ZERO NEGATIVE Reviews & Testimonials
Web Development Review from Jaroslav Tyman Jr.
We contacted Zero Negative about a two stage renewal of our company website with a very aggressive timeline for the first stage. Zero Negative worked and guided us through pulling off the first stage within our timeline while also ensuring that the content and ideas for that stage were readily applicable to the full design. When we got to the full design, they were fully responsible for corralling the various preferences and ideas from our team into a well executed cohesive site. We're now in a good spot and look forward to continuing to work with Zero Negative as our business and needs grow.
Web Development Review from Susan E. Roberts
Zero Negative did an exceptional job designing my website, roberts-communications.com. From the start, they understood that this wasn't just about aesthetics it was about positioning, credibility, and clarity for a senior-level communications brand.They translated a complex, high-stakes business into a site that feels polished, modern, and authoritative without being flashy or over designed. The process was collaborative, efficient, and thoughtful, and they were responsive to feedback while also offering smart guidance when it mattered.The final result reflects exactly how I want Roberts Communications to be perceived: strategic, sophisticated, and trusted. I would highly recommend Zero Negative to anyone looking for a design partner who understands brand, not just web building.
Web Development Review from Anonymous
These guys are the best! We engaged with Zero Negative to develop a comprehensive web-based system for our factory that allows for managing orders, processes, and inventory. This initiative was essential for us to secure a big ticket client. We truly could not have accomplished this without their assistance. They dedicated considerable time to on-boarding and collecting the requisite information, followed by prototyping the software, and ultimately developing it from scratch. Overall, we are very satisfied.

Thinkhaus Idea Factory Reviews & Testimonials
B2B Review from Adam H. Smith
I have hired Thinkhaus for multiple projects across two companies over the past eight years, including branding, new product development, packaging, and strategic initiatives. Their team is exceptional, consistently bringing top-tier talent to every engagement. They have always delivered on time, on budget, and above expectations. I highly recommend Thinkhaus to any organization seeking a strategic and results-driven partner.
B2B Review from Jerry Koch
Top-Tier Consulting Expertise | Trusted Partner Commitment | World-Class Results Without the Big-Firm Layers. ThinkHaus partnered with us from brand inception through a major strategic evolution three years later. Their ability to help define who we were, shape our brand identity, and articulate a distinctive brand voice by harnessing the collective knowledge of our leadership team, combined with their own deep expertise, was a critical factor in helping us quickly establish a foothold in market. The quality of their work was outstanding. Just as important, ThinkHaus helped us sort out our early strategic evolution as the business matured. Their thoughtful approach demonstrated a rare combination of strategic coaching, branding expertise, business acumen, and the ability to align leadership teams around a common vision. What truly sets ThinkHaus apart is their ability to deliver the caliber of insight, facilitation, and strategic guidance typically associated with top-tier consulting firms while maintaining the responsiveness, accessibility, and personal commitment of a trusted partner. You work directly with experienced professionals who are deeply invested in your success, not layers of consultants. That combination is rare and remarkably effective. Top-tier expertise. Trusted partnership. Outstanding results.
B2B Review from Angie Holt
Thinkhaus has been a trusted partner to us for many years, helping us (re)build the entire sales & marketing strategy of our well-established business, to support a significant business redirection. As a small business, they have supported a cost-conscious strategy that has allowed us to prioritize the most impactful strategies on a budget over time. Thinkhaus has helped implement many different elements over time - brand strategy, new name & logo, new imagery, a new website, SEO, AI search visibility and various marketing support materials for special projects such as trade shows and promotional events. Together, these elements have helped us to stand out from our competitors to secure many new customers over the years.
