I agree with the other review. This company claims that they can build websites and that they are located in Modesto, California which is not true. I have been calling them for weeks and so far no response. When I told them that I wanted a refund, they quiclky put some items on the website. They are very dishonest

Ashkan Namini's Review Sourced from Google
Great experience and highly recommend. The website that they made for me (a dentist) is extremely chic and I've gotten a lot of compliments on it from friends, family, and patients. I didn't have to tell them anything about the design, they nailed it from the start, which shows they have experience and a keen eye for website esthetics. They were easy to work with too. So any time I wanted to change any pictures or formatting, they had no problem doing it and they did it very quickly. It's clear they have a lot of experience designing websites for the healthcare field. Highly recommend Rizer!

Holden Zalma's Review Sourced from Google
I was referred to Rizer by a trusted neighbor. We had been with another SEO company for many years, believing they had our best interests at heart. However, they kept increasing their fees even as our leads and rankings steadily declined.
In just two months of working with Barahm and the team at Rizer, we've already noticed a significant increase in traffic and quality leads for our business. They thoroughly cleaned up and optimized our website and are always available to answer any questions we have.
If you're looking for a company that genuinely cares about its clients, I highly recommend Rizer!

We hired Axamo to help redesign our website a few months back. We were super happy with the work and the final product they delivered. We love our new website! The Axamo team are always there whenever an issue arose or we wanted to make any changes and the quick communication was exactly why I'd recommend them to anyone. 5/5 from us. Thanks

Web Design Review from Becky Stewart
Our industry is very niche and there were some hiccups in the beginning as the content team learned the terminology and the level of detail expected from a recognized leader in the field. The asynchronous nature of working with a global team was a good learning experience for our marketing team (all on the U.S. east coast). There were hiccups on our side too, adjusting to Webflow after working with WordPress for many years. However, the new site is head and shoulders above anything our competitors have and will certainly catch eyeballs. The Axamo developers went out of their way to accommodate our internal site structure. Most of the visuals have been custom designed to fit our audiences. The team has been very responsive in helping us learn Webflow to be able to maintain the site on our own. The new site will be able to accommodate new services and as much content as we can produce.

Marketing Director at CSols Inc.

Web Design Review from Megan Cavanaugh Pettyjohn
Axamo helped us create a website that stands out in our industry. CSols is a B2B professional services company in a niche and complex industry. Axamo's writer did a great job developing content that was SEO optimized, competitive, and professional. The Axamo website designers and developers were extremely nice to work with and very talented. We provided guidance on images and pushed the creativity envelope, and they delivered an excellent product in the end. Room for improvement: a) better project management with communication, organization, and a more detailed process to follow. More of my time was given as PM than expected. There are limitations due to Webflow's capabilities, but the Axamo team worked hard to overcome any obstacles they faced while delivering the website we wanted. Overall, they were dedicated to producing a product that we loved and worked tirelessly to achieve it. I look forward to our continued relationship as we grow the website.

We highly recommend going with Razorfrog for all your website needs, one of the best decisions that we have ever made. We started working with Razorfrog in 2015. They worked with us to design and build a beautiful website. We enjoyed working with Razorfrog and have been very pleased with the look and functionality of our website. Max and his team have answered any and all our inquiries within the hour, even late at night when we thought no one was even working. They are very knowledgeable and efficient at finding the problems and fixing them immediately, saving us time and money and a lot of unnecessary frustration. It has been such a pleasure working with them.

Web Design Review from Grace Dahlstrom
DesignX completely transformed our web presence. They built us a custom e-commerce site with SEO optimization, CRM integration, micro animations, and conversion-focused design, all delivered on schedule.
The team was responsive, professional, and genuinely invested in making our brand shine. They went above and beyond on copywriting, image optimization, page speed, and responsive design.
The only point is attention to detail as several times an issue had to be mentioned 5 separate times before it got fixed.

UI/UX Design Review from Aron Alexander
We were searching for a group to assist us in creating the UI and structure of a new platform for our customers. Our clients needed to be able to easily and effectively manage the components of their programs through the portal, which had to be incredibly user-friendly. For this project, both new user flows and existing flows that matched the new framework had to be designed.
DesignX delivered an excellent service that far above expectations. Our project was under a strict deadline. The DesignX team collaborated with us from the beginning to thoroughly grasp the project's scope and deliverables, even with the little time we had at our disposal. The designer collaborated extensively with us during the project to maintain our objectives and

UI/UX Design Review from Ron Williams
DesignX helped us revamp the entire UI/UX of our patient portal. Initially, we had a couple of meetings, during which my team showed DesignX our current design assets. Then, they created some UI/UX design mock-ups based on what we wanted and focused on the platforms ease of use.
Throughout the project, we went back and forth with DesignX team to discuss things we wanted to change. DesignX gave us different variations and versions of the UI/UX designs and let us pick between them.
We recently finished implementing the UI/UX designs that DesignX created for us, so we launched our new portal recently. Thus far, we've received a few positive reviews from our patients on it. They're very happy with the new platform, as it looks much nicer and much cleaner, and its also easier to use. Additionally, we were absolutely pleased with the quality of the work we received.

I worked with Forefront to redesign my nonprofits website and had an amazing experience. They were professional, creative, easy to work with.. I could go on and on. Our website looks amazing and is exactly what we were hoping for. I worked closely with Nick during the process and could not speak more highly of him.
Since our redesign project completed, we now use Forefront for our website maintenance and that has also been just a flawless experience. Anytime I run into a problem Phill helps me in a timely manner and is so helpful.

Web Development Review from trine bretteville
The new site is great. We do not get a ton of traffic, so I have not been able to gauge much external feedback. However, I have been happy with the new look of the site. I am confident that our customers will appreciate the user-friendliness as well. They communicated well, constantly keeping me abreast of their progress. They also incorporated my feedback into the process. Their team delivered the final product in a timely manner. They completed everything in an expedited manner for a fair price. Austin was easy to get in touch with. Making changes along the way was never an issue. I cant think of anything. The engagement was pretty seamless. Communicate with them. If you tell them exactly what you are looking for, they will make it happen.

Tusk creative studio communication skills were great. Regardless of who we spoke to, they had all the information they needed. I did not once need to update or remind them about something they had discussed with another member of our team. We could always continue where we left off. I don't think they are the only company that could have given us this solution, but they were efficient in how they understood the stresses of our business and what needed to be done. They didn't wait for us to give them more information. I cannot think of any way Tusk creative studio could improve. They were good. I think they did an amazing job in providing what we needed.

SEO Review from Tim Cardona
Noah and his team have been so amazing for my automotive detailing business. I didn’t understand SEO at all but I knew I needed it to grow my business. When I first talked to Noah he wasn’t pushy on selling me anything. Just simply broke everything down for me to understand and made it work for me. He has helped my business stay competitive and on target with SEO and my website! I can’t thank Epidemic Marketing enough it has been over 2 years now I have been with them and I’m glad!!

CRO Review from Brian Hong
Noah is a wealth of information and someone I have the pleasure of working with.
He provides extremely actionable insights with conversion rate optimization, as well as advanced SEO techniques that move the needle.
We have worked on several CRO campaigns that helped turn more visitors into customers which made our dollar work harder for us and Paid Media campaigns.
He’s a true pro and even better human.

SEO Review from Marty Marion
I never leave reviews, but once in a while the work quality is so good I make exceptions.
This is one of those times. Noah provided very advanced SEO work for one of my largest clients, fron scratch, finding and fixing SEO technical issues and conversion optimization issues that made a major difference for my client in both organic traffic and conversions.
Traffic from search increased more than expected. Conversions to sales increased by about 20% plus an increase in AOV. Combining both an increase in traffic and an increase in conversions and an increase in AOV is nothing short of a home run.
I will be channeling more of my clients' SEO and CRO to Epidemic for sure. Great people to work with, awesome results. And I teach digital marketing professionally.

Honestly, Janes Haus is the best. She offers amazing, high quality work, delivered on time at super reasonable prices. I've used Jane over and over again for my podcast branding, website, marketing materials, landing pages and more. Because I love her work, I also refer her to my clients as well. Another thing I like about Jane is that she is always thinking about functionality when she designs. So important to have things not only look great but work well! Highly recommend Janes Haus for all of your branding, web and design needs.

ISBX is a very professional and talented web development company. The overall experience I had with them in the redesign of our website was outstanding. They were extremely creative, provided viable options at all junctures, and delivered on time and on budget. ISBX also provided a very hands-on, and professional team who understood our need for brand engagement and outreach to a new audience with our website refresh. The team also optimized the new site for mobile usage which was very important to us. ISBX successfully executed our complex project efficiently, with excellent communication and attention to detail at every step. I wouldn't hesitate to work with them again.

Greg has created all of our collateral, our website, designed a new App and creates all of our marketing pieces and he and his team are brilliant graphic designers. Incredibly tasteful and quality work. Also, highly responsive and timely with any and all requests. The BEST.

My experience with Experia for website development was exceptional. Their team delivered a beautifully designed site that perfectly captured my vision. What impressed me most was their ability to listen and truly understand my needs, even when I struggled to articulate them.
Their dedicated team showed remarkable patience and flexibility, making changes whenever requested without hesitation. They took the time to teach me basic site management, explaining everything in terms I could understand. Their 24/7 support team resolves issues within minutes, and their clear communication made the entire process smooth and stress-free.
Experia's commitment to personal service stands out from our first meeting through launch and beyond. They treated my project with genuine care, offering creative solutions and thoughtful suggestions that improved the final result. For anyone seeking a web partner who combines technical excellence with an incredibly personalized approach, Experia consistently exceeds expectations.

African Safari Co's Review Sourced from Google
Working with bgood media has been a game changer for our, business's online visibility. They helped us strengthen our SEO foundation, improve rankings for competitive search terms, and significantly increase our organic traffic. We’ve also started seeing our brand, African Safari Company, appear in AI search results like ChatGPT and Gemini, which has been incredibly exciting to watch.
Justin and Joseph have a deep understanding of both technical SEO and GEO, and their strategies have brought in more qualified leads through organic search. They’re thoughtful, knowledgeable, and clearly ahead of the curve when it comes to where search is heading.
I’d absolutely recommend bgood media to anyone in the luxury travel space who wants to grow their presence online in a smart, sustainable way.

Julian Felch's Review Sourced from Google
When I signed up BGood Media to work on my site Lightyear Coffee, the ask was a big one: step into managing and optimizing a site that's been operating for a few years with a pretty tangled backend.
Justin and BGood did not hesitate to dive in and learn what had already been programmed and how (not easy). They were able to make sense of the site in short order and provided SEO insights and other performance recommendations I had never heard before. It was refreshing.
Every team out there should have a partner like BGood. Highly recommend.

Working with Justin, Joseph, and the entire team at bgood media to redesign our sports agency, SSE's website was an incredible experience. They brought such positive energy, creativity, and technical expertise to the project. Our custom WordPress site is not only visually stunning and perfectly aligned with our updated branding and design. The Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) makes things very user-friendly and flexible.
The team's attention to detail and collaborative spirit made the process enjoyable and seamless. If you're looking for a WordPress development agency that combines creative design, technical precision, SEO, and outstanding client service, bgood media is the way to go. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome!

I got so much accomplished (so quickly!) thanks to DK Web Design! Talk to Danielle. I genuinely enjoyed working with her and I REALLY wish I'd found her sooner!! She is a very clear communicator (which I need). She understood and addressed all my questions and concerns within the first meeting.
It is a great feeling to know I can rely on someone to help me when my business website is misbehaving. Danielle helped me navigate my website problems quickly, explained the parts I didn't understand, connected me to her team to tackle separate server issues, helped me gain a copy of my website (with instructions for future users!), and--- at a reasonable price. A solid 5 star experience. I feel like I can rely on someone to help me with my website again. Yay! Thank you Danielle!

Danielle and her team at DK Web Design do amazing work. As a commercial photographer who works closely with businesses, I know how important it is to have a website that is easy to use and looks amazing. DK does all of that and more. In addition, they also provide social media marketing services and SEO audits. They offer so much value for their clients, I wouldn't refer them anywhere else.

Andrew Gonzales's Review Sourced from Google
Hired Nikalabs a few years back because my website was a mess and I hated it. It was confusing, cluttered, and just straight up ugly!
Originally I found these guys on yelp and I wanted to give them some love on Google My Business too!
I own a carpet cleaning business in Santa Clara and I needed to find a company I could trust and feel comfortable with to build a great website. I called and talked to Ali over the phone I know that this was the right company and boy I'm glad I chose Nika Labs. I told Ali over the phone these exact words, "I want to build a clean, simple, yet elegant website" I wanted something that will be easy on the eyes and intuitive for my customers. I also expressed that there were two important tools that I absolutely needed 1) an online calendar 2) an online estimator tool. Ali, with confidence said, "We can do it no problem and we will optimize the site for both desktop and mobile web browsing". Ali's confidence assured me Nika Labs was the company to hire! He also said that once they are done I would be able to edit most of the text myself because they use Wordpress to build the site. I was sold and hired them to build the site.
Ali and Nika Labs not only delivered they over delivered. They built a website I absolutely love! They listened to my every concern. My website is clean, simple, and yet elegant just the way I imagined it to be. I 100% love my site and can't stop looking at it. We hit some bumps in the road but Ali and Nika labs worked through them all. I'm so happy I went with Nika Labs and I highly recommend hiring this company to do your website!

Web Development Review from Meghan Wallace
When you're launching a nonprofit from scratch, every resource matters and Tom stepped in with extraordinary generosity. He brought his team in to help build the Survive Out Loud website, and the result is something were genuinely proud of.
Tom and his team didn't just build a site. They listened carefully, asked thoughtful questions, and translated our vision into something clean, professional, and aligned with our mission. They were patient, collaborative, and incredibly responsive throughout the entire process.
For a small organization trying to get off the ground, this kind of support is transformational. We are deeply grateful for Tom and his team and would recommend them without hesitation

Software Development Review from Amarind Tan
Idea Maker was fantastic to work with. They completed multiple website projects for my virtual assistant agency. Each time they over delivered. Besides that, they helped build some AI automations to help my customer support. That freed me up to focus on expanding my partnerships. I really love the fact that they can do just about anything technically. They truly are my technical back office!

Worst media company ever!!! They never pick up their phone or return emails!!!! 4 months I have been calling them about a billing issue, and no response. I had to report them to the BBB to see if they can get a response from this company! Unprofessional, ignorant and just plain rude!! Do not use them!!!

Saucy Konfections's Review Sourced from Google
If you are looking to use this company, you may want to take a second to read over this review before you do so. This is one of the worst companies that i have worked with. In the beginning, it will seem great. They will tell all the things that you want to hear and you will sign a contract with them but BEWARE! Although you will sign a contract with them, they will not fulfill their end of their contract and at the end of the project, they will try to milk you for more money.
Also, although the site is based in America, they hire people from China etc.. to do their work so although you will be shelling out American dollars, you are actually paying for someone in their house in India or China to do his/her job. All, in all, i was completely unsatisfied with the site that they did for me. Please feel free to reach out to me so i can tell you details and to show you receipts. I will even show you the contract! and how much money i paid for a project that really should have been half less than what i paid.
I had to find others to clean up the mess this company made and the people that looked at my site said it was one of the worst that they have ever encountered!!!!
Ps: I gave this company a “1” for effort…

Frequently Asked Questions About Web Design Companies in California
What red flags should I watch for when evaluating web design firms in California?
The most common red flags when evaluating web design firms in California are vague contracts, portfolios with no performance data, and agencies that can't explain their process before you sign. If something feels unclear in the sales stage, it won't get clearer once the project starts.
Pay attention to:
Portfolios with no measurable outcomes, only visuals, no conversion or performance data
Vague contracts without milestones, revision limits, or a defined handoff process
No post-launch support plan, or support billed at surprise hourly rates
Designs that look templated across clients, same layout, different logo
Pressure to sign before receiving a detailed proposal
What do California web design agencies charge that most buyers don't expect?
Most California web design agencies quote a project price that doesn't include content migration, platform licensing, or post-launch support — costs that can add thousands to the final invoice. Always ask for a line-item breakdown before signing.
Content migration: Moving existing pages, copy, and SEO data is rarely included by default
CMS licensing: Platforms like Webflow or Shopify carry ongoing subscription fees
Hosting and domain management: Often invoiced separately after launch
Extra revision rounds: Anything beyond the contracted limit is typically billed hourly
Post-launch fixes: Many web design companies in California treat these as a separate retainer
How do I know if a California web design firm has real eCommerce or SaaS experience?
Ask for evidence, not examples. A California web design firm with genuine eCommerce or SaaS experience can show you conversion rate improvements, platform-specific expertise (Shopify, Magento, custom builds), and decisions they made about checkout UX or onboarding flows, not just what the site looks like.
If their case studies only show visual redesigns with no business metrics attached, their experience is likely surface-level. Ask for a reference you can actually call.
When does it make sense to hire a local California web design agency?
When proximity adds real value to the work. That means in-person discovery sessions, brand shoots, or ongoing collaboration that benefits from being in the same room.
It also makes sense if you're in a regulated industry, like healthcare, legal, or finance, where a California web design agency familiar with state compliance standards reduces your risk.
For fully remote projects with a clear brief and defined deliverables, geography matters far less than process and expertise.
What does a bad web design engagement look like, and how do I avoid it?
Most failed projects fail because of misaligned expectations that nobody caught early. The pattern is usually the same: no staged delivery, no named point of contact, and scope changes handled informally until costs spiral.
Require milestone-based delivery so you're reviewing work in stages, not at the end
Get a named project lead in writing before work starts
Make sure the contract defines what triggers a change order
Should I start with a pilot project or commit to a full engagement upfront?
A pilot makes sense when you haven't worked with the agency before, and the full scope is large or high stakes. A smaller paid task, such as a landing page, a design audit, or a single feature, tells you how they communicate, how they handle feedback, and whether their process matches what they promised in the proposal.
That said, not every California web design firm offers pilots, and some projects don't lend themselves to it. If the agency has strong references from similar projects and a contract with clear milestones and exit clauses, committing upfront is a reasonable call.
How do I compare two web designers in California who look equally qualified on paper?
Send both a detailed brief and watch how they respond: what they ask, what they miss, how long it takes. That tells you more than their portfolio.
Then ask each one how they handle scope changes mid-project. Vague answers here become expensive problems later.
The designers who ask better questions during the proposal stage almost always run better projects.
What should I expect week by week in the first 60 days after hiring?
A well-structured engagement with web design companies in California follows a clear arc: discovery first, structure second, visuals third. Agencies that skip straight to design generate the most expensive revision cycles.
