Monica's Review Sourced from Google
Amazing and talented people. I’ve worked for both client and agency side and can can say their partnership is amazing. They truly care about ongoing operations and not just ending it at a project level. Highly recommend! Message me if you want specifics.
John Andesilich's Review Sourced from Google
I own a marketing firm in Troy MO and I recently met with Calvin at Sketch Development Services to discuss a software development project I have been thinking about pursuing. He was very nice, easy to speak to and even though his field is a bit out of my knowledge base, he was able to explain things in a way that made perfect sense. I look forward to working with him and his team in the future and recommend anyone looking for a software or app development company to give them a try.

IT Services Review from Taras Oliinyk
The project involved developing a mobile app for an e-commerce client, with U1CORE building the marketplace and WEZOM responsible for the mobile application. Both companies worked as partners on the same product, so the mobile app had to fit naturally into the marketplace's functionality. WEZOM brought solid mobile development expertise to the project and built the application around the marketplace requirements. Their team was able to work within the shared product setup and keep the mobile functionality consistent as the project progressed. We would be happy to work with WEZOM again on similar projects!

eCommerce Development Review from Ivan Usenko
We involved WEZOM to support the technical side of a U.S. e-commerce client's advertising setup. Our team handled PPC and marketing, while WEZOM implemented server-side tracking and profit-based ROAS attribution.Their technical work fit well into the client's existing setup and gave us a more reliable view of campaign performance. This made it easier to assess results and adjust advertising spend accordingly. Overall, we had a positive experience with WEZOM!

eCommerce Development Review from Max Zakhozhiy
For one of our jewelry e-commerce clients, WEZOM took care of the website development while our team handled its promotion. The teams coordinated well throughout the project, especially on technical requirements that could affect the websites future promotion. WEZOM was open to our input and made it easy to align development with the client's marketing needs. The finished website gave us a good foundation for ongoing promotion, and we were happy with how the two teams worked together. We'd be glad to collaborate with WEZOM again.

eCommerce Development Review from Jeffrey Weiss
I've worked with Table XI for the last 9 years on a University-wide system to manage transactions at over 70 centralized service facilities. It has been an outstanding experience. The system performs well and is rock solid. We've extended the feature set far beyond our initial scope and they've handled our needs without pause. My favorite part is the responsiveness. I've never been left waiting for a reply, and I have never seen an issue go unresolved in a short span of time. Great partners.

Software Development Review from Matt Frey
Table XI did a really good job kicking off the project by helping us with requirements gathering and project planning. They had some great exercises to facilitate this process and I particularly enjoyed how they teased out how flexible we were in terms of scope, budget, quality, and timeline. Doing so helped us ensure our expectations were all aligned prior to starting work. Table XI also maintains a great engineering culture, which was exhibited by their engineers.

Mobile App Development Review from Mark Otter
TableXI has supported Participate on a lot of different levels and in a variety of projects - ranging from project management to product development, user research, or design work - and we are a smatter and more equipped organization because of it. Our staff picked up lots of new skills by working with the talented folks at TableXI. All projects were delivered on time, with quality, and within budget.

Came across these folks at the Logan Sq Farmers Market and am glad I did. Delicious, healthy snacks. Love supporting a business that gives employment opportunities to individuals with disabilities. Highly recommend checking out Fueled by AF!
Savannah Visor's Review Sourced from Google
I bought a variety pack of protein bites from the Made in Chicago Market. They taste really good and have a nice amount of protein. The chocolate chip cookie dough and fudge brownie are my favorites. The serving size is 3 seperate bites, but I was satisfied after 2. They are a great snack! If I’m just a little hungry and want something a tad sweet it’ll be great to just grab one from the fridge.
Jerry Vachaparambil's Review Sourced from Google
Came across Fueled by AF at the Elmhurst Farmers Market, big fan of their mission and these maple pecan protein bites!
