An engineering firm's platform, built stateside-quality.

CeeJay Engineering needed a digital platform to match their reputation — clean, fast, technically credible. We embedded with their team for the build, delivered on time and well under typical US agency budget, and stayed on for ongoing support. Delivered with Quoviz.

[ 07 · Overview ]

The brief,
in three beats.

Challenge · Approach · Outcome
— Challenge

What they needed.

CeeJay had quotes from US agencies that came in at multiples of what made sense for the brief. They wanted the same quality without the US price tag — and a team they could actually work with rather than wait six time-zones for.

— Approach

How we tackled it.

Nearshore engagement. AST timezone (one hour ahead of US Eastern), daily Slack, weekly demos. Embedded with their team for the build. Senior engineers only, no juniors hidden in the bench.

— Outcome

What happened.

Platform delivered on time, well under the US quotes, with the CeeJay team trained to extend it. We're still on a part-time retainer for new features.

Inside the
engagement.

3 chapters
01 / 03Engagement

Nearshore engagement model

Daily standups during US business hours, real-time pairing when they wanted it, weekly demo Fridays. Same tooling they were already using — Slack, Linear, GitHub — so the team didn't have to context-switch.

02 / 03Build

Engineering & platform

Corporate platform with capability pages, project case studies, news and a contact-to-CRM pipeline. Built to be extended by the in-house team as the firm grows.

  • Service capability pages with structured content
  • Project case studies with imagery and stats
  • Contact-to-CRM pipeline with lead scoring
  • Mobile-first; Core Web Vitals all green
03 / 03Ongoing

Ongoing partnership

Part-time retainer covers feature work, content support and the occasional architectural call. We're effectively the engineering team they hire when they need senior depth, without the overhead of a full-time hire.

Same quality as the US agencies we evaluated. Roughly half the cost. We never went back to that shortlist.
