We interviewed 3 companies before choosing Premier. They ranged from the extreme high end to low end. The high-end company had consisted of multiple offices and conference room with a lot of developers in bullpens. They had what seemed to be an impressive process. Lots of expertise. Got the feeling though that the process was very rigid and that the cost could increase if we had too many changes.The 2nd company was a home-based business with mid-range pricing. They subcontracted out most of the work around the globe. So they had access to a lot of experts, but seemed like this could slow down the communication process.The 3rd company was Premier Web Development and happened to be the lowest price. The had a commercial office space with conference room shared by 3 people. It wasn't the price that moved us to select them, because we were leaning towards the higher priced company. Jay and Chase just gave us a good vibe.Premier Web setup a temporary test site. We used very detailed emails with screen shots and a few phone calls for the communication process. OneDrive was used to share files. They were extremely responsive to every communication. We had a lot of unique custom features. Even though the project turned out to be bigger than they estimated, they kept plugging away with no effect on price. We only met with them at the beginning and end. During the last appointment they gave us some requested basic training on WordPress and took them to lunch to celebrate. We wanted the WordPress training because we have the in-house expertise to make future modifications, just didn't have time for the entire project. We feel that even if you didn't meet with them, that it wouldn't affect the project.We quickly discovered that their company philosophy is in line with a lot of our own. Don't get overly locked into timelines, because it's the quality, service and support that really matters. Very conscientious! They knocked the project out of the park! We're really spoiled now! We give them the highest recommended!Thanks guys!
