WordPress Website Design Review from Hannah Woods
We had a great experience working with Code18. Steve and his team was polished, communicative, and proactive bringing not just technical skill, but real strategic insight to the table. They challenged us (in a good way) to think differently about our website, how we structure our products, and how we present our brand online.We came to them with a fairly complex product catalog, and they delivered a custom backend solution that madegthe customer-facing experience clean, clear, and easy to navigate. They offered smart, scalable solutions that prioritized both usability and long-term flexibility.Wed highly recommend them to any team looking for a strategic, collaborative, and technically sharp web development partner.
Web Design Review from Lance Cleland
Code 18 was a pleasure to work with. They offered clear communication, transparent billing, and adherence to deadlines. They worked within our budget to meet our vision for the project, updating and enhancing the functionality of our website to better the customer experience and make things easier for us on the backend.
Web Design Review from Ian Ginsberg
We worked with Code18 on many projects through the years. From creating and updating our blog to creating and updating a 360 degree build of our C.O. Bigelow Surgical Informational Site. They are a pleasure to work with, extremely detail oriented, they deliver ontime and their pricing is fair. Whenever we need something quickly they are there to deliver.

Enterprise Review from Bridget Garcia
We needed a new website for our business and we knew it was time to update the design and make it more user friendly. Rootstrap helped us create our site with all of the latest technology and they were very flexible in terms of our requests. Award winning work! Kudos.
Web Development Review from Ori Goldman
When I was looking to build my MVP I spoke to about 10 shops. Little did I know that I would still be working with that same company over 5 years later. Rootstrap built our MVP and we have stuck with them ever since. Through multiple pivots, design changes, thousands of implemented features, we still feel lucky that we found them 5 years ago.

Brand Messaging Review from Carlyn Reeves
The Big Human team was amazing at helping us bring our new product to life. They helped us through our branding exercise that yielded our brand logo, style guide and messaging library as well as front end website and email style guidelines. Andrew, Maj and team were helpful, kept our group on track and on topic during the workstream meetings. I enjoyed working with the whole team and hope to do it again in the future.
Product Design Review from Joseph Piekarski
Big Human did an amazing job with the refresh of our brand and the complete redesign of our e-commerce site. The team was consistently easy to work with, responsive, and always game to innovate and find new ways to communicate our brand to the audience. The engagement was completed with brand guidelines that we continue to implement at conventions and sales events. Id definitely work with Big Human again, and I recommend them to anyone looking for a brand design or product design partner.

Shopify Plus eCommerce Review from Jessica Grant
Bighorn has been an exceptional partner to our organization here at Sports Basement. They supported us through multiple legal and regulatory accessibility matters with a steady, knowledgeable approach, translating complex requirements into clear, actionable guidance. Throughout these engagements, their team demonstrated a strong understanding of both the legal landscape and the practical realities of building and maintaining accessible digital experiences, which gave us confidence at every step.What truly distinguishes them is that their work goes well beyond compliance. In addition to helping us identify and prioritize accessibility issues, they invested time in educating our teams on how to design and develop accessibility into our site from the start. Their recommendations are thoughtful, pragmatic, and focused on real user impact, enabling us to move from a reactive posture to a more proactive, sustainable accessibility practice.Most importantly, they operate as true partners rather than transactional consultants. Their work is clearly driven by a genuine commitment to making the web usable by all, not simply meeting minimum standards or checking a box. We would strongly recommend them to any organization looking for a strategic accessibility partner who combines expertise, integrity, and a long-term perspective.

Working with a global team, they delivered tailored solutions that perfectly aligned with our business needs. Their responsiveness and attention to detail made the entire process smooth and efficient. Thanks to their expertise, weve gained not only a top-tier software solution but also a valuable long-term partner.

Web Development Review from Liz Ryan
Handbook handles our website development and web-based front end product development. From the initial concept to the final launch, the team always demonstrates a deep understanding of our needs, and delivers on the requirements quickly and completely.If you're looking for a skilled, reliable, and innovative website developer, I highly recommend Handbook. They have been a fantastic partner, and we look forward to working with them again in the future!
Web Development Review from Victoria Lee
I can count on one hand the number of companies Ive worked with in my career that possess the same level of dedication, responsiveness, attention to detail, and trustworthiness as that of an internal team and thats because theres only one: Handbook.First and foremost, Id like to say that if you're considering working with Handbook for your design and/or website development needs, you absolutely will not regret it. The Handbook team goes beyond simply executing our requests, which has not only been refreshing but has also been key to our growth as an online SaaS business.Handbook genuinely cares about our user experience, website performance, and broader business goals. Instead of just implementing what we ask for, they actively evaluate our needs and offer thoughtful recommendations to improve our outcomes.In addition to the quality of work and forward-thinking perspective, we know that we can count on Handbook to be there when we need them. From countless late-night sale asset takedowns to weekend staging QAs so we can feel confident about Monday morning launches, I have never experienced this level of communication and dedication from a company.I would recommend Handbook time and time again to absolutely anyone in need of web development, design, or messaging support. These guys are a rare find and your only regret will be that you didn't start working with them sooner.

Pat and team are great web designers and developers who have really helped us out in multiple areas of web design and development. Trustworthy, easy to communicate with, and I feel like they go the extra mile. Will definitely work with the team again.

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.Marty MarionCEOMaster Positioning, LLC

The people at Straight North were so organized and efficient. Although we ultimately had to go in a different direction due to a change in design needs, the discovery process was very smooth. They devoted significant time to understanding what we needed from the project, and we greatly appreciated it!
Trevor Fulmer's Review Sourced from Google
Working with Straight North has been a great experience. Their team developed a digital marketing strategy tailored specifically to my business. Since working together, I have seen noticeable improvements in Google rankings and website visibility.From SEO strategy and keyword targeting to content recommendations and website optimization, every recommendation was excellent.As an interior design studio, visibility and search performance are incredibly important, and Straight North has helped strengthen both!
Jenny S's Review Sourced from Google
Working with Straight North was an incredible experience from start to finish! When I started looking for web designers, I narrowed it down to four companies, and Straight North was the only one who really took the time to get to know me, our business, and why our goals matter. That personal connection made all the difference.Once we got started, I was blown away by the thought and detail that went into every part of the process. What stood out the most was how open and receptive the team was to my feedback. I truly felt like a part of the process, not just another customer.Our new website is absolutely stunning and perfectly captures who we are and what our brand stands for. I couldn’t be happier with the finished website or with the experience of working with Straight North.Building a great website is truly a collaborative effort, and I’ve learned that the more you put in, the more you get out. I encourage anyone working with Straight North, or any design team to be open, share your vision, and really take the time to engage in the process. The result will be worth it, I promise!Thank you, Straight North, for an amazing experience and a website that we’re so proud of!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Small Projects Bureau Development on our new website for Show Kids, a company offering performing arts classes and after school programs for children in NYC. From start to finish, the experience was amazing.The team at Small Projects Bureau Development truly understood our vision and was able to bring it to life in a way that exceeded our expectations. Their creativity, attention to detail, and technical expertise resulted in a beautifully designed, user-friendly website that perfectly reflects the essence of Show Kids. The website is not only visually appealing but also functional and easy to navigate, which is crucial for our audience of parents.Throughout the process, they were communicative, responsive, and highly professional. They took the time to understand our specific needs and ensured that every element, from the layout to the content, was aligned with our goals. The final product showcases their commitment to quality and their deep understanding of web development.We couldnt be happier with the outcome, and were excited to share our new online presence with our community in NYC. So much so that we are now working with Small Projects Bureau Development again to create a new website for our upcoming location in Barcelona, Spain.

Matt has designed a visionary website for us, the way we wanted to grow our business. The boldness and the range of our work is eye catching and aesthetically displayed. We wanted to be sure that the users understand the length and breadth of our professional capabilities as architects; that too has been flawlessly displayed. I expect this website will make it lot easier to generate and close leads for larger, more impactful building renovations in New York.
Michael Wentzel's Review Sourced from Google
My original website was more of a template than a website. Matt helped me with a complete overhaul and a custom website and I'm ecstatic with the finished product. My website has more conversions than ever and I'm not even advertising yet! My revenue has increased significantly. He showed me how to make simple changes with it on my own and how to assist with SEO. Matt's follow up service is 2nd to none and I can't say enough kind words! Thank so you much for elevating my business, Matt.
