Ok Result, too expensive and slow for what was promised.

Overpromised the timeline and a few features. The end product was decent, although for their cost not nearly as positive as it should have been.

Communication was ok, but they took significantly longer than promised.

Alex overpromised in the beginning. I went with him due to him seeming like he had strong recommendations/connections to other aspects of D2C beside website, but he went quiet once the project got going.

Decent result that was too expensive/slow for what was paid, better options out there. I'd highly recommend keeping the payment in Upwork opposed to paying directly. The additional 10% cost is definitely worth it to keep them accountable.

Dear Kyle,

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear you found the end product decent, though we regret that aspects of the process didn’t fully meet your expectations.

Regarding timelines, while we acknowledge that things took longer than initially anticipated, there were also more design revisions than usual, which contributed to the extended timeline. Our team remained flexible throughout, incorporating multiple rounds of feedback to ensure you were satisfied with the final outcome.

Beyond the agreed scope, we went above and beyond to provide additional support, offering guidance and assistance beyond just the website to help your business succeed. Our goal was always to deliver a high-quality result, and we provided multiple opportunities for feedback and refinement along the way.

It’s also worth noting that this was a relatively small project—approximately 60 hours—for the level of bespoke design and functionality delivered. Given the quality of the final product, we believe the value provided was considerable. https://klearprotein.com/

Towards the end, there was an unfortunate miscommunication regarding a WhatsApp message—we did send a response, but it was never delivered to your device. We have since provided proof of this and clarified the situation.

We appreciate the opportunity to have worked with you and take your feedback seriously as we continue to improve. Wishing you success with your business, and if there’s anything else we can do, we’d be happy to discuss it.

The YDM team

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Highly recommend Alex and the YDM team!!!

Cannot recommend Alex and the YDM team enough! We were burned by other agencies before, and were very cautious of working with another Shopify agency. But from the moment we spoke to Alex, we knew that we were in good hands. No question went unanswered. My team and I were always kept in the loop, and the final outcome was more than what he promised. The whole team over delivered. We will continue to work with YDM for our new brand.

Alex is extremely genuine

Alex is extremely genuine. He could have squeezed out substantially more work (and money) from me but instead he pointed out a straightforward solution that was very quickly implemented. I was incompetent and did not fully understand the issue I was facing, but he quickly and accurately diagnosed it and solved it for me within a short time period. I could not have been more delighted with this experience and will be 100% working with Alex for future projects.

Professional, Timely, and Beyond Expectations

We have been working with Your Digital Media for several months now. Our initial collaboration kicked off with the complete build from scratch of a new Shopify theme for our business. This project was delivered exactly as per our expectations, and we received a professional, highly customizable, and easy-to-manage Shopify theme.

Since that successful launch, we have continued our partnership on various development projects for our business. We are thrilled with how well Alex, Raul, and the team consistently meet our requirements and deliver high-quality work on time. The ongoing support system is another highlight, offering us peace of mind and ensuring that any issues are swiftly addressed.

Additionally, YDM has excelled in creating a strong work environment with well-implemented QA and QC processes. This has enabled us to easily track progress and guarantee that every task is executed flawlessly, further contributing to the seamless operation of our business.

Personally, I recommend YDM to everyone who is seeking a professional agency to handle their tech and development requirements, helping take their business to the next level. A strong five stars from the Gleefull team.

A strong eCommerce Partner

We recently engaged YDM to take a new business with some demonstrated offline success onto Shopify.

In summary, the recently launched MVP hit the mark in terms of functionality, performance and design.

From the outset Alex and the team had a genuine understanding of our business needs. Onboarding was efficient and communication was well managed under one platform.

The standout of Phase I was YDM's ability to quickly grasp brand identity. The translated into high quality and on-brand wireframes that we believed would resonate with out target market.

Whilst we we faced some issues with the execution and implementation phase, concerns with promptly and professionally dealt with by Alex.

We are already seeing positive initial results from our new Shopify site and look forward to optimising this further in Phase II.

I have worked with YDM since the inception of our brand new website. They have helped us to improve al aspects of our site. They are professional, timely and always willing to help. Nothing is a silly question and I love knowing that I can call on them for strategy as well as the inevitable emergencies! You are in good hands with YDM.

Your Digital Media - Review

I would highly recommend working with Alex, Bushra and the team at Your Digital Media for any Shopify-related website development needs. From the initial meeting/ scope of works, through to the development, launch and after support stages, we have been extremely well looked after, listened to and our requests actioned quickly (even whilst based in different timezones). Thank you Alex, Bushra and the Your Digital Media team to turning our website vision into a reality.

Great support and excellent result working with YDM

I am not usually one to write reviews, but I'm absolutely stoked with the stellar work Your Digital Media did in crafting my new e-commerce shopify site. Alex's guidance from day one was a game-changer. From the first call I had with Alex, I felt very comfortable as he didn’t push me to make a decision, rather advised me on how to launch successfully as our product was very unique. He didn't just nod along to my requests; instead, he gave spot-on advice on what would genuinely work for our brand, saving me from potential money pits (we all know that some agencies are in it for the money usually).

What stood out was the regular and detailed project updates from the project managers, keeping me in the loop and abstracting the tech stuff. I also got video walkthroughs showing how to use the back end of the system and everything was addressed quickly and with great detail, giving me confidence.

Fast forward 1 month post-launch, and we're riding the waves of significant growth—all thanks to Your Digital Media's strategic touch. We are already planning our global expansion and looking forward to our ongoing partnership.

My experience was a disaster

Alex has received my feedback and knows I'm extremely critical about his/team's work.

I've been waiting weeks for a full account of the time spent, an astounding amount of time was spent for very little outcome.

My conversion rate dropped for two months after their work (despite their representations on Upwork). I'm a tech moron but have made changes to the website myself and have increased conversions substantially.

They also missed a major deadline which was hammered home at the start of the project.

Thinking about legal action, as I've got a million better ways to waste $10k than on this lot.

Honestly, in my opinion, either look elsewhere or give it a go yourself. You can't do worse from my experience.

Hi Katrina, we genuinely regret to hear about your dissatisfaction, and I want to assure you that your feedback is taken very seriously.

First of all, we would like to clarify that there was no ignorance on our end to your last request for a detailed report of the time spent. The report was sent in a timely manner and with full transparency a day after your follow-up last week. Unfortunately, your initial request was missed due to Alex's absence during that week.

We would like to highlight that from the start, we made sure the scope of work and goals for each sprint were communicated and agreed upon in advance and in writing in our contract and communication channels during the project.

Specifically:
Communication and Clarity: Our interactions on Basecamp and our subsequent email exchanges were an effort to maintain transparency. We provided details on each phase of the project, from auditing and designing to optimisation. We've always believed in keeping our clients informed, and we're sorry if there was a perceived gap in our communication.

Optimisation Over Redesign: We presented both options - a full redesign or a quick optimisation sprint - and proceeded with the latter based on the urgency of your upcoming event. As communicated, the optimisation was a way to enhance specific elements of the site rather than a complete overhaul, which we completed successfully and which you were extremely happy with.

Value for Money: We understand that the perceived value of our work didn't align with your expectations at the end. Our goal was to deliver the best possible outcome within the constraints of time and the scope agreed upon. However, it's important to understand that we run a thorough audit and created targeted design elements within the first 40 hours and then had 40 hours to optimise a self-made website, so the results should only be compared with what was there before we started making any updates. It's also worth noting that the audit includes findings that can be leveraged in the long term for the growth of the brand as we were only able to address a subset of those within a 40-hour project.

Solutions offered: Despite the criticality of your feedback, we offered to jump on a call to first of all clear any confusion around the work completed and explain in detail every single feature that we added and how it can be leveraged to benefit the brand and conversions, as it might have been misunderstood. We can see that some of the things we developed are currently not being used correctly.

We are proud of the level of service and quality we deliver to our clients, and we take your feedback seriously. Please reach out to us if you would like to organise the call so we can clear out any misunderstandings and put our completed work to use.

YDM are fantastic!

The team at YDM are fantastic. Our end-to-end experience from design, development and through project management was flawless and we are working with them on new projects already.

Like Having An Extra Team Member

From the first meeting with Alex on Zoom, we felt at ease. It was evident that Alex takes a holistic approach to software development. He took the time to get to know us, the business and the goals that his solution would help us achieve.

We employed Alex and the team at YDM to develop an online ordering portal for our customers using the Shopify platform. We wanted a system that was not only easy to use and appealing for our customers visually, but also easy to setup and maintain for us. Both of these goals were achieved.

YDM created a Shopify theme that works in conjunction with a custom built application. The app allows for easy management of products, collections, graphics and customers.

The project was wire-framed, and structured in a very easy to follow manner. We had ample oppurtunity to discuss and refine our requirements and went in to the development stage with a clear view of our goals.

The design is moderrn, clean and responsive, and coupled with the easy to use app has made maintaining the site easy.

Communication from the YDM team is one of their biggest strengths. Requests were acknowledged and actioned quickly.

I would recommend Alex and the team at YDM without any hesitation. We are currently working with them on a new project and have other projects in the pipeline.

Best team of of people to work with

Its really hard to find someone reliable in this field having outsourced my web development jobs to various companies with disappointing results. What I found different with Alex and his team at Your Digital Media is in his communication and execution. He is upfront setting my expectations, transparent with costing and deals with all my issues and concerns ensuring a quality end product. This is why I continue to use Alex for all my web development work.

What started initially as a great…

What started initially as a great service, quickly turned into a debacle.
There were multiple streams of communication with no central hub.
The project was supposed to take a few weeks and ended up taking months, missing a critical sale period (Christmas).

Aftercare has been non-existent. We migrated some parts of the recurring payment system, but this was not fully completed.

We have been asking for updates on this, and also on parts of the site that our customers are telling us are broken, and we have had no response.

Project cost £8,000 + internal costs.

Hi Dario, thank you for your feedback.

As was discussed immediately after your review was submitted here, this was all a huge misunderstanding due to email deliverability/receivability issues. Every one of your emails had been replied and followed-up to however they failed to reach your mailbox due to a mail server on your side, which you have already acknowledged. Regardless, the communication has since been reinstated and the website has been launched successfully.

Apart from the interruption in the communication due to unforeseen circumstances, as has been discussed already in a call, the project was also delayed due to a third-party (Bold Subscriptions migrations team) and their extensive backlog of migrations and poor support. We did everything we could on our side to get this project completed before the holidays, however, the migration was then a priority which had to put the whole project on halt while waiting for the third-party support.

I believe this has all been resolved now and your new website is up and running, producing great results! Feel free to reach out at support@yourdigitalmedia.com.au for any questions.

Migration from Magento to custom theme in Shopify

Your Digital Media helped us to migrate our old website on Magento to a new custom theme on Shopify. We are very happy with the new design and the team has been very helpful throughout the process. Alex (founder) and Hannah (project manager) helped us with any questions we had. Would recommend!

Such a great experience and a website that is truly exceptional.

The team at your digital media took my website from a "made by me shop" to a sophisticated vision all the while retaining my ideas of what is important.

I went into this contract with a lot of bad experiences with other companies. To say my trust was low is an understatement.

From our first meeting Alex took the time to answer all of my questions. Before contracting with them, I also contacted 3 of their previous customers, all of whom gave excellent feedback and great reviews of Alex and the team.

They built for HumBirdWool a specialty app that allows my customers to customize their orders in a way generic add ons never could. It not only makes it easier on my side to understand what to sew, I have gotten a lot of compliments from customers (and what could be more important than that) on the ease it is to understand how to order and get what they want. No longer am I spending hours in messaging helping customers order what they want. No longer do I have to spend my day watching how many orders come in so I can close it at the right time. The team at your digital media created the application to take care of all the special requirements needed for a made to order shop like mine.

I will definitely use them again for anything that might come up in the future (though, they did such a good job, I'm not sure anything will).
