Adchitects Weekly №2
Welcome back after a whole week of crunching numbers, scribbling lines of codes and intensive creative thinking! As June is quite rainy in Poland at the moment, we hope to bring some sunshine to your lives with a couple of updates and recommendations.
Before we start, kudos to Roxana for preparing this week’s cover! Now, no strings attached, let’s go:
Company updates 🏢
Cyber_Folks
Soooo much has happened on this front. We could dedicate a whole weekly dedicated to our partnership with Cyber_Folks, but let’s keep it in a nutshell.
First of all, Artur from the CF team has reviewed our collaboration. You can see it on our Clutch profile, but long story short:
After the project, sales increased significantly. Adchitects has a skilled team and they had great chemistry with their partners. As a result, the collaboration went smoothly. They delivered high-quality work on time and they were able to make adjustments when needed.
Likewise Artur! Thank you so much for our collaboration, hope to work with you again soon! 💖
And speaking of partnerships, a good one has to be mutual. So we’ve decided to try Cyber_Folks hosting and the results… overwhelmingly positive.
When it comes to hosting and going live, in most cases we’ve recommended either Flywheel or WpEngine. Both has excellent support and solutions dedicated for WordPress and WooCommerce, allowing to speed up your page. For one of the ecommerces we’re developing, we’ve decided to try our local solution — you’ve guessed it right — Cyber_Folks.
Here’s what happened when we’ve compared loading times with our usual hosting:
- Home Page — was 6.56s, now 2.13s
- Product listing — was 4.31s, now 2.29s
- Product page — was 4.09s, now 2.2s
- Info page — was 5.35s, now 3.22s
ENORMOUS difference! Just look at these guys:
With such results we aren’t suprised that R22 group (owners of CF) grew its net profit by 14%.
Let’s Day Out is no more. Welcome Victoria!
Other product we’re helping shape has gone under some serious revamp: Please welcome Victoria! To a more toned branding, with brand new site — a step up from Let’s Day Out. Fingers crossed!
And even though the previous website is down now, you can still see how we’ve approached the design and development bits on our Behance profile.
Other updates 🤔
Pigeons are gone 😟
Last week, we’ve told a short tale about life. This story, usually with multiple plot twists, still consists of multiple chapters. Whether heartbreaking or heartwarming, one of them is often about leaving the family’s nest.
And with tears in our eyes, we’ve witnessed how those magnificent birdies started that chapter.
Farewell and enjoy your life!
Designing Polish juke
You probably do remember Mirek from our last weekly — yes, the guy who published a photobook. As he’s a man of multiple talents, Mirek was also invited to dedicate his art as an album cover for the latest compilation release of footwork tracks by Bennelux.
Just look how beautiful that cover is:
And if you want to catch up on juke, the album is available here.
Although if you want to catch up on Mirek’s personal work, here’s his Instagram. And that’s his Behance.
Free pen: available at your nearest police station
Rather as a curiosity, but last week we’ve learnt that you can get a free pen when you visit a police station. Thanks, sanitary regime.
Recommendations 🎉
Not much for this week, but those are some honest recommendations:
- Starting with Voloco, or the app that destroyed Tobiasz’s social life. Long story short, you can spit some newschool-type bars by yourself using the app that allows to autotune your voice. Or read news headlines. Or record pretty much anything, send it over to your friends and piss them off for overusing autotune. Thanks I guess?
- Moving onto Billy, an app that saved Marta’s finances. Actually a very convenient app that reads your shopping receipts and automatically categorizes expense. It’d be nice to have an app that could stop my crazy shopping habits though, although Billy is a nice start!
With all of this being said and sentenced, we hope you’re enjoying the last week’s summary and this one will be full of pleasurable suprises. Now, let’s buckle up and get our hands dirty! See you! 👋
