The Land Institute (TLI) seeks to establish a leading digital presence that reflects its mission and commitment to the Perennial Movement. As an organization focused on transformative agricultural research, education, and engagement, TLI requires a website that enhances user experience, improves accessibility, and ensures content delivery aligns with stakeholder needs. The existing website has served as an information hub, but it requires modernization to meet evolving digital standards, audience expectations, and organizational goals.

I’m the Head of Development at Lonestar Soccer Club, a youth soccer organization offering programs for ages 4-19. We focus on player development, people development, and providing competitive and recreational opportunities for all skill levels and backgrounds.

We needed help designing and developing our new website to create a more intuitive and compelling digital storefront for families looking for soccer opportunities throughout Central Texas. We also wanted to position Lonestar SC as a thought leader and authority figure in the world of youth soccer in Central Texas.

GLIDE® designed and developed our website on WordPress. The team was also responsible for SEO, information architecture, and tech stack consulting.

We worked with 2–5 teammates from GLIDE®.

We found GLIDE® through an online search. We chose them over other options because they had high ratings, were close to our geographic location, had pricing that fit our budget, had a great culture fit and company values that aligned with ours.

We started working together in November 2025 and ceased when the website launched in April 2026. We use them periodically for web support.

We don’t have data yet, but the look and feel of the website have drastically improved, along with how intuitive and simple it is to navigate the website. We’ve also seen a 30%–50% increase in sponsorship inquiries, which we directly attribute to the new website.

GLIDE®’s project management has been phenomenal. Madeline has been wonderful to work with. She’s responsive, organized, and shows a lot of leadership throughout the project. We mostly communicated via email and had 1x weekly standing meeting.

GLIDE® makes complex ideas very clear and easy to understand. They’re great teachers and educators, so we feel like we know what’s going on the entire time which made it very easy to trust them throughout the project.

I don’t think there’s anything they can improve on.

I'm the senior director of marketing for a logistics company. We provide over-the-road transportation services for shippers across North America.

We hired them to redesign our website.

GLIDE® has provided web design and development services. The team has created a brand-new website from scratch, including the backend and frontend. They've also migrated some resources from the old website, but essentially built a new webpage.

We work with a project manager, a creative director, and an implementation team.

We interviewed many agencies before settling on GLIDE®. We went through a quite extensive vetting process and a pretty stringent statement of work. They definitely worked hard to get our business.

We started working together in February 2024, the website was launched in July 2024, and our partnership is still ongoing.

The team's work has been incredible. They have transformed our website and seen an incredible amount of traffic. They have continued to optimize our website, and we see more results month over month. The team has helped us rank for service-based and interest-based target keywords, which we never had before.

The team has been incredible. We've been on very specific timelines, and the team has met all of them. We had one slight delay, but it wasn't their fault. The team has been quite flexible and accommodating.

When we evaluated them against other providers, everything looked like it was built on a template. In contrast, everything they showed us was a unique painting. There was nothing cookie-cutter about them, which we loved.

There's nothing I can think of. The team is flexible and open to feedback.

Be transparent upfront about what you want. Think about your tech stack, what you need to integrate with, and the design you want. Make a list of the content you want to migrate. Giving that information to GLIDE® allows them to create something customized and unique for your business.

Glide recreated our website so that it is more modern, up to date and is more user friendly on any device we are searched on.

The measurable outcomes were better visual esthetic and ease in using our website on mobile device.

The whole process of the project management was incredible. They created an timeline asked if we have anything that would hinder the timeline before we started. Every step was completed on time and we had meetings to check in and go over design and content. The responded to all emails within 24 hours.

The start to finish process was amazing! They created the timeline, stuck to it and we were live when they expected us to be. All meetings were professional, and they were prepared at each meeting with what was planned to be discussed that day. Each person we worked with had a role and if we had a question outside of that role then they would ask the person who could help us with our need. Our whole experience was impressive with Glide from start to finish.

Nothing comes to mind.

The new website that Travis and his team at Glide Design built for us in 2007 has been a major part of our business success over the years. I’m convinced that, along with a lot of hard work on our end, our executive search firm was ranked #10 in the world by Forbes in 2017. At our peak, we were logging over 2000 unique visitors a day, which in the niche world of retained “Executive Recruiting” was was pretty impressive. The professional look, feel, and user-friendly functionality of the site made quite a positive impression on clients and candidates alike. The mobile experience of our visitors has likewise been seemless and user-friendly. And then their technical support over the years was stellar and prompt.

It sound like an exaggeration but every project we've had them do was done in a timely manner. They are quintessential professionals.

It's a tough call to say what has been most impressive. They operated at a high level of technical proficiency and courteous professionalism.

I can think of any...
