Web Design Review from John Huntzinger
This is the most pathetic web design company ever. They have on their website 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed. My experience was far from that. All I wanted to do was up date an existing website that I very much liked that I had used for 10 years. They gave me a price of updating of $8000. It was a fight the entire process. I did not want anything special, just updates of my current website for the new technology that had occurred over the past 10 years. They could not get my website duplicated. When they did not duplicated, and I showed them why it was not a duplication, they said, oh, you want that, this is out of our scope. My argument was they knew the scope, they could see the web site I liked. They keep upping the price, they raised the quote to over $20,000. When we launched their version after months of struggle getting like my old website, there was no way for me to adequately change my pricing on the website, in a manner that I could preform, again, just like I showed them in the beginning. They showed me their new and improved process, but it was impossible for me to function. They again, wanted more money after paying them more than 2 and a half times the price they quoted, and still not giving me a website that was like my original website that they were suppose to improve. It took me 3 Months to get my old website back up after giving this company took $20,000 of my money. This is the most pathetic rip off company I have ever dealt with. I have an over 100 Million Dollar a Year Company, and having their disaster website up 2 months, paying them 2.5 Times their original bid, and having to take it down because it was not functional was truly a nightmare, and I wasted over $20,000 of money, and got nothing but 2 Months worth of headaches. They told me in the beginning they could have it completed in a couple weeks, but I had 4 Month of a Nightmare, and lost $20,000. Stay away from this company!!!!!

Their team demonstrated a deep understanding of our unique business needs and provided tailored solutions that exceeded our expectations.

They are very professional, always quick to respond, and their advice helped us advance our company. As we grow our platform and industry visibility, we will keep using them. We had a very clear objective: to create a platform that would enable us to continue growing quickly while also opening up new areas in the future.

Brand Design Review from Antonio DiMeglio, J.D.
Collective Design Agency truly transformed the way we approach branding and digital experiences. I had the pleasure of working with them for about two months while I was leading the content strategy team at Coeus Collective. During that time, we collaborated on a major branding and website project that played a key role in our growth and success.What really sets Collective Design Agency apart is how they combine creativity with a solid strategic approach. They're not just about making things look goodthey create branding solutions that genuinely work. One of the most memorable projects we did together was our rebranding campaign. Thanks to their expertise, we completely redefined our brand identity, and the results were incredible. We saw a big jump in client engagement, and our brand presence became much stronger and more consistent across the board.Beyond their technical skills, the team at Collective Design Agency is just a joy to work with. They're friendly, approachable, and really care about what they do. Their passion shines through in every project, and they always made sure our vision was brought to life in the best way possible. Working with them was not only productive but also fun and stress-free.I cant recommend Collective Design Agency enough to any business looking to take their brand to the next level. They consistently deliver amazing results while creating a positive and creative atmosphere, making them an invaluable partner. If you want to work with a team that truly gets it and goes the extra mile, they're the ones to choose.

SoftDoes Reviews & Testimonials
Yuliia Ten's Review Sourced from Google
I started working with SoftDoes when our product had already grown beyond the point where small fixes were enough. We needed to rethink several parts of the system and make sure the next stage of growth would not create even more technical debt.The team got into the project fast. Within the first few weeks, they helped us identify the main bottlenecks, clean up several fragile integrations, and improve the parts of the platform that were slowing us down the most.One practical result was that a key operation that used to take around 4-5 minutes now takes less than a minute. I also saw a noticeable drop in recurring technical issues after the release.What I liked most was the way they worked with us. Very little ceremony, clear communication, good technical judgment, and a strong sense of ownership.I’d be happy to work with SoftDoes again on another complex software project.
Ryder Mackey's Review Sourced from Google
My experience with SoftDoes has been extremely disappointing. Their communication is terrible, the people I dealt with were highly unprofessional, and their pricing is absolutely outrageous compared to the value of the work being delivered.One of my biggest concerns is the company’s lack of transparency. From what I’ve observed, their development work appears to be outsourced to people in Ukraine through another company called Come Back Agency. Even when I searched for SoftDoes online, its website appeared to redirect to Come Back Agency.Take a look at their LinkedIn yourself. They present themselves as a Kansas City-based company, yet I couldn’t find a single employee listed as being based in Kansas City. That raises serious questions about their business structure, where their team actually operates, and who you’re really paying to develop your software.My interactions with the CEO, Orest, were particularly unpleasant. I found him extremely arrogant, dismissive, and condescending. He speaks to customers as though they’re beneath him. Rather than addressing legitimate concerns professionally, his attitude made an already frustrating experience even worse.Their Google reviews also raised serious red flags for me. Several reviewer profiles appeared to have AI-generated profile pictures, and the reviews themselves read as though they were written by ChatGPT rather than genuine customers. Many of these accounts had only ever reviewed SoftDoes.After I confronted them about these concerns, I noticed that some profile pictures had been changed to what appeared to be stock images, and the accounts had gained an additional review of random places. I cannot independently verify who operates these accounts, but the timing and patterns made me seriously question the authenticity of their online reputation.Nothing about my experience with SoftDoes has inspired trust. If you’re looking for custom software development, do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. Verify who you’re actually doing business with, who will be developing your software, and what you’re paying for.
Kevin Parker's Review Sourced from Google
We had been running a large part of our business through spreadsheets and a mix of different tools for years. We've grown past spreadsheets now. SoftDoes built a custom platform around the way our team actually works. That's probably what we appreciated most about working with them.

Element Media Reviews & Testimonials

Web Development Review from Monjed Jado
I had the pleasure of working with Element Media for a custom development service for PNN, a high traffic and secure news website. I must say that the experience was exceptional from start to finish. Their team provided a fully customized CMS that met the unique requirements of our website, and the benefits we received were numerous. Element Media addressed our concerns with website speed and caching, resulting in a faster and more efficient user experience. Additionally, the CMS was optimized for Google Search Results, increasing our website's visibility online. We were particularly impressed with the security features, which prevented DDOS attacks and other system risks from intruders. It provided us with peace of mind knowing that our website is safeguarded and secure. One of the standout features of the CMS was the user interface. It was modern, sleek, and user-friendly, enhancing the overall user experience for our audience. The customization provided by the CMS gave us flexibility in content creation, management, and delivery, allowing us to deliver a high-quality product to our audience. Throughout the project, Element Media demonstrated a high level of expertise, professionalism, and exceptional customer service. They were responsive to our needs and kept us informed throughout the development process. We couldn't have asked for a better partner for our custom development needs.
