Digital Services Review from Paloma Anguiano
Overall I feel very confident working with Patrizia and Darius from Smart Site, they have given us clear explanations and accompanied us throughout the process for the growth of the brand. The attention to us is very fast and they advise us in an adequate way.
Digital Services Review from Brianna Porter
SmartSites impressed me from day one. They are knowledgable, kind, and most importantly keep things simple and streamlined so that even an SEO-newb like me can understand. Tiffany and Luna are my main points of contact and they are especially great! I would recommend to anyone looking for an agency to really take their website and digital presence to the next level.
PPC Review from Jim Curry
At first, a survey was conducted to gather company background, product information, target markets, etc. Next, accounts were established on various Google Business platforms, social media, etc. Then SmartSites created the ads and campaigns, and we were off and running in just a few weeks.

Web Design Review from Mackenzie Shriner
I contracted design in DC to build me a custom website. they were accommodating of my budget, very responsive, and gave good insight on layout, content and design. the process was very straightforward and the final product is great!
Web Design Review from Jo Maney
DDC has been an excellent partner since we engaged with them in 2023. The DDC team worked with us to completely redesign our website and work to provide ongoing digital marketing services. The DDC team has been responsive, proactive, and thorough with their work. They are also very transparent about how they operate and how much time special projects will require. We have referred DDC to several clients and partners thanks to their outstanding process and product. DDC is a very professional, creative, and well-organized team.
Web Design Review from Sapna Doshi, Ph.D.
My experience working with Design in DC was incredible. Everyone was friendly, approachable, and seemed to genuinely care about helping create the best possible website for my business. They were also invested in making sure the process was one in which I enjoyed and felt taken care of. The regular meetings made me feel like I was a priority and that progress was continually being made. I so appreciated the attention to detail in regards to the user experience. The collaboration in understanding my wishes and desires for the website and user experience was met with patience and paying attention to detail on my behalf. Not only were they taking my suggestions but offering their own to help me maximize the potential of my website. The design and functionality is more than what I could have imagined. I know, undoubtedly, that the work that Design in DC did for me will help my business grow. After wasting money in years past on website designers, I was worried I'd be doing hte same here. I was wrong. I don't think I'll ever need to search for another website designer group again. I would recommend this group to anyone I know. Thank you, Design in DC! It was an absolute pleasure working with all of you!

Tom Ledford's Review Sourced from Google
I recently had Peter and the team at Crafted review my website, and I was genuinely impressed by the depth of their analysis.What I expected to be a few quick notes turned into a detailed audit with clear, actionable recommendations covering SEO, website performance, image optimization, accessibility, metadata, and overall search visibility. Peter didn't just point out opportunities for improvement, he took the time to explain them and provide real examples that could be implemented immediately.What stood out most was how practical the feedback was. The recommendations were tailored to my business and gave me a clear roadmap for improving my website's SEO, user experience, and ability to be discovered by potential clients online.It's rare to find someone who is both highly knowledgeable and generous with their expertise. If you're looking for a team that truly understands web design, SEO, branding, and digital strategy, I would absolutely recommend Peter and the team at Crafted.Thank you again for all the insight, guidance, and value you provided.

I was the project manager for developing a website for my partner's dental practice in midtown Manhattan (davidsondmd.com, if you want to see it).Nick and team at Empirical designed the logo and branding and created the website. Absolutely everything they did was high quality, and the results are delightful. We are really pleased with the website and are proud to have it represent the business.Nick was great to work with. He listened carefully to what we were looking for, and was proactive and creative in designing options. He was also very responsive to questions and requests, and worked hard to get even the last details done right.I am very happy with the results and highly recommend Nick and Empirical.

Empirical design is a great business to say the least! Nick took me under his wing and gave and still gives me guidance whenever needed. The work is always top notch whether it be apparel design or mock ups or album art work, the customer is always beyond pleased.
