The project began with brand development, including the selection of brand colors and imagery (including custom logo design) for a new company brand. Once we finalized the brand, the project scope next involved the creation (design, programing) of an entirely new company website replete with branding, video, a content library and links to resources. Deliverables included the logo itself and the fully functional website (including hosting).

The logo suited all of our branding and brand imagery needs. The brand standards guidelines have been used for everything from signage to company office decor. The website has driven solid traffic and has been a key marketing resource for our sales team.

Yes, project managers were tiered such that progress was measured consistently with full visibility on my part (as the client) in terms of next steps. The deliverables were iterative with extensive feedback sessions to confrim and communicate alignment in terms of goals and output/results. Responses were fast, accurate and actionable.

Excellent execution, outstanding quality of work, deep interest in client satisfaction and a passion for high-quality results.

Storm Brain worked tirelessly and dedicated countless hours to develop a completely new website and theme for our company.

Their commitment to our vision and meticulous attention to detail resulted in the dream website we had always envisioned. We are truly grateful for their hard work and expertise throughout the entire process.

Storm Brain not only exceeded our expectations in the quality of their work but also delivered our website on time. They responded to all of our needs exceptionally well, demonstrating a deep understanding of our vision and goals. Their dedication and professionalism ensured that we met our launch deadline, allowing us to make a strong impact in the market right from the start.

We found their personable environment and their ability to meet our every need to be truly unique, all while being timely and professional.

We love everyone at Storm Brain and would suggest this company to everyone!

I’m the chief strategy officer of an early childhood education and care company. We have 12 centers in the New York Area for children ages 0–5.

We needed help to rebrand and design a new website from scratch.

We initially underwent a branding exercise, working closely with Storm Brain to examine the current branding elements and decide what to maintain, what to add, and which brand attributes to convey. They guided us through that process and then developed potential new logos and brand identities to represent that.

On the client-facing side, we had Leah (CEO), Blake (President & Founder), an account manager, and an interaction director.

My colleague initially found them; I don’t remember the source.

We spent about $35,000.

We began the engagement in January 2024, and they completed the project in June 2024.

Storm Brain’s work was incredibly high-quality. The website design was excellent and highly functional. Moreover, they took an undefined brand and followed our cues to make it something really tangible. They brought my vision to life, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome.

They delivered everything on time and within budget. We communicated through Google Docs, phone calls, and emails.

Their biggest strengths were branding and design. Storm Brain combined their creativity from a design perspective with commercial-mindedness. Overall, their creativity and design elements were perfectly suited to our industry.

No, I didn’t find any improvement areas.

Working with Leah and Blake was helpful. They were really impressive, but I’d give kudos to the whole team.

I'm the VP of operations at a signs and graphics company. I also oversee the marketing department that works with the website staff.

We were looking for ongoing web maintenance and SEO services.

Storm Brain provides web maintenance and SEO services for our company. The team created our WordPress website and asked if we required maintenance services. For SEO, Storm Brain has provided me with a list of proposed keywords that I accepted. Storm Brain provides general web consulting services when I have questions.

I was mostly in contact with Blake (President & Founder). I also worked with a digital account manager.

We've spent around $10,000–$20,000 on this project.

Storm Brain finished building our website in November 2018, and we began this engagement in the same month. Our partnership with Storm Brain is ongoing.

Storm Brain's SEO services have led to a higher ranking in our targeted keywords. We now rank on the first page of results for some of our target markets, while before, we didn't appear on the first page. I want to congratulate the entire team.

Storm Brain communicates really well via email — they're the most responsive service provider I've worked with. When I require a task from Storm Brain, they immediately help me and return with a quote and scope. Storm Brain's project management is seamless.

I like that Storm Brain doesn't try to sell me services I don't need, as I don't like hard sales. The team only recommends services we really need, and we almost always follow their recommendations.

I can't think of anything Storm Brain could improve on.

I suggest being as active as Storm Brain is regarding communication.

I’m the VP of Marketing for Motivational Systems, an environmental graphics firm. We work with commercial and residential architects, designers, and other public and private clients.

We hired Storm Brain to redesign our outdated website.

Our overall goal was to have an easy-to-navigate website that could showcase our many services. We wanted an attractive, modern look to help us rank higher in search results.

Our ideal vendor needed to be local to us in San Diego. We interviewed three web developers who we could meet in person. We chose Storm Brain because of their willingness to visit our facilities and attempts to understand our business before giving us a quote. We felt comfortable with their team and liked their personalities.

To begin, we shared several examples of sites so Storm Brain would know what we envisioned for our platform. They then transformed our site by incorporating our ideas and existing collateral to create the updated WordPress site.

Our project lead was Leah (CEO, Storm Brain) and she communicated with the rest of their team on our behalf. Blake (Chief Strategy Officer & Founder) joined the project for the presentation and launch stages.

Though we only went live recently, we’ve already had a meaningful increase in inquiries. Additionally, our overall web traffic has nearly doubled, and visitors remain on our site significantly longer than they did on our previously.

Storm Brain managed the project well. There were designated, shared folders for all the information and we had weekly phone meetings to review progress. We remained on the same page throughout the engagement, and their communication approach was effective.

Their organization and communicative nature stood out to us. They had a strong focus on the project and produced a fantastic, impressive website.

I’m the founder of Wendego Inc., a managed IT and cybersecurity company servicing small and mid-size businesses.

We needed help with website design.

Storm Brain has been providing website design services for us. We’ve started working together on a project for a mutual customer, and that has moved to a full-blown relationship, including redesigning our website. The team has also worked closely with us to solve DNS issues and ensure everything is transitioning well.

We’ve worked directly with Blake and interacted with Leah (CEO) and Rhonda (Director of Brand Partnerships). All of them are working under Blake.

A mutual customer referred us to Storm Brain.

We currently invest $15,000–$25,000 for every project with them.

We started working together in February 2024, and the engagement is ongoing.

We really like Storm Brain's website design work, which has come up smoothly and with no issues, so I'm very impressed. Regarding metrics, the project is still fresh since it usually takes 6–8 months to see real results. Still, we've noticed that our website is performing better and loading faster according to Google's score, which helps a lot with SEO because the slower the site, the slower Google's response is to take the site to the top of the list.

Storm Brain has completely delivered on time and within budget without surprises. Regarding tools and communication, we use email, phone calls, and text messages.

Blake is an awesome guy who is very professional, always on time and to the point, and attends to our needs immediately. Whenever we get stuck, he replies within an hour or less.

Storm Brain's follow-up and responsiveness to our questions or requests have impressed me the most about their work. There's no drama and no fuss; they get the job done and do it usually in half a day, which is amazing. Kudos to the team for killing it.

I don't think there's anything they can improve on. There hasn't been anything that I feel like they're missing.

Be responsive, on top of things, set expectations from the beginning, and be open to their suggestions. They're very creative and have a professional team that might come up with something that wasn't even on your radar.
