Software Development Review from Jake Mackay
For quite a long time we took orders by e-mail or personally from customers. It took a lot of time, as we either made layouts by hand or printed them according to the vague requirements of clients. All these difficulties have pushed us to take a step towards the digital transformation of our business. The team of Five Jars has developed a frontend and backend for our web tool to create print layouts. The team is not afraid to take on difficult tasks!

Responsive Review from Anthony North
I was looking for companies that had experience with large educational platforms. There are some really big players in the eLearning market in Five Jars' portfolio, so I trusted their development experience. After all our platform has become more attractive to users. Over the past year, we have noticed a significant increase in daily visits, so much so that we even had to change hosting. Five Jars helped us with that too!

Small Business Review from Colin Knox
I'm satisfied with the MVP we've done with the Five Jars team. I am currently looking for an investor for this project. I love working with professionals when I don't have to dive into a whole area that I don't know. Working with the Five Jars was a real partnership where the other side fulfilled their obligations without my constant checks.

Web Development Review from Terry Heller
As a growing roofing company, we knew our old website wasn't doing justice to the kind of work we do at Preferred Roofing. It looked outdated, was hard to navigate, and didn't reflect the level of professionalism we bring to our projects. We wanted to change that. Our main goals were to create a new website that would clearly show our services, build trust with new visitors, and make it easier for people to contact us or request quotes online. We also wanted the site to work well on mobile phones because a lot of our customers use their phones to search for roofing services.So, we hired JanBask Digital Design to completely redesign and develop our website. We were looking for a partner who would not only build us a great-looking site but also guide us through the process and make sure the site helped us grow our business.They asked detailed questions about our services, customer base, and how we wanted people to feel when they visited the site.Scope of the work included:Designing a responsive website from scratchCreating unique pages for all our services (roof repairs, installations, gutter services, etc.)Adding a clean, easy-to-use contact form and quote request systemThe new website has made a real difference for us. We've received more calls and quote requests since the launch, and customers often mention how easy it was to find what they were looking for on our site. The new layout makes our services very clear, and the site feels clean, modern, and professional which is exactly what we wanted. It has definitely helped us build more trust with new visitors.Project management was excellent. JanBask kept everything organized and walked us through each step. They gave us regular updatesWhat stood out the most was their care and attention to detail. They didnt just build a pretty website they made sure it worked for our business. They didnt rush the process either they truly wanted us to be happy with the final product.

Web Development Review from Jason Anish
When we approached JanBask Digital Design, our companyAustin Financial Services, Inc.was going through a critical branding transition. While weve been around for over 40 years and have built a solid reputation in asset-based lending, our online presence didnt reflect the trust, speed, and flexibility we offer to our clients. We needed more than just a website redesignwe needed a digital experience that could communicate our value, streamline how potential clients learn about our services, and ultimately drive real business conversations.We specifically hired JanBask to help us accomplish a few main goals:Modernize our websites look and feel without losing the credibility and seriousness expected of a financial company.Improve the user journey for business owners and financial decision-makers who are looking for fast, flexible credit solutions.Create a strong foundation for future digital marketing efforts like SEO, paid ads, and client onboarding automation.Make the site mobile-friendly and easy to navigate, especially for busy executives browsing on the go.We had tried updating our site with internal resources and freelancers before, but it never really hit the mark. So we were cautious going inbut hopeful.JanBask started the project with a series of discovery calls where they really took the time to understand not just what we do, but why we do it and who we do it for. They dug into our client personas, our lending process, and even how our sales team follows up on leads. It felt like they werent just designing a websitethey were building a tool tailored to how we actually work.What stood out most to us was their ability to translate financial language into something both clear and client-friendly. Were used to dealing in technical lending terms, but JanBask found a way to keep things professional and easy to understand. Thats not easy to pull off.

Software Development Review from Jonathan Gessert
We partnered with Orases to develop and maintain a multi-tenant workflow management system and customer portal, tailored to streamline our customers and internal team's creation processes. Our previous systems used dated technologies, but Orases stepped in with a PHP and React solution that transformed how we plan, write, edit, review, and publish content at substantial scale. The system now fully supports our end-to-end workflow, allowing for seamless collaboration across teams while significantly improving overall efficiency.Orases exceeded our expectations by delivering a demo in just six months, with the full application live within eight months. Their attention to detail, consistent communication, and ability to stay on schedule were remarkable throughout the project. Their project management approach was highly effective, ensuring that every stage of development was completed with precision and aligned with our needs.The results have been outstanding. The new system has enabled us to increase productivity, handle more complex projects, and reduce the time spent in content quality assurance and client feedback loops. This has directly contributed to our companys growth and enhanced our ability to scale operations efficiently.What stood out most was Orases's methodical and thoughtful approach. They took the time to deeply understand our goals and delivered a solution that met both our immediate needs and long-term business objectives. Their commitment to excellence and alignment with our vision truly made a difference.Working with Orases has been an incredible experience, and their ability to provide innovative solutions, paired with their outstanding teamwork, has been a major asset. We look forward to continued collaborations with their talented team.

I'm way overdue in leaving this review. The team at Orases are the best in the biz when it comes to all aspects of app/software development, especially AI software dev. They've been instrumental in helping guide us through the ever-changing landscape of AI, since it definitely feels like if we blink, what we thought was cutting-edge in AI, becomes "old news." Orases helps us stay ahead of the curve...plus on a personal level, they're a genuine joy to work with. Highly recommend!

scott burleson's Review Sourced from Google
I have worked with Liz Harr and team for many years and they are simply the best. Where to begin? They performed a strategic analysis, and concluded that our website desperately needed an overhaul. From there, they led the website upgrade - and mentored us on SEO tactics, and we watched our SEO performance improve exponentially, for month after month for years (as crazy as that sounds). They continue to walk with us to find the "next big thing" that can help us to promote our consulting and training business. In addition, they are great and friendly people - who are a joy to work with - and I'm always looking forward to the next conversation. They have truly contributed to our success in a meaningful way, and I look forward to many years of working with them in the future.

The Hinge team is the real deal - as a client in their Visible Expert program and as a professional who has been piecing together marketing techniques for years, the Hinge team helped me see the forest for the trees. Working with them has helped me understand the interconnectivity of marketing efforts and the benefits and pathways for developing synergies across those efforts. Highly recommend if you are building a professional services firm.
Show moreDan Adams's Review Sourced from Google
Our company, The AIM Institute, had worked with three different marketing agencies before we found Hinge... and we won't be working with another! For 8 years now, Hinge has met every need we've had. We love the fact that they focus on B2B service providers (such as our training firm) AND do extensive research. For us though, the biggest difference between Hinge and the rest is that they don't just conduct marketing campaigns. Rather they come alongside like a member of our leadership team to help us develop strong business growth strategies. We HIGHLY recommend them!

Campbell of Blue Underground is a very knowledgeable media professional. His team built my web site from the ground-up, including designing my logo which is in-line with who I am and the services I provide. Patient and hard working, Campbell explained to me the in-depth world of how Google operates, and the specifics on what Google "likes" in terms of content. He positioned my web site to be search ready on the internet. Working with Campbell goes beyond the creation of website, he takes into account all the necessary "behind the scenes" operations for a site to perform well. I hight recommend the Blue Underground team not only for website and logo design, but also for hosting and monthly web maintenance.

When I decided to start my own company, I knew I would need a well-designed, professional website that would promote my services and help me reach potential clients. After a thorough search of web designers in Northern Virginia area, I found blueunderground and was immediately impressed by their clear, crisp work so I know they would understand my needs as well as my aesthetic.I worked directly with Campbell Maloney, the firm's founder and principal designer. Not only did he bring my vision to life, he enhanced it in ways I could have never imagined. He also designed my company logo and with it, captured the essence of my mission in a single visual. Again, I could not be more pleased, and I am proud to share Campbell's design and my website with my friends, family and colleagues.Campbell was exceptionally responsive to my needs, which included a lot of teaching and hand-holding from beginning to end. He had insightful suggestions that we incorporated into both the web design and function, but more importantly he had enormous patience with my lack of technological know-how and understanding of web lingo.Equally important, Campbell's knowledge of SEO and Google Analytics was key as he constructed my website so that it would easily found by people doing an internet search for the kind of services that I offer, and I feel this is going to provide me with a considerable edge in my marketing.Without Campbell, my company would still be on the drawing board. I am deeply appreciative to both he and blueunderground, and I look forward to a continued relationship as my business grows and my needs expand.
