      The parachute team helped us completely re-design and re-build our website onto a WordPress platform. Goals of the project including representing our new brand identity, making our offerings more discoverable by both site architecture and SEO and creating an easy to use site we can maintain internally. Jay and the team were very responsive, kept the project organized and delivered on time. Plus, they've been very helpful ongoing whenever we had questions or concerns. The new site looks and functions great.

      WordPress Review from Rui Caluz

      Weve been working with Parachute for over five years, and they have been an excellent partner throughout that time. They developed our McMillan WordPress website and have continued to provide reliable support and guidance ever since.Their team has a strong understanding of the professional services sector including the legal industry which has helped us not only maintain our website but also leverage it more strategically using the right tools and best practices.What truly sets Parachute apart is their responsiveness and hands-on approach. They are quick to assist, proactive, and consistently make us feel like a priority rather than just another client. That level of personal attention and partnership is rare and greatly appreciated.

      Branding Review from Jake Tesoriero

      We've worked with the Dirtverse team on the branding for both North House and, more recently, Norcu. We gave them pretty much free rein creatively and were blown away by what they came back with every step of the way. They really understood what we were trying to achieve, even when we couldn't necessarily put it into words ourselves. They're creative, easy to work with and genuinely great at what they do. We couldn't be happier with both brands and would highly recommend the Dirtverse team!

      We had the absolute pleasure of working with the talented team at Dirt on the branding and website for WldCntry. From our first call their creativity, strategic thinking, and well rounded skillset all spoke to what we believe is high quality work. The team brought WldCntry to life with a visual identity that not only stands out but perfectly captures what we set out to build. A video production company that breaks a few rules while still believing in the fundamentals needed for award winning films. Their ability to translate a feeling and vision into a cohesive impactful brand was an unforgettable experience!

      Staff Augmentation Review from Dzmitry Novikau

      I worked with Kernelics on a crypto project where we needed help with both design and development. From the beginning, the team was easy to communicate with and clearly understood what we were trying to build.The designer improved our initial ideas by making the user experience more intuitive. They suggested better ways to structure the navigation and user flow, which helped reduce friction and made the product easier to use.We also brought in one of their developers, who worked alongside our existing team member. They collaborated well, completed the work on time, and handled some challenging parts of the exchange functionality without any issues.Overall, Kernelics delivered quality work, stayed within budget, and were professional throughout the process. I’d recommend them to others looking for a reliable design and development partner, especially for crypto or fintech projects.

      Web Development Review from Stsiapan Kolesau

      I CEO at the construction company specializing in modular buildings and their components. With years of experience and multiple projects, we decided to expand our online presence beyond our two existing landing pages. We needed a corporate portal to showcase products, manage content easily, and dynamically calculate product costs.On a recommendation, we chose Kernelics, and their organized approach and clear task division impressed us from the start. They began with an in-depth analysis of our needs and a competitive review. For the design, we requested a minimalist style, and the results were spot on, requiring only minor tweaks to meet our expectations.For development, Kernelics selected React, Next.js, and TypeScript, with Strapi for the admin panel. They also integrated Google Sheets to handle dynamic price calculations, enabling instant updates on the site by simply modifying the spreadsheeta feature weve found incredibly useful.Now, two years later, the portal continues to support our growth, and were planning new developments for our main site.Kernelics stood out for their transparent approach and professionalism at every stage, and I confidently recommend them to anyone seeking a reliable web development partner.

      Every few years, I revaluate our marketing team and adjust based onour goals. When my business was at the point where we were ready and positioned for exponential 6 figure revenue growth in the next year - we located and started working with Echo Factory and boy did they deliver for us! Mike Schafer and his entire team were incredibly effective and supportive of us in reaching our goals. During our first year working with EF, we increased our gross revenue by $111,000 and marketing was a big part of that. Thank You, Echo Factory! We are grateful to have found you and are looking forward to a bright future.
