      Web Development Review from Jaroslav Tyman Jr.

      We contacted Zero Negative about a two stage renewal of our company website with a very aggressive timeline for the first stage. Zero Negative worked and guided us through pulling off the first stage within our timeline while also ensuring that the content and ideas for that stage were readily applicable to the full design. When we got to the full design, they were fully responsible for corralling the various preferences and ideas from our team into a well executed cohesive site. We're now in a good spot and look forward to continuing to work with Zero Negative as our business and needs grow.

      Web Development Review from Susan E. Roberts

      Zero Negative did an exceptional job designing my website, roberts-communications.com. From the start, they understood that this wasn't just about aesthetics it was about positioning, credibility, and clarity for a senior-level communications brand.They translated a complex, high-stakes business into a site that feels polished, modern, and authoritative without being flashy or over designed. The process was collaborative, efficient, and thoughtful, and they were responsive to feedback while also offering smart guidance when it mattered.The final result reflects exactly how I want Roberts Communications to be perceived: strategic, sophisticated, and trusted. I would highly recommend Zero Negative to anyone looking for a design partner who understands brand, not just web building.

      Web Development Review from Anonymous

      These guys are the best! We engaged with Zero Negative to develop a comprehensive web-based system for our factory that allows for managing orders, processes, and inventory. This initiative was essential for us to secure a big ticket client. We truly could not have accomplished this without their assistance. They dedicated considerable time to on-boarding and collecting the requisite information, followed by prototyping the software, and ultimately developing it from scratch. Overall, we are very satisfied.

      We hired Ezra Productions’ for video production strategy and to produce video content for our Non-Profit and the experience from start to finish was absolutely AMAZING! We came to them with our goals and an idea for what we thought we might need. They took the time to really get to know us and our goals as an organization and then they came up with a plan for achieving those goals within our budget. They made us feel valued every step of the way. The videos they have produced thus far have taken us to the next level! We are raising more funds and having a bigger impact on those we serve. Ezra Productions gave us a presence and a voice! Our Non-Profit is based in the Morrisville area but Ezra Productions helped effortlessly us all the way from Los Angeles and New York!The founder, Jillian, is an advocate for social justice, and became really passionate about the work we do with children in our after school programs and even got involved in our work on a personal level. We’re so thankful to have Ezra Productions as a partner! They have changed everything for us and we are eternally grateful.

      Working with Jillian and the Ezra team was awesome! We had a three day shoot, and months of prep and post production. The experience was professional, creative and most importantly, the content we created was beautiful. Our brand was displayed so beautifully and we could not be happier!
