      Branding Review from Adam Bleibtreu

      We specialize in matching qualified contractors with clients in need of freelance, part-time, or full-time help. Our logo had been in place for 20 years and we needed help rebranding nearly every element of the company. There are fewer things more challenging than rebranding an entire firm, but La Visual provided a great brand illumination study, and the care they gave to the design was outstanding. La Visual is a partner that thinks about why you’re rebranding and who you're doing it for.

      Over the past year, I have had the pleasure of working with Rich and Ntooitive for our current website and in the creation of a new website, and I couldn’t be more impressed with their service.From the start, Rich and his team demonstrated not only technical expertise but also an understanding of our needs and vision, even as we have changed it along the way. They took the time to listen to all of our ideas and provided valuable suggestions that made the final product even better than we had initially imagined.One of the standout qualities of Ntooitive is their creativity. They consistently came up with fresh, innovative ideas that helped us set our site apart in a competitive market. Their design work is sleek, modern, and user-friendly, and they made sure to incorporate our brand identity seamlessly throughout the site.What truly impressed me, though, was their patience and collaboration throughout the entire process. They kept communication lines open, accepted feedback, and adapted as needed, always ensuring that we felt heard and understood.In short, Ntooitive has been a joy to work with. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and creative web design partner. Thanks, Rich!

      Extremely disappointing experience.I hired Starke Marketing to run my marketing campaigns. Over two months later, I’ve received no deliverables, no active campaigns, and no response to multiple emails or phone calls. Missed key sales periods like Memorial Day without any explanation or action. I ultimately had to terminate the relationship and request a full refund. No Refund was processed.If you value your time and business momentum, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere. This company overpromises and severely underdelivers.

      Starke Marketing built a new website, and integrated a Woo Commerce shopping cart for us. I couldn't be happier with the results, the website is everything we could of hoped for and more. Richard and the team were a huge help in getting everything up and running for us, and Leah kept us informed through every step. I highly recommend Starke Marketing for any website or marketing needs, as they do a fantastic job, while treating you like family!

      The entire team at Starke is fabulous! Richard & his team built our website & we liked them so much that we are using Starke for our marketing as well. Richard delivered a website that was everything we wanted. He answered every single one of our million questions. He never ran out of patience & he & his team have a wealth of knowledge & experience. The marketing team is equally fabulous. You won’t find a better group of people to work with. Thank you Starke Marketing!!

      I would prefer to give no stars if I could.This company operates a dishonest credit checking company in the UK called UKCreditratings - RS Datatech based in Manchester.I had money stolen from my bank account by them, I am not the only one, also they are somehow getting fake reviews on trustpilot. I am going to Flag them and hope they get investigated.AVOID THEM AT ALL COSTS
