      Web Development Review from Chris Bailey

      I engaged their web-development team to rebuild and modernize our company's manufacturing website, and the experience has been exceptional. From the outset, communication was clear and responsive: they took time to understand our industry-specific compliance needs and translated them into a site structure that is clean, secure, and easy to navigate. Delivery was on schedule, and the final result exceeded expectations pages load quickly, the design feels professional and trustworthy, and the content layout supports clarity for both clients and regulators.In addition, the team proactively suggested helpful enhancements: mobile optimization, streamlined navigation, and improved documentation pages all of which have already resulted in noticeably increased user engagement and lower bounce rates. They handled feedback promptly and implemented corrections without fuss, making the collaboration smooth and efficient.Overall, this project added significant value to our online presence, giving us a polished, modern website that accurately reflects our manufacturing standards and commitment to quality. I would gladly work with them again and recommend their services to anyone seeking reliable web development for regulated-industry clients.

      Web Development Review from Kendall MacNabb

      We needed to have a custom guest communication platform built, due to our custom workflows at the business, connecting our team members with text, images, buildings and daily project tasks. Essential Designs was able to hit the exact deadline we had, to the day, and completed on budget. We continue to add on features, it's a good relationship.

      Jason at Vertical Motion has been helping us out with business advisory services for the past few quarters - he has a wide background of experiences to draw from and has helped us successfully navigate a series of new challenges related to executing on our strategic goals and initiatives.

      Matt Schaubroeck's Review Sourced from Google

      Our team has meet a few times with Jason at Vertical Motion over the past year, helping us set up our project management and sprint processes. As someone in a founder role at a startup who doesn't come from the technical side, I've found these meetings to be extremely helpful - Jason's combination of technical know-how and clear communication style means I can easily understand the concepts he's sharing, and implement them to great effect within our organization.
