Studio 7 Designs

This was a specialized web design and development company in Canada I had contacted to learn how they differ from their competition which also came highly recommended. I liked their branding and the design of their own site. It's a very effective UI and an appealing example of their design work. They had several case studies which were highly detailed. As detailed as I had come by during my research phase for our custom project. They had three solid client testimonials on their home page which I appreciated though it they would be more significant with companies listed beside them and links to their work.

DISLIKE The company was currently not listed in the Better Business Bureau and I believe this is an immediate way to gain real trust from prospects. Out of the dozens of companies I've researched recently for our start up not just for web development only two had more than one negative complaint. Though I understand the fear of the negative complaint it shouldn't be an issue. I respect companies with the fortitude to put themselves out there for the sake of increased transparency and believe this helps increase the revenue growth of companies which maintain it.

They have a very professional branding and presentation of their services. I liked seeing that they are actively marketing their business by their Alexa rank being under five hundred thousand which is quite high for a small business web design company in my experience. They had several great examples of their previous work available to check out prior to contacting them. They also had a portfolio of their current project which is unique to see in my research thus far. Their specializations were quite diverse and they offer examples of each in their current projects and the designs are stunning to say the least. Unfortunately I don't believe that there was a response to my request for a consultation through their online submit form for our project though I recall mistakenly deleting three voicemails around this time while learning my new smartphone. And if so then I apologize for this. But when searching my email I didn't find anything from them and if they phoned that's great, but an email as well would perhaps get them more business by preventing any possible disconnect between prospect and company in the future. We went in another direction though I don't doubt this is a legitimate, professional company that can help build an awesome web presence for your project or business.

They seemed really nice and i thought they knew what they were doing and I was comfortable working with them. Very open communication and fast to respond which is great.

The end product really didn't have the outcome that I wanted. My target was North America, and most of my followers on my business page are either from South America or India. I mentioned this to them and said they can't control who likes my page, but said there campaigns were directed at people in North America - but I went through all 4300 + names that "Liked" my page, and the only people from North America were the ones I added from my friends list. They kind of did do what I asked, but 99% of the people who follow me etc, never interact, never do anything, so they're either bots, or people who just have no interest in the page but were paid to do so.

They had great customer service, but the end result was depressing. Not what I asked for. I figured out how to do what they were supposed to do, which took a bit of time, but I now have more likes then ever doing it myself - and my likes are from North America.
