Overall the project took about seven months, I was calculating about six, so I was happy with the turnaround. My programmer was always online and I could contact him everyday. But, it was really nice that vteams managed all the details like making sure he was there and calculating his 40 hours a week.
Building my analytic-based e-commerce site with vteams was a great experience from the beginning. I chose them because I knew completing the project myself would’ve killed me. I’m just a one-man shop and I knew needed some extra programming help.
Before I even started my project, Mark spent about three hours on the phone with me to get a complete understanding of what the project would entail and what I wanted to accomplish. He spent about a month gathering resumes and sent over 4-5 for me to review. He really directed me to the programmer I ended up choosing because he explained that this programmer had web application experience which would be helpful for my project.
Even though the programmer I selected was the best fit, my project was really complex. It was not like a typical e-commerce site, it was much more analytics based, so it was still difficult to train him and to help him understand how I wanted it to be done. The most complex part was the billing system, it was very complex. For this and some other pieces I needed to help with the code, and be on the phone with my programmer, but then it was easier for him to understand. Sometimes, we had to go back and forth 3-4 times before we were able to get things the way I wanted. But, once he was able to fully grasp what we were trying to do, everything was great.
Overall the project took about seven months, I was calculating about six, so I was happy with the turnaround. My programmer was always online and I could contact him everyday. But, it was really nice that vteams managed all the details like making sure he was there and calculating his 40 hours a week. It made it way easier on me. I never had to worry about it I knew he was always going to be there.
I could’ve easily kept the programmer on for another month to help me fix all the minor glitches, but I figured it best to get some paying clients onboard first. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with vteams again. As a matter of fact, they’re already helping me find a designer for a new project I’m starting on soon.
