What Our Clients Say
Michael Rose

As the owner of a small business startup, I was looking for a reasonably priced solution to help me build my website. I purchased the SmartBug Performance template pack, and I have to say that I was very impressed. I found there to be any excellent array of webpages from which I was able to build an entirely comprehensive and functional website. The few times I needed support, HubSpot was quite friendly and supportive. I am very grateful for their product and the quality of service I have received.”

Working with the SmartBug team has been truly enjoyable. Their level of professionalism and adaptability to meet our needs in impressive. Their intuitiveness in bringing our corporate voice to life in the content development and ideas to differentiate A-WIN Insurance from our competitors is remarkable. Only six weeks into our new website launch and we are already hitting our one-year targets in lead generation and marketing results. We have really appreciated their flexibility in program and support design to meet our needs. Great team.”

Huge thanks to Ryan, Ben, and the entire SmartBug team. A more responsive, supportive, and friendly partner you will not find. We did our homework before choosing SmartBug and can say they're absolutely competitive in terms of pricing (more than competitive), but without comparison in terms of ease of working with. We rebuilt our website, choosing to go with their marketplace templates. We then retained them to semi-customize. We were just starting to drink the HubSpot Kool-Aid and learning inbound ... and the SmartBug team was there riding shotgun with us the whole way, coaching us on everything from designing CTAs to blogging best practices. Everyone there was extremely responsive to our requests, their work quality is high, and they always over-deliver. We will definitely retain them for future work, I have no doubt. Thanks again, SmartBug!”

I had a simple need to customize email templates based on some existing templates I found in the HubSpot marketplace. However, finding the right partner wasn't so easy, as most companies I've reached out to wanted to charge me thousands of dollars, which I thought was unacceptable. SmartBug was not only very reasonable, but also extremely efficient and delivered exactly what I needed without forcing me into committing to some multi-year contracts and promising large revenues for many years ahead. However, because my experience was smooth and extremely positive, I'd definitely reach out to them again for future work.”
