eCommerce Development Review from Kelly Johnson
Since partnering with Bilberry, we have seen a marked improvement in our websites stability and performance. Their team manages our backlogged issues with such efficiency that our monthly development spend has actually decreased. Estimates are consistently accurate, and we appreciate their proactive communication; if a projects scope evolves, they provide an updated estimate for approval before moving forward. Our monthly sprints are now seamless thanks to their reliable planning and ability to scale resources rapidly to meet even the tightest deadlines.

Web Development Review from Adam Ely, PMP
As Director of Operations at Sands Investment Group, I partnered with Bilberrry to lead the redesign and rebuild of our website, enhance our marketing operations, and streamline internal workflows. We chose Bilberrry for their strong technical capabilities, cultural alignment, and outstanding reputation. The project followed a well-structured four-phase process: discovery, design, development, and launch. From the beginning, Bilberrry took a strategic and collaborative approach, conducting workshops and technical audits to define a scalable architecture and intuitive user experience. Their team went on to create custom designs for more than 20 pages, build a flexible design system, and ensure the site met key standards for SEO and accessibility.On the development side, they customized a robust content management system tailored to our needs, incorporating dynamic listing features such as saved searches, email alerts, and early-access content for select users. The new site also connected seamlessly with our internal tools, enabling greater efficiency and automation across teams.The impact was immediate and significant: we saw a dramatic reduction in manual processes. Our team is now better equipped to manage content independently, while the platform itself is built for long-term scalability and performance.Throughout the process, Bilberrry was responsive, professional, and incredibly easy to work with. They communicated clearly, incorporated feedback quickly, and consistently brought thoughtful, strategic ideas to the table. Bilberrry's unique blend of strategic insight, technical depth, and design acumen made them an invaluable partner in creating a high-performing, visually polished digital platform tailored to our business.
Bilberrry’s work gave our new website improved performance, greater SEO flexibility, and pages that are much easier to build. They delivered everything on time and kept communication proactive throughout. Their strong project management, technical expertise, and responsiveness built real trust during the process.

Dave Schaaf Review from Google
5.0★
Dave Schaaf's Review Sourced from Google
Roaring Creek Machine is a world-class team of clever and capable engineers. They delivered an exceptionally well thought out design of a machine, and they did it for half the budget that other teams had quoted. It is rare to find that combination of talent and capability that can over deliver and easily meet the budget. Dan stayed in regular communication with me through the process and incorporated my feedback through the design process. The end result is far superior to anything I had imagined going into this project. I cannot recommend Roaring Creek highly enough.

Web Design Review from Nilesh Sharma
I have the great pleasure of working with Stoke Venture for a joint project and I couldn’t recommend Andrew and his team enough.

His attention to detail, process drive approach, and ability to deliver complex deliverables with quick turnaround is commendable. Stoke Venture have been great partners in building our product and bringing it to life.
I had a great experience working with Stoke Ventures/Andrew Lees. Andrew was able to help get my project investor-ready. Andrew was very responsive, answered all of my questions, and was a pleasure to work with. He pointed me in the right direction for my next steps and let me know what he is able to help with. He definitely knows his stuff and I look forward to continuing to work with him on my current and future projects.
Working with Andrew has been an absolute pleasure! He has the technical skill and knowledge that makes it easy to bring a product to life with ease. The entire process was so streamlined it almost seemed effortless. The few revisions needed to perfect our product were addressed quickly and with the utmost professionalism. I will definitely use his expertise on future projects. I highly recommend him for any project, big or small!
