Project Summary

A Polish design studio engaged Appwise to rebuild and improve an existing WordPress MVP into a more flexible, polished web app (a step-by-step surveying tool). The vendor coded the WordPress app using PHP/MySQL/HTML/CSS/JS but failed to resolve persistent system issues during the engagement. The failed fixes and chaotic project management led to the end client severing the contract and significant financial and legal consequences for the studio.

Key Challenges

  • Need for a more flexible and polished solution than the original MVP
  • Difficulty introducing even minor changes in the existing app
  • Requirement to rebuild the app to enable further development and maintenance

Project Deliverables

  • WordPress-based web app
  • Rebuilt/reworked MVP with minor UI changes
  • Step-by-step surveying tool (toggle-scale steps)
  • Algorithm to calculate an overall score for each sequence

Project Solution

Appwise was contracted to rebuild an existing WordPress MVP into a more flexible web application. The scope included coding a WordPress-based step-by-step surveying tool using PHP, MySQL, HTML, CSS and JavaScript, delivering the same MVP with minor UI changes and improved code optimization. The vendor assigned one coder, rotating project managers, and a business representative to the project; the work extended well beyond the planned timeframe.

Project Outcome

  • Lost the end client
  • Approximately $50,000 in lost projects
  • Persistent system issues remained unfixed
  • Contract severed by the end client and legal threats ensued

Quality of Deliverables

“appwise software house failed to finish the final version of the project, and the MVP was buggy and did not meet the specified requirements. Their lack of coordination and transparency, along with their poor project management, resulted in the end client severing their contract with the client. This review includes the vendor's response.”
