Big Human Reviews & Testimonials

Brand Messaging Review from Carlyn Reeves
The Big Human team was amazing at helping us bring our new product to life. They helped us through our branding exercise that yielded our brand logo, style guide and messaging library as well as front end website and email style guidelines. Andrew, Maj and team were helpful, kept our group on track and on topic during the workstream meetings. I enjoyed working with the whole team and hope to do it again in the future.

Product Design Review from Joseph Piekarski
Big Human did an amazing job with the refresh of our brand and the complete redesign of our e-commerce site. The team was consistently easy to work with, responsive, and always game to innovate and find new ways to communicate our brand to the audience. The engagement was completed with brand guidelines that we continue to implement at conventions and sales events. Id definitely work with Big Human again, and I recommend them to anyone looking for a brand design or product design partner.

Digital Strategy Review from Cristina Tsanas
Big Human has delivered exceptional work in terms of content, design, and development. Their multi-channel strategy has helped to connect all of Rockefeller Centers offerings under one seamless digital identity, resulting in website supported by smart, engaging content. Big Human revamped Rockefeller Centers online blog, The Center Magazine, and its corresponding newsletter, The Center, to elevate the brand, entice visitors, and raise excitement around on-campus happenings.

Handbook Reviews & Testimonials

Web Development Review from Liz Ryan
Handbook handles our website development and web-based front end product development. From the initial concept to the final launch, the team always demonstrates a deep understanding of our needs, and delivers on the requirements quickly and completely.If you're looking for a skilled, reliable, and innovative website developer, I highly recommend Handbook. They have been a fantastic partner, and we look forward to working with them again in the future!

Web Development Review from Victoria Lee
I can count on one hand the number of companies Ive worked with in my career that possess the same level of dedication, responsiveness, attention to detail, and trustworthiness as that of an internal team and thats because theres only one: Handbook.First and foremost, Id like to say that if you're considering working with Handbook for your design and/or website development needs, you absolutely will not regret it. The Handbook team goes beyond simply executing our requests, which has not only been refreshing but has also been key to our growth as an online SaaS business.Handbook genuinely cares about our user experience, website performance, and broader business goals. Instead of just implementing what we ask for, they actively evaluate our needs and offer thoughtful recommendations to improve our outcomes.In addition to the quality of work and forward-thinking perspective, we know that we can count on Handbook to be there when we need them. From countless late-night sale asset takedowns to weekend staging QAs so we can feel confident about Monday morning launches, I have never experienced this level of communication and dedication from a company.I would recommend Handbook time and time again to absolutely anyone in need of web development, design, or messaging support. These guys are a rare find and your only regret will be that you didn't start working with them sooner.

Web Design Review from ✌🏻Jason Steele
Pat and team are great web designers and developers who have really helped us out in multiple areas of web design and development. Trustworthy, easy to communicate with, and I feel like they go the extra mile. Will definitely work with the team again.

Healthcare2U Contact's Review Sourced from Google
The people at Straight North were so organized and efficient. Although we ultimately had to go in a different direction due to a change in design needs, the discovery process was very smooth. They devoted significant time to understanding what we needed from the project, and we greatly appreciated it!
Trevor Fulmer's Review Sourced from Google
Working with Straight North has been a great experience. Their team developed a digital marketing strategy tailored specifically to my business. Since working together, I have seen noticeable improvements in Google rankings and website visibility.From SEO strategy and keyword targeting to content recommendations and website optimization, every recommendation was excellent.As an interior design studio, visibility and search performance are incredibly important, and Straight North has helped strengthen both!
Jenny S's Review Sourced from Google
Working with Straight North was an incredible experience from start to finish! When I started looking for web designers, I narrowed it down to four companies, and Straight North was the only one who really took the time to get to know me, our business, and why our goals matter. That personal connection made all the difference.Once we got started, I was blown away by the thought and detail that went into every part of the process. What stood out the most was how open and receptive the team was to my feedback. I truly felt like a part of the process, not just another customer.Our new website is absolutely stunning and perfectly captures who we are and what our brand stands for. I couldn’t be happier with the finished website or with the experience of working with Straight North.Building a great website is truly a collaborative effort, and I’ve learned that the more you put in, the more you get out. I encourage anyone working with Straight North, or any design team to be open, share your vision, and really take the time to engage in the process. The result will be worth it, I promise!Thank you, Straight North, for an amazing experience and a website that we’re so proud of!

I can't say enough good things about this company. Diane and her team deliver. They deliver on time and (often times for my company) under tight deadlines and quality is NEVER compromised. They go above and beyond to make things happen for us. By far the best vendor I've EVER worked with and I'll work with them forever!
