'Web Design for the Future'

"Out of all the decisions we made during the process of our website redesign, hiring Embolden was by far the smartest. They bring so much to the table: talented, experienced staff who actively listen to client questions, concerns, and input; technical expertise; high energy; and creative, thoughtful, cutting-edge solutions to unanticipated challenges. Add to this their great team spirit, even when meeting impossible deadlines, and you’ve got the whole package. They will manage your project to your budget and your timeline. This is web design for the future."

'Partners in Our Success'

“The Philadelphia Foundation engaged Embolden with the charge to create a powerful web presence that elegantly reflects our newly developed identity and speaks to our many constituents. Embolden's years of experience, and deep understanding of the needs of  community foundations has yielded a product that not only stands out, but provides a solid base upon which we will be able to broaden our online strategies in the years ahead. They are truly partners in our success.”

'Blown Away by the Design'

"I first learned about Embolden five years when I started a project to create a website for a new program area, the NonProfit Center, at Third Sector New England. The center is a physical space and required its own site for prospective tenants and groups wanting to book meeting space.

I interviewed a few companies and was blown away by the design capabilities of Ann-Marie and her team. We worked together again to "freshen" the site two years ago. My team has since worked together with the company on search engine optimization for the much larger TSNE website. And we are now working with them to relaunch the TSNE website.

Embolden has grown quite a bit in the time I've known the staff - a testament to the professionalism, web design and web writing skills of the staff. And, of course, the staff understands the needs of nonprofits and their website visitors - including coming in at or even under budget on projects.

My most amazing moment with the Embolden team? They decided against taking on one part of the project, some of the build out, when they determined that it would be less expensive for TSNE to do some of the work in house with their coaching!"

'A Great Friendship'

"Working with Embolden was always a collaboration and a great friendship. In the early days of our website, we would throw challenges at Embolden that no one had tried before: interactive scholarship databases, self-generating nonprofit and consultant directories, risky navigation. I think Ann-Marie and her gang enjoyed the chase to invent something new even more than we did! They still do."

“Our new DeKalb County Nonprofit Directory, developed by Embolden, allows our donors and the community in general to connect with the nonprofit organizations in our area. Bringing all of their invaluable knowledge and consulting expertise to the project, they created a customized application that perfectly matched our organization’s needs.”

“We have been delighted to find a partner that is keenly responsive to our website needs. Embolden understands its nonprofit clients. Its employees offer creative and money-wise solutions to the web design issues we and our constituents raise.”

'The Company Clearly Cares'

"Embolden embraced our project with enthusiasm and suggested several upgrades and automated features that would drastically reduce the time and energy needed to maintain the site, including an RSS feed. The company clearly cares as much about client relationships as it does its products."
