Communication is poor

Communication is poor. Often after my responding to a question about my project, it would take days and in some cases weeks to hear back. That may have just been the specific project manager, but that didn't help complete my project. Although they fixed a few functional things, they also messed up the css formatting, and instead of getting everything fixed that I wanted, we went down a rabbit hole of css fixes that didn't work and broke other parts of my website. I finally paid the first invoice, shut down the project. It took over 6 weeks for them to cash my payment. They asked which of the functional changes I wanted sent to me, I replied, and have heard nothing from them. Again, the lack of communication is frustrating, and caused my project to fail. I am out many thousands of dollars and have nothing to show for it. Received an email yesterday that they sold the business.

Hi there,

We’ve taken the time to carefully review your feedback and appreciate you sharing your perspective.

We’re sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations. Clear communication and collaborative progress are essential to the success of any project, and we understand how delays or misalignment can be frustrating.

That said, the progression of the project was impacted by several technical constraints within the existing codebase. The site relied heavily on legacy development practices, including complex PHP logic generating large portions of the HTML, which made even small changes more fragile and likely to create unexpected side effects, something we have brought up as a concern early on. As we fixed bugs and implemented improvements, particularly to support mobile responsiveness, some frontend inconsistencies temporarily surfaced, which may have appeared as CSS-related issues. However, these were largely symptoms of deeper structural limitations rather than isolated styling problems. We approached this challenge with care and transparency, always trying to preserve the integrity and stability of your application.

Throughout the project, we worked closely with you to address issues as they arose and consistently proposed solutions to move things forward. When you later indicated a desire to end the project, we suggested alternative approaches to reach a positive outcome, which were declined. We then explored other options, but delays in receiving confirmation, combined with shifting priorities, affected project momentum. Throughout, our intention remained to stay collaborative, flexible, and aligned with your expectations.

We remain committed to excellence and would be open to clarifying any outstanding elements if needed. We appreciate the opportunity we had to work with you and wish you the best in your future endeavors.

Regards,

The SimplyPHP Team

The programmers as SimplyPHP were simply amazing. They'd taken over a long stalled, complicated migration issue from our prior programmer and muscled it through in just over a week. It was complicated and we had glitches crop up, but they were right on every one resolving them quickly. If you're looking for a firm that can solve complex problems others couldn't, this is your team.

SimplyPHP is the absolute best

I have had the pleasure of working with various people at SimplyPHP for 3 years now, after many terrible experiences with other companies. From their first interaction with me and my team during a multi-million dollar emergency, they have been an absolute blessing.

The team at SimplyPHP are always incredibly talented, driven, and friendly people with a genuine passion for what they do. All issues are dealt with quickly, and they are happy to go above and beyond to ensure a perfect product and make sure that I understand everything they are doing. As someone who has launched multiple massive projects, sites, and systems with this company, I have absolutely no reservations about recommending them to everyone.

Looking forward to being a client for years to come

Crazy Canuck Events (Mud Hero) has been a client of Mentel's for a few years now, where they picked up the pieces of a web site development project from someone else, and helped push our site to completion.

Since then, Mentel has been an excellent partner for Mud Hero, and helping us many times over in getting projects done in a timely fashion for a reasonable price.

They even do 'client research' by attending our Mud Hero Montreal event every year and using it as a team building activity for their team!

We couldn't be happier to be partnered with Mentel - and we see our partnership continuing for many years to come.

The ideal partner when it comes to increasing the production capacity

A friend of mine put me in touch with SimplyPHP (formerly Mentel) a year ago. It then took only a few emails and telephone exchanges to make sure that my correspondent understood exactly what I was looking for, even if my needs were very specific. Since then, I have had the opportunity to regularly appreciate the professionalism and availability of each member of the team with whom I have worked. For me, SimplyPHP is an ideal partner when it comes to increasing the production capacity of a developer team in the short or medium term. I would definitely recommend it.

Whenever a need has arisen, whether for planning, implementing or servicing, SimplyPHP has responded in an exemplary fashion. I appreciate the time they took to listen to my needs and help me figure out exactly what was needed to make my online reservation platform a success.

SimplyPHP sets a customer service standard that few companies can match. In addition to their responsiveness I’ve found their prices consistently good and their attention to detail excellent.

Their recommendations have enabled me to achieve my goals on time and within budget. SimplyPHP's team is fantastic and I recommend them for any related activity or service.

The Best in the Business!

It honestly does not get better than SIMPLYPHP. I discovered them through google, and from the first meeting I felt comfortable that they could provide what was needed. I was wrong. They surpassed my expectations and were able to effectively and efficiently code and deliver every crazy idea i had. Most importantly, they recreated the design perfectly. My clients love the product. SIMPLYPHP have taken my thinking and design/functionality of UI to another level, so I can only see an ongoing relationship with them. You will not be disappointed!

I was in over my head with a PHP project

I was in over my head with a PHP project for a client. I discovered Simply PHP on the web. Tony Capozi and the entire staff were wonderful to work with. They jumped in, solved my problems and both me and my client are extremely satisfied. I can honestly say that I give my highest recommendation to Tony and his entire team.
