Customers Say...
I have written a number of recommendations for individuals, but this is my first time writing in behalf of another company.
It is with the highest regard that I recommend Lezgro to any business requiring web and mobile development/deployment services. As a small start-up agency it is challenging for us to be competitive with the large advertising agencies. Unable to hire an in-house development team; and with the cost of freelance and contractors being at a premium, there was no way I could bring my clients a competitive value without outsourcing.
I have worked with a number of companies, across the globe, and was ready to conclude that I would never find the quality, pricing, and work ethic needed to satisfy our client’s requirements; and then I found an email from Lezgro in my in-box.
In the middle of a nightmare project, going terribly wrong with another provider, I decided to transfer it to Lezgro and see if they could save the day; and they did! We then literally moved all of our work over to Lezgro and the rest is history.
I now enjoy a great relationship with my Lezgro Project Manager; and she really cares about my work. The projects I receive back from development are flawless and I can review my job costs on-line daily to help me manage my budgets. Even their CEO, Ihor Pidruchny, checks in on me from time-to-time to ensure I am satisfied with their performance and everything is ok.
When it comes to performance, customer service, and pricing, there is no better solution than Lezgro. I know this sounds like a paid advertisement, but believe me, I would not have written this if I did not stand by every word.
Feel free to email me, if you would ever like to discuss in more detail; I would be happy to speak with you by phone if I can be of any assistance to you.Sincerely,

Customers Say...Alexei Dunayev: Quality and Timely Delivery of Complex ProjectsI’ve contracted LEZGRO to deliver several important projects and I was impressed with their proactive approach. I found LEZGRO developers both professional and skilled, and was very satisfied with their delivery on the technical requirements of the project.
I would also like to mark the excellent work of my project manager Roman and his excellent communication skills. I found his detailed status reports useful and timely, and not only did he describe all the work done by his team, but also filled these reports with constructive suggestions to improve the product. His responsibility and devotion gave me confidence in the successful delivery of the project.
It was a pleasure working with the LEZGRO team and I would recommend this company to anyone who is interested in quality and timely delivery of complex technical projects.

Web DevelopmentWeb development is LEZGRO's core specialization. Among many popular technologies available for a market, we can help you choose the appropriate one to achieve your project goals.
We accomplished projects in various industries using both MVC-frameworks, content management systems and ad-hoc solutions:
Workflow Based Applications - if you tell us about a complex project you need to accomplish with our help, which implement specific enterprise business processes, various user roles and permission system, we will be especially excited. Our professional team is constantly looking for challenging assignments.
Catalogs - various marketplace websites where users have multiple roles and are able to publish their listings, search for listings etc.
E-commerce Websites - traditional carts, private sales clubs, products configurators. This often includes functionally rich back end to reflect the enterprize's business processes.
Apartments Search - websites for apartments search, enriched by place and other criteria filters, usually with integration of Google Maps.
Traveling - we help companies design and implement solutions for people who travel. Finding yourself in a new environment is always a stress, and IT hasn't so far made its best to assist homo sapiens.
Corporate Websites - usually CMS-based solutions for delivering text and multimeida content to a visitor.
Plugins and Components - we often accept specific requests from our clients to develop plugins or components for their needs. Our help here is in provisioning architectural compatibility and avoiding pitfalls.
Integration (including payment system integration) - We've made different types of integrations, including CRMs and payment systems.
Geo-Based Projects - we integrate maps and display information on user's request based on location we integrate google maps and other local solutions to provide users with excellent location-dependent experience.
Front End DevelopmentFront end is the key to user's heart. One can notice and appreciate if the website was designed to be friendly to users, simple and intuitive enough. While functionality, mostly deployed on server side scripts, makes user achieve their goals, professional front end is the way to make this process simple.
Valid HTML/CSS - it is one of basic requirements we put on ourselves for front end development.
Page Size and Page Load Time Optimization - users don't always have good internet. We pay attention on using minimized libraries which contain only required functions, compiling multiple images into a sprite and other ways to make pages weigh less, load faster, and load content in order of its importance for user.
Responsive (Mobile Friendly) - we using existing libraries and frameworks, as well as ad-hoc code based on media queries to develop the front end which look friendly on various devices. While in most cases it is possible to achieve within sole code which behaves like khameleon, sometimes the way front end should act on different devices is significantly different. In this case we design separate mobile versions of the website.
Search Engine Friendly - Search Engines deliver their requirements towards organization of code and overall document structure. In many cases HTML is developed in such a way that significant content goes first, all the rest - after, in the source code.
AJAX-enabled - we are close friends with AJAX technology. We always seek for opportunity to load requested information into a block on the page, instead of reloading the whole page. This not only gets makes user fitter, happier and more productive, but also reduces load of server hardware resources and bandwidth.
Animated - transitions, when relevant, are used to enhance user experience.
Structured - we use various CSS frameworks to make codebase of front end more structured and manageable.
Web Project Infrastructure SetupDifferent projects have different goals, so their needs differ as well. Some are enough with a hosting or small virtual private server, some require multiple servers infrastructure built on cloud data centers like Amazon WS, Azure or Softlayer, or on rented machines placed in data centers.
Cloud Web Servers - We set up the operating system and all required software.
Specialized Hosting - In some cases you'll want to use specialized hosting tuned for let's say WordPress or Drupal. You can count on us in accomplishing this task.
Load Balancing - is a set of techniques and actions taken to distribute the requests equally onto every of accessible servers which scale the system. The approach does not only include distribution of HTTP requests, but also partitioning and distributing the database into shards, and designing the policy of commonly used resources and services on application level.
Proxy Servers - is part of infrastructure that does various functions such as analyzing requests and coordinating how they will be forwarded, caching, defence from massive attacks and others.
Web Servers - Choosing appropriate server and setting it up correctly ensures sustainability of the back end. We analyze peculiarities of the project and come up with advice and implementation to meet those peculiarities.
Caching - using some caching techniques make wonders. You can set up proxy caching which will dramatically decrease number of requests sent to web server, and the high-speed storage to cache recurring database queries.
Databases - We are not afraid to research, set up, configure and use various databases to meet specific needs of a particular project.
CDN Setup - Content delivery network is a way to optimize the bandwidth usage and time between the request and delivery of media content.
We delivered various projects in many categories and treat every new application with special care.
There's always a challenge of fitting a lot of features into a very limited surface of a viewport, and we like delivering great result each time.
Client-Server Architecture Design - In most cases mobile application doesn't live on its own - it communicates with application server, and, often, with 3rd party services like maps, authorization and social graph services etc. We are experts in developing client-server architecture: protocols, caching, maximal functionality in offline, stateful approach towards transactions, etc.
Information Workflow Applications - are based on textual and media data input and output. Such applications use all kind of inputs and view pages, and thorough information architecture design is in place for delivering optimal user experience.
Game Applications - Gaming industry still grows, and we help our clients get and reinforce their positions in gaming industry by developing games using various 2d and 3d engines.
Augmented Reality Applications - are used more and more frequently in all categories of apps, both entertainment (games) and decision supporting (productivity, lifestyle).
iPhone - IPhone development is LEZGRO's initial expertise in mobile development.
android - LEZGRO's specialists are also strong with android
Windows Phone - We made couple of applications on Windows Phone, which appeared easy due to previous experience with Microsoft technology stack which issues high level of architectural and syntactic inheritance.
HTML5 Mobile Applications - In many cases building the application with the help of cross-platform application development frameworks. We use phonegap but are open to use others on customers' request.
Mobile Friendly Website - Often making an application may not pay off, and designing a mobile friendly website is an excellent solution.
