Their Objective
Hailstorm Development is a remote web development agency based in Michigan. The company builds webapps, marketing sites, and digital products for clients across the US. As a fully distributed team, every workflow, communication, and project milestone happens online.
Its founder, Hayley Turner, wants to get more done in less time so that their clients get the maximum value from every engagement. That means tight coordination across content creation, copywriting, and web development - all without a physical office.
Start Free TrialThe Challenge
Establishing a remote web design agency is filled with challenges. The company faced numerous obstacles in coordinating a distributed team effectively.
Other pressing challenges include:
- Being a remote web development agency, the company faced coordination and collaboration difficulties that slowed project delivery.
- Their team couldn't manage tasks such as content creation, copywriting, and web development effectively without a central system.
- Lack of a centralized project management tool that aligns with Agile principles.
- There were communication bottlenecks due to lack of a structured system for sharing updates, feedback, and project status.
- Clients were unable to reach out when needed, creating gaps in communication and trust.
- Planning and scheduling the remote team's workload was difficult to manage without real-time visibility.
