      Justin and team rebuild my website with a new great look and functionality. The website looks great and I'm very happy with it. After the website, Justin and Sheila help me with my Google Advertising, helping to spend my advertising budget much more effectively.

Justin and team did a great job and I've recommended them several friends with businesses that need a better online presents.

      Web Design Review from Joseph Haile

      We had an excellent experience working with Sara and the team at Mojo Media on the design and development of our new EverPatch website. We needed a professional bilingual website that could clearly present our company and products to municipalities, public works departments, contractors, and other infrastructure professionals. From the beginning, Sara took the time to understand our business, our target market, and what we were trying to accomplish. Communication was excellent throughout the project. Whenever we requested a revision or had a question, the team was responsive, patient, and willing to make the necessary adjustments until we were satisfied. What impressed us most was the level of personal attention Sara gave the project. We never felt like just another client. She was accessible, professional, and genuinely interested in making sure the final website represented our company properly. The finished website is professional, modern, easy to navigate, and gives EverPatch the credibility we wanted as we introduce our products to the municipal and infrastructure market. We are very pleased with the overall experience and would confidently recommend Mojo Media to any business looking for a professional web design team that cares about both the quality of the work and the client relationship.

      Sara and the team at Mojo are fantastic at what they do. I reviewed a number of vendors before moving forward with Mojo Media Agency, and Im very happy that we decided to move forward with them. They know their business inside out, from technical knowledge to understanding their audience to platform efficiency. And they are incredibly patient, always enthusiastic, great at problem solving and we are extremely pleased with our final website. I highly recommend Sara and the team, and I have a lot of praise for their technical skills, stakeholder management, and ability to deliver what was agreed (and beyond).

      Web Design Review from Chirag Patel

      Mojo Media did an amazing job building our new website for District AV. We worked with Sara, and she was great from start to finish. From the beginning, she listened to the vision I had for the site, understood our goals, and translated that into a design that was exactly in line with what I was looking for.District AV is a residential technology design and integration company, so it was important that the website felt polished, professional, and aligned with the high-end homes and clients we work with. Mojo did a great job helping us present our services clearly, including lighting control, motorized shades, audio/video, networking, security cameras, smart home control, and support.I've been involved in building a handful of websites in the past, and this was by far the easiest process. Sara was responsive, easy to communicate with, and kept the project moving without making it feel overwhelming. The design was on point from the initial direction I shared, and the final site gave us a much stronger online presence.Since the site is still new, its too early to measure long-term traffic or lead generation results, but the immediate impact is clear. We now have a professional website that better reflects the quality of work we do and gives us a great place to send potential clients, builders, designers, and referral partners.Overall, we're very happy with the final result and would highly recommend Mojo Media to any business looking for a strong website design partner.

      We’ve worked with Saad and his team for close to a year now. They’ve been diligent throughout the process, responsive and communicative. They came in mid-stream to save the project from another development team that didn’t live up to their commitments. I would highly recommend Plego to any company looking to see things move forward on a stalled project or looking for a team that will jump in and start to get things done.

      Yuliia Ten's Review Sourced from Google

      I started working with SoftDoes when our product had already grown beyond the point where small fixes were enough. We needed to rethink several parts of the system and make sure the next stage of growth would not create even more technical debt.The team got into the project fast. Within the first few weeks, they helped us identify the main bottlenecks, clean up several fragile integrations, and improve the parts of the platform that were slowing us down the most.One practical result was that a key operation that used to take around 4-5 minutes now takes less than a minute. I also saw a noticeable drop in recurring technical issues after the release.What I liked most was the way they worked with us. Very little ceremony, clear communication, good technical judgment, and a strong sense of ownership.I’d be happy to work with SoftDoes again on another complex software project.

    • Ryder Mackey

      Ryder Mackey's Review Sourced from Google

      My experience with SoftDoes has been extremely disappointing. Their communication is terrible, the people I dealt with were highly unprofessional, and their pricing is absolutely outrageous compared to the value of the work being delivered.One of my biggest concerns is the company’s lack of transparency. From what I’ve observed, their development work appears to be outsourced to people in Ukraine through another company called Come Back Agency. Even when I searched for SoftDoes online, its website appeared to redirect to Come Back Agency.Take a look at their LinkedIn yourself. They present themselves as a Kansas City-based company, yet I couldn’t find a single employee listed as being based in Kansas City. That raises serious questions about their business structure, where their team actually operates, and who you’re really paying to develop your software.My interactions with the CEO, Orest, were particularly unpleasant. I found him extremely arrogant, dismissive, and condescending. He speaks to customers as though they’re beneath him. Rather than addressing legitimate concerns professionally, his attitude made an already frustrating experience even worse.Their Google reviews also raised serious red flags for me. Several reviewer profiles appeared to have AI-generated profile pictures, and the reviews themselves read as though they were written by ChatGPT rather than genuine customers. Many of these accounts had only ever reviewed SoftDoes.After I confronted them about these concerns, I noticed that some profile pictures had been changed to what appeared to be stock images, and the accounts had gained an additional review of random places. I cannot independently verify who operates these accounts, but the timing and patterns made me seriously question the authenticity of their online reputation.Nothing about my experience with SoftDoes has inspired trust. If you’re looking for custom software development, do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. Verify who you’re actually doing business with, who will be developing your software, and what you’re paying for.

A website template uses pre-built layouts and features, making it faster and more affordable to develop. However, it offers limited customization and scalability.  

For example, you may be able to add your logo and switch the colors and typography of the template. But the fonts are limited to what's freely available, rather than the ones in your brand kit. 

On the other hand, a custom web design means that your site’s features, page layout, user flow, and wireframes are tailored to your business goals and user behaviors. By doing so, you gain more control over your website's components, leading to stronger brand alignment, higher scalability, and optimal user experiences. 

However, custom web design often entails higher upfront costs and longer timelines. 

What industries do they commonly work with?

Milwaukee web designers work with a broad range of industries due to Metro Milwaukee’s position as Wisconsin’s main economic hub. The most common sectors they serve include: 

  • Manufacturing: With approximately 3,000 manufacturers located in Milwaukee, agencies are skilled in producing enterprise-scale industrial portfolios and eCommerce platforms that drive global traffic and sales. 
  • Transportation and logistics: Thanks to the nearby Port of Milwaukee, many agencies have experience creating asset-tracking portals and B2B-focused platforms that enhance supply chain efficiency and support client acquisition. 
  • Food and beverage: Known as Brew City, Milwaukee’s web designers excel in creating user-centric web apps for menu browsing, food ordering and delivery, and online reservations. 
  • Finance: Home to major financial institutions like Northwestern Mutual, Fiserv, KPMG, and Baird, Milwaukee agencies are well-versed in developing online solutions that comply with PCI-DSS, GLBA, and FINRA regulations. 
  • Medical Tech and biotech: Website design companies in Milwaukee specialize in building HIPAA- and FDA-compliant sites that help attract funding and grants. 

How long does it take to build a new website?

Basic business websites with 5-15 unique pages, a simple content management setup, and a few integrations take about 4-6 weeks. Complex websites, such as eCommerce stores and SaaS platforms, can take anywhere from 6 to over 12 weeks. 

The actual time it will take to build your new website will depend on your core features and functionalities, regulatory requirements, design complexity and customization, and third-party integrations. 

Can a Milwaukee web design company help your business rank for Milwaukee-based searches?

Yes. A top Milwaukee web design company can help your business rank for local searches by implementing technical and local SEO best practices. These include ensuring that the site adheres to the web core vitals, has an organized information architecture, and a mobile-responsive design. 

Moreover, it can customize the user experience to the specific behaviors of Milwaukee audiences. Through thorough research and localized content strategies, they align your site with local search intent. While these strategies significantly boost your visibility in local "Map Packs" and organic results, it is important to note that no reputable company can guarantee a specific position.
