They designed and developed a content management system (CMS) for us using Umbraco, a CMS on the dot.net platform. When we first engaged HyperArts, there was only a single Department of Surgery website, a collage of disconnected individual pages. Our goal was to replace this with a vibrant web presence, user-friendly interface, professional look and feel, with well-organized and compelling content. We feel we have developed an organic system for expanding content over the web, one that is easily customizable, upgradeable, highly extensible, and scalable. We have built over 50 websites, starting with our flagship site http://surgery.ucsf.edu/ . A number of our large departments at UCSF have also expressed interest to me in using HyperArts, based on what they did our department. HyperArts has developed numerous applications for our sites, many mission-critical, including: 1. Request an Appointment - http://top.ucsf.edu/patient-center/request-an-appointment.aspx that has generated over 2,000 appointments in a 1 1/2 years. 2. A database to track all aspects of the appointments including service levels and doctor referrals. 3. A rich faculty biography - http://transplant.surgery.ucsf.edu/faculty/transplant-surgeons/peter-g-stock,-md,-phd.aspx 4. A system for presenting Conditions & Procedures our surgeons. http://transplant.surgery.ucsf.edu/conditions--procedures/hepatocellular-carcinoma-(liver-cancer).aspx 5. A centralized news feed that spans all of our sites: http://transplant.surgery.ucsf.edu/news--events.aspx In short, HyperArts has done an outstanding job in fulfilling our online development needs and giving us a great web presence.

CROOKS - DO NOT HIRE! Erik Dolqueist of 20/20 visual is unethical and has terrible business…read morepractices. He took my money and left me with a website that crashed within 2 weeks of getting it going and thereafter could not be fixed. Erik said he would try to fix it, then went dark on me for more than a month with no follow up, explanation for not getting back to me, or update on timing for the repairs. Desperate, I tried to have another web designer get the site up and running, but they said there were too many internal errors to fix the site so I was forced to start from scratch. I tried to get my money refunded. They refused and said it wasn't their fault. Well, Erik was the only one who worked on the site. I will be suing him to get my money back as others have done. Don't make the same mistake I did - stay away from this business.

I have to lower my review of 20/20 (20/Twenty) Visual today (10/23/18) from two stars to one star…read moreafter I received an email from 20/20 Visual "principal" (and likely only employee) Erik Dolquist in which he physically threatened me solely due to the wording of my below (formerly 2 Star) Yelp review of him and his company 20/20 Visual. As a result of Erik's bizarre email threats I was forced to file a police report with the Alameda Police Department. Based on Erik's recent threatening conduct, I strongly recommend everyone against doing business with Erik and 20/20 Visual. A very sad state of affairs. You are welcome to message me through Yelp if you need additional information, or the police report number. My unedited Yelp review narrative that apparently enraged Erik: Our company recently used 20/20 Visual to re-do and refresh our corporate web-site. In large part we chose 20/20 Visual due to their 12 Five Star Yelp Reviews. We wanted new and hip and interesting, and what we got was updated variant of our current site, and lots of frustration getting the new site to work properly. It took 3x longer than promised, and there were many headaches along the way. Company owner Erik Dolquist- who appears to currently be the whole 20/20 Visual company - is a very pleasant guy, but not at all good at taking notes during meetings (OK, he never took notes) or following up on many of his promises in a timely manner. Only after many, many phone calls, texts and emails with Erik were we finally able to get a refreshed web-site that worked even as well as our original site. Erik may be an honest guy, and he eventually got the new site to work properly, but it was a very painful process to get there. Before choosing 20/20 Visual as your web design company, recognize that all their other Yelp 5 Star Reviews were from 2010 - 2013. I don't believe the 20/20 Visual company of 2018 is the same company as it was in 2013. Clearly there is a gap of 5 years in their Yelp reviews, and new customers should take that big time gap and staff changes during those years into account when choosing a web-design company. Recommend that potential clients obtain recent verifiable client references before hiring 20/20 Visual.

If you're not satisfied with your website and are looking for a user friendly, savvy tech company…read morefor a reasonable price, then I highly recommend T324 on Solano Avenue in Albany. 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.

Kristin set up a phone appointment with me right away and gave me very helpful input over the phone. We have a very small business and she suggested that we consider the DIY Website Weekend. I couldn't be happier that I decided to do just that. For a fraction of what we would have paid a designer we got a website that wildly exceeded every expectation and hope I had. Not only that, I am now fully educated and empowered to continue to maintain all aspects of my own website without needing to rely on a third party. Kristin and the teaching assistants did an amazing job with running this class. I came in very prepared with my content, thanks to Kristin's great advice and prep worksheets. And over the course of one weekend my website was nearly ready to launch. Within 48 hours of leaving the class on Sunday, after I made some more tweaks and edits from home, my website was live. And we immediately saw an uptick in contacts! The team leading this class had expertise in all aspects of the website- from coding to appearance. They had helpful suggestions and my site looks more polished and is easier to navigate than when we paid a professional 5 times as much (and spent 6 months going back and forth before launch) in 2014. And everyone at Mighty Minnow was a delight to meet and work with. Plus their offices are lovely and inviting. I would recommend this course to ANYONE in need of a website for personal, small business or non-profit reasons. Could not be happier with the results!!!

I get complimented all the time on my visual presentation, but more than just that the very act of going through Artsy Geek's brand and self exploration process was integral to my developing a strong business brand that's separate from but true to my personal self. I'm a realtor and I actually loathe self-marketing, so I wanted to work with Jen, Michael, and Becca to find a way to create a distinct professional brand that communicates who I am and what I offer without losing my entire life to what really should be a job with boundaries. Artsy Geek absolutely nailed it; they distilled everything I am and want to be professionally into a handful of core assets, and it legitimately changed how I approach my business. Worth every hour and dollar, they're so good at really hearing you and translating what you say into "product," and they're funny and smart and caring and generally great people to boot. Thank you so much for everything, I'll be back if and when I'm ready for new collateral or if I ever go in a new direction brand-wise!

I've had eye-catching sidewalk and building signs made, luxe door hangers and postcards, clean and crisp print collateral, and outstanding social media graphics that all elevate my studio brand and reflect what my business represents. There's something that goes deeper for me than just having good-looking branding. Every time I see the work that Artsy Geek has done for me, it fills me with a sense of pride in my business and hope for its growth. I feel so confident when I'm able to leverage images that spark and communicate what I love most about my business. Having that attitude helps me stay in the mindset I need to be in as a small business owner.

We put down a deposit and chose a designer to create a logo for us. All we got was public domain clip-art. We never approved anything, and when we tried to cancel the whole thing we were told that we cannot cancel - that it was up to the designer to do that. We are basically being told that we HAVE to accept their crappy work. This is what we were told: "You have until Monday, February 22, 2021 to request additional changes otherwise the project will complete automatically and any secured payments will be released to the designer." We NEVER approved any designs. This is an elaborate scam. Fortunately we saw that early on and filed a dispute with our credit card company. Trying to deal with the staff at 99designs.com is a waste of time. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT under any circumstances hire this company. It is a complete scam. Another thing - when we go to their site, our PC-Matic throws a huge error alerting us to malware or something else nefarious on their site.
