The functionality of the website far exceeded our expectations. Sales have increased exponentially, and we’re happy with the significantly improved conversion rate.
Overall, we’re pleased with what Temper And Forge has done to our platform in terms of its searchability and accessibility. On top of that, we’ve had an aggressive timeline for the project’s first phase, but they’ve met it.
How did Temper And Forge perform from a project management standpoint?
The budget for this project was clear and transparent, and we didn’t experience any unexpected fluctuations — additional functionalities realized after launch was handled as a warranty claim, so we maintained the original budget.
Temper And Forge was one of the most professional companies I’ve ever worked with, as they were highly responsive to our feedback, concerns, and changes we needed to make.
We typically interfaced through Monday.com, email, phone, and video calls.
What did you find most impressive about them?
We were impressed with their consistent communication and how they were able to address our feedback simultaneously.
Are there any areas they could improve?
The team could’ve provided a more in-depth review of the project before jumping into the development phase.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
To get the most out of your engagement with Temper And Forge, I recommend fully understanding the platform you want to build and being concise with the results you want to achieve.
