Sheryl Steinberg Review from Google
5.0★
Sheryl Steinberg's Review Sourced from Google
I only had a couple of months to complete my new website project and Studio 22 met my deadline. They respond quickly, and are good communicators. They’re the only team I’ll use to update my website, and they’re easy to work with remotely. I would absolutely recommend them.
Lee Ann Payne Review from Google
5.0★
Lee Ann Payne's Review Sourced from Google
Our arts organization interviewed three firms and Studio 22 came out on top because their aesthetic merged that of a high-tech organization and one of an arts organization. They delivered on time and the CEO was attentive and always available either in person or remotely. When we did meet in person, they were very easy to deal with. Studio 22 was great and I can only say positive things about them. We’re continuing to work with them on other projects.
