Design In DC Reviews & Testimonials

Web Design Review from Mackenzie Shriner
I contracted design in DC to build me a custom website. they were accommodating of my budget, very responsive, and gave good insight on layout, content and design. the process was very straightforward and the final product is great!

Web Design Review from Jo Maney
DDC has been an excellent partner since we engaged with them in 2023. The DDC team worked with us to completely redesign our website and work to provide ongoing digital marketing services. The DDC team has been responsive, proactive, and thorough with their work. They are also very transparent about how they operate and how much time special projects will require. We have referred DDC to several clients and partners thanks to their outstanding process and product. DDC is a very professional, creative, and well-organized team.

Web Design Review from Sapna Doshi, Ph.D.
My experience working with Design in DC was incredible. Everyone was friendly, approachable, and seemed to genuinely care about helping create the best possible website for my business. They were also invested in making sure the process was one in which I enjoyed and felt taken care of. The regular meetings made me feel like I was a priority and that progress was continually being made. I so appreciated the attention to detail in regards to the user experience. The collaboration in understanding my wishes and desires for the website and user experience was met with patience and paying attention to detail on my behalf. Not only were they taking my suggestions but offering their own to help me maximize the potential of my website. The design and functionality is more than what I could have imagined. I know, undoubtedly, that the work that Design in DC did for me will help my business grow. After wasting money in years past on website designers, I was worried I'd be doing hte same here. I was wrong. I don't think I'll ever need to search for another website designer group again. I would recommend this group to anyone I know. Thank you, Design in DC! It was an absolute pleasure working with all of you!

Mobile App Development Review from Guiulianna Cespedes
Our company needed an Android app that could support a mental health platform in a way that felt calm, easy to use, and dependable for daily users. We hired Simpalm to build that product in Kotlin and help us move from concept into something real customers could use. For us, trust and simplicity mattered more than packing in too many features.They took a fairly hands-on role, which was helpful because we were still making product decisions as the project moved. Some weeks I was deeply involved reviewing screens, and other weeks they pushed things forward on their own. That balance worked well. They would usually come back with two or three options instead of just asking what we wanted.We did hit one rough patch around notifications where the first version didn’t behave the way we expected, so that had to be revisited. They fixed it without making the process difficult.The finished app runs smoothly, feels organized, and gave us a much stronger mobile presence on Android. Most importantly, early users found it approachable rather than overwhelming, which was exactly what we wanted.
Mobile App Development Review from Amanda Chalofsky
My experience with Simpalm was very good. They made a full prototype of our neuro-wellness app so we could show partners and investors what our system looks like. It matched our brand and showed the flow in a simple way. Their communication was steady, they stayed on time, and they explained things clearly. The prototype helped people understand our idea fast, and it moved our project forward. I felt supported the whole time.

Mobile App Development Review from Matt Rudnick
Working with Simpalm has been a really positive experience. We hired them to handle the frontend development of our mobile app for iOS and Android, while our backend was already in place. From the start, their team communicated clearly, stayed organized, and met every deadline we set. They were flexible when we added new features, and their designer’s input really helped improve the look and usability of the app. I appreciated how reliable and easy they were to work with having a U.S.-based team made communication smooth and fast.

SEVEN Reviews & Testimonials

Web Development Review from Antony Matsepa
We engaged SEVEN to help launch a new product with a tight budget and timeline. The agency met our high expectations by delivering on time, within budget, and without bugs. SEVEN built a strong foundation by following our roadmap, managing tasks efficiently, and providing detailed progress reports. I was impressed with the agency's proactive problem-solving, adherence to deadlines, and flexibility. SEVEN became an integral part of our team, offering valuable insights and exceptional project management. SEVEN's client-focused approach and clear communication set it apart from other providers as a reliable technology partner.

Web Development Review from Anthony Clark
SEVEN developed a mobile web-based app for our company, which served as a dashboard for departmental communication. After delivering the custom platform, the agency supported its maintenance to ensure efficiency. SEVEN demonstrated impressive capabilities, and its team members were professional and well-organized. I felt the project progressed slower than expected, partly because our team was slow in providing SEVEN with the necessary resources. Nonetheless, SEVEN's performance and pricing made it a valuable partner.

Mobile App Development Review from Zlatko Medibach
We collaborated with SEVEN to develop a custom Softphone solution with advanced features, and the agency delivered high-quality software on time. Its communication and project management, using tools like Redmine, Skype, and Teams, were exceptional. SEVEN was always available for meetings throughout the collaboration. We were satisfied with the agency's services and support.

Carrie Cullinan's Review Sourced from Google
Plaudit absolutely knocked it out of the park on the redesign and development of our new corporate website! Not only did they exceed our project goals, they provided superior guidance and project management every step of the way. Plaudit took point in managing the project schedule, defining key milestones, preparing asset management and feedback tools, offering custom training videos and live demos, pursuing new and better solutions, ensuring a seamless launch, and providing post-launch training and instruction. I note these numerous areas of support as they took significant work off of my plate. This gave me and the team capacity to stay focused on content and internal input, trusting Plaudit to handle the rest. It is that end-to-end process ownership that sets them apart, and I'm thrilled we made the choice to select Plaudit as our website partner.
