Kicking Off

The Challenge

  • What challenge were you trying to address with Clap Creative?

    We needed help migrating a platform from Magento 1 to Magento 2, and with its maintenance. Initially, someone else was handling the maintenance but they had trouble keeping it secure, and our in-house developer wanted us to do the migration but couldn’t do it himself. We needed to get the site back online with proper security measures in place.

Solution

The Approach

  • What was the scope of their involvement?

    We have a lot of orders, customers, and data on the site that needed to be dealt with, as well as a frontend that had to be kept in the same layout. They migrated the backend and kept the frontend as we wanted. They oversaw the process dealt with any issues or surprises that arose, doing any customization that we required. We have a month-to-month maintenance plan, as well as an SEO package, customizations, and migrations.

  • What is the team composition?

    I work with two people and my direct contact is DK (President, Clap Creative).

  • How did you come to work with Clap Creative?

    I looked online for someone local and saw that Clap Creative had good reviews. A lot of the people I called claimed they had experts but didn’t have people in-house. Most of them are offshore companies too. I needed someone local that I could reliably call.

  • What is the status of this engagement?

    We started working together in January 2017, and the work is ongoing.

Achievement

The Outcome

  • What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

    We didn’t lose any data in the migration. They were able to handle it in a timely manner and kept the process professional. When a site moves from one platform to another, the extensions can have issues here and there, but Clap Creative was patient with cleaning up everything and getting it back to normal. A lot of companies aren’t willing to migrate custom information, but they did it for us, which I appreciate. It was a success.

  • How did Clap Creative perform from a project management standpoint?

    Project management is professional. We outline the steps and prioritize them, which keeps it pretty organized. We know what we need and what needs to be changed. They don’t skip any steps, and always deliver on time. If we have any uploading issues or an update that’s needed, I contact them day or night. If we’re doing some customization, I might be in communication for the whole day. It varies and it depends on my schedule as well; some weeks we work really closely and some weeks we don’t have to because there’s nothing wrong with the site.

  • What did you find most impressive about them?

    They have the skills that we need, as well as good communication

  • Are there any areas they could improve?

    No, they perform to our expectations. We can rely on them.

  • Do you have any advice for potential customers?

    Discuss what you’re looking for in detail and be aware of the whole scope of your project. Do your own research so you can understand what you want and what your expectations are. Communicate clearly, using examples from previous work if possible.

The team completed the Magento migration successfully, with no data loss and all issues resolved before the site was delivered. They are a professional, knowledgeable team that always makes themselves available when needed, demonstrating a high skill level in development.
