Plaudit absolutely knocked it out of the park on the redesign and development of our new corporate website! Not only did they exceed our project goals, they provided superior guidance and project management every step of the way. Plaudit took point in managing the project schedule, defining key milestones, preparing asset management and feedback tools, offering custom training videos and live demos, pursuing new and better solutions, ensuring a seamless launch, and providing post-launch training and instruction. I note these numerous areas of support as they took significant work off of my plate. This gave me and the team capacity to stay focused on content and internal input, trusting Plaudit to handle the rest. It is that end-to-end process ownership that sets them apart, and I'm thrilled we made the choice to select Plaudit as our website partner.

From the first meeting through deployment Windmill is one of the best vendors we’ve had the pleasure of working with. They have a phenomenal team that helps at every turn and is always quick with a response when we had questions. I’d highly recommend them to anyone looking for web and marketing services.

Northwestern Health Sciences University partnered with d.trio to develop the look and feel for our brand. The experience of collaborating with the team at d.trio was incredible. We had energy and synergy, because they listened to us, which is something that is truly lacking at most agencies. We had a true partnership with d.trio. We looked at the big picture, exchanged ideas, and then dug into the details. Our meetings were creative, fun and strategic. We came away with a look and feel that fit us. It is unique, bold, and it's making a statement. More importantly, it's practical to our real world needs. We approached d.trio because quite frankly, I saw they get it; that design needs to work, not just win awards. They delivered 100%.

number8 is a consulting company that provides custom software development solutions for organizations leveraging agile development. We collaborated with Elko to deliver an extremely complicated web design project. While working with Elko, we were blown away by their communication and technical-skill level. The experience level of their developers allows them to excel at challenging projects, take almost any idea and turn it into working software, and consistently surpass client expectations. We intend to continue to work with Elko in the future and highly recommend the company.

Company: ProSource Guttering After 27 meetings with digital marketing agencies and investing a total of 46 hours, I chose Agency Jet to handle my SEO needs. I conducted extensive due diligence on every company I spoke with (outlined below) to ensure I made the best decision. My first meeting was with Julie, whose immense knowledge of SEO immediately stood out. I spent about an hour asking her detailed questions, followed by a 30-minute meeting with the Google Ads team. I then scheduled another 1.5-hour meeting with Julie to dive deeper into SEO strategies. Finally, I met with the development team. Based on these interactions, I decided to partner with Agency Jet for SEO services, though I opted not to use them for Google Ads. My Due Diligence Process: 1.Reviews •I analyzed Google Reviews and Glassdoor feedback (to understand the work environment from employees’ perspectives). •Most importantly, I relied on Clutch.co reviews, as they conduct in-depth, 30-minute interviews with customers for a more comprehensive evaluation. 2.Online Presence •Since my goal was to enhance my online visibility, I prioritized companies with a strong digital presence. •I evaluated their monthly organic traffic and analyzed the keywords they ranked for to gauge their expertise. 3.Clients’ Organic Traffic •Using SEMrush (a tool that allows 10 free searches per day per account), I reviewed their clients’ webpages to track organic search performance. •This revealed valuable insights, such as monthly traffic, and how many keywords ranked in positions 1–3, 4–10, and beyond. •This method exposed several questionable companies, making it an essential step in my process. 4.Interviews •I prepared challenging questions, including test questions for which I already knew the answers. •This allowed me to assess their transparency and trustworthiness based on the accuracy of their responses. To be clear I have not yet started work with them. I will be updating this review as time goes on.

We worked with 9th Wonder for our website and branding redesign and are really happy with the results! In the IT/telecom industry, it's hard to stand out, but 9W helped us simplify and refocus our messaging, and created a visual identity throughout our new website that is truly unique when compared to our competitors and peers. We've had a lot of fun building upon the redesign and better establishing our "brand" in the market. Our site even won a first place award in its submission category recently, so the results speak for themselves! The 9W team was ALWAYS prepared, communicated extremely well, kept us on track and delivered an awesome product that met all of our goals. We still work together through monthly support hours and they've continued this level of professionalism and responsiveness - the quality of the partnership has never faltered. I'd definitely recommend working with 9W!

I hired Bluestone because I wanted an app for my business that my clients could download and keep on their phones and I wanted a professional-looking website. They charged me $16k to make a progressive web app that does nothing for me. I don’t use it. I get complaints because the app doesn’t download as expected. They did a truly terrible job allegedly designing a site. Their idea of design was to apparently recycle old pages they had done for other companies and spice it up by writing the page name twice using two different looking fonts. Hiring them was the most significant waste of money since starting my business. This experience does, however, provide two silver linings. First, I learned a lesson that cost me only $16k so it could have been more painful. Second, I have ten years to sue them for breach of contract so I can wait until I’m not so busy to file my complaint. They appear to know the right things to say to look good in business. Accordingly, they may post a response that amounts to “we are sorry you are disappointed. Please contact us so we can work it out.” Don’t fall for that. I have asked to speak to their lawyers as well as their business leaders with no response. I have not seen any evidence that they intend to work anything out and I get the feeling that they couldn’t care less whether I am happy with the product since I have already paid in full.
