"Oh look, that company changed their logo to yellow and blue! Wow, they must really support Ukraine!"

As the war broke out in Ukraine, we at Expedreview had a decision to make.

In January, after a few months of interviews and consideration, we decided ARTJOKER - one of the best development houses in Ukraine - would be our development partners going forward. We had a huge project before us, a complete rebuild of our entire platform from the ground up with loads of new features and complexity.

Days before signing contracts, Russia invaded Ukraine. The primary concern obviously was the safety of our new friends, who were mostly based out of Kharkiv. We reached out but had radio silence. Concern grew. Finally, after 10 days underground and offline, they made contact. Relief washed over us! They explained they were safe, back online and hungrier than ever to get working. Many of their national clients had obviously gone offline, so now more than ever, a steady income was important for them to keep their families going.

I will be candid here. The moral choice was simple. But from the helm of a young start-up running on investor funding; the decision required more consideration.

The right choice prevailed.

The best way we could 'support Ukraine' was continue with ARTJOKER . We believed in their skills and their strength, and we were not wrong!

Over the past 9 months we have been working daily with an amazing team who have produced exceptional work in exceptionally difficult circumstances. Despite daily challenges and weekly setbacks, they consistently deliver amazing work, and we are proud to call them partners and look forward to working with them in the future.
