BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the superintendent of communications and marketing for Hoffman Estates Park District, a government entity.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Prolific Digital?

We needed help with website design and development.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Prolific Digital is redesigning and redeveloping our website from scratch to improve it. We’ve collaborated with them during the discovery phase.

What is the team composition?

We’ve worked with six individuals from Prolific Digital, including a project manager.

How did you come to work with Prolific Digital?

We had an RFP, and Prolific Digital submitted a proposal. Their proposal was the most extensive of all the others, explaining how they would meet our needs and what added value they would bring with their branding expertise.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve invested around $106,000 in the development project. However, they're hosting our website as well.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in May 2025, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

The quality of Prolific Digital's work is outstanding.

How did Prolific Digital perform from a project management standpoint?

Prolific Digital goes above and beyond to deliver on time and within budget. We use Notion for project management, and our project manager does weekly check-ins to ensure everyone is on the same page. They’ve also used Figma and Google Suite.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Prolific Digital's biggest strength is their SEO optimization knowledge. They also have a partner for web accessibility, and they walk the talk of their values.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, there's nothing they need to improve.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Finding talented, creative people who also have the know-how for tech and SEO is difficult, and Prolific Digital is one of those agencies. My advice is to lean into their branding advice and utilize their expertise in all the different areas of website design and development.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the IT director of a nonprofit organization that serves 23 counties in Eastern Kentucky. We help people find jobs.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Prolific Digital?

We previously had a Squarespace website that wasn’t as flashy as a lot of the other websites we saw. We felt the need to have a website with a wow factor, especially if we were looking for donations or if anyone was trying to find more information about us.

We work with employers and job seekers, so we have four different audiences: job seekers, employers, stakeholders, and lawmakers. Therefore, we needed a versatile and good-looking website.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Prolific Digital has provided us with rebranding services, including web design, web development, logos, and color schemes. Initially, we had a discovery phase where they asked us questions. We had already described what we wanted in the RFP, so we had a foundation for the discovery meetings.

After the discovery phase, we went into the development phase, where Prolific Digital provided us with wireframes and mock-ups of what we wanted. Then, we moved on to the design phase. We had a logo and a color palette, and they were tasked with using our colors.

The team has built the website on WordPress. One of the things they've helped us develop is a career map. On this map, users can type in their location, and it will show them our physical locations.

Prolific Digital has also offered us a maintenance plan and a maintenance retainer. The maintenance retainer includes everything in the maintenance plan, including basic updates and hosting. It also includes two-week sprints.

What is the team composition?

We were in contact with Ashley, who was the lead on our project, although I believe she no longer works for Prolific Digital. We've also been in contact with Chris.

How did you come to work with Prolific Digital?

We had to issue an RFP because we knew the contract amount was going to exceed our threshold. We advertised the RFP, and we knew of Prolific Digital. We received around 18–21 proposals from different companies willing to make a website for us. We went through an RFP grading process, and Prolific Digital scored the highest, so we chose them.

How much have you invested with them?

We've spent between $40,000–$60,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them around September 2024, and the new website went live in December 2024. However, they still offer maintenance services.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Prolific Digital has delivered a very good website. The website looks good, and the UX is good.

How did Prolific Digital perform from a project management standpoint?

Prolific Digital has delivered on time and within our allocated budget. We primarily communicate via email. When the project started, we had a weekly Google Meet meeting. Prolific Digital has also used other platforms, such as Notion, Figma, and Slack. Every now and then, I get on Notion to update something.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their flexibility is impressive. Moreover, Chris is very nice and knowledgeable. He's always willing to go above and beyond his professional scope to keep helping me.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, they're fine.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Be clear about what you want and provide images and markups of exactly what you want. Prolific Digital will take their creative freedom, which they should, but sometimes that creative freedom will go the wrong way, and you’ll have to start from scratch. That will eat up the project time on both ends. Therefore, be descriptive and set some guardrails.

Prolific Digital created a complete brand identity for us, including a new logo, color scheme, and tagline. They also developed a suite of marketing materials such as social media templates and save-the-date mailers, ensuring that everything aligned with the new brand. Their work provided us with both a strong foundation for our communications and practical tools we could use right away.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The project drove real impact: the client reported a $45,000 revenue boost—growing from $88,000 in 2024 to $135,000 in 2025—highlighting the branding’s effectiveness in elevating event performance.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

They were highly organized and responsive throughout the process. All deliverables were provided on time and housed in an easy-to-access shared folder, which made it seamless for our entire team to use and stay aligned. Their communication was outstanding. They were proactive in checking in, quick to respond to questions, and made us feel like a priority. They took the time to listen to our needs and ensured the final product truly reflected our vision. Their responsiveness and attention to detail made the process smooth and collaborative.

Honestly, our experience with Prolific Digital was overwhelmingly positive. They delivered high-quality work, communicated exceptionally well, and transformed our brand.  Working with Prolific Digital was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. They combined creativity, professionalism, and outstanding communication to deliver a complete branding package that exceeded our expectations. The team was collaborative, attentive to our needs, and made the process enjoyable and stress-free. We are thrilled with the results and would highly recommend them to anyone.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

We engaged Prolific Digital after we had a security incident while with a previous web development vendor. Prolific helped us to assess our vulnerabilities, create a plan for remediation, fully map our existing web properties, execute a migration strategy, and ensure parity of functionality post migration.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Ensure WordPress core and plugins are running on the most up to date versions.

Patch critical security vulnerabilities.

Redesign system architecture for improved performance and security.

Modernize functional solutions, replace outmoded plugins, enhance organizational best practices for web development.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Prolific Digital not only delivered outcomes on time and in scope, they consistently went above and beyond — many times providing services and additional assistance at no extra charge or in a good-faith gesture of partnership with our organization. Their response time and collaboration with our team is always informative, clear and concise, and supportive. 
Prolific manages projects and people with great care, and always references the broader view of their relationship with us. With Chris and his team, we are not nickel-and-dimed, we are not sidelined, we are not relegated to an endless backlog of activities shared by all of their clients — our work is always treated with appropriate priority, our people are highly respected, and our time and money is always valued.

What was your primary form of communication with Prolific Digital?

• In-Person Meeting
• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Prolific Digital is able to provide an extremely high level of service, quality, and performance with a very lean and nimble team of developers and account managers, and yet they are still able to do this while maintaining a healthy value for work-life balance, deadlines and deliverables, and core business requirements.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Prolific Digital could have done differently?

While this has had absolutely no effect on the quality or speed of work provided to us by Prolific Digital, an account executive/project manager dedicated to synergizing all of our tasks and deliverables would reduce strain on Prolific's chief developers/architects.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the regional marketing director for a beverage company. My role involves the whole brand portfolio of global travel retail in Eurasia, Africa, and the Middle East.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Prolific Digital?

We were redesigning two of our brands, including new portfolios and creative campaigns. We needed new websites to reflect the new brand positioning, portfolio, and creative assets. 

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Prolific Digital developed websites for two of our products. They built both websites from scratch because the old ones weren't working well. Prolific Digital worked on both projects simultaneously, but the scope of work was different for each. For one project, they did the build while being supported by our creative agency on the design. For the other website, they were doing both design and development work, though they still consulted with our creative agency. 

What is the team composition?

We worked with four people from their team, including Chris, Ashley, and Jason, though I'm sure more teammates were involved.

How did you come to work with Prolific Digital?

They had worked on other projects at our company before and were recommended to us. Our integrated marketing communications manager was based in the US and had some experience with Prolific Digital. We initially hired them for one of the projects but then gave them the other website, too. 

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from December 2022–July 2024. Although they might still provide bits and pieces of work, the bulk of the project was completed in July 2024. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

We haven’t done a proper evaluation of the websites, but qualitatively, they’re seen as a much more premium experience with the brand. We’re now more proudly able to share the link to our website with customers. We feel proud of sending people to the website because it gives them the brand experience we want to give people. I worked closely with Prolific Digital and experienced a proactive and positive mindset to finding solutions.

How did Prolific Digital perform from a project management standpoint?

There were periods when it was quite frantic, but we found our way. We communicated via Google Meet and had weekly check-ins. The Prolific Digital team was available for last-minute calls. 

Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?

Chris was a good counselor and solution-finder. He helped us when we didn’t have the resources and was always willing to help. He was very positive and sometimes took the heat out of the situation. Ashley was pretty organized, and Jason was creative.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Prolific Digital's positivity was one of their biggest strengths. They had a mindset of working through ambiguity and finding solutions. They were passionate, positive, and solution-oriented. They were good at working across a multi-matrix organization and investigating different stakeholders, whether they be our internal digital teams or our creative agency. They knew their area of expertise.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They could have impressed more on what luxury looks like in digital. We could have seen a bit more thought leadership from them regarding luxury digital products outside of the spirits industry.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

They’re good at finding solutions for the client, even if they’re outside the scope. They’re good at finding ways to make the client's life easier.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

The creative scope for the Kentucky Music Trail project encompasses a comprehensive suite of tasks aimed at developing a cohesive and engaging brand to spotlight this iconic trail as a premier tourist destination. The objective is to craft a distinctive brand identity that not only increases awareness of Kentucky's rich musical heritage but also drives visitor traffic to historic music sites and establishes the trail as a must-visit for music lovers. Key tasks include the creation of a unique brand identity, covering logo design, font selection, color palette, and visual elements that resonate with the trail's essence.

Additionally, the development of a user-friendly digital and printable passport is planned to enhance visitor interaction with the trail. A major deliverable is the design and launch of an informative website featuring interactive maps, site descriptions, and resources to aid visitors. The project also entails producing promotional materials like kiosk stands, brochures, and signage, alongside capturing high-quality photography of key sites for marketing use. Press kits aimed at travel writers and influencers will be developed to amplify the trail's media presence, supported by a robust multi-channel marketing campaign encompassing social media and digital advertising. Finally, performance tracking mechanisms will be implemented to gauge the effectiveness of these marketing efforts, allowing for data-driven adjustments to optimize reach and engagement.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

We had a strict timeline and they met every deadline.  Their communication was excellent, everything was posted to a Notion page that I was able to share with the rest of our stakeholders and it was very easy for all of us to see the progress being made on the project.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Yes, evreything has been delivered on time.  All feedback was accepted and welcomed.  It was very easy to submit changes to the final product, they had an online option that would take a screenshot of the webpage, and we could draw on it and make notes of what we wanted different.  Very easy to use and made the change process super easy for our group.

What was your primary form of communication with Prolific Digital?

Virtual Meeting

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

We were thrilled with the work Prolific provided us.  We knew it would be unique and meet our expectations, but the product they delivered completely blew past our expectations and we could not be happier.  We loved that they kept all of our stakeholders up to date with the project by keeping a notion page updated with very detailed information.  

Are there any areas for improvement or something Prolific Digital could have done differently?

Not at all.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I work for Brown-Forman, a liquor company. I'm the global brand manager for The Glendronach, a single-malt Scotch whiskey.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Prolific Digital?

We were going through a full global restage of the brand, which included creating new packaging and a new creative campaign. We also needed a new website to support all of that, so we hired Prolific Digital to help us out.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Prolific Digital has helped us design and develop a new website from scratch to relaunch our whiskey brand. Their team had already created several websites for Brown-Forman in the past, so they were already familiar with our business when this project started.

To create this website, we had some wireframes already set up that we were able to leverage. Still, Prolific Digital has added a number of features. To date, they're continuously optimizing our website. As for the technology stack, the team has used Figma for the designs.

What is the team composition?

We've worked with 4–6 teammates from Prolific Digital across multiple functions. Their team includes Chris (Founder), Ashley (Account Executive), a design team, and a copywriting team.

How did you come to work with Prolific Digital?

Someone else introduced Prolific Digital to our business, so they were already set up when this project arose.

What is the status of this engagement?

We began working with them in December 2023, and our engagement is ongoing. Still, the project is about 95% done. The website is now live, but Prolific Digital is still working on some final touches, such as refining certain elements.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Prolific Digital has been amazing to work with. They're incredibly collaborative and have become an integral part of our business at this stage. They work really well across multiple areas, including the design, the technical side, and the website's backend. We've been pleased with the project overall, so we would definitely recommend them. We'll continue working with them in the future as well.

How did Prolific Digital perform from a project management standpoint?

Prolific Digital offers great communication and excels at adhering to schedules. They're very clear and communicate any delays upfront. Moreover, they've worked hard to ensure that we meet all the important deadlines. We communicate over Google Meet once per week.

Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?

Although Chris is the founder, he has been very involved in the process when needed. He has gone above and beyond offering support and guidance. Moreover, Ashley has been very patient and offered a lot of support throughout our collaboration.

What did you find most impressive about them?

It's impressive how well Prolific Digital has integrated into the Brown-Forman business. The project obviously requires more than the brand design; it also requires getting things set up on the backend. Still, Prolific Digital works very well across our business and collaborates well with our IT team, establishing a very seamless process.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I can't think of anything Prolific Digital could improve on.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

Go in with a pretty clear idea of your objectives and provide clear guidance on your design guidelines and requirements. Prolific Digital helped us with that at the outset of the project, which was really helpful. Therefore, it's important to have a clear vision and some very open conversations about it, as well as your timeline and budgetary limitations.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the integrated marketing communications manager for a company that manufactures spirits and beverages. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Prolific Digital?

We hired Prolific Digital to build a website for a newly launched brand of ours. Our internal development team couldn’t take on the project because of their workload. It made sense for us to go directly to an agency that could focus on the project. 

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Prolific Digital participated in a discovery process. We had a unique project and product, the team helped coordinate many things related to the project. Meanwhile, our team had a clear direction regarding assets, and Prolific Digital used it as guidance. They designed the website using Figma and built it on WordPress. We chose WordPress because our partners across the world would most likely be more capable of interacting with WordPress than with Drupal. 

For features and functionality, the website was quite basic and a standalone brand website. This was a business decision made through our relationship with our partner brand. The site also had a data collection feature since we anticipated to email users through our databases. There were some videos, carousels, and slides on the site. Overall, it was a straightforward website. 

How did you come to work with Prolific Digital?

Prolific Digital did some work within our portfolio of brands, so they came recommended internally. 

How much have you invested with them?

We invested around $100,000. 

What is the status of this engagement?

The project lasted from January–September 2023. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? 

Prolific Digital had a great vision for the experience and exhibited great flexibility. The stakeholders were much more hands-on with this project than with a typical website. Given that, the quality of the team’s work truly showed through as far as being a partner and building experiences were concerned. 

How did Prolific Digital perform from a project management standpoint?

The Prolific Digital team hit all their marks unless we were delayed by something such as approvals from stakeholders. They helped in every aspect of project management and provided weekly updates. Their members had open communication and a refreshing approach to partnering with an agency to build a website. 

For tools, they used Figma, where I could track everything. It was truly useful. During the staging process, they provided me with a tool where I could press a button to take a screenshot of a page. There would be a field where I could write my feedback or comment. It was a super cool tool that sped up the feedback process.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We’d built some sites with other external agencies — some of them were large while others were small — and this particular experience with Prolific Digital was great. 

We had a lot of ambiguity around this project, but the team was great at communicating and soliciting as much feedback from the stakeholders as possible. Moreover, they were open to all of the complexities of the project. Some of these complexities weren’t usually seen in web-building projects, and they truly helped us navigate around them. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, there weren’t any. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Have a clear plan. Come to Prolific Digital with a thorough idea and project brief, which is critical to any project.
