As a new business owner, figuring out how to get eyes on my company online while there is so much competition was a major hurdle. I've had plenty of other marketing companies reach out with aggressive sales pitches and bold claims that felt more like pressure than help. I found The Final Code when searching for companies to help in my area and this company is the complete opposite from what I've been encountering. They are incredibly easy to work with and are genuinely focused on getting my image out there. It's refreshing to work with a team that wants to delivers results without the pushy tactics. I'm looking forward to a long partnership with them! read more

I have had an association with Larry and the Final Code for a couple of years now. They have supported my mentoring clients with digital marketing services with great success. They are very creative and keep abreast of the latest technological changes and the data available for measurement. The data driven approach helps overall performance with search results as well as customer conversions and sales info. In addition their understanding of business process and productivity pays off. I would rate the company at 10 stars plus!!! Dan Frederickson Ventura, CA read more

My company has partnered with the team at The Final Code for website design and support for a number of years. Our business has greatly evolved over the past two years which has created a number of headaches. But throughout it all, The Final Code has been gracious, professional, and a solid rock of support, especially Larry. I highly recommend the team at The Final Code for digital marketing and website development. read more

Working with Larry, Josh and the rest of The Final Code team has been an excellent experience! When Macy Homes decided to completely revamp our website from what we had "put up with" for several years, which by-the-way was less than user friendly; we researched for a more professional web development company and that is when we had the good fortune to meet the crew at The Final Code. The team at The Final Code was able to take our old website content and assist in rebuilding it to a website that we are not only very proud of but that also receives many customer compliments not only for the design of the site but also for the content and site visitor links. The Final Code was able to take our previous cumbersome website and complete all of the work and have us up and running smoothly within weeks! The Final Code has exceeded our expectations, they are very professional and the turnaround times are quick and done correctly the first time. Larry is very knowledgeable about building the best website to attract the most traffic for our particular industry. The best part of how the website was built is that we can maintain it in-house and Larry is there to teach us and offer guidance with anything we need. Macy Homes highly recommend The Final Code for all your website needs. read more

Wow. What a wealth of knowledge and service! In just my few first conversations with Larry I am so impressed with how he really listens to what I am looking for in my website and has given me multiple different viewpoints to make my site as google friendly as possible. To have the functionality be just as important as the design. Because I am a photographer my thoughts are always on the images, and I am so grateful to have The Final Code on my team to making sure I am not just a holding space online, but a resource and searchable site to drive business my way. read more

Do not do business with them!!! We wanted a website created. Gave them everything we had and showed them a few other sights of what we liked and hoped to get something similar. They said it would be completed in a couple weeks. After about two months they said it was finished. I look at the website and some of our content is not on the site and it was very very very plain. I could have created that on a free site. I let them know about what needs to be added and we want more creativity. After the meeting they say that they ran out of time and it will cost us more money to do the changes and updates that we need. We didn't get the things in the website that we talked about in the first place!!!! They were very slow and communication was bad between staff. I did not want to work with them and found another place that was cheaper and got everything done and what I wanted in 2 weeks compared to months and months with The Final Code. After months of no communication with them which is fine because I moved on I receive and email saying the domain names would be $80 extra dollars. I emailed them back and said why would I want to purchase the domain when I spent so much money and never got a completed website. I stopped communicating with them because I already moved on to a different company that did a great job on my website. It was a waste of time and money and not a great experience as they were not understanding what needed to go on the website. read more

I love supporting local businesses. So it saddens me to write this review. I reached out to The Final Code for help with SEO and content/blog posts. I've left several messages but no one called me until I spoke with Larry and was told that someone was going to call me back. I heard back from James and my husband and I were invited in their office to talk about their services. James wasn't able to give us even an estimate cost for their service even after specifically telling him exactly what we need, down to the number of blog posts we need content for. Instead he offered to give us a sample of his writing. After which, I e-mailed him all the information he needed. Two weeks later and several phone calls and email in between, all I kept hearing from him is that he is "swamped with work" and hasn't gotten around to what he told us he would do. He told me last Friday to call him on Monday to remind him (who does this?), which I did. I just got off the phone with him and he told me that his boss just gave him a ton of work and he doesn't know when he will have the time for us. I definitely do NOT recommend this company. read more

Larry and his team have a great thing going! Our company has been doing business with the Final Code for 4 years. They designed our creative and attractive website. They trained our office in the most efficient way to market our company by posting and updating to stay active on the internet. Their team is extremely friendly, returns calls immediately and completes requested tasks quickly and efficiently. Because of our combined efforts, our phone rings substantially more for requested bids. Thanks Final Code! read more

I've been using The Final Code for the last few years and have found that Larry and the crew to be both supportive and knowledgable. I appreciate the 1-to-1 support and their willingness to come to my "rescue," time and time again. In the new world of social media and internet advertising The Final Code know its stuff and has helped me stay on my game both through website design and marketing!!! Great deals, greater support and the greatest of Web Design businesses!!! The Final Code.... YES! read more

I STRONGLY URGE CAUTION IN DOING BUSINESS WITH THE FINAL CODE. Larry, Carlo, and company are eager to get your business and work hard at getting to the contract stage. What they offer is website development on a proprietary platform (their own "secret" code, which can be added to, tweaked, or changed only by them) they call Total Control. If you have a simple website that they create from the ground up, you're likely to be okay. If you have a complex, multi-page site with e-commerce and lots of bells and whistles, be very careful. If you're considering asking them to take an existing, multi-dimensional, e-commerce site and replicate it on their platform, please re-consider. They will sell you on Total Control as having no bugs, no problems, no shortcomings because it is theirs alone, unlike open-source web platforms like Joomla, Wordpress, Drupal,, etc, which have been created by thousands of developers. They'll tell you those thousands of developers have created very messy, problem-filled code and that theirs is very clean. What they won't tell you is that Total Control is coded by ONE guy named Ken who lives in THAILAND, yes, THAILAND. You'll never meet or talk to Ken. And if Ken hasn't created a function you need yet, get in line, because Ken will have to create it on his own timetable before it will be available to you, if ever. And even if Ken does eventually build the module you need, it make not work properly. You won't be able to go to another web developer for help because Total Control is proprietary and only Ken can alter it. You're stuck. If you complain about the fact that your project is not completed, about the poor performance of a module, about anything for which The Final Code is responsible, Larry will go ballistic and blame you for changing your mind, for adding to the scope of work, for getting in the way, for being difficult to work with, etc, but what he and Ken will never do is take responsibility for a platform that is proprietary, yes, but which is also of limited functionality at best. I have over a year of personal experience with The Final Code and I'm grateful that my association with the company is over at last. It was a very unpleasant year because the company simply wasn't up the job it contracted to do. It's platform isn't a big-boy platform yet and appears unlikely ever to be one. I'm aware that the company has been taken to court at least twice since the first of the year (just two and a half months) and perhaps numerous other clients have had similar issues over the years. That just doesn't happen to web developers who can create what they promise to create and get the job done. And how did this all turn out for us? We finally gave up on The Final Code, went to another web developer with precisely the same request to replicate a big, complex, e-commerce site. Working virtually alone, this Bay Area developer accomplished in 10 weeks what The Final Code team couldn't in 9 months. We had no mis-communication, no confrontations, no excuses, no delays. Everything went beautifully. Larry ultimately accused the Bay Area developer of "stealing" Final Code's work, which was ridiculous on its face, because, remember, Final Code's "Total Control" platform is proprietary and no one outside the company can access the code's innards. It was a fitting final moment for us with The Final Code: the very feature Larry touted so proudly in the beginning was one he claimed didn't exist when he made his theft claim to the court. Why risk a similar experience? Just don't go there, friends. read more

I was referred to The Final Code, and Larry specifically some time ago as a resource for revamping my company website. We are a small bookkeeping/accounting services firm. I originally created the website by myself and it was pretty bad. A good friend offered to redo the site, as he is a graphic specialist and does website development. He didn't charge much, and, unfortunately, I got my money's worth... not much. I contacted Larry, who spent a god-awful amount of time with me, outlining what I had, and what I needed, at no charge. I appreciated his effort and time, and decided to a complete redo, along with optimizing for search engines, etc., and have been very happy with the results. I've been taught how to upload new blogs, make small edit updates, and when I need them to do what I am unable to, the staff take great care of me and my needs. This was a winning decision, and I hope they feel the same having me as a client and a big fan of theirs. I never hesitate to refer them. You should know I am extremely careful in making referrals. read more

Our business has been with The Final Code for several years and we've never had anything but 5 star service from them. Larry and his team have dealt with any problems, upgrades and sundry situations quickly and professionally and at a reasonable cost to us. We have two websites hosted with them and recommend them very highly. read more

We've got a big project and wanted to keep it local. Nice office, spent about 2 hours working out ideas for our web presence, and growth. They made lots of promises of their expertise-- from guys who claim to "know it all about coding", and they referred to "we" as in the wanted to be involved in our project and which made us feel they might be the right "local" source to grow with our project. Then when we simply tried to set up another appointment, to review what designs they had come up with based on our needs, ZERO response, I mean none, to emails, or phone calls that went direct to an answering service. They painted a pretty picture, presented themselves as worthy, but didn't follow through with even "sorry we don't want the project" or "don't have time". Poorest form of "doing business". Felt a lot like the "we're too good for you" run-around from guys who think very highly of themselves, but in the end have no follow through. If you like this kind of treatment, they're perfect. Otherwise in the normal world it's a complete fail and was an utter waste of time. read more

I never write negative reviews because I'm a business owner and understand that they can be distorted, but I wanted to share my experience so that others wouldn't become stressed and frustrated like me. Five years ago I was unhappy with both the design and SEO of our old website that the Final Code built for my dad. Larry intervened and warned me against trying another SEO company because he said that their coding was poor; despite my discontent with their work so far, I opted to stay with them to give them a second chance. Unfortunately, I soon found out that their communication was really poor, which is something I've read others say about them on Yelp. There were whole weeks that would pass where I would email them and hear no reply, which caused a lot of needless stress and anxiety because my website is a big source of business for my family and I needed it up as soon as possible. The people I dealt with were pleasant enough, they just didn't reply in a timely manner or explain what was taking so long. As a token of my gratitude for the work they put in on my website, I gave the designer a $100 credit card, which he never even acknowledged receiving, much less thanking me. I kindly explained to Larry that I was very stressed by the poor communication and how long the whole process took (several months longer than I asked), and he told me what I've read that he tells other customers - "There are 2 sides to every story." The problem is that Larry never demonstrated any interest in my side of the story. A few months later, my customers notified me that something was wrong with the mobile version of the website and I asked Larry if he could change it - it was a small thing that I needed fixed (rearranging a couple icons). He rudely laughed and said, "No one's going to notice that" - except that my customers noticed it, which is why I asked in the first place. I want to say that I have nothing personal against Larry or anyone at the Final Code; they seem like decent people, they just don't know how to communicate. Reading the negative reviews on Yelp confirmed this poor communication--apparently a former customer sued them, yikes--so I should have known better. I spoke with Larry about my discontent, but in ignoring me and failing to even pretend to care, he left me with no choice but to leave this review. P.S. I would take these Google reviews with a grain of salt, since a couple years ago the Final Code offered me some kind of discount for reviewing them on social media; I never heard back from them about that incentive (lol), so I assume they knew I would leave a negative review and cherry-picked customers from whom they expected positive responses.

Praise all around. Larry Murphy and his assistant Cody took time out of their busy day to help an internet idiot -- that be moi -- figure out how to set up and use my Go daddy website. A normal person could probably have done that himself, but having never done so, the confusion was overwhelming. Thanks to TFC for helping straighten me out! read more

This company saved my sanity! I was looking for a company that allowed me to have the freedom to do what I needed/wanted to do with my website and also offer excellent customer service. I struck gold! The Final Code team is super supportive. They never leave me hanging if I have questions or need assistance. Their software allows me complete control of our site. It has made having a website fun again! I would highly recommend them! read more

Our experience spent over the past three years as a customer of The Final Code has been great! Larry and everyone else involved with our website design, content generation, adword campaign, etc. have been really genuine and terrific to work with! Schedules were set initially with each of our topics and were hit as promised. Regarding the performance of the site... Our organic web listings have increased continuously due to the key recommendations and suggestions made by The Final Code. These guys really DO want your website to succeed and for their customers to see an increase web generated leads!!!! I couldn't be happier with their performance and I would strongly recommend anyone to have a consultation with The Final Code and see for themselves the knowledge they bring to their customers. read more

Larry at the Final Code was a great help to us with our SEO questions and he told us exactly what we need to do in order to increase our search engine ranking. We appreciate Larry's expertise and help with our website. read more

You do NOT want to do business with this company for MANY reasons. We too were promised many things with our web site plan that clearly became figments of our imagination. This company is quite clever in that they will verbally present what they can do but conveniently their contract doesn't support their verbal representations. We stopped the work early on when it became clear they were all talk and no action. Unfortunately we learned a hard lesson when we did, in fact, sue them and lost our deposit because of their "fabricated" time sheet. The judge had no clue about the intricacies of web site design and was easily misled about what they did and did not do. Good news is we STOPPED work before we had paid their full fee. During the lawsuit we even learned they were not a legitimate business in Ventura and did not even have a valid business license. There are lots of reputable local web design companies. This is not one if them and any money you give them is like throwing it down the toilet. Your web site can only be used with them ...a bad deal anyway you look at it. read more

The guys at Final Code are very helpful. Larry, Carlo and the staff are knowledgeable and thorough. They helped my company with search engine optimization. They are focused on helping us learn how to market our business more efficiently online. This is very valuable to our company. They offer services that we can afford and that will make a difference with driving more of our target market to our website. We are going to go back. I will recommend this company to my friends and business associates. This company really cares about our business marketing needs and devote quality time helping us. Melissa read more

Our company The Wash Wizards has been working with the Final Code for the last few years and they have done a great job for us. They built a separate stand alone website for us which has performed well in the local markets we are active in. Their customer service has been very attentive and there have been no problems at all with their service. Highly recommended. read more

One word! Larry. He has been running our website for sometime now and has been very helpful with the questions I've had! Very smart, knows his stuff. Our website has performed very well... We will continue to do business with this company! read more

A BIG thank you to Larry, Carlo, James and Jeremiah at The Final Code! It's been a very positive and fun experience for me. I love my "new" site. I am thrilled to have been able to keep the basic design, but to now have the site updated with smooth navigation and state-of-the-art web technology. I formerly had no control over my site, but now I am able to make instant changes whenever I desire. And now I have a video! I have wanted one for years and had given up on it ever happening. I had such a pleasant experience making the video with Carlo and also being trained by him in how to use my site. He is a consummate teacher! Everyone at The Final Code is extremely creative and knowledgeable about the latest developments in the internet field. You are wonderful to work with and have gone out of your way to be responsive to my needs and available to train me in the very easy use of your site software. Thanks so very much, Nomi Wagner www.nomiwagner.com read more

The Final Code saved my business. I hired a local SEO company to get my website to the front page of google. They said it would be $1500, and getting to the front page would be no problem. Six months later the company shared their results and I was on the sixth page for multiple key words. It was a complete disaster. Non refundable. In a final effort I came to Larry. In less than three months I had a new and improved website, I was on the top of google for all my desired keywords, and they improved my entire system in ways I didn't even know existed. My company is now completely self sustaining and profitable all thanks to their efforts. I literally owe them my livelihood. read more

The Final Code completely re-did my website & did a fantastic job! Now they are teaching me how to keep it up to date myself! Great group to work with! :) read more

I started my business about 6 months ago and couldn't get my key words anywhere in search engines after burning through a few hundred dollars trying google adwords with no results I went to the Final Code. Now I am on page one or two of every category I am attempting and moving up all of they time. Larry and his crew teach you what you need to maintain a competitive web site that brings results. They are fun to work with. You could spend thousands on an outside company to optimize your website of a fraction of that with Final Code and learn how to do it yourself. Highly recommend them read more

Larry and the Final Code do great work. They are particularly skilled at distilling complex issues into accessible messages. They were professional, courteous and met our very aggressive schedule. The always struck the right balance between providing helpful creative suggestions and preserving our original vision and intent. Additionally the Final Code team went above and beyond often providing services to complement our project. In short I would highly recommend the Final Code. read more
