We also worked with a business analyst, who ensured the backend work was done according to what we were looking for. Moreover, we worked with a project manager, who oversaw the budgeting and kept everyone on schedule. This teammate also oversaw and planned our meetings and schedules.In addition to the three main teammates involved, there was also a salesperson who was involved in the project from time to time whenever we had questions. There could have been more teammates working on the project behind the scenes, but we never met them.How did you come to work with BizStream?We were already aware of them due to their location. We're both located in the same fairly small town; we're five miles apart.How much have you invested with them?We spent around $75,000.What is the status of this engagement?We started working together in August 2023. The branding project was completed in November 2023, and the website was launched in March 2024. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?Although it is still a bit early to see results, this project already helped us internally. Some of the work we did was to simplify and quicken our own workflow. We were able to add forms on our website that customers could fill out right there instead of having them ask for those forms from us, which helped us save time.In addition to that, the new contact form was cleaner than the one we used in the past, which improved our workflow as well. Moreover, we sell gift cards online, which we can also mail to our customers. Thus far, we've seen a 20%–30% uptick in gift card sales online. BizStream made the gift card purchasing process easier and look better, which probably contributed to that sales increase.Regarding the quality of BizStream's work, we know that we paid a lot for the website, but it was absolutely worth it. Their creative work was quite special, so the new website looked very professional and fit our brand. The work that Rex did in that regard was exceptional.How did BizStream perform from a project management standpoint?BizStream stayed on budget and hit all the deadlines. Deadlines were never an issue, even though we had a fairly aggressive timeline. Our business is seasonal, so we wanted to hit a certain date. Still, BizStream was fantastic in moving everything forward — we never had a slow period or a road bump. Thanks to this, we achieved a steady progress.As mentioned above, they were only five miles down the road, so we had around 25 face-to-face meetings in total. Still, a lot of our communication was via email. BizStream's project manager did a very good job summarizing everything that was covered in those meetings and the main takeaways. It was all very clear.Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?Rex was constant throughout both projects, and he was especially very involved and instrumental during the website development project. He also had a background in graphic design, so he helped create the new logo and came up with the new website design and colors.Our project wasn't very complex, as the website didn't have many bells and whistles, so we were mainly looking for an updated look. Doing that required creative ability in order to create something fitting with what we were looking for. In that regard, Rex did a fantastic job.What did you find most impressive about them?BizStream's creative work was their most impressive asset. Moreover, they did their best to understand our business, and they obviously knew what they were doing.Are there any areas they could improve?There's nothing BizStream could have improved on; it was a really good partnership. We had a good idea of what we wanted, which I'm sure helped the process. Still, it was very easy to work with BizStream.Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?The brainstorming process is very important, and the branding work is really vital before creating a new website. Oftentimes, a lot of people have the idea that they need a new website but they don't have any idea about what their brand is. Therefore, it's a very good idea to take ownership of that.For us, it was really important to go through the branding exercise to take some time and invest in that thought process of understanding who we were, how we wanted to present ourselves, what our voice was, and what our messaging was. Thus, I recommend doing all that work for anyone who's looking for a major refresh of their brand and website. Once you have your brand defined, the work related to the website refresh becomes much easier to do. --- #### Web Development & SEO for Criminal Defense Law Firm **The Project** - Services: Branding, Search Engine Optimization, Web Development - Project size: Confidential - Project length: Jan. - May 2011 **Project Summary**: BizStream designed and developed a website for a criminal defense law firm.

We also engaged in an agreement for ongoing general support with Bizstream, which included consulting and project management on Kentico tasks as they arose.

As BizStream entered development, they used an Agile approach to development to ensure sign off from our team for each step that was completed. How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions? Our main point of contact has been the project manager and the owner. They have a team of developers and one main designer helping behind the scenes. Their team has always been very accommodating when we've asked for requests, even on a short timeline. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

Strategic SEO strategies were implemented to enhance the visibility and reach of the websites.

In the first phase of this project, BizStream and Ferno together focused on the following items: Modern design Improved user experience Support of high-resolution images Enhanced page details Analytic tracking Increased click-through rate Increased page speed Fully responsive SEO ### Delta Education The previous version of the Delta Education website was a relatively large, legacy e-commerce site for the Delta and Foss product lines built without the use of a CMS by a single programmer from 2004-2006. The goal of the update was to create a website that could act as a critical piece of a larger, integrated program – coordinating catalogs, sales, and online efforts for Delta Education. It needed to be a fully responsive, fresh design with both CMS and E-commerce all on one platform, capable of integrating with several other internal systems. The specific project goals included: Sales and marketing integration. Established triggers for phone and email follow-ups. Complete curriculum product line support. Product family organization and set grouping, as well as downloadable content, subscriptions, and event registration. Content management. Direct, independent management of content by marketing and merchandising teams. Single site for content and product details. Curriculum solutions including a robust set of supporting materials like research papers, samples, state correlations, news, and other rich media. This data needed to be directly associated with one or more product sets and able to be managed directly by the support teams. Custom e-commerce functionality. With various third-party integrations. Better web visibility. Established through SEO best practices. ### National Heritage Academies The goals for the site included replacing the existing website that was powered by legacy technologies with an easy-to-use CMS that would allow for many editors to make changes quickly and efficiently from both the corporate office as well as multiple individual school administrations. Other goals include: Replace an existing SharePoint platform that was not meeting the digital marketing team’s need in terms of flexibility and performance Provide a set of tools that support modern digital marketing tactics such as content personalization, lead scoring, and advanced analytics Ensure that existing integrations with NHA’s CRM, Marketing Automation Platform, and Student Information System applications still function Implement a mobile-friendly, responsive design, that would allow users to easily view specialized features across multiple devices, including smartphone, tablet, desktop, and laptop ### Vermeer Dealer Center The goal of the new Vermeer Dealer Center was to replace an existing unsupported platform with a modern portal designed to equip dealers in the field with information at their fingertips. Dealers can now quickly access the entire line of Vermeer products and information using the quality search tool that provides accurate results while working within a complex set of permissions. Other goals included: Automatic Filtering of Data. Vermeer wanted a solution to allow for content to be security trimmed for its two distribution channels and multiple permission settings. WCAG 2.0 AA. Fully compliant for website accessibility. Mobile-friendly. Vermeer wanted a responsive design that would allow users to easily view specialized features across multiple devices, including smartphone, tablet, desktop and laptop. Speed. Many of the Dealer Center users are in rural locations where internet connectivity can be poor. The site needed to be designed to delivery content quickly without a lot of overhead. The client wanted the new site built in the Kentico EMS MVC platform. Custom Single Sign-on (SSO). Easily accessible to multiple systems connecting with Dealer Center. ### LMC The goal of this project was to rebuild, enhance, and consolidate the public www.lmc.net and private member only portions of www.lmc.net/members applications into a single application using .Net and Kentico. The new solution needed to be cloud-based, provide an intuitive mobile friendly interface, have a fast and secure delivery of on-premise data, implemented using best practices, and be easily updatable for future versions of Kentico. ### Roland Cloud Roland Cloud’s goal is to have an easy-access, ever-growing, catalog of legendary and brand-new software instruments for artists, creators and dreamers across the globe. Roland Cloud wanted a site that would support their new paid subscription service that would allow subscribers access to very high-end digital keyboards and a plethora of other instruments. Ultimately, the client was looking to pull in monthly recurring subscribers as well as revenue from subscriptions. Below are some specific goals of the project: Built in the Kentico EMS MVC platform Clean, modern interface to appeal to target market of designers, creators, and artists. Spin up custom landing pages for various large partner marketing efforts to drive traffic. Such as, offering free limited-time subscriptions to customers of enterprise brick & mortar shops in the industry and custom pages to be used at kiosks in those shops and at various tradeshows. The Roland Cloud Manager desktop app needed to pull its content through the Roland Cloud site. WCAG 2.0 AA compliance for website accessibility Implement a mobile-friendly, responsive design, that would allow users to easily view specialized features across multiple devices, including smartphone, tablet, desktop, and laptop SEO optimization Social media integration ### American Society for Microbiology American Society for Microbiology needed a site that would allow the ASM's digital team to easily update content and give them the tools to utilize tags and structured content. BizStream used both out of the box Kentico features and custom solutions and built templates and models that the ASM team could use in a multitude of ways. Multiple integrations, tag-based aggregation, and a flexible taxonomy laid a foundation to serve ASM's 30K+ members and advance microbiology. ### Clutch Awards - [Clutch Award Badge](https://shareables-prod-static.clutch.co/badges/clutch_1000_2023_award.svg) - [Clutch Award Badge](https://shareables-prod-static.clutch.co/badges/top_clutch.co_corporate_branding_company_2023_award.svg) - [Clutch Award Badge](https://shareables-prod-static.clutch.co/badges/top_clutch.co_web_developers_michigan_2026.svg) - [Clutch Award Badge](https://shareables-prod-static.clutch.co/badges/global_award_2023.svg) ### Industry Recognitions - Kentico Site of the Month, Gravely - Kentico Site of the Year, HSHS - Kentico Site of the Month, BDO USA, LLP - Kentico Site of the Year - Global Winner, BDO - Kentico Site of the Month, Vermeer - Kentico Site of the Month, Trustmark Benefits - Corp!
