i-Drills Website development – Selesti Style!

Design and development gather pace with updates and redesigns coming in more and more frequent intervals from Selesti Towers.

Things are certainly picking up speed as we draw closer to the launch date in October.

If I’m not looking at template redesigns one minute, its webpage proofs the next, and then the App’s functionality itself. As an ‘ideas man’ it certainly pays to spend time trying to understand the technologies and professions at work, as when time is tight and costs money, you certainly dont want it to be wasted in a Class 101 on WebPage design.

Thats where I believe having good people; no excellent people and professionals on board is not only saving me time but (hopefully) saving me money. There’s no cotton wool surrounding the brief and design; I tell them what I want, they tell me if its a) within scope, 2) possible and 3) adds value to what the project is about. If theres a better way to do it, its explained and we make a decision. After all, its not only the ability I’m paying for but the opinion too.

When the project gets to certain milestones then ‘sign-off’ time arrives and that can be an important period! A little like getting married – its a commitment thing – once you say yes, changing your mind can be pretty expensive and may leave you looking a little foolish; best to have thought things through beforehand. And if everything is in place, you don’t want to disappoint the gathered throng by having stage-fright.

Having known the guys at Selesti for a good period of time (I had actually recommended a few people to them before I took the plunge myself) I knew that the quality of service and work would be high. Their portfolio of clients speaks for itself. They were my first and only choice for this project; not that I hadn’t had a few flirtations regarding other projects – some of which will hopefully bear fruit – but they were still relying on other pieces of the jigsaw to be in place first. Now that I’ve worked with them for a good year or so, they have shown their worth. Relaxed and encouraging when its appropriate, focussed and driven at game time.

Selesti are, to me, Ollie (MD) and Tom (Account Manager). Together they make a great team, they have each other’s back but there’s no comfort zone thats apparent to the client. Tom keeps everything moving, fielding calls, emails, texts etc with aplomb. To me, my app is the only project in the world, and the only one that Selesti should be working on; in reality its just one of a host of projects in the Selesti stable. I know thats the case but it never feels like that to me. Thats because Tom makes it that way. A+ Customer Service. If there’s difficulties with anything else, and only when needed, Ollie appears and together they make the difficulties go away.

So, if you’re in the market for an App or a website, Selesti should be your first port of call. Without their help, I’d be miles away from where I am now.
