      Digital Services Review from Brianna Porter

      SmartSites impressed me from day one. They are knowledgable, kind, and most importantly keep things simple and streamlined so that even an SEO-newb like me can understand. Tiffany and Luna are my main points of contact and they are especially great! I would recommend to anyone looking for an agency to really take their website and digital presence to the next level.

      PPC Review from Jim Curry

      At first, a survey was conducted to gather company background, product information, target markets, etc. Next, accounts were established on various Google Business platforms, social media, etc. Then SmartSites created the ads and campaigns, and we were off and running in just a few weeks.

      Digital Marketing Review from Braden Soika

      There’s a lot of misconception about this company and form of marketing. I’ll be honest, it’s not for everyone but I was in the same boat of being hesitant. I took the jump in September of 2021, and slowly became more involved in the work ethic and leadership styles that were being taught. Being a month in, I already feel confident in my attributes I thought were already perfected. This company will teach you that there is always more to improve on, and they do it in such a supporting way that you feel taken care of. I mean that as genuinely as possible. I was promoted to an Account Manager just a few days before writing this review, and am looking forward to the hard work that’ll lead me to another one. Take this leap of faith and understand that if you want to be invested into, this is the place to go. People are taken care of and respected, all while being humble about it.

      eCommerce Development Review from Kate Auchenbach

      Over the past few years, we have been working with WebFX on various ongoing projects surrounding our websites. They have taken our SEO from non-existent to one of the best websites throughout our time working together. They provide easy-to-understand, solutions-oriented objectives for us and can work cohesively with us to achieve those goals. I like their ability to work hand-in-hand with you and keep you informed in such an organized manner with progress reports.

      Home Dimensional's Review Sourced from Google

      With our company website in dire need of modern upgrade, we sought out a lot of the "usual suspects" for web design in our area. After speaking with many companies, we were so impressed with Wide Open Tech's presentation that we decided to give a local, smaller company a chance since that's what we are as well. Mel & Rose Beasley in particular, guided us through the entire process from start to finish in a very stress free manner. We gave them a few design ideas for color scheme and flow, but they pretty much took it and ran in the right direction. We had to make very few adjustments along the way design-wise. Their eye for a sleek, modern look and knowledge for a functional, user friendly design were both unparalleled. Not only was the design spot on, but the SEO and analytics tools are at industry standard or better. Pricing is very fair, straightforward, and in line with the market. They outlined from the very beginning what was going to be delivered for what price and they made good on that promise. We're excited to be working with such a great small, local company and look forward to what the future holds. Highly recommended.

      I am the Curator on the Battleship NORTH CAROLINA and a team and I started working with Wide Open Tech in Spring 2023 to design and launch a new website. Mel and his team were very professional, listened to their client, presented various design options and asked for reviews. It was a very smooth process and the design work was first rate. By working as a team the new website was launched in 4 months which is outstanding. I would highly recommend Wide Open Tech for your new website.
