Web Design Review from Grace Dahlstrom

DesignX completely transformed our web presence. They built us a custom e-commerce site with SEO optimization, CRM integration, micro animations, and conversion-focused design, all delivered on schedule. The team was responsive, professional, and genuinely invested in making our brand shine. They went above and beyond on copywriting, image optimization, page speed, and responsive design. The only point is attention to detail as several times an issue had to be mentioned 5 separate times before it got fixed.

UI/UX Design Review from Aron Alexander

We were searching for a group to assist us in creating the UI and structure of a new platform for our customers. Our clients needed to be able to easily and effectively manage the components of their programs through the portal, which had to be incredibly user-friendly. For this project, both new user flows and existing flows that matched the new framework had to be designed. DesignX delivered an excellent service that far above expectations. Our project was under a strict deadline. The DesignX team collaborated with us from the beginning to thoroughly grasp the project's scope and deliverables, even with the little time we had at our disposal. The designer collaborated extensively with us during the project to maintain our objectives and

UI/UX Design Review from Ron Williams

DesignX helped us revamp the entire UI/UX of our patient portal. Initially, we had a couple of meetings, during which my team showed DesignX our current design assets. Then, they created some UI/UX design mock-ups based on what we wanted and focused on the platforms ease of use. Throughout the project, we went back and forth with DesignX team to discuss things we wanted to change. DesignX gave us different variations and versions of the UI/UX designs and let us pick between them. We recently finished implementing the UI/UX designs that DesignX created for us, so we launched our new portal recently. Thus far, we've received a few positive reviews from our patients on it. They're very happy with the new platform, as it looks much nicer and much cleaner, and its also easier to use. Additionally, we were absolutely pleased with the quality of the work we received.

SEO Review from Katie Vogl

Jason Ortman provided an excellent initial consultation and onboarding experience for our paid advertising project. He took the time to understand our goals, explained the campaign process clearly, and outlined what we could expect as the project moved forward. Jason's communication has been prompt, professional, and personable. He also introduced us to the campaign dashboard, which provides convenient access to the information and performance details the team will be monitoring. I appreciate Jason's transparency, organization, and willingness to answer questions. He has made the beginning of the project straightforward and positive, and I look forward to continuing our work with him and the Zoek team.

Web Development Review from Felisha Puricelli

Working with the Zoek team on our new nonprofit's website, branding, and marketing has been such a wonderful experience from start to finish. As a brand-new nonprofit, we came to them with big ideas, some pretty out-there descriptions of what we were picturing, and honestly, a lot to figure out along the way and they took every bit of it and brought it to life better than we could have imagined. Our logo, especially, came from some genuinely wild descriptions on my part, and they somehow turned that into exactly what we didn't know we needed. Jason is an absolute MVP and handled our website with so much skill and patience. Marlene brought incredible creativity to our design and marketing materials every time I sent over an idea, she made it better. And Kesley has been our go-to connection to the whole team, always communicating clearly and making sure everything stayed on track. What stood out most is how well this team listens and communicates. They took our vision seriously, asked the right questions, and delivered work we're genuinely proud to put our name on. If you're a nonprofit (or any organization) looking for a marketing team that will treat your ideas like their own, I can't recommend Zoek enough and Jason, Marlene, and Kesley in particular.

I am submitting this review to share my experience with Zoek, specifically regarding unresolved issues under our contract dated 03/13/2025. Despite numerous attempts to address my concerns, Zoeks responses have been inadequate. I am requesting a full refund for all services paid and clarification regarding ongoing site management and ADA compliance. Services Purchased and Fees Total paid: $2,689 for Zoeks Core Managed Site Services Included fees: $540 ADA annual fee, $50 setup fee Unresolved Issues No progress reports provided No confirmation of XML sitemap submission Website content remains unindexed No evidence of site speed optimization Canonical link issues remain unresolved Promised backlinks have not been delivered Communication Problems Communication with Zoek has been disappointing. Updates have been infrequent, and marketing calls have disrupted the process. Emails sent on 09/03/2025, 09/13/2025, 10/04/2025, and 10/06/2025 have gone unanswered. Conclusion Due to Zoeks lack of communication and failure to meet contractual obligations, I have experienced inconvenience and financial loss. I urge Zoek to take prompt action to resolve these issues by issuing a full refund and providing clear answers regarding ongoing site management and ADA compliance.

I had the pleasure of working with RNO1 on a web transformation project in CalypsoAI and couldn't be happier. Right from the start, it was clear that they had a very skilled workforce, that had data architects as well as UX designers on board. They gave us a first implementation of your platform to work before your deadline and this demonstrates that they are conscious of time and the quality they want to offer. The look and feel design talents of RN01 are on par with the finest User Interface design and UX skills, moreover, the backend programming is also excellent. Most noticeable was their ability to fit into our working environment and improve the efficiency of our team while advancing the projects. Well done and organized they ensured the entire period was smooth and productive. As for web design and CMS development, I have no reservations in recommending RN01. They can really be considered as an innovation partner.

Brand Design Review from Jevan Lautz

We partnered with Zamora Design to update our branding and improve how our company is presented to clients. Borja was very attentive during the discovery phase, asking the right questions to understand not just our brand, but also how we interact with our customers. The final designs were polished and professional, and they gave us a more consistent identity across our client materials. We noticed an immediate difference in how prospects responded to our proposals and presentations. One area that could be improved is adding a bit more variety in the initial concept stage. However, the revisions we received quickly addressed our feedback, and the process stayed on track without delays. Overall, Zamora Design proved to be a reliable partner who blends creativity with a strong sense of business needs. We would recommend them to any company looking for branding that feels both modern and practical.

He didnt just design slides; he helped us sharpen our story, improve clarity, and highlight the most important metrics that investors care about. The process was smooth and highly collaborative. Borja was transparent with timelines, gave clear milestones, and consistently delivered ahead of schedule. The new deck and refreshed branding made an immediate impactwe presented to investors with confidence and successfully closed funding shortly after. What stood out the most was how ROI-focused the design was. Everything created wasnt just beautiful but also functional, ensuring our message converted. This is rare in design agencies. I would highly recommend Zamora Design to any startup or business that needs strategic storytelling and high-quality design. The investment was more than worth it.

The campaign not only helped improve patient outcomes but also effectively promoted the benefits of utilizing non-facility-based imaging and laboratory testing. The messaging was clear, compelling, and perfectly aligned with our strategic goals. What impressed us most was how far beyond expectations Division of Labor went. Their creativity, responsiveness, and can-do attitude made working with them an absolute pleasure. No matter the challenge, their mindset is essentially: If theres a question, the answer is yes just tell us what the question is.

Ive had the opportunity to collaborate with numerous creative agencies throughout my career and BayCreative has delivered the level of insight, professionalism, and genuine partnership that I have experienced with the best of them. They have been true collaborators, invested in CFCUs vision and committed to helping us bring it to life. Our relationship with BayCreative began when we sought to undertake a full-scale rebranding initiative. CFCU has always prided itself on serving our community with a people-first approach, but we needed a refreshed identity that reflected who weve become and where were heading. We didnt just want a new logo or a new color palettewe wanted to redefine what Community First stood for in the modern financial landscape. BayCreative understood that right away. From the earliest discovery conversations, the BC team listened carefully, challenged us thoughtfully, and helped uncover an authentic narrative at the core of our brand. They guided us not toward trends or gimmicks, but toward something enduring and true to who we are. They have a team of talented creatives who brought our new brand identity to life. From graphic designers to copywriters to video editors, the BayCreative team demonstrated deep expertise. The final deliverables included a refreshed logo, a full identity package, and a bold new brand positioning platform we now call The New Local. This wasnt just a tagline or a sloganit was a strategic redefinition of who we are and why we exist. If you are looking for an agency that will take the time to understand your organization, push your thinking in productive ways, and deliver exceptional creative with professionalism, I cannot recommend BayCreative more highly. They are the real deal!

Chris's passion for driving growth for small and medium-sized businesses is evident in every interaction. His deep understanding of brand strategy and messaging, combined with his personal touch, made the entire process feel collaborative and tailored to our unique needs.

It wasn't just a document; it was a comprehensive guide that captured the essence of our brand, resonating with our target audience's needs and interests. Every page was a testament to CRC's meticulous process and dedication to authenticity. Working with Chris was a masterclass in branding. His approach is both analytical and creative, ensuring that every decision is backed by data and sharply insightful. In conclusion, if you're looking for a branding agency that combines craft, process, and experience to deliver unparalleled results, look no further than CRC.

Our brand has never been stronger, and we owe a significant part of that success to Chris and his exceptional team.

Mobile App Development Review from DJA

We paid $117,000 across two contracts $68,000 for development and $49,000 for marketing to Naked Development for a consumer-ready iOS and Android app and a full marketing funnel. They delivered neither. We originally requested delivery by Black Friday, the most critical sales window for a parent-focused consumer app. Naked Development proposed December as an alternative. That deadline was their own suggestion. They missed it. We extended to January, then February, then April, then issued a formal written Notice of Breach before giving them one final deadline the following June. Every deadline was missed. We were over 300% over timeline. When we finally handed the codebase to a second development firm, the app would not build on either iOS or Android. We paid thousands just to get it running enough to assess the damage. The contracted team was never fully assembled. Tickets were put on hold without explanation. Subscription management, the most critical feature of the app, was broken for months and never fixed by Naked. The commercial video Naked produced was unusable by launch, as cultural references had gone stale during the delay. We are software engineers who have led teams of over 100. These were not minor issues. They were basic, objective engineering failures. When we raised breach concerns with founder John Driscoll, his response was "let's just let our lawyers talk about it." We are aware of more than a dozen other former clients who experienced similar issues. Do not recommend.

Mimi Bouchard CEO at Superhuman Inc.

Mobile App Development Review from Mimi Bouchard

I hired Naked Development in 2022 to build a new version of my mobile app. I paid $203,000 upfront (spread over six months essentially everything I had saved from my first year in business), and was told the app would be completed in five months, by Fall 2022. Instead, the project turned into nearly a year of delays, almost done updates, and declining involvement from their team. My very small internal team and I ended up doing much of the project management and QA work ourselves because progress had stalled so severely. Despite constant reassurances, no functional product was ever delivered. By mid-2023, I hired multiple external development teams to assess the code. Every single one independently concluded that the app was non-functional, unstable, not scalable, and could not be launched. They warned it would crash immediately and required a complete rebuild. I then hired a neutral third-party auditor with zero connection to any agency and his report confirmed the same findings. After paying over $200K, I had nothing usable. When I factored in delays, internal time lost, expert audits, and the cost of rebuilding from scratch, the financial impact to my business exceeded $500,000. After multiple attempts to resolve the situation privately were unsuccessful, I filed a lawsuit, which is now a matter of public record (Superhuman Inc. v. Naked Development). The case is set for trial in early 2026. While litigation is never something a founder hopes for, at a certain point it became the only responsible path given the evidence and the financial damage. I strongly recommend extreme caution when considering this agency.
