Signal Marketing has been working with Howard Development and Consulting on and off for 15 years now. Their knowledge and expertise are unmatched in the industry. The professionalism and quality of work have always been top-notch and his team always uses a back-end system (currently Basecamp) to make sure my communication with the team is well documented and trackable. When I do have any changes/issues that would arise in any website project, they send back timely responses and further questions to make sure it is done correctly. One thing I just experienced during the two current projects that I have with them right now is the fact that the team will actually give me best practices for changes that I requested to help me make the best decision. Overall, I gave them a 5/5 because, in the 15 plus years that I have been working with Howard Development and Consulting, they have always exceeded my expectations.March 31, 2021

Overall Experience: I was so ecstatic when I was introduced to Rob Howard. I have worked with many developers throughout the 10+ years of building WordPress sites and have always had a rotating door of developers that I could hire to do the more advanced custom work I needed from time to time on client projects. Some were great and easy to work with. But... a few months later they are super busy and can no longer help with small projects. Others struggled to just understand what I needed to be done. Working with Rob Howard and his Dream Team of developers was so easy, reasonably priced, and very organized. They delivered the project on time and without any confusion about what needed to be done. I can't wait to be able to work with them on many more projects to come and know that I will not be left to search for someone reliable to get my next project done in a timely and professional manner.

Overall Experience: Rob and his team are exceptional. Not only do you get superior subject matter expertise, you get reliability, dependability, ease, and a team that makes it so you feel taken care of. I've worked with SO many devs that made matters more complicated or confusing - Howard Development and Consulting does the opposite. They simplify, they streamline, and they take work OFF your plate (not on it). I cannot say enough positive things about this company. If you get a chance to work with them, take it. Your business will be better for it.

Overall Experience: I was in a bind where I needed a new sales page...and I needed it yesterday. They say you can't have "FAST" "CHEAP" and "GOOD" all at the same time, but HDC provided me with a top-notch page well beyond my expectations, they met my (ridiculously last-minute) deadlines, and I received so much value from the whole experience I frankly feel like I stole the page based on the cost. I can't recommend Howard and his team highly enough!

I own a dyslexia tutoring business and Rob created my website keeping the look and feel that I wanted in mind. He answers my questions and/or makes changes to our website within 24 hours. Rob is experienced, organized, hears what you are saying and delivers. He also has a great team.
