Reviews
Most of the website developing companies that we initially contacted did not have the flexible system that we required, we needed a website that we could drive and modify, by updating products and pictures on a regular basis.
We found the CMS system that Lifeline Design recommended to be just what we wanted, totally flexible and once trained very easy to use.
We liked the fact that Lifeline Design came to our business for idea and design consultations, and they delivered a number of concepts that we were happy with.
We have found their after service to be impeccable and very prompt.
We have and will continue to recommend the services of Lifeline Design.
When we first began looking for a website developer, what was most important to us was that Summit's new website be structured in a way that we could update it ourselves with relative ease. From the very beginning Lifeline Design has been very helpful and took care to listen closely to our needs. The team at Lifeline Design was able to transform our vision into a format that work well for us. Lifeline Design continues to assist us whenever we have questions. We're very happy with the final results.
Dave from Lifeline Design made the creation of a new website for our church a stress free event. I felt that instead of entering a contract, we entered into a relationship with Lifeline. We appreciated the way Lifeline was able to listen to our needs and then find a way to incorporate a design that would address those aspects. The personal touch through the training seminars was a big bonus. As a result, I was able to go and make changes to the site, with the tools Lifetouch gave to me. When I did run into a snag, help was only a phone call away, and was immediately addressed. We are extremely satisfied with the design process and with the end product.
Our experience with Dave and the good folks at Lifeline Design has been very positive. They helped us decide what 'look' we wanted, and asked all the right questions that enabled our site to be all that we wanted, and more! We were very happy with the initial design, and were amazed at how quickly we were up and running. As for ongoing support, we have found their availability and approachability to be second-to-none. Any issue or question is handled quickly and professionally, and to my knowledge we have had virtually no "down time" since we went 'live' last year. Added to this was their willingness to meet in person with our volunteers and do the initial training, as well as some follow-on training that we required after a while. I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Lifeline, except that I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking professional, competent web design and hosting!
Rev. Peter Bongers
We found these guys to be totally amazing. They prepared some samples and then took our selection with some modifications and put it to paper. We have not had much need to contact them as it was quite seemless but they have always responded quickly to our requests.
Would I deal with them again? You bet!
Dave is VERY, very responsive and helpful. He has enabled me to do all kinds of things for myself yet still stands by to assist IMMEDIATELY when necessary. I still get compliments on our website design. And he does so much MORE....brochure design, helping with my e-mail etc. I am so "not techie", but Dave makes us look "cutting edge"! I recommend him!
We had a few companies quote on our project and decided to use Lifeline Design and have never regretted it.
From the initial interviews and quoting stage to the final product we received we have been treated well. Even the follow up support has been great. They listened to what our company did to get a feel for our comapany and this certainly helped in the development of the web site.
We had initially prepared our ideas on what we wanted to see for the content layout of our web site and a list of uses that we had planned currently and in the future. As we continually add new products we wanted the ability to easily and quickly change pages on a regular basis and Lifeline Design gave us this required ability.
After listening to our ideas they came back with a proposal that we liked. From there they worked with us until we were happy with how everything worked and how everything looked. They always kept us up to date on progress as site was being developed and even gave us some suggestions that we never considered to further enhance the site.
Their training was thorough and helped us a great deal to be immediately start adding content to our site.
Then before we knew it our site was up and running.
Their modules were easy to use and manipulate to quickly add content to our web site.
Even today they continue to provide support to us when any questions come up.
We had a great experience creating our own site using Lifeline Design and truly felt they were there to make us happy with the end result.
