Anisha Jennings's Review Sourced from Google
Working with Kat is the best investment I've made. She is so knowledgeable, very sweet, patient and on point. She is super organized and listens patiently to understand where you're at in your business. She asks very good questions to come up with a detailed plan. She has given me so much information and resources in just 4 sessions with her. I highly recommend her as a mentor to anyone in the website design business or anyone considering building a business as a website designer. Thank you, Kat! You're amazing and I adore you!!
Jennifer Hickman's Review Sourced from Google
I created a website for my new business a couple of years ago. I was not getting any traffic and knew that something was not right about it. Having no experience in web design, I had no idea where to start. Kat did an audit of my website. She created a spreadsheet of her recommendations with a priority for each one. She also gave me resources on how to implement those recommendations. I am no longer overwhelmed, but am excited to make those changes!
Eleanor Mcaree's Review Sourced from Google
Couldn't rate Kat more! If you're looking for a skilled, reliable, and creative web developer who genuinely cares about your project, we highly recommend her. 5 stars!

Web Development Review from Joshua J. Scott
We've used Good Code in the past and had good satisfaction with the work. In this project, unfortunately we had a bad experience.The situation:1. We had a front end project that we wanted to get done externally because our internal devs were focused on other projects2. The project was fully taped out, high fidelity designs were complete, and the back end was finished prior3. GoodCode quoted 60 hours to complete the work, terms were agreed to and the project was scheduled4. The developer who was assigned was a new hire to GoodCode which gave some pause, but we had good experiences prior so we assumed it would be the same5. There were no updates sent to us as the project progressed6. Project went over the 60 hours with no notice until right before delivery that it exceeded the amount by 20+ hours7. The developer opened a 5,156 line PR with our team for delivery8. When we asked to break up the PR for easier review, was told we would have to pay for the hours to do so9. We refused to pay more given the project had already significantly exceeded the estimateWe tried to appeal that this service was unacceptable given how much we were paying per hour for Good Code expertise. They refused.While they were responsive and within a reasonable time frame of delivery, I was very disappointed in how this project turned out.

Website Redesign Review from Chad Q. Martin
I've known Dave Benton, CEO of Metajive, for more than a decade, and worked with him and his team on multiple projects, large and small. Having also worked with several of the most prestigious agencies in the world through my role at HP, I can testify that Metajive stands toe-to-toe with the most recognized agencies, and far exceeds them in many cases. Before I was at HP, I ran my own tiny web & app design agency for a dozen years, so when I work with a team on web and digital projects, I have a deep enough understanding of the big picture and the details to be able to evaluate a team's capabilities. But to a person, every individual on the multiple teams I've worked with have had such a deep level of expertise that they simply blow my knowledge out of the water. Whether it's high level framing, marketing insights, a vast history of implementing technical details, off-the-charts visual and interaction design, storytelling... they are absolute masters at the trade. I quickly learned that I could load them up with as much helpful context as possible and then get out of their way... they would deliver far beyond my expectations every time. Simply put, Metajive operates at the top of the field, are experts across every domain in which they work, and are fantastic people to spend time around. You want them working for you instead of your competition.
Digital Services Review from Ricardo Camargo
Metajive has always delivered strategy first digital work. The project was a complex digital platform and the team delivered exceptional work.
Digital Services Review from Lyndi Parrett
Working with Metajive has been an exceptional experience from start to finish. Their team consistently delivered high-quality work that exceeded our expectations while maintaining strict adherence to project timelines. What impressed me most was their efficiency they managed to streamline processes without ever compromising on the quality of their deliverables.Communication was outstanding throughout our partnership. The Metajive team proved to be incredibly responsive, often getting back to us within hours of our inquiries. More importantly, they demonstrated excellent listening skills, truly understanding our needs and vision before proposing solutions. This attention to detail made all the difference in the projects success.When we encountered complex technical challenges, Metajives problem-solving capabilities really shone. They didnt just execute tasks they brought strategic thinking to every aspect of the project. Their approach was consultative rather than transactional, making them feel like true partners rather than just service providers. They offered valuable insights and recommendations that enhanced our original concept and helped us achieve better results than we initially envisioned.Throughout the entire project lifecycle, Metajive maintained this collaborative partnership approach. They were proactive in identifying potential issues, transparent about progress, and flexible when project requirements evolved.I was thoroughly satisfied with both the partnership experience and the final project outcome. The professionalism, expertise, and dedication shown by the Metajive team make them an invaluable partner for any digital project. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking a reliable, strategic, and results-driven digital web agency.

Product Design Review from Brandon Wong
If you're looking to develop a product, look no further. Whether or not your an aspiring entreprenuer who is ready to appear on Shark Tank or a Fortune 500 company, Phil and his team at StudioRed will have your back. We initially developed a product using another engineering firm that went sideways. Because of this, we started looking at other firms to help pick up where we left off. Trust me, we were not in good shape! After some formidable research, we found StudioRed's expertise and portfolio to be a perfect match. An initial phone call with the owner sealed the deal. They immediatley jumped to help our situation and utilized all their resources and network to get what we needed accomplished. I've dealt with dozens of vendors being a business owner for nearly a decade and this was by far one of the best experiecnes we've ever had, hands down. Thank you Phil and the team and SR for everything!
Product Design Review from George Flanigan
Studio Red rocks! As a business owner myself, finding a company that is very professional, structured, efficient and has amazing customer service is rare in this day and age. They helped me bring my original prototype to life. Once proven and tested, it was time to revise and bring the professional feel of the product to the fore front. Studio Red had their team jump right in and provided us with multiple visions to choose from. Without their help, I never could have accomplished such an amazing prototype. I would recommend them to anyone. I would also like to thank everyone at Studio Red for doing such a great job. Cheers.

They know all the ins and outs of the industrial design and think several steps ahead to avoid potential pitfalls.4.

I bought my Omnium from these guys and I gotta say it is running smoother than expected. They were not lying in the brochure when they said you would need a large plot of land to set it up, but luckily I had some farm land that only a few people were using. So done with that and on to the wild world of robot production! So far its made a cool robot that turns into a tank for all terrain cruises, a flock of cross-legged floating dudes who are great at cleaning, and a large centaur-ish creature that is more or less a butler for beverages. The Omnium 3D printer is by far the best purchase I have made in the last decade. It even seems to be learning, today it used my name when I walked in! WHAT COULD GO WRONG!?

With a tight turnaround time and a very public launch, Crema created a beautiful user interface, backend database, and promotional display that activated my product and made it fun and easy to use while perfectly representing my brand. I am so grateful to Crema and will continue to seek opportunities to work with this innovative, creative, and positive group of professionals.
Evan Harmon's Review Sourced from Google
Every experience I've had with Crema has always been a positive one. And every employee I've met there have been incredibly nice, thoughtful, and great to talk to. They have a very cool office space in the Crossroads with great views of KC that just makes you want to hang out there! Crema seems to highly prioritize their company culture by putting on events and having a heathy work/life balance. In short, they seem to really care about people and that carries into their work, judging by how I was able to see their process for developing solutions for their clients at a workshop they held. Using the design sprint methodology, and healthy doses of design thinking, humanistic perspectives, diversity, and pragmatism, they clearly have spent a great deal of effort honing a highly efficient development strategy that makes finding creative solutions a reliable science. It gave me a lot of ideas to bring back to my own projects and meetings! I definitely recommend their design sprint workshop and can only imagine they would be a great company to have tackling your company's challenges.

Justin was a great facilitator and I would recommend using Crema for any Design Sprint needs or even attending the workshop yourself. It was also a great networking opportunity. Highly recommended!

Product Design Review from Chris Milner
UXReactor helped us with a UI/UX research process, which included in-person interviews where they walked users through unboxing, connecting, and using the features of our smart air conditioner. From there, the team took the findings and produced a report for us to make improvements to our app and increase our activation rates. In addition to the report, UXReactor also redesigned some parts of our app using Figma.The project required a very iterative process, so we required more than one discovery call to get started. In fact, they didn't just work with me; we also integrated our consumer marketing insights team to identify participants. We also collaborated with them to figure out how to recruit the right users based on our target customer profiles.Additionally,UXReactor recruited participants for us, going through their database to find actual users. Then, they brought a researcher and a designer to interview all the participants on-site in their location. That was actually a challenge because we're a remote team, but we needed a physical location to show the actual air conditioner to the participants.After the interviews, UXReactor worked with us to go through the results and the report's structure. We had multiple revisions to ensure that we were pulling out the insights I wanted to find on it. After the report was complete, they actually delivered it to our overseas team, doing a presentation that included the insights and recommendations.

They detailed the work they did and then outlined the next items on the list. They brought up potential roadblocks in advance, making sure wed still meet deadlines.UXReactor worked very closely with us, so they were an extended team from my perspective. I could call upon and engage them in discussions, and we had daily standups.They followed a systematic methodology, and that helped us go through the process of doing user research, collecting feedback, and combining that with the existing product features. Using that, we were able to create a framework that allowed us to continue development.

Customer-centered companies consistently outperform weaker competitors.
Namely, in Forrester's 2024 US Customer Experience Index, customer-focused organizations reported 41% faster revenue growth, 49% faster profit growth, and 51% better customer retention than less customer-focused peers.
In practice, that means good product design can influence growth, loyalty, and margin, rather than just aesthetics.
Product design agencies help companies move from ideas to outcomes more efficiently.
IBM reports that organizations see an average ROI of 46% on new digital product creation and 75% on enhancements to existing digital products.
For many businesses, the biggest value of a strong product designer is risk reduction.
Product design companies turn vague ideas into tested concepts, clarify user needs, and catch problems before a company invests too heavily in development or manufacturing.
McKinsey found that around 50% of surveyed companies conducted user research before generating their first design ideas or specifications, which suggests many businesses still move too quickly into execution without enough evidence.
Product design firms also help businesses improve commercial performance.
In digital environments, even minor experience issues can translate into lost sales, lower conversion rates, and weaker retention.
Baymard's 2025 compilation of checkout studies found an average documented cart abandonment rate of 70.22%, which shows how much revenue can disappear when journeys are confusing.

This phase turns a rough idea into a complete, detailed blueprint that developers or manufacturers can actually build.
For digital products, during this phase, experts design exactly how the product looks and works for users.
It includes:
For physical products, during this phase, product designers define how the product looks and how it will be manufactured.
It includes:
Teams create interactive or physical prototypes and test them with users. Iteration is key, and fixing issues early is critical, as defects can cost up to 100× more to fix after launch, according to IBM. This stage ensures the product works in real-world conditions.
Design is translated into a build-ready solution. During this step, product design agencies ensure the final product matches the design vision while remaining technically viable.
After release, the process continues with improvement and scaling. Designers monitor user behavior and engagement, performance metrics, and feedback and usability issues.
Google research shows that companies running continuous experimentation can improve key metrics by 10-30% over time.
