Reviews
Very good provider. Their support system is really good, allows me to see the status of everything that's going on in relation to my project and support requests, and the people themselves are really easy to work with and respond quickly to questions.
Everything was provided on time, project managers were friendly and helpful, quality was very good and so nothing to blame. Will suggest!
We had a web design done by another company but as they were not able to produce nice HTML code we found e-Stonia Web Agency. I wish we found then earlier as their portfolio is impressive and we would probably get better design from then but let it be... We got nice clean HTML code that was search engine optimised and it was all implemented to MODx content management system so we can easily change whatever we need. We used to have Drupal before and had many problems managing other areas of the page except main content area but managing the web is now really easy!
I'm very hard customer in terms of design so it's quite difficult to draw a design that will meet all my needs but Runo and Kaspar have been helping me to get where I think I need to go. They've sorted out brilliantly all my functionality needs, have hosted all my websites and are still helping me to get new and fresh design to my website. Highly recommended!
Web development provided for our "fina-a-lawyer" website was exceptionally good, everything was provided before deadlines and within budget. Best of all - friendly support was always available and via Skype often late in the evenings.
Backend was made really to use so it took me really less than 15 minutes to be able change any area of the website with ease. And I'm not very good friend with computers!
Would suggest E-stonia team as intelligent and innovative individuals who can always suggest best ideas how to acheve maximum for your online business. And they're really affordable compared to other UK based web development companies. We used freelancers before we found E-stonia and the experience was poor as deadlines were never met and they always quoted unrealistic timeframes and prices just to win the job.
Hello,
Kaspar, Carlo and their programmers in Estonia provided great value for the tight budget I had. Before them I hired Indian team that claimed to have more than 100 developers in their team and as they offered really great price I went with them. At the end of the day I was delivered unprofessional design and back-end with full of bugs.
E-stonia team is not huge but they're experienced and they work fast. Their hourly rate is not cheapest but they always estimate less hours of work than my previous experiences so at the end of the day I got better price and better value.
And they know how to keep the amount of visitors to my websites rising. Kaspar is genius in getting new visitors and generating new business to me. Website without visitors would been just waste of money to me as I learned.
Thank you for great service and hope we'll work on many other projects in future.

WWDC:
What's your business philosophy?
e-Stonia Web 2.0 Agency:
”Simple rules for happiness:
* Keep it simple - we try to follow the golden rule for programmers in every aspect we do. Remember - everything ingenious is simple but not all simple things are brilliant.
* Put people first - computers exist to serve us. We write software for the sake of people, not for the sheer joy of technology.”
WWDC:
Describe your office environment.
e-Stonia Web 2.0 Agency:
”Our project management and marketing team (Kaspar & Jonathan) are located in South-London (West Norwood) in a comfortable home-office. Our over-creative designer Runo & our programmers (Arthur & Martin) are located in our Tartu office (Estonia).”
WWDC:
Describe how your team interact and work together.
e-Stonia Web 2.0 Agency:
”As our team is located in Estonia and UK we work like in a virtual office. We see each others' screens via VNC and have set up web-cams and Skype connections so we can speak and see each other any time during office hours.”
WWDC:
What makes you different from other web design companies?
e-Stonia Web 2.0 Agency:
”Price-quality relationship. There are cheap offshore providers for example from India that are super cheap but won't probably even understand your needs and there are great UK web agencies that provide really high quality but cost you million times more. We provide top quality, have UK manner of working but our prices are way lower than UK providers'. OK, we're not as cheap as Indian offshore providers but compared to UK providers we're really cheap.”
WWDC:
How do you get the majority of your business?
e-Stonia Web 2.0 Agency:
”1. Referrals - we offer 15% of commission to our customers if they suggest us.
2. Google
3. Social media
4. Web directories like this one
5. Other search engines and other internet marketing actions.”
WWDC:
Describe how you manage projects from the initial client contact to completion and handover.
e-Stonia Web 2.0 Agency:
”1. Listen to customer's needs

4. Create a contract.
5. Do the development.
6. Testing.
6. Deliver and do the training.
7. Support.”
WWDC:
What do you think is the most crucial element of creating a good client relationship?
e-Stonia Web 2.0 Agency:
”Good communication and support.”
WWDC:
How do you manage demanding clients?
e-Stonia Web 2.0 Agency:
”We always agree everything in detail before we start working to minimise the chance that customer doesn't get exactly what was expected.”
WWDC:
If a client was trying to decide between a shortlist of web design companies, how would you recommend they go about selecting the right one for them?
e-Stonia Web 2.0 Agency:
”In terms of design it's easy - just have a look at the portfolio and decide if you like what you see or not.
In terms of functionality it's good idea to call the project manager and explain your needs and then see if you get reasonable suggestions and if you feel confident that that person will guide you through the complicated programming, testing, training process. Also, ask for a similar examples of work to make sure they really know what they're doing.”
WWDC:
