Chimpare Designs Reviews & Testimonials
UI/UX Design Review from Jamie Flett
Chimpare Design Lab helped us with a UI/UX research process, which included in-person interviews where they walked users through unboxing, connecting, and using the features of our smart air conditioner. From there, the team took the findings and produced a report for us to make improvements to our app and increase our activation rates. In addition to the report, Momentum Design Lab also redesigned some parts of our app using Figma.The project required a very iterative process, so we required more than one discovery call to get started. In fact, they didn't just work with me; we also integrated our consumer marketing insights team to identify participants. We also collaborated with them to figure out how to recruit the right users based on our target customer profiles.

Mobile App Development Review from Piera Musselli
Great service from start to finish. The team are very knowledgable, helpful and are negotiable on price which is great. I had an app development for just £400 for IOS devices and in my opinion it is some of the best design and features i have seen on any new app.

Shopify Plus eCommerce Review from Vern Brannum
Working with Rave Digital on our Shopify Plus site felt less like hiring a service provider and more like bringing on a partner who truly understood the quirks and challenges of running a wholesale candy business. Selling candy in bulk isn't just about putting products online it involves managing pack sizes, special promotions, and customers ranging from small shops to large distributors. Our old platform couldn't keep up, leaving us scrambling. Candy comes in endless flavors, sizes, and assortments, and our old site made customers scroll through countless SKUs, leading to frustration. Rave Digital restructured our product pages so buyers could easily select the exact variation they wanted on a single page. I tested it myself and found it intuitive, and when a wholesale buyer later called saying, Your site finally makes sense, it confirmed the change had real impact.They reimagined the mobile experience, which is critical because many of our buyers order on their phones while running their stores. Previously, mobile checkout was clunky and full of errors. Rave Digital optimized it so that ordering cases of chocolates on my phone felt as seamless as shopping on a top-tier retail site. A customer even told me she completed her Easter order from her car while waiting to pick up her kids something that would have been impossible before.What impressed me most was their collaborative approach. In one meeting, we debated how to display mixed candy assortments. Rather than push a single option, they presented three layouts and encouraged us to test them with real buyers. The choice became clear, and it showed their commitment to creating solutions that worked for our customers, not just ticking boxes.Now, the site feels like an extension of how we want to do business efficient, user-friendly, and stress-free. Rave Digital made it a tool that simplifies wholesale ordering, supports seasonal surges, and gives our customers the smooth, reliable experience they deserve.
Magento Review from Rodney McMullen
As one of the largest grocery retailers in the U.S., Kroger has long understood the value of staying ahead in the digital space. However, the complexity and scale of our eCommerce operations had grown significantly, and our legacy systems were beginning to create bottlenecks across user experience, performance, and operational flexibility.From the onset, Rave Digital demonstrated a deep understanding of Magento and how it could be strategically used to solve enterprise-level retail challenges. Before a single line of code was written, their team spent significant time embedded with our eCommerce, merchandising, and logistics departments.They facilitated several strategy workshops, analyzing our existing Magento Commerce setup, identifying inefficiencies in our multi region architecture, and proposing a refined roadmap for rolling out custom modules, integrating third party services, and optimizing workflows.There are many things we could highlight, but what truly sets Rave Digital apart is their ability to operate as an extension of our internal team.They are not just solution providers they are collaborators, advisors, and problem solvers. Every member of their team, from the project manager to the senior Magento architects, displayed a deep commitment to quality, accountability, and outcomes. Even when timelines got tight or priorities shifted (as they often do in enterprise environments), Rave was flexible, focused, and always aligned with our goals.One particularly telling moment came when we were evaluating an AI-based personalization module. Rather than just build what we requested, Rave took the time to prototype both a native Magento based option and a hybrid third party integration. They walked us through performance trade offs, cost implications, and even customer journey mapping all before we had even signed off on development. That level of thoughtfulness and foresight is rare in technical partners.

Nowadays, it seems that customer service and subject-area expertise are at an all-time low, but HUBSPIRE is a wonderfully professional, knowledgeable IT company. In record time, this fantastic company built a beautiful mobile app for a preservation project in Harlem, While We Are Still Here. Our SIGNS OF THE TIMES: Harlem Markers Project is a series of 25 plaques around the neighborhood, and the app that HUBSPIRE created is easy to use and gorgeous. I would recommend the company for any IT needs you may have.
Gavin Menu's Review Sourced from Google
We own a small media company and have been working with Hubspire for six years. They built our website and maintain and support all the operations. Thomas and his team have been great partners and are always responsive when emergency issues arise.
Qistina Hullon's Review Sourced from Google
Working with the Hubspire team has been nothing short of incredible. From day one, their professionalism, clarity, and efficiency stood out. Thomas, the owner, leads with a rare combination of deep technical knowledge and true collaborative spirit. We wanted to build out a smartphone photography service app, a new concept carving out a new market, and they embraced the challenge.They didn’t just build and develop our app (Fliiks)—we had a real partner in the process. Their workflow is smooth, their procedures top-notch, and their communication always clear. What really sets them apart is their dedication to going above and beyond. They constantly brought ideas to the table to make things more efficient and scalable.If you're looking for a team that not only executes flawlessly but also brings real value and insight to the table, Hubspire is the one. I highly recommend them for any business or tech project.

I have been blown away by Ruby's Shores, Waves CMS software. I rebuilt three websites in no time at all, and have been able to decrease my workload on site maintenance. The sites have been vastly improved in all areas, from look, to usability to how organically the site is found. The ability to create new ideas and implement them immediately has been a game changer. On top of all of that my business has increased in what would be a down year for my location, so the website is being found and used. If I could give 6 stars I would.

carl prindle's Review Sourced from Google
So I had a problem with my website this morning not really sure on what I should do so I gave Werkbot A call on the phone and explain my situation. I asked if it was OK for me to stop in sometime today to talk a little bit more about what I had going on. The person on my phone was OK with me just stopping in when I had a moment. Because of my crazy work schedule, I stop down just after 4 o’clock and they were walking out the door closing up for the day. So I asked if this was Werkbot “ He said yes, it was, And he knew who I was. So he actually opened the office back up we went inside we sat down. He pulled my information up and he started going through everything for me.. I want to just say that I am not a customer of theirs. I’m a random person who made a phone call to them and they were very helpful. I just want other people to know that the customer service that I got from this company was five stars hands-down. You don’t get that much anymore. I did waste about 40 minutes of his time. He never charged me a penny. I will tell all of my friends and family for sure. I highly recommend this company. Thanks again, I appreciate you guys!!
Rebecca Styn's Review Sourced from Google
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Werkbot on multiple projects over the years, including the creation of our main e-commerce website and various marketing campaigns. Their creativity in design and responsiveness in communication are truly exceptional. Whether it’s a new project or ongoing support for our national brand, Werkbot consistently exceeds our expectations. Their team’s dedication to our success is evident in every interaction, and it’s always a joy to collaborate with them. Highly recommend Werkbot for anyone seeking top-notch digital solutions.

Our organization went with WerkBot for our website development and website design because from the first meeting they were engaged in learning not only about what our organization does, but why we do it - I appreciated their interest in learning the nuances of our org so they could best represent our brand and values. They're great to work with, extremely prompt, adaptable to different working styles, and engaged throughout the process. I feel confident they're going to be walking alongside us as we continue to build and grow as an organization and our platform expands. Definitely the team to have by your side!

Hiring Guide: How to Choose a Leading Web Development Company in the US
How do I choose the right website development company for my business?
Start by assessing your business needs. Define what you want to build and why before speaking to agencies:
- Website vs. web application
- Core features and integrations
- Target users and scalability needs
- Short-term launch goals vs. long-term roadmap
Precise requirements make it easier to identify agencies that truly align with your objectives.
For instance, an agency might suggest Squarespace, one of the best website builders for visual-heavy sites, for design brands, and WordPress for content-reliant businesses.
Next, evaluate potential website development company candidates:
- Review portfolios, case studies, and past clients
- Look for experience with similar industries, project sizes, or technical complexity
- Check independent reviews and recommendations from your professional network
Then, dig deeper through direct conversations. A strong agency welcomes questions and explains its approach clearly.
What are the benefits of hiring an agency?
Hiring a web development company may help you access expertise you can’t always build in-house. Here are the types of benefits you can expect:
- Faster delivery and time to market
Agencies bring ready-made teams and proven workflows. Companies using outsourcing complete around 40% more projects per year compared to fully in-house teams, making agencies ideal for MVPs, replatforming, or tight deadlines.
2. Access to specialized skills on demand
Around 76% of companies outsource IT functions such as coding, QA, and UI/UX design because these skills are expensive and slow to hire internally. Agencies immediately fill gaps in areas such as backend, DevOps, mobile, and integrations.
3. Predictable costs and lower overhead
In-house teams come with recruiting delays, onboarding time, benefits, and long-term salary commitments. Agencies offer scoped pricing, clearer timelines, and easier budget control for defined outcomes.
4. Operational acceleration and innovation
According to Deloitte, 78% of companies outsource to accelerate operations and innovation, while 42% do so to access specialized talent. Agencies work across industries, exposing teams to emerging tools and best practices.
5. Flexible team models across growth stages
Startups gain speed without headcount risk, scaling companies add surge capacity, and enterprises use agencies for complex or skill-specific initiatives while retaining strategic control internally.
What questions should I ask web development companies?
Use the following questions to evaluate the agencies you’re considering:
Relevant Background
- Have you worked on projects with similar goals or complexity?
- How many viable approaches do you see for this project, and why?
Services and Processes
- What is your design and development process from start to launch?
- How do you estimate delivery time, and how do you separate contingency from scope?
- How do you manage third-party APIs and existing system integrations?
- How do you handle compliance, security patches, and recovery?
Relevant to Your Project
- What happens if we request changes mid-project?
- Who owns the code, hosting, licenses, and IP after launch?
- Who owns escalation if delivery timelines or budgets slip?
- Who is the day-to-day point of contact?
How long does it take to develop a website?
It takes a website development agency 14+ weeks from planning to launch to build a standard business website:
1. Planning (2-3 weeks)
Teams define goals, features, and technical requirements early. Weak planning often leads to confusing journeys later. According to the Digital Experience Benchmark Report, 39.6% sessions are impacted by frustration, reducing visit value by 15% through higher bounce rates and lower engagement.
2. Content creation (4-6 weeks)
Copy, visuals, and assets are prepared, often in parallel with design. Content delays frequently push timelines beyond initial estimates.
3. Design (2-3 weeks)
Designers create wireframes and responsive layouts. Custom UX and extended review cycles can add time.
4. Development (varies by complexity)
Front-end and back-end work, integrations, and CMS setup happen here. More features mean longer build times.
5. Testing and review (1-2 weeks)
Teams validate performance, usability, and responsiveness.
This stage matters more than ever, as 58% of websites saw session consumption drop. This means users viewed fewer pages and spent less time on-site, making engagement-sensitive testing critical.
How do I know if my website is performing well?
You know your website is performing well when it delivers measurable business impact. Your web development agency will help you track the following metrics:
- Conversion and revenue impact
A healthy website turns visitors into customers or leads. Improvements in UX and speed should translate into higher conversion rates, lower cart abandonment, and more qualified form submissions.
For example, Walmart recorded a 2% lift in conversions for every one-second improvement in load time, showing how performance translates into revenue.
- Speed and performance signals
Page speed, Core Web Vitals, and overall site stability shape how users experience your website and how search engines evaluate it.
When pages load slowly, elements break, or layouts shift unexpectedly, users struggle to complete journeys, and the site stops supporting real business goals.
- Engagement quality, not vanity metrics
Focus on consumption (pages viewed and time spent), bounce rate, and session depth to understand real engagement.
The 2024 Digital Experience Benchmark Report shows that overall digital consumption declined by 3%, meaning users viewed fewer pages and spent less time per visit.
That drop highlights how many websites struggle to hold attention, making engagement trends a stronger indicator of experience quality.
- User experience effectiveness
When a website feels easy and intuitive to use, visitors stay longer, explore more pages, and complete key actions, directly increasing engagement quality and overall visit value.
- Operational efficiency
A strong website reduces support load by answering common questions, guiding users effectively, and enabling self-service, which in turn lowers ongoing operational costs.

Web design focuses on the visual aesthetics and the functional user experience, while web development covers the aspect of building and maintaining the technical foundation that allows designs to function smoothly.
- Web design services: layout, colors, fonts, imagery, UI/UX design, accessibility, and responsive design
- Web development services: front-end and back-end coding, database, servers, APIs, scalability, security, and performance.
How do you choose between a custom-built solution and a CMS or low-code platform?
Choose a CMS or low-code platform (e.g., WordPress, Webflow, or Squarespace) when you need to launch your website fast and affordably. These platforms are also ideal for small businesses with lean teams or those that do not have a dedicated development team to maintain a complex site structure.
Consider a custom-built website if you require unique functionality, tight interactions with internal systems, or performance and scalability beyond off-the-shelf platforms. However, highly tailored websites typically require higher budgets and longer timelines.
What are the common hidden fees in a web development proposal?
The most common hidden fees in a web development proposal include hosting and infrastructure, compliance and security (e.g., SSL certificates, security audits, and plugins), and ongoing maintenance. Some companies also bill extra for copywriting, graphic design, and marketing (i.e. SEO and analytics setup), as these are typically out of the developer’s scope.
