SmartSites designed a website for a freelance event production company. After a kickoff meeting, their team developed both the front- and backend of the site.
The new site has been successful, leading to an increase in sales. SmartSites is attentive and dedicated, producing quality work within a short timeframe.
The client submitted this review online.
BACKGROUND
Please describe your company and your position there.
I am the co-founder and co-owner of an event company.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
For what projects/services did your company hire SmartSites?
We hired SmartSites to revamp our website as well as provide some marketing.
What were your goals for this project?
My goal was to have a functional and presentable website that was both mobile optimized and fast.
SOLUTION
How did you select this vendor?
A friend of mine referred me to SmartSites. We reviewed several other vendors but nobody else even came close.
Describe the project in detail.
Once we signed with SmartSites, we had a kick off call to discuss our goals/objectives/vision. After that, their team went into action and over the course of just a little bit over 3 months, we had a brand new website.
What was the team composition?
We were assigned a project manager, but following along in their portal, I saw they had a design team, "front end" team and a "back end" team work on our project.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
The website was a huge success and drives us a lot more sales than what we had before.
How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?
The workflow, managed in their portal, seemed very processed out and polished off. All the teams worked in unison without too much interaction from us.
What did you find most impressive about this company?
The level of attention and dedication from everyone on the team was impressive. Also, any time we had an issue or question, we'd get a response almost right away - very rare in this industry.
Are there any areas for improvement?
I'd love to find something to nitpick, but they were really phenomenal.

SmartSites provided SEO and PPC marketing services to a cosmetic dental practice to generate new leads. They also enhanced the company's website for marketing purposes.
SmartSites delivered strong results exceeding initial goals. Throughout the project, the team offered attentive, results-driven services at an affordable cost.
The client submitted this review online.
BACKGROUND
Please describe your company and your position there.
We are a cosmetic dental practice. I am the owner and dentist.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
For what projects/services did your company hire SmartSites?
To bring in patients. SmartSites made a website, SEO, and PPC marketing.
What were your goals for this project?
Hoping to get at least 2 new people looking for cosmetic dentistry per month. Have been receiving dozens of calls and inquiries per month.
SOLUTION
How did you select this vendor?
From work they did for another practice I was associated with - Real Smile Dental.
Describe the project in detail.
I reached out to SmartSites as I was starting my new practice in New York City. I knew of their work from Real Smile Dental already. NYC was a more competitive market, so they put together the numbers and estimates. Execution went as planned and results speak for themselves.
What was the team composition?
I worked directly with my project manager - who worked with his own copywriters, designers, developers, PPC analyst, etc. but I always spoke directly to my point-of-contact.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
Last month, I received 69 phone calls and 7 form inquiries. Much higher than my initial goals!
How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?
Very effective. My project manager always responded instantly. Most requests were handled by the following day.
What did you find most impressive about this company?
Responsiveness, affordability, results.
Are there any areas for improvement?
The team told me that they are not experts in organic social media. So instead of managing it for me, they played a consulting role with the social media company I engaged with directly.

SmartSites came to the project as a third-party vendor and handled an entire website rebrand. They took on the concept phase, copywriting, development, and more.
While the website hasn’t launched yet, their project management director has excelled at reaching project goals, keeping the project on track despite a lengthy concept approval process and remaining highly responsive throughout.
The client submitted this review online.
BACKGROUND
Please describe your company and your position there.
I’m a marketing consultant in the visual art industry. I was hired by ICEFAT to do a rebrand and find a vendor to build their website.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
For what projects/services did your company hire SmartSites?
We needed to design and build a new website.
What were your goals for this project?
Our main objective was to raise awareness for ICEFAT and establish their members as the gold standard in international art shopping.
SOLUTION
How did you select this vendor?
I worked with SmartSites in 2017 for building a website, and we had a good experience.
Describe the project in detail.
SmartSites presented concepts for the new site at the ICEFAT annual convention last year. ICEFAT approved the concept and I worked with for them over nine months to rebrand, develop copy, collect image assets, and set goals for the project. Anita Kostadinov (Project Management Director, SmartSites) took all of our information and worked with her team to maximize our goals and clarify our mission throughout the site.
What was the team composition?
I only worked with Anita.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
We’re still in the final stages of the project and hope to launch the site next month with ICEFAT's approval.
How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?
Anita has been great. She was very patient during ICEFAT's approval process and has remained responsive throughout the project.
What did you find most impressive about this company?
SmartSites really brings value in terms of user experience.
Are there any areas for improvement?
Not that I have experienced.
