed brief with design mockups, UI specifications, and functional requirements. This allowed us to estimate the project accurately and deliver the solution efficiently with minimal revisions.
Key Requirements
Easy content editing through the admin panel without coding
Fully responsive design for desktop, tablet, and mobile devices
Minimal use of plugins and a clean WordPress architecture
Version control using Git and Bitbucket
Compatibility with modern browsers (Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox)
High performance and fast loading speed
Our Approach
To ensure flexibility and ease of use, we built the website using a modular architecture based on ACF Flexible Content. This allowed pages to be created and modified using reusable modules without affecting other parts of the website.
Implemented Features
Custom modular system enabling users to build and edit pages from reusable components
Video module supporting YouTube and Vimeo content with interactive hover effects
Latest Cases module highlighting recent case studies with animations
Employees module displaying team members with interactive hover states

An intelligent document processing platform was developed for a commodity trading company handling large volumes of contracts, invoices, and trade confirmations. The goal was to automate document handling, reduce manual data entry, and ensure high accuracy while maintaining regulatory compliance.
The organisation processed thousands of documents monthly across multiple formats, including PDF, XLSX, JPG, and DOCX. Manual processing created delays, increased the risk of costly errors, and made document retrieval difficult during audits or operational reviews.
Key Objectives
Automate processing of contracts, invoices, and trade confirmations
Extract and structure information from complex documents
Improve document search and retrieval speed
Ensure compliance and reliable audit trails
Solution Architecture
A scalable AI-powered document processing system based on microservices architecture was implemented.

An AI chatbot was developed for a rapidly growing e-commerce platform built on WordPress and WooCommerce. The goal was to automate customer support, improve product discovery, and handle a large volume of user queries without increasing support team workload.
The platform faced thousands of daily enquiries about products, delivery, returns, and warranties. Traditional support processes could not scale to meet 24/7 customer expectations, while the complex product catalogue made it difficult to deliver fast and accurate product recommendations.

Please introduce your company and give a brief about your role within the company?
Flexi IT is a team of professionals specializing in Web development and Business Analysis services. Our service is well-organized for Entrepreneurs. Most of our clients are from United Kingdom, Israel, Netherlands, and Canada. I'm Anton Cherevko CEO and Founder of Flexi IT. I have 8+ years experience in IT field.
What is your company’s business model–in house team or third party vendors/ outsourcing?
Currently, we have 15 team members working under one roof. Our company positions itself as an entirely in-house team. The first reason we chose to operate like this is it aids something central to our way of working. Through working together as a team in one office space, we drastically reduced the time it takes to collaborate and problem solve on a daily basis. Through being located in one space, it keeps the team working in cohesion and ensures that we continually deliver an excellent level of service to clients. When members of the team struggle to communicate it can create serious problems, but by working together in one space this never happens. Communication is fundamental to our company ethos.
Secondly, this way of working preserves the knowledge base within the business. Technical knowledge is easy to lose when a team becomes fragmented and split up, so by working within the same space we constantly collaborate and share thoughts and skills. Not only does this help build an intellectual foundation for future projects, but it nurtures the growth and development of each team member. Lastly, keeping things in-house maintains our company culture, which we’re fiercely protective of. It’s what makes us unique. We maintain control over timescales, quality control and every other aspect of a project, something which becomes difficult if a third party is introduced. Plus, everyone in the team has their own specific specialty, but we encourage them to problem-solve together. It creates a better way of working, meaning that we can offer our clients a well-rounded, efficient team of professionals to take care of their project from start to finish.
How is your business model beneficial from a value addition perspective to the clients compared to other companies' models?
There are four key points that highlight this within our business model:
Communication - Our project managers take responsibility for translating the client’s request from an idea into reality. From initial briefings to fine-tuning the end result, they pride themselves on not only their impeccable bilingual skills but also their prompt handling of client communications.
Keeping promises - Honesty is the best policy. That’s why we never agree to something that we can’t do. Whether it is a minor detail that a client specifically requests, or meeting a very tight deadline. We are proud to be a transparent business, and offer our clients a service that they can trust.
Truth - We hate manipulative sales techniques that our competitors use, that’s why we’re totally upfront and honest with our clients from day one. Throughout the development process we keep them updated with our thoughts on the project, any slippery moments and potential obstacles. This way we’re both on the same page, and walking through the project together.
Openness - We don’t hide anything from our clients. If the client wants to meet the whole team and get to know our faces, we arrange a conference to introduce ourselves. They want to visit the office? Not a problem, we’re happy to welcome them in with a cup of coffee and some biscuits. They’re trusting us with their project, so it’s important they have the chance to meet the talented people working on it.
What industries do you generally cater to? Are your customers repetitive?
The majority of our work focuses around dealing with CRM systems and development, as well as real estate booking projects.
Mention the objectives or the parameters critical in determining the time frame of developing a web app.
There are certain parameters which are taken into consideration to decide the time frame:
Functional Specification: With this step we are able to give a broad estimation of the project time, but this is a very general estimation and is always subject to change.
UX design: This step gives us around a 50% certainty of how long the project will take.
UI design: A particularly important step, here we get can give a time frame that we’d be 70% certain of.
Understanding using which technologies we will implement into the project: The practical step that gives a much clearer estimation, as we know what technologies will be deployed throughout the project’s lifetime.
Understanding who will be in the team. (Specific people from the team): Here, we will be 90% certain of the delivery date for the project, as the perfect team members for the task are selected and allocated appropriately. After that we will be able to break the project down into different areas, milestones and tasks.
Further, we create a Gantt chart to create an overview of the process, so each process can be outlined and we can observe what tasks will run parallel and separately. After this stage is complete, and tasks have been allocated, we will be 98% certain of a final delivery date. The last 2% of this time will be left as a variable depending on human factors that cannot be implemented into the project outline.
How much effort in terms of time goes into developing the front end and back end of a web app?
This is highly dependent on the specific project and it’s impossible to give a general answer. Each project is different, and comes with unique features and challenges that absorb different amounts of time.
What are the key parameters to be considered before selecting the right platform for a web application?
The complexity and desired functionality of each project has a significant impact on the platform that it is built on. For example, frameworks like Laravel are better suited for private-use CRM systems. For online commercial systems, it is better to focus on pure programming language than a predetermined framework. This way we deliver exactly what the client needs. The same is with CMS systems. If we consider eCommerce we definitely suggest OpenCart or WooCommerce. But if we speak about a blog or corporate website which should be easily manageable, Wordpress will always be a good option. It is entirely dependant on the needs and wants of the client, which we interpret using our expert knowledge to find the perfect platform or hand-built solution.
Which platform and technologies do you prefer to use in development of your web apps?
We prefer to use Laravel, CakePHP, Angular.js/Vue.js/Node.js and Pure PHP Development.
Do you offer website design templates or customised website design, and do you have a responsive website design?
Web design is not a primary focus of our service offering, but all websites and web apps developed by us are fully responsive and functional.
Which Content Management System do you prefer to use (Wordpress, Jumla, Drupal etc)?
We would always prefer to use either Wordpress or OpenCart. These offer accessibility to clients, whilst remaining versatile platforms that can meet the demands of modern web browsing.
Do you provide website maintenance services?
Yes, we are happy to offer this service to our clients. Our team of experts have extensive experience in website maintenance across a spectrum of platforms.
What are the key factors that you consider before deciding the cost of a web application?
Project cost absolutely depends on the development time. This is the one and only factor that has a bearing on the final cost of a project. We don’t make random figures up to exploit a client, we only charge for the work and time that we dedicate to their project. They’re giving us their hard-earned money to deliver something that is integral to their daily lives, and their trust is something we value extremely highly.
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.)
We offer a number of payment solutions depending on the however the client feels comfortable. We’re happy to explore options with each individual client, ensuring that they’re getting the end result that they want, without paying for it in one lump sum straight away. Popular payment schedules are Pay per Milestone, Pay per Phase & Pay per Month
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?
For our new clients our minimum project budget is 800 USD. Our regular clients don’t have a minimum project spend, we really appreciate their loyalty, and enjoy the relationships that we build with them.
