Peter Corbett CEO & President, Insports Centers

I can recommend the team at Echo Brand Group without any hesitation! In three weeks, they built a website that exceeded my expectations – but more important, it has more impact and usability than all of my competitors websites. It looks great on mobile phones also. This is a great team to work with, who made all the details of our web project easy for us. Whatever we needed, they did it – photography, copy writing, logo design. It all came together in a great website. Then they trained our staff, and our theme has been easy to update. They have a great approach to building a new website – highly recommend giving them a call.

Drew Seath Marketing Director, Absolute Value

I feel fortunate to have had Echo Brand Group do a complete overhaul of our website. Throughout the project they demonstrated expertise in all facets of the project, from what technology to use, how the site should be designed, appropriate content marketing strategies, SEO and more. They provided a turn-key service that allowed me to focus on running my business and they focused on building the website my business needed.

I found them to be thorough, diligent, knowledgeable, responsive – and on-budget. I am already talking to them about the next round of updates and can’t wait to get started with them!
