Software Development Review from Francois Costa-Peretti
It's been a pleasure to work with Webamboos over the last two years, initially to build the MVP of our art marketplace and then to add new features and improve our product.At the start of our partnership, we had a few meetings with the Project Manager with whom we refined the Product Requirements and identified the core functionality for the MVP. During this time, Webamboos used their expertise to suggest improvements and point out any potential tech blockers early on.Once this was ready, the team built the MVP of the marketplace using a Javascript/TypeScript-based tech stack (Node.js / Next.js), while integrating a headless CMS (Strapi), payment processing (Stripe), and email API (SendGrid). As a product designer, I produced the designs and flows for the team to work on. Webamboos then converted the designs into functionality, working in 2-week sprints.The team actively suggests improvements rather than simply building without asking questions. This collaboration is key to creating great products, that are both technically robust and pleasant from a UX point of view. When we did run into issues (which is unavoidable when building a complex product), we could always count on the team to adapt and come up with solutions.This includes both allocating additional resources for important fixes and sharing knowledge from highly experienced team members that were working on a different project. Also, it is clear that everyone who works there is passionate about what they do, and truly wants your business to do well. This applies to everyone from the CEO (Max) to the PM (Raluca), Tech Lead (Arpad), and all the developers that have worked on FairArt at various stages (Alex, Daniel, Lucian, Laris, Mihai & Vladut). Much appreciated!In short: amazing team and fair prices - what's not to like?
