Michael Caravaglia: Flawless
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 inbox.
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,
Michael Caravaglia

Alexei Dunayev: Quality and Timely
Delivery of Complex Projects
I’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.

11. Web Development
Web 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.
12. Front End Development
Front 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.
13. Web Project Infrastructure Setup
Different 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.
14. Mobile Development
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.
