      Tobi and her team have truly been a blessing to work with. When I first reached out to Instinctive Branding, Tobi told me, "I do business with people, not businesses." That mindset has guided every step of her work — and I couldn’t be more grateful.As someone who’s extremely Type A and a bit of a perfectionist, I deeply appreciated how patient, attentive, and detail-oriented the entire team was. They took the time to understand my vision and made sure every element reflected exactly what I was hoping for. I’m thrilled with the results and so thankful for their support.

      We have known about the work Pathos Ethos does for several years now, and when it was time for us to create our new website they were our first choice. Sam and Isaac do you great job running the company, and Alex was easy to work with to add the features we were looking for. They are a very creative team of people, and believe in the highest level of customer service.

      I had the pleasure of working with Rodney, the owner of Cardinal Group Marketing, on rebuilding my website, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Throughout the process, I changed my mind several times and even had a few last-minute requests. Rodney was incredibly patient, never judgmental, and always willing to make the adjustments I asked for.What really stood out was how thoughtful and professional he was when it came to guiding me through more significant changes. Before moving forward, he took the time to explain why certain design elements or functions worked better for aesthetics, usability, and overall performance. His expertise gave me the confidence that my site wouldn’t just look the way I envisioned but would also function smoothly for visitors.The end result exceeded my expectations. Rodney blends technical skill with a true eye for design and, most importantly, a commitment to client satisfaction. If you’re looking for someone who is knowledgeable, patient, and dedicated to bringing your vision to life while making sure it works at its best, Rodney and Cardinal Group Marketing are the way to go.

      Had Rodney redesign my site and optimize it for mobile. He was super responsive, got the site done faster than initially promised, and was very patient walking me through how to manage everything on the backend. The new site looks amazing! Rodney is the man, highly recommend his services.

      I had a great call with Rodney to discuss the revamp of my Pilates studio website, and I couldn’t be more confident in the direction we’re heading. He was incredibly thorough in understanding my vision, walking through my current site with care and offering thoughtful recommendations on layout, photography, and content organization.One of the things I really appreciated was how he explained the value of having a branding kit and a refreshed logo—both of which we’ve now included in my package. It’s clear that Rodney not only has a strong design eye but also understands the importance of cohesive brand identity.After viewing his portfolio—especially his work with other Pilates studios—I knew I was in good hands. His aesthetic is exactly what I’ve been looking for: fresh, minimalist, and modern. I’m excited to see the transformation unfold!Here’s a “before” of my current site, and I’ll be sure to update with an “after” link once Rodney works his magic.
