Why the five stars? Simple: 99 percent of the time I call Almost Everything Communications, someone…read morepicks-up the phone... no voicemail front-line; no sending an email through some anti-spam (anti-contact) interface on their website... an actual carbon-based life form actually answers the phone - what a concept... And that counts when you need a quick update to a site or have a question / issue. Number two reason for the five stars: they design a site for you and teach you how to use it... no monthly subscription service/fee... no hostages here... they hand you the product no strings attached and that is counter to the "residual income" business model that has become the low-standard. AE designed and produced our second-generation website in early 2015 (about a year before this review). It exceeded our expectations but more importantly: - It launched without a single hitch, and just before an important season for our organization. - AE produced the website quickly and did not get bogged-down in the details: movement is just as important as direction. - AE trained us how to use the mechanism behind the site as well as site navigation, allowing us to maintain the site / maximizing the site's potential on our own, in-house, without additional (or ongoing) maintenance expenses. Lastly Tod and Karen make an efficient team. I'll explain: Have you ever worked with a similar "partnership" only to find that one person doesn't seem to know what the other is doing? Or worse, their views/thoughts actually conflict with each-other? The design/execution team are on the same page and that is how professionals operate. Thank you for a practical / useful / modern website: SolanoAvenue,org

Karen and Tod are, hands down, the best web designers in the world…read more We struggled to find a web designers who could truly capture our passion for our business and convey that message with our web site. Karen met with us and after taking time to truly "talk with us", she wrote all our copy and with Tod designed the most beautiful and informative web site for our business. The communication was always open and she looked at all our suggestions, comments and concerns with a professional attitude and eye. I appreciate that she didn't just put things on our web site to please us but made sure all points on the web site would be useful and user friendly. Having her work with us during the entire process made for a beautiful outcome. Did I mention they work with you for several months after your site launches to make sure you and your site visitors are happy? Well, they do! Karen, it was truly a blessing to find you and thank you for helping Majestic Day Spa grow tremendously this past year. Loves it!

They offer a full range of services, all backed with a highly efficient organization for tracking customers' needs and staff who are always available, patient, and ready to assist. I needed a way to enter my own website (in Dreamweaver) and do edits and additions myself, and to be able to write and send out my monthly newsletter. The staff took me through every step and worked with me until I got the process working for myself. The owner, David Daniels, has lived in the area all his life and comes from a family that had a successful local business, so T324, even though it is a tech company, has the flavor of a neighborhood/community oriented company. Very easy to do business with.

The company I work for needed a website built so we decided to go with Birdsall Interactive because we had heard great things about them from others. I had an idea of what I wanted our site to look like, and invited Mike and Maureen from Birdsall to attend a meeting at our office. From our first meeting, I knew I was in good hands. After the long process of getting all of the content and copy together on our end, it was no time before we had a proof to approve. They were very professional and kind in the process of building our site, and we could not be happier with the final results. I highly recommend them.

They were so sweet to hire me and let me finish out my year of teaching so I would not leave my 3rd graders hanging, making them wait for me for a couple of months.

My main job was to keep the fridge filled with beer, the cupboards stocked with chips, answer the phones, work with the CPA on the accounting, and do other odd jobs as the Office Manager. I am thankful for the experiences I gained while working there but alas, it was not for the long term for me. If you need a website, check them out. They are good people.

They always were unsure of what we wanted though we had meeting after meeting discussing the same details with them, the contracts originally written were never honored, the scope of work was never understood, they tried to nickle and dime us at the end of our business relationship, and I can go on...and on.
