      Web Development Review from Robin Baradarian

      As the owner of ExoClinic Spa, and a physician with more than 30 years of experience building medical practices and businesses, I can say unequivocally that working with Digital Silk has been an extraordinary experience and the best I have had with any web development company to date.From the very beginning, their team demonstrated a rare combination of professionalism, strategic intelligence, and genuine partnership. They took the time to truly understand our brand, our medical standards, and our long-term vision. This was not a transactional engagement; it was a collaborative process grounded in respect, insight, and excellence.Digital Silks communication was consistently clear, proactive, and reliable. Every recommendation was thoughtful and data-driven, and every step of the project was handled with precision and care. They seamlessly balanced sophisticated design with the credibility and trust required in a medical and wellness setting something very few firms manage to do well.The final product exceeded my expectations in every way. The website is elegant, intuitive, fast, and perfectly aligned with the level of care and innovation we deliver at ExoClinic Spa. Their attention to detail, project management, and internal coordination were exceptional.After three decades of working with countless vendors across industries, I can confidently say Digital Silk stands above all others. They are not just a web development company they are a true strategic partner. I trust them completely and recommend them without reservation.

      Sketchy method of cold calling to get leads by claiming they talked to someone else at my org that they did not in fact talk to. Called on my personal cell phone. Would not do business with them if the engage this this type of misleading lead generation.

      Sketchy people would be a polite way to put it.Kept sending advertisements to a general email box, I responded asking to unsubscribe, they started sending those advertisements to the email from which I responded.I wouldn't trust these people to do anything.

      Aly Schweigert's Review Sourced from Google

      I had the wonderful opportunity to work at Cleriti towards the beginning of my career. Since then, I've moved on to work with a variety of marketing vendors as a client. Years later, Cleriti still stands out. They exemplify everything that is wonderful about working with a boutique marketing agency -- account managers who truly care about getting results and who feel helping their clients achieve their marketing goals is more important than just phoning in standard best practice suggestions. If you're looking for a local agency, you definitely should give Cleriti a chance to pitch for your business.

      The team at Cleriti developed a strong website presence for NaviStone in a short period of time. Their content development has been excellent, both from a quantity and quality perspective. They have developed a strong understanding of both our product line and our voice, and done so quickly. And, they have not missed a deadline since we began working with them.
