Building a lasting partnership with your organization.
Activated Studio has been with us from the beginning. They are like members of our team, we rely on them so much. We trust their judgment and appreciate their approach to solving our web related business problems.
“From providing support when needed to project leadership when asked, the Activated Studio team has always come through for us. We’ve been counting on Activated Studio for five years to maintain several high-traffic websites in a competitive space, and have also engaged them for custom design/development projects. This crew does not disappoint. Not only have they enhanced our users’ frontend experience, improving engagement and search performance, they’ve also simplified and streamlined our backend experience, making all of our jobs easier. And we know Activated Studio has our back and will reply within minutes via slack or email if we need them. Where would we be without them? Don’t want to know.”
