Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Scope of Work for the Prototype: The scope of work covered the full creation of a non‑functional, high‑fidelity prototype of the mobile application, including product definition, UX/UI design, user flows, and clickable screens that represent the complete end‑to‑end experience. 
The engagement included requirements gathering, design workshops, iterative revisions, and delivery of a polished Figma prototype suitable for investor presentations, user testing, and preparation for MVP development.

Summary of Key Deliverables: The team delivered a complete high‑fidelity prototype of the mobile app, including definition of all core features, fully mapped user flows, polished UX/UI design across every major screen, and a clickable Figma prototype that simulates real app behavior. 
The engagement included multiple rounds of design iteration to refine usability and visual clarity, along with a structured design system containing reusable components for future scalability. The final handoff provided organized Figma files, component specifications, interaction notes, and exportable assets to support a smooth transition into MVP development.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The project produced a complete, investor‑ready high‑fidelity prototype that allowed us to validate the product concept, run early user tests, and secure multiple investor meetings. We went from a rough idea to a fully mapped feature set, complete user flows, and a clickable Figma prototype that accurately represents the end‑to‑end experience. 
The deliverables also enabled us to begin technical planning for the MVP, estimate development scope, and align our roadmap. Overall, the prototype materially advanced the product from concept to a tangible, testable asset that supports fundraising and next‑stage development.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Their project management was organized, responsive, and easy to work with. They consistently delivered milestones on time, kept communication clear, and adapted quickly whenever I needed changes or clarification. I always felt heard throughout the process, and they were proactive about checking in, sharing updates, and making sure the prototype aligned with my vision. Overall, they handled the project with professionalism and reliability from start to finish.

What was your primary form of communication with ChopDawg.com?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

What impressed me most was their combination of professionalism, creativity, and responsiveness — they weren’t just executing tasks, they were genuinely thinking with me. They took the time to understand the product vision, asked smart questions, and consistently brought thoughtful solutions instead of just taking orders. 
Their ability to translate abstract ideas into clean, intuitive user flows and polished designs stood out, and their communication was always clear, timely, and collaborative. Overall, they felt like a true partner in shaping the prototype, not just a vendor.

Are there any areas for improvement or something ChopDawg.com could have done differently?

One area for improvement would be more proactive internal QA on the prototype. There were moments where I caught small inconsistencies or bugs that the team could have identified and fixed before sending deliverables over. It wasn’t a major issue, but having the designer or PM do an extra pass before handoff would make the process even smoother and reduce the need for client‑side checks.

How many teammates from ChopDawg.com were assigned to this project?

2-5 Employees

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

 We explained the core idea to Chop Dawg along with a plan that consisted of just a few sheets of paper.  They brought it to life by creating a detailed scope of work that included both a moble and web applicaiton project.  The scope of work included the creation of an interactive phone based appilication that would interact with a web application to provide seemless communications within the petcare vertical market. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

They started by gaining an working understanding of our industry, business models, and what challenges we were trying to address.  From there created user personas to ensure they were capturing the goals and needs of each stakeholder.  That demonstated we had a common understanding of the situation we are solving with the application and the stakeholders who we are seeking to engage.  

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

The communicaiton of Chop Dawg was excellent, they assigned an outstanding team that of professionals who each had an area of expertise from design through testing.  The owner himself remained involved in the project ensuring that the deliverables were moving forward. 

What was your primary form of communication with ChopDawg.com?

Virtual Meeting

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Their approach.  It was less about what they knew and more about learning not just the 'what' we wanted to build but the 'why'.  They are very honest about what can be done versus what should be done, which helped steer the project development toward a viable product that operated as intended. 

Are there any areas for improvement or something ChopDawg.com could have done differently?

I have enjoyed the process and honest feedback from them thus far, the conversations have been professional and oriented toward developing a common understanding.  The deliverables have exceeded my expectations; and they made improvements to my concept that are better than I could have envisioned.  I cannot think of any measurable change they could make to improve upon the outstanding work. 

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a realtor. I had an app idea for real estate and clients. I have a partner who has helped along the way, and my son has been part of the development and idea input.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with ChopDawg.com?

I had an app idea, and I reached out to ChopDawg.com and another provider to help me put it together.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

ChopDawg.com helped me develop my app idea. I gave them the idea, and they completely developed it from what was in my head. We worked through their Slack and Figma. After we met Josh (Owner), he sent me the contract. I reviewed it and invited my partner and son; the three of us then had a Zoom meeting. We got in contact with Leo (Developer).

They guided me because I sent my ideas and thoughts, and they kept me on track, telling me what would work for now and what might work later down the road. They walked me through the process step by step and took all my ideas to create the app. ChopDawg.com created the boards and then transitioned to designing them every week. From there, we went to the logo and name. The team ultimately delivered a prototype.

What is the team composition?

We worked with Josh and Leo. There was also someone in training who sat in our meetings.

How did you come to work with ChopDawg.com?

I found them on Bing's Copilot search. I asked it for the top five app developers, and ChopDawg.com was number three. When I clicked on their name, I found their Clutch profile. I interviewed three other companies from that list. I really liked Josh, his background, and his enthusiasm for my app idea. He communicated really well and was excited about it. He said we could talk more and figure everything out, so I picked him.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent $15,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We first talked to Josh in July 2025, and I signed the contract in September 2025. We had our last meeting in November 2025. Now, we’re waiting for them to send us the link so we can start reaching out to investors.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Since the app has not been launched yet, we don't have any metrics; these will come once we get investors and figure out more aspects. Still, ChopDawg.com was always on time and exceeded our expectations. Leo went way above and beyond. He created a really high-definition and easy-to-use app. 
Since I'm not a technical person, the team explained everything in a way that I could understand. Every week, we'd get one step closer — the team kept growing and developing my idea.

How did ChopDawg.com perform from a project management standpoint?

ChopDawg.com delivered on budget. They were always on time and professional. We communicated through Slack. If I had a question, I could email them anytime, and they would respond at 11 p.m. sometimes. Josh and Leo would respond whenever I had an idea. We had weekly meetings with Leo. They were always on time and professional. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

They were personable, organized, precise, and friendly. They always answered our questions and had great ideas every week. From the beginning, ChopDawg.com made me feel comfortable. They never said something wasn't possible; they only suggested tweaks and asked for clarifications. They took my vision and created the prototype, which I believe will be a big success thanks to ChopDawg.com's knowledge.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, I can't say anything bad about them. They helped and guided me, and helped me understand how apps worked.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

The biggest thing is to think and dream of an app idea. ChopDawg.com can put it together and make the vision be seen.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm the CEO and founder of an online social platform for Connecting, Dating, and Networking. I have worked hard to create a product that is fundamentally different that much of the competition out there.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with ChopDawg.com?

We needed help developing and bringing to market a custom tooled piece of software that would maintain the strong vision we had for our product. Chop Dawg's software development proficiency, adaptability, and client approach made this decision for us easy!

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

ChopDawg.com will build custom software based on the concepts and functionality we had worked hard to create, while always mindful of the original intent and use case. This included proper wireframe renderings, and high-fidelity mockup's within Figma that were regularly reviewed by our team, and backend programming that was also reviewed and discussed regularly. Additionally, Chopdawg is also authoring an administrative application to manage the applications customer facing product experience.

What is the team composition?

We work with Joshua and Rutvi.Everyone we have had the pleasure of working with on this project has been exceptional! A few names that come to mind are: Joshua, Rutvi, Micah, Khizar, Wikram, and Iqbal.

How did you come to work with ChopDawg.com?

 I initially interviewed several companies that were located throughout the United States via Zoom phone calls. Once I had completed my reviews of each company, it had become clear to me that ChopDawg represented the best and most comfortable match! I then booked a flight from the West Coast to the East Coast to make a formal introduction and to review the extensive paperwork and notes I had created that would become the foundation of our company. I contracted with ChopDawg based on their culture & personality, technical know-how, attention to detail, enthusiasm, and general interest toward the project.

They were definitely a step ahead of the competition in terms of their level of interest and left me thinking I had made friends on this trip east. ChopDawg has been realistic about expectations and the workflow process; they never overpromised anything.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent around $125,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

The engagement started in February 2025, and it’s ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? 

The project is still in development, but ChopDawg.com has been efficient. We meet twice a week via Zoom and probably have a few Slack or Phone interactions, and the meetings have been truly interactive and collaborative. The communication with Joshua and Rutvi has been excellent. There has been very little delay when asking a question before receiving a response. Moreover, everyone on the team has been very nice and enjoyable to work with.

How did ChopDawg.com perform from a project management standpoint?

ChopDawg.com has delivered on time and on budget. We use Figma for the design work and Slack for internal communication. We use Jira for project management and of course the always present Microsoft Outlook.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I'm probably most impressed by their adaptability, technical knowledge, and proactive direct honest communication coupled with a strong sense of pride in the work they produce.

Are there any areas they could improve?

There's nothing they need to improve. In fact, we've decided to continue working with them after this project is completed for revisions and updates. In fact, I may have a few other app ideas tooling around in my head that I will likely use ChopDawg to help see my vision become reality.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Be prepared!! The more you have your concept fleshed out in a formulaic manner on paper or in a drawing format, the better. Write every component out yourself and attempt to understand or justify why it should work that way, etc, before engaging with a software development company. Having a good understanding of what you're attempting to accomplish and who your user base is can help ensure a more successful project and very likely save you time and money!!

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a manager at Apex Constructors, LLC.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with ChopDawg.com?

We needed help with website design and development.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Initially, we met with ChopDawg.com to discuss our vision. After they prepared a proposal, we signed it and started meeting weekly to discuss the website’s design. Once the design was completed, we met biweekly to discuss the development process. ChopDawg.com has developed the website using WordPress and has taught me how to make changes and updates. They've since turned the site over to me. Currently, the team is providing maintenance and support services. 

What is the team composition?

We've primarily worked with Joshua (Founder & CEO), Rutvi (Designer), and a developer.

How did you come to work with ChopDawg.com?

We found them through Clutch.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve invested $31,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them in April 2025, and the engagement is ongoing. The team provides 30 days of maintenance and support.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

We haven’t published the website yet, since I'm still making updates to the copy and photos, but we like it very much.

How did ChopDawg.com perform from a project management standpoint?

They've delivered the work on time and on budget. We use Figma for design and Slack for project communication.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They’re flexible, timely, and friendly.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, there aren’t any.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Be open and forthcoming with your suggestions and preferences to give them direction.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO and founder of a platform that helps people get feedback about their performance for knowledge workers.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with ChopDawg.com?

I hired ChopDawg.com to build the mobile app for iOS and Android and the web admin.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We had an initial phase in which I walked through the scope of what I was looking for. Then, ChopDawg.com submitted a scope, which I reviewed with them and signed off on. The team then began the wireframes and design. Once that was complete, they began development. The team is tasked with building the app from scratch.

So far, we've had an iterative QA process and stayed in touch with recurring meetings. We’re still in development; I’ve made some changes that I wanted to see, so they’re making those adjustments from a design perspective.

As for features, the app needs to allow people to get feedback on their performance. This way, users can invite their co-workers to share feedback by answering questions. The responses to those questions are then aggregated into insights that users can use as a knowledge worker to understand how they’re perceived at work and how their strengths are perceived.

What is the team composition?

We worked with around five people, including a project manager, a frontend developer, a backend developer, a QA specialist, and a designer.

How did you come to work with ChopDawg.com?

I found them on Clutch.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent about $80,000–$90,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with ChopDawg.com in October 2023, and our relationship is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

We haven't launched the app yet, but ChopDawg.com provides good-quality work.

How did ChopDawg.com perform from a project management standpoint?

Our timeline has been a little extended, but they’ve remained within budget. We largely use Confluence and Slack for project management and communication. I told them Slack is probably best for me, so I’ve asked them to use that as the primary channel.

What did you find most impressive about them?

ChopDawg.com's biggest strength is that I trust them to get the job done correctly. They’ve shown that they’re there to be partners, and it’s not purely a transactional relationship. They’re truly invested in the success of the project, not just in getting the project done. That’s gone a long way in helping to improve the solution.

At first, when I met with other development shops, they seemed more transactional. ChopDawg.com uses offshore resources but mixes them with onshore resources, which is helpful as a translation layer.

Are there any areas they could improve?

The timeline has slipped slightly in some of the project stewardship. We’ll see some improvements in that area.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Ask for timelines and clear documents outlining the engagement steps and when things will be ready. That way, you’ll feel clear about the project and can more easily manage it.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with ChopDawg.com?

We needed help with design services for a new UX that we wanted to develop.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

ChopDawg.com provided UX/UI design services for our web application. Initially, we met with them to discuss what we were looking for in an overall UX design. We talked through the features and functionality, and who the personas would be that would be using the product. They talked about some of their past engagements and how they felt they were well-suited for this opportunity.

We identified the requirements we were looking for, and they came out with a proposal. We met and walked through the proposal, and everything looked good, so we signed them up.

We went through a good 6–7-week engagement. They were forecasting to be done with their work by the end of June, and they were ahead of schedule. We met weekly, and they provided design reviews. We gave them feedback, and they incorporated it. Also, my engagement review of it was through Figma.

What is the team composition?

We worked with a lead designer and the CEO.

How did you come to work with ChopDawg.com?

We found them through an online search.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from early May–June 2025.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

We’ve shared the designs internally, and the feedback has been very positive.

How did ChopDawg.com perform from a project management standpoint?

They were ahead of schedule, and there were no budgetary updates. Everything was done through Figma and Slack. We also used email and Zoom.

Their attention to detail was impressive. They were extremely professional and managed the process well. They kept things on time and constantly delivered items back to us. They were very responsive and easy to work with.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I can’t think of anything.

What is the team composition?

We work with a project manager and three developers.

How did you come to work with ChopDawg.com?

Our UI/UX designer recommended ChopDawg.com. They showed expertise in our introductory meetings and knew what they were doing. Additionally, their development time and price were reasonable.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent $50,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in March 2025, and the project is ongoing. We're expecting to complete the project at the end of Augist 2025.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

ChopDawg.com has helped us stay under budget, and the project is set to be completed in five months instead of the planned 6–7 months. They constantly give us video updates, and we’re currently setting up tests, which have been very helpful when pitching the app to investors. The quality of their work has met our expectations.

We’re impressed with their efficiency in terms of time, money, and quality. They deliver what they do at a good cost.

It would be good if they could emphasize whenever they update something in Jira for us to check it. Other than that, everything is perfect.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Have the scope defined from the beginning.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a consultant for the Youth Rugby Initiative, a nonprofit. I used to work for USA Rugby and worked on their database system, so I know what is needed for this project.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with ChopDawg.com?

We needed help with custom software development.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

ChopDawg.com explained their ethos and design methodology before development. The team is helping us design and develop a web app.

The app will track kit requests donated to middle schools. It will also schedule volunteers to teach rugby to physical education teachers and spend a day with the kids. The app will also have a CRM feature to keep track of all the organizations and people involved.

We are currently in the design phase. We have a proof of concept design from which the team based de designed the web app. We've explained and provided the description of what we wanted.

That has helped us define, and we've done real wireframing. We have weekly meetings to provide feedback. The team is using Figma for the design.

What is the team composition?

We work with Josh, the CEO, and Andre, a designer.

How did you come to work with ChopDawg.com?

How did ChopDawg.com perform from a project management standpoint?

We have weekly meetings, and progress has been on track. The budget might be a little over, but that's not necessarily their fault. We use Jira, Slack, and Figma to communicate and read notes directly, but we primarily use Zoom and email.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We've been impressed with their honesty and responsiveness. They are willing and able to adapt to our requests.

Are there any areas they could improve?

The contracts are a bit long, but that’s not a big deal.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

It depends on how much money you want to spend. You can either have them do everything, or the main thing you have to do is have somebody ready to respond when they have questions. If you want to stay on the deadline, if you want to have them do everything you want them to do, you have to be ready to respond to their questions when they arise.
