Web Design Review from Jo Maney
DDC has been an excellent partner since we engaged with them in 2023. The DDC team worked with us to completely redesign our website and work to provide ongoing digital marketing services. The DDC team has been responsive, proactive, and thorough with their work. They are also very transparent about how they operate and how much time special projects will require. We have referred DDC to several clients and partners thanks to their outstanding process and product. DDC is a very professional, creative, and well-organized team.

Web Design Review from Sapna Doshi, Ph.D.
My experience working with Design in DC was incredible. Everyone was friendly, approachable, and seemed to genuinely care about helping create the best possible website for my business. They were also invested in making sure the process was one in which I enjoyed and felt taken care of. The regular meetings made me feel like I was a priority and that progress was continually being made. I so appreciated the attention to detail in regards to the user experience. The collaboration in understanding my wishes and desires for the website and user experience was met with patience and paying attention to detail on my behalf. Not only were they taking my suggestions but offering their own to help me maximize the potential of my website. The design and functionality is more than what I could have imagined. I know, undoubtedly, that the work that Design in DC did for me will help my business grow. After wasting money in years past on website designers, I was worried I'd be doing hte same here. I was wrong. I don't think I'll ever need to search for another website designer group again. I would recommend this group to anyone I know. Thank you, Design in DC! It was an absolute pleasure working with all of you!

WordPress Review from Jennifer LaNasa
LaNasa Realty Inc has been around for a long time in the New Orleans area. I reached out to Online Optimism to update my website and tell the story of my family history in the New Orleans area and how I have been involved in this history as a Real Estate Broker early on in my career. I needed a web site to show that LaNasa Realty does all aspects of Real Estate from Commercial Sales and Leasing to Residential Sales, and Rentals. Short term rentals have become very popular in New Orleans.

WordPress Review from Candy Tai
Some of the results we've seen since our work with Online Optimism began is a higher level of engagement with our members. The communication with Online Optimism has been fantastic. They have been so responsive to our needs, to our questions, to understanding what it is we are trying to do and accomplish with our website. They've gone above and beyond communicating with us.

Creative Services Review from Andy Blevins
Social Driver provided branding services for the merger of two national LGBTQ military & veteran nonprofits. They incorporated insight from two boards to produce a name, logo, and branding package. The deliverables have all earned high praise, with the logo and overall brand being versatile and simple. All deadlines were met and communication was a highlight. Their smooth and streamlined process helped us pull everything under the same umbrella to have a united front. I highly recommend them!

Web Design Review from Eileen Kessler
My company worked with Social Driver to redesign the UX/IA for a national scientific organization's extensive research resource that was moving from print to online. There was a tight deadline to conceptualize a new user experience and create a framework that our client could review iteratively. Our client was very pleased with the results of the new interactive framework and design. This design was used for the build of the web site which began immediately upon completion. Highly recommend!

Branding Review from Elyssa Katz
The Outright team is an absolute joy to work with! They took us from a kernel of a brand identity to a fully realized brand, merging two organizations, cultures, and constituencies into one under significant time constraints. Since we began working with Outright in August of 2024, we have developed and launched our core brand and related assets as well as three event brands, three sub brands, and a variety of practical digital and print assets. Not only is Outright's creative consistently excellent, but they are also a practical partner able to work with agility as an extension of your team. Our experience was so positive in initial brand development work that we've continued to work together for over 18 months and have signed them as a partner for separate digital campaign projects where they again delivered results that accomplished our internal team goals and exceeded the expectations of our external stakeholders. I would recommend Outright to anyone looking for a true creative thought partner.

Web Design Review from Kelly Novak
I am so glad we worked with Outright for our website redesign and launch. The Outright team is a pleasure to work with -- thorough, responsive, and patient with the learning curves on our end, and a true thought partner, offering helpful guidance every step, from website functions to aesthetics. The team provided excellent support for our launch. As a nonprofit handling highly sensitive work, we had complete trust in them. We love the finished product, and our audiences do, too!

Kirsten AD's Review Sourced from Google
I've enjoyed working with Artisan both on internal projects and being placed with clients through them. While they don't see the same number of roles as some of the bigger companies, they do tend to get jobs with higher pay rates than some of the other staffing agencies - and definitely advocate for the talent when it comes to dealing with clients. I would definitely recommend getting in touch if you're looking for work in a digital/creative role.

I worked for Artisan as a Contract Copywriter for more than three years. The team did an excellent job finding me a contract with an outstanding company. In addition to a great placement, Artisan provided me with very good benefits, including 401K and some paid time off, which is unusual in the industry. I highly recommend Artisan to anyone who is looking for contract work.

In a world of agencies that are mostly out for a quick buck, they build relationships on both the client and talent side. It is a refreshing change of pace to see such integrity. They are fair and honest people that I worked with for years. If you are looking for talent, or have a talent, I can not recommend them more.
