      Web Design Review from Lisa MacCarley

      I hired JQ Design Labs to create a simple, professional but unique logo - they came up with something I absolutely love.I asked them to re-work my website so it was more tailored to the work I want to do from now until I retired. The new website is perfect.I asked them to design and order business cards that were more modern and easy for seniors to read. They nailed it perfectly.

      Working with JQ Design Labs has been nothing short of amazing! Jeremy and his team are incredibly creative, detail-oriented, and always deliver beyond expectations. Over the past 7 years, they've brought my vision to life time and time again from stunning websites and pitch decks to my book design, business cards, and logos. Every project feels like a true collaboration with professionals who get it.Their turnaround time, creativity, and commitment to excellence are unmatched. I'm so grateful for their expertise and can't imagine trusting anyone else with my brand. I highly recommend.

      I’m so grateful to have found Jay and the team at 3 Aces! The level of professionalism, dedication and skill is unparalleled. I’m so thrilled with my branding, website and the experience as a whole. It’s amazing thing to see a vision come to life and with 3Aces’ tireless efforts the result is better than I could have imagined. I truly appreciate and marvel and their commitment to get it right and to exceed the customer’s expectations. Throughout this process, I felt truly heard and that my vision mattered as much to them as it did to me. Thank you 3 Aces for all of your work to make my dream a reality!

      Trina's Review Sourced from Google

      In early October, I started wondering whether I should hire a website developer to help build a site for my new family mediation business. I decided to post the job on Bark and received messages from about eight different companies. I scheduled interviews to find the right fit.The first interview I had was with Jay from 3 Ace Technologies—and we hit it off immediately. There was a warmth and confidence about him that made me feel he could bring my vision to life.Still, I kept interviewing. No one else came close.I chose to work with Jay and 3 Ace Technologies. From the very beginning, Jay understood that I had little experience starting a business or designing a website. He promised to guide me through every step—and he delivered.Jay took the time to explain the entire process, guided me on what I needed to complete, responded quickly to my questions and concerns, brainstormed ideas with me, and did everything possible to ensure I ended up with a website I loved.I’ll admit—I’m particular and detail-oriented. I often reviewed things and sent Jay a slew of messages, sometimes late at night. By morning, Jay would respond with affirming, supportive, and encouraging messages, always happy to make changes or do whatever was needed. His sole goal was to make me happy and deliver the product of my dreams. At times, his professionalism, kindness, patience, and willingness to go the extra mile felt almost too good to be true.While my website was under construction, Jay also began working on my social media campaign—a mix of static posts, reels, and carousels. Again, he was incredibly responsive to feedback and designed perfect templates that reflected my brand. He and his team have been amazing with the campaign, and I couldn’t be happier.Oh, and I almost forgot—they also designed my logo and branding, including business cards, all of which I absolutely love!You might think I spent a fortune for all this. Not at all! Their pricing was incredibly fair for everything I received.My experience with Jay and 3 Ace Technologies has been truly incredible. In fact, I’ve already referred a close friend after she saw my website and loved it.I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jay and his team to anyone needing digital services. I’ll continue working with them for all my future needs as well.This experience has been amazing from start to finish. I can’t thank Jay and his team enough for turning my dream into reality—with professionalism, kindness, precision, and patience every step of the way.

      Tanee Forbes's Review Sourced from Google

      I had a very positive experience working with this company on my custom packaging order for my luxury beadable pen business, Creative Expression Outlets LLC.From the first phone call, the process was handled professionally. Luke was my main point of contact, and he was helpful, responsive, and thorough throughout the entire process. He asked strong, thoughtful questions to better understand exactly what I needed, and the email communication was clear from start to finish.Before reaching out, I had done an exhaustive search online for pen boxes and could not find anything that truly fit the presentation I wanted. I knew this packaging would need to be created in a very specific and unique way for my brand.Once we moved into the design stage, I received the die-cut/dieline information and was able to review the direction before moving forward. When the first samples/prototypes arrived, the overall look and quality were very good, but there were a few details that needed refinement to better match the luxury presentation I wanted for my pens.I explained the adjustments that were needed, and Luke made sure my concerns were taken seriously. The corrections were made, and the final product turned out beautifully.The finished packaging is professional, clean, and aligned with the quality I wanted for my business. This was a unique custom project, and I am very pleased with the results.I would absolutely use this company again and would recommend them to other business owners looking for custom packaging.

      The rigid style boxes with magnetic closures that I received were of outstanding quality. The colors were bright and vibrant, along with the exact dimensions I wanted! It was a pleasure working with Travis as he provided excellent customer service and communication skills. Will definitely be returning to make future purchases. Highly recommend!!

      After having a bad experience with Elite, I received a call from Cody. My guess, he's a CSR. I was impressed with his passion for customer service so I decided to give them another try. Cody was on top of the job and exceeded my expectations. The boxes were perfect and delivered quicker than promised. I ended up giving them another job. This second box was absolutely magnificent. The prices are fair, the work is good and the delivery was early. My customer is happy...I highly recommend Elite for any custom box. Pics are attached.
