Raj Patil's Review Sourced from Google
I've worked with my fair share of designers and web developers and SEO agencies and digital this and that over the years. I've never looked as forward to writing a review as I am now.
The Bonsai designer I had the privilege of working with (EF) was *extraordinary* on several fronts. First, top shelf design chops. But, honestly, this isn't uncommon, plenty of killer designers out there. What *is* uncommon is that this same designer also brought a sharp business sensibility to the table, and struck the perfect balance of (a) seeking direction from me (the client) but also (b) presenting his own bold, assertive vision. I'll say it again, finding that combo is incredibly rare. Working with this particular individual was pure, uncut 'joy.' Enough to make me want to find new ways to deepen an existing engagement, or find new ways to engage. (Which I did, and have done, since.)
The real measure of a company isn't necessarily how wonderful things are when everything runs smoothly, but what happens when you experience a wobble or two that are inevitable in a complex, lengthy engagement. How does the firm respond? For context, we'd been working on multiple websites, and multiple initiatives simultaneously. This is where I cannot say enough about their CEO Jason LaBaw. Jason's sincerity, and desire to meet a certain standard was so clear, and compelling, it spoke loudly about what he values as an owner, and as a human, and what he expects of his entire team on both fronts. It is not surprising to see how committed everyone is to meeting that standard, out of a shared desire to deliver excellence.
That's the firm you want as your partner.
Bonsai is on the cutting edge of all things digital marketing. Bonsai continues to deepen its bench with top-shelf talent. (I know their team's evolution because I've been engaged with them for multiple years, and just re-engaged again for more...) Bonsai is the team we're looking to be hitched to, possibly forever, because they walk the talk behind 'wanting to behave like a partner.' How easy is it to say those words at the outset, but how many firms actually live up to it. (With the exception of Bonsai, none, in my experience.)
Bonsai goes the distance. And I look forward to finding new reasons to collaborate with them deep into the future.
