I can't say enough about the quality of work I have experienced with Boston Web Designers. My first interaction with James and his team was through an ad agency and they provided our out-sourced web-development capabilities. Even though we had in-house creative, design and digital media capabilities, the team at Boston Web Designers still provided strategic collaboration on all of those initiatives - above and beyond just the web development. They are always, thoughtful, strategic, responsive and on-time. When they give you a quote, you can be confident to get the job done right, on-budget and on-time. I almost never give 10 ratings - but could have given them tens across the board. I put down a 9 for value just to avoid ALL 10’s because while they are affordable, you can always find a lower-cost provider. But value is more than cost, and when you look at what Boston Web Designers delivers for their cost, maybe I should have given them an 11 for Value! If you decide to work with Boston Web Designers, you will be glad you did. I know I am. August 21, 2019

Overall Experience: We worked with James Kennedy and his team at Boston Web Designers to create a brand new website for our Intellectual Property firm. They were very easy to work with - extremely professional throughout each step of the process - from a straightforward quote, through communications on design, to on-schedule completion. They incorporated design elements that achieved our goals of aligning the site to our high tech client base, infusing the site with movement and facilitating visitor navigation. With their knowledge and experience, they were able to quickly integrate any Word Press plug-ins needed to streamline the user experience. Special thanks to our Account Rep - Adam - for his always timely response to requests for site updates, additions and/or changes. We continue to receive compliments on the new site and look forward to working with Boston Web Designers on phase 2 of our site which will involve adding functionality for our upcoming webinar programs.

Overall Experience: As a researcher in sociology, I needed help with conducting online surveys, and the MBA Team definitely fulfilled all my expectations. Studying careers over the life course required careful data collection and highest priority is the privacy of respondents. For the online surveys, Kennedy and his team were excellent in all aspects of the data collection. For the Harvard Lawyer Study, I needed to keep track of responses from different cohorts including the 100 questions that needed to be transferred into a readable format. Kennedy and his team truly helped me in transferring the responses in the data format I needed. For my second survey project at the American Bar Foundation in Chicago, the MBA team assisted in the online data collection of another lawyer study (AJD Study). This time one cohort, 100 questions and many reminder emails to our respondents. Keeping up with all the data, I was happy we had the MBA team on board. The online survey looked fantastic, was user-friendly for respondents, and easy to manage from my end. Again, compiling the data in a format I needed was super helpful to me. Both surveys are very well known in the literature of law and society. I am glad I explored a smaller team instead of a large survey company! The MBA team was absolutely pleasant to work with and available at all “crazy” times during the process of my research projects. Many thanks again to the MBA team who created fantastic academic online surveys!!!

Overall Experience: The team did a tremendous job of getting our small business web site up and running. We are local non-profit that organizes and runs a wrestling program in Littleton MA for kids in our town and the neighboring communities. The professional, responsive and cost efficient support we received really made the difference for us. I am happy to endorse and recommend them to anyone.

Overall Experience: We've been working with the team for years, and it has been a wonderful experience. Having worked with some poor designers in the past, it was refreshing to have a team who actually knows what they are talking about, takes the time to listen to what we want, and is able to bring our ideas and ambition to life. Our project was a complex one, but James and his team really made the experience a lot less stressful and brought some fresh ideas to the table. We are extremely satisfied with our results and would recommend them to anyone who wants the work done right. You can view one of our projects at www.corporatecoachlimousine.com

Overall Experience: Boston Web Designers made re-designing and managing our website very easy and efficient! Us having little web-design background, James and his staff were always quickly available to provide lessons and demonstrations in managing our new website design. During the re-design process, they were quick to deliver new ideas and solutions. Highly recommended based on quality and our customer service experience!

Overall Experience: I have worked with James and the team for a number of years. At Acronis they were instrumental in helping us position our company as a market leader and then assisted in building the strategy required to execute against the plan. They are very thoughtful, knowledgeable, concerned about you and your companies success. I would use them again in a heartbeat.

Overall Experience: I have been a customer of Boston Web Designers for over 15 years. They do what I cannot and do not want to do with speed and accuracy. I have multiple domains and web pages which have been revised though the years. I can send an the company an email and in a short time, it is change to what I need without ever feeling like I am bothering their team. Jim and his team also hosted a page for a non-profit that I was President of. Thanks to their team, many families could easily navigate our site and I was able to spend my time coaching and not working on a website. Price, speed and accuracy all from the same company. I'll continue to use Jim and his team. Ray Boutin
