Jill Mercurio's Review Sourced from Google
After over a decade struggling with an old website that was ugly and difficult to manage, Stirling worked with us to create a beautiful, modern, branded website AND taught us how to manage and maintain it. Their friendly and knowledgeable team helped us imagine what our new web presence could look like and allowed us to weigh in at every step to customize the design so it best reflected our Library. They were organized and responsive throughout the entire process. We couldn't be more happy with our choice to go with Stirling and our amazing finished product!
JCLS Marketing Team's Review Sourced from Google
Working with the Stirling team was a fantastic experience. They were communicative and collaborative. Their energy and enthusiasm made them a joy to work with and their skill and creativity assured that we got a unique one of a kind website, rather than a "out of the box" readymade product.
Mark Spencer's Review Sourced from Google
I am sad to say that I do not share the enthusiasm of the other reviewers. Mr. Stirling did an excellent job of marketing his services and prompting me to call. My company had contracted with another company to build a new website and never finished it. After some discussion with Thomas, he estimated the cost to finish was $2000. I have the agreement that states this. Unfortunately, $2000 ended up fixing one page only. He claimed that there were too many broken links to finish the job. Of course he was happy to continue work for a lot more money. Rather than insist that he finish it for the original amount agreed upon, I simply requested that we do our best on our end and that we ask a question or two as we progressed. Mr. Sterling became belligerent and accused me of trying to wangle free services. He then shut down our website (fortunately not live) until we paid in full. I will say that the staff under Mr. Sterling were delightful to work with. Unfortunately the unprofessional attitude of their boss made for a terrible experience.
