I can't believe I haven't left a review for Eyecon yet! Rachael and her team are absolutely amazing. They are community focused, client centered, and full of creativity! Rachael and Emily were so patient and helpful as we built out our band and marketing efforts. From finding that perfect name and tagline for our insurance agency to building out our website, Rachael and Emily's expertise is unmatched. Highly, highly recommend Eyecon.

I learned about Eyecon through the St. Cloud Chamber. Rachel was very friendly and happy to talk about all things relating to websites and social media. When I decided to step up my footprint on the internet and social media I reached out and hired them. It's been over a year and I couldn't be happier. The team over there is very knowledge and take care of my needs.

Mason Schirmer's Review Sourced from Google
Years ago I started working with Rachael at which time she recommended I give her ownership of my domain which for greater efficiency, I trusted her and I didn't see anything wrong with that. Fast forward, I've learned the hard way that this gave her leverage, so eventually when she overcharged me for services she had all the leverage and in-turn she shutdown my website disabled my business email address. Lesson learned, NEVER GIVE ANYONE OWNERSHIP OF YOUR DOMAIN, etc. Also, be cautious signing any forms with Eyecon that contain pricing of 'TBD', etc, because that will treat it as approval, regardless of how high the price is they come up with.

Gerber Consultants made the process of recreating our website smooth and without any glitches. Tom was professional, courteous and kept our organization updated along the way. Training on managing the site was done in a way that was understandable for those involved. I would highly recommend Gerber Consultants.

Gearbox FC was the first resource I consulted when starting my new business. They were the perfect team to genuinely and quickly wrap their head around my overall business objectives and create a logo that is full of intention and specific to my needs.The confidence I feel with my new brand has helped me drive Arachnid Analytics forward! The time and attention Gearbox gave me will forever impress me, and collaborating with them is a synch! I can’t thank Gearbox enough for cutting through all of my ideas/notes/pictures and focusing on what the brand naturally was.Gearbox has essentially set the tone for my company. Above all, it’s nice to work with nice people — great group there!

I could not be happier with the work Gearbox has done to revamp and modernize our logo. I absolute love the new look and couldn't be happier with my choice of working with both Sara and Glenn. One of the best decisions I have made. I am also having our website redone by Gearbox and that experience has also been top notch and I couldn't be happier with every step of the process. Everything has been 100% professional and extremally easy to work with Gearbox!! Thank you Sara and Glenn for bringing my company into the 21st century.Bertram Electric, Inc.Jay Bertram - President

Web application development companies are using AI to improve the software development process, provide better user experiences, and implement advanced features and functions. Â
For instance, developer teams are using AI assistants to streamline routine coding tasks, generate documentation, and automate testing. In doing so, they experience up to 50% higher productivity. Â
Additionally, custom website development companies may be leveraging AI-driven analytics to identify drop-off points and friction in user journeys. They may also be implementing AI-powered recommendation engines and smarter search features for a more personalized user experience.Â
Template websites use pre-built themes and components (e.g., designs, layouts, and features), making it more affordable and faster to build. While these allow some level of customization, it is often limited to the platform or chosen theme.Â
Conversely, custom website development tailors the digital solution to client requirements to match brand standards, user journeys, integrations, and performance and security needs.Â
