Lounge Lizard is a great company to work with! When we started looking for a website company to design our new website, Lounge Lizard's work spoke for itself plus they were very clear on the process. We looked at other providers, but the designs were elevated when it came to Lounge Lizard. The project process of getting the new site up with all the content was fluid. They use a great collaborative tool that made the process easy, and the meetings kept us involved and up to date with all edits. The finished product was exactly what we wanted. The team at Lounge Lizard are the best! Everyone we worked with was easy to work with and super helpful, even after production they still assist us when needed. We couldn't be happier with the choice to have them as our website designers!

We hired Dedicated Developers to help us build and design both hardware GPS sensors used in the transportation industry as well as the web application and mobile apps to monitor the sensors. The sensors connect the transportation sector to the Internet of Things (IoT). It was challenging to find developers that had the complete package of skills we needed for this project. Lots of companies had the software skills, but not very many had the hardware skills. We were thrilled when we found Dedicated Developers, because they were able to do both the hardware and software designing for us. The hardware they created are sensors used to monitor a wide variety of things for the transport industry. The sensors can monitor speed, acceleration, elevation, breakdown, GPS route coordinates, and then transmit all the data through the cellular network. Our clients can then see all the data points within the centralized application control panel to fully monitor their cargo. They did a lot of initial research and were able to suggest hardware components and sensors that would be the best configurations that would reduce the costs during mass production. They helped us figure out the best components that are reliable, durable and cost effective, so the total hard costs for each finished sensor goes down, and profits go up. They were able to bring the total cost of each unit down by 21%. They were creative while building the prototype sensors, which they were able to do quickly within a couple months. The software they created to run and monitor the sensors uses the latest cutting-edge technology, and connects our industry to the Internet of Things, which is fast, efficient, responsive and very well designed. The hardware sensors they created for us are top notch, and the monitoring software to run and monitor them has been very well received by our clients. It’s been able to make our company a cutting edge leader in our industry.

Daniel's superpowers, and he has many, transform his client's companies, websites, social & digital media, engagement, marketing advertising & outreach into a quantum level of effectiveness & efficiency. His attention to detail, responsiveness, creativity, proactive outreach and constantly iterating & inventing is second to none. Daniel has completely transformed my Company's website and our entire approach to social & digital strategy. He understands the constantly evolving world of search engine optimization and how to generate maximum exposure and return on investment. A project I engaged Daniel for was initially priced at $60,000 by a national digital marketing/PR firm was completed for a fraction of the cost and you would not be able to distinguish the results. GPS' website UI/UX is second to none and it is entirely attributable to Daniel's efforts & expertise. Daniel is constantly looking for ways to save his client's money so they can allocate that savings for other projects and programs. He raises the bar on customer experience, response time, creativity, value delivered.

Maxburst recently redesigned our company's website and needless to say, it is a tremendous success. Our company recently went through a large corporate rebranding, requiring the creation of 3 new websites that required some complex design principals and a custom platform for our employees to access securely. Everything looks beautiful and is functioning perfectly. Throughout this entire process, we worked with Colleen who was our main project manager. She and her team, deserve a lot of credit for meticulously managing and implementing our requests. I know that my partners and I can be pretty demanding with lots of strong opinions but she took it all well and at the end delivered exactly what we envisioned. We highly recommend Maxburst to anyone looking for a quality web presence that is beautiful, functional, interactive and easy to update. Their customer service and project management skills are some of the best I have seen in the industry, their designers and programmers are all extremely talented. We couldn't be happier with the end result.

I run a software development agency. We build custom software for clients. DigitalDesign worked with us for three of our end clients. We specifically hired them to take care of the UI/UX design tasks for these customers, one being a nonprofit, the second being a financial technology company, and the third being a software company. During our work with a nonprofit, we had to recreate a whole system for the end customer to run their operations. It was essentially an internal tool for their team members to support their work for the organization. Moreover, it was a complex project that took about nine months to complete. DigitalDesign handled the UI/UX design needed for the product. Our second project was a shorter one. They had to build an onboarding form for a financial institution to onboard new clients. They refined and revamped the UI/UX flow of the form. We then built what they designed. In terms of documentation, DigitalDesign received full documentation from the first client; we contributed to it. The product was already live in the second project, and they simply worked on it. For tools, the team mainly used Figma to create designs and gather feedback from the end clients.

I have worked with MBLM over many years across multiple brand and design projects, for my own company and others. I truly appreciate the consistently valuable, thoughtful, and thorough work they do. I've also been regularly delighted by their phenomenal professionalism in managing complex projects with many stakeholders. Branding is a difficult art and they keep teams accountable, create consensus, and ensure forward movement towards a great end goal at all times.

Milk & Bull has been an incredible partner to Golden State Cider over the last few years. They worked with us on re-branding our Radical Fruit Series ciders, Harvest Series ciders, and general promotional support materials. Milk & Bull can design across a broad spectrum of materials and provide unique ideas to call attention to the brand on shelf. If you want a responsive agency that acts as an in-house design team, Milk & Bull would be a great fit for you.

I hired Kobe to write content for, redesign, and redevelop our ecommerce website. Kobe provided one, initial meeting with a few people who I did not work with again. Work was begun on the project by the content writer, who began describing the design in his content, which was posted page by page on Monday.com, which does not have revision or reviewing functionality. Kobe refused to begin the project with (industry-standard) wireframes, which would have provided a simple understanding of the two types of pages and messaging placement to both my team and theirs. Kobe next provided designs, via pdfs in email (i.e. no easy reviewing capability), that looked like simple template websites with no brand feel, according to many laypersons and professional web designers (and me too of course). At this point, with less than half of the work done, I cancelled the project. Kobe unethically did not refund money for the half of the project that was unfinished.

I picked Brand and Mortar due to their reputation, reliability and known resources in the community. We signed a contract in May of 2021, with my needs heavily outlined of building an extensive website with cutting edge plugins and a custom functionality. After numerous follow-ups, they were confident they could meet my needs and we signed. It was extremely pricy, but I knew because of the functionality needed, it was needed. Once the wireframes (website outlines) were approved in October (they looked amazing), it was a contracted 9 weeks until I had my website in hand. I was so beyond ecstatic. Glad I chose Brand and Mortar to create this for us. Well, December rolls around, I want to confirm I will have the website mid January and it's confirmed! My website will be live! Well, they forward the "finished" website and it's a joke. Is is nothing as contracted and then I get told they need more time. So we wait, then the next deadline gets pushed and continues to get pushed. I couldn't wait anymore when I can see they don't have the skills to create when they agreed upon. Up until this point, I've been waiting to hear back from the owner and he won't respond to my emails. The amount I have paid, for this quickly slapped together website is beyond ridiculous. They're communication is severely lacking, the professionalism was there, but slowly dissipated once they received my money. Their marketing background is where they should focus their business when website design is clearly not their expertise yet.

My experience at Bold x Collective has been immensely knowledgeable. The staff actively conducted an effective analysis of the current social media and digital marketing trends for me to strategise my approach to my business. All the analysis was backed up with credible research that assisted in me innovating my marketing approach to my business plan. Communication and meetings was very professional and punctual. Great experience! Looking forward to let my friends and family know about them.

I feel morally obligated to write a bad review, because I had a bad experience with WFN and originally I couldn't find any bad review when I was first researching this agency before hiring them, so it was a no brainer. Initially WFN was hired to run a deep site audit before initiating long-term work, from the first contact to the end of the business relationship with WFN took around 1 month. In that month, a lot of time was wasted answering questions that showed lack of development knowledge from the manager (yellow flag), but I thought, not big deal, let's keep going. However, when they delivered their "deep site audit", it looked like it was written by a 12 year old with lots of mistakes, and issues about the sites that weren't real issues. Aftermath, the money was wasted, not a single development task got accomplished after 30 days. After that, I went to Upwork right away, hired 2 developer for HALF the price of WFN hourly rate, and the guys got almost all the tasks done in less than the time these guys wrote that low quality report. In other words, I don't recommend this agency. BTW. WFN if your are reading this. This is Leonard S. and the two developers I hired from Upwork didn't have ANY problem connecting the GIT to WPengine and deploying the sites locally, so you guys should probably consider hiring better developers.

Nitrous has been, and will continue to be, my go to production company because of their commitment to creativity, quality and overall customer service. Working with this team of talented creative professionals is such a pleasure. Producing amazing content, on time and on budget, is what Nitrous consistently does and they help make me look like a hero in my clients' eyes. Thank you Nitrous!
