Does it have to be production and not a staging environment? If that is the case, we do have a production demo account for sales reps in our app. We entered highly curated nearly 1-1 fake test to real-life data. So no hard-coded data or test-mode. It's very important that is feels 100% accurate from an experience standpoint. We created test users with emails we had access to, so they could still get emails from the platform as a demo user.
I have used Codeship Standard, CircleCI 1/2, and Semaphoreci 1. If you want a lot of flexibility I would suggest going with Circle. If you want a super cost effective option maybe look into Semaphoreci but it's more limited and less polished.
To me it signals that the community support is good on a project and I am more likely to go with a project with more stars over one that has less (that is a substitute project).
I would say so. I feel like there are very few sites I can't access when on a slow connection. Even for working remote I need almost no speed to get things done.
80% of our leads come from Facebook Ads. Typically they view the ad, click the link, request a quote, and then at that point we setup a phone call to discuss the software. We have some automated emails around this process as well and a link to our pre-recorded demo. I would say besides name of the organizations and some info we collect about their operation they are not heavily personalized. We use HubSpot to track the process.
It widely varies for me. For general contract work I shoot for $40-80/hr for Ruby on Rails or Angular 4 / React / Vue work. I tend to charge less for some languages that I am less adept with such as Python. I have about 4 years of experience now.
Plenty of times. Absolutely. I think everything comes down to process. I always make sure I do the everything in the process a few times so I fully understand how it goes, and then from that I like to draft up an SOP (Standard Operating Procedures) for the assistant.
