Four years in: a reliable web‑dev partner

We first hired Apiko in September 2019 to replace an outdated WordPress site with a modern e‑commerce platform. They handled the front-end, back-end, and deployment pipeline, working from designs we supplied. Communication runs through Slack and Jira, with weekly calls. Despite the seven‑hour time difference, tasks stay on schedule and production issues are resolved quickly—even the occasional overnight server alert. Time zone difference has been a non-issue for us.

The new site has shifted our lead flow from hobby projects to the larger medical, automotive, and aerospace companies we target, so the investment has paid off. Code quality is solid, estimates are accurate, and the team is upfront with their capabilities.

After four years of steady collaboration I’m happy to recommend Apiko to firms that need dependable, long‑term web development support.

Online marketplace development: The outcome

The eCommerce shop wasn't functional enough to offer customers an automated and easy-to-use configuration. Manual configuration considerably affected the performance of the online shop.
Apiko has created a highly-functional website, where clients can choose and customize motors effectively. It has led to a rise in productivity levels and made the process of ordering motors easier, faster, and more accurate, which overall improved user experience.
