Finding a web developer is a daunting task. The field is littered with con artists whose abilities…read morebegin and end with talking a good game. Having learned that lesson the hard way multiple times, I'm happy to report that Holy Cow Online Marketing represents the experience of working with a developer exactly as I'd always imagined it to be. I brought a complex, custom WordPress concept to them. After meticulously examining my requirements, Larry Daniele, the company's owner and lead developer, provided a detailed estimate, which obviously reflected a careful reading of my needs. After we agreed to work together, Larry and his team maintained that level of care that was exhibited at the outset throughout the entire development schedule. Larry is both an expert programmer and skilled communicator. My site requires me to actively engage in its updates, and Larry walked me through the complexities of hand-on involvement. He seemed to know exactly how much to teach at any given time and what to hold back until further understanding on my end was demonstrated. Though I look back in amazement at some of the things I can now do with no previous computer programming experience, at no point during the learning curve did I feel overwhelmed or anxious. Of course, the really hard stuff remains Larry's domain. He combines expert problem solving with imagination and a can-do attitude. Any ideas I had along the way to improve the site prior to its launch were greeted with maximum attention. Never once did I have to repeat my wishes. To get that degree of personal attention was invaluable both to realizing my vision and keeping my confidence high. If you have a modest ambition for a web site, chances are good that Holy Cow Online Marketing can have it up and running within a few weeks. If you have a grander design in mind, you can be sure your site will not languish. My experience has shown that Larry doesn't take on more than he can handle at any given time. I can't recall a single time where I wondered, "what's going on with the site?" You can expect steady progress from beginning to end and if you provide a realistic deadline, a huge effort to meet it dead on time -- which he accomplished with my site www.CTRiverGolf.com. Prior to working with Holy Cow Online Marketing, I'd sunk substantial funds into four separate developers, all of whom proved unable to get my site even halfway completed before employing stalling tactics that convinced me they were hucksters happy to pick up a big deposit without the intention or ability of finishing the task. True professionals are very hard to find in this industry. I feel very lucky to have finally found one in HCOM -- even if it did take five tries.

I run a non-profit organization in Western Massachusetts that approached Gravity Switch to re-brand…read moreour organization with a new look and feel, create new designs for our existing advertising materials, and assist us in designing a number of new materials we have been thinking about creating. Even though we didn't really go into money, we were talking about a a very large project that I knew would cost around $30,000 to $50,000 when all was said and done. So, when I did finally get in touch with someone from this organization after days of playing phone tag, not on my part by the way, I was afforded about a 12 minute screening call which ended in them emailing me the next day or day after letting me know we could not afford their services. They were kind enough to provide us with the names of other firms that we could afford and then, basically, wrote us off. In the 30 years I have been working I have never encountered an organization that turned clients down so quickly and with so little information. I was so amazed at what took place that I had to revisit their website to make sure I had not missed something. When I first researched Gravity Switch the feeling I was left with, and the reason for the initial contact, was that they were a progressive, creative organization with a unique breadth of expertise that could complete our project with a fresh creativity we felt was lacking in some of the other firms we had looked at. What I found in looking at the website again is just that kind of message. However, it seems that is just no the case. They tout how excited they are to work with new clients and how they look at all projects, no matter the size, with the same excitement. Well, that is not so true as we found out. I guess if you are going to contact Gravity Switch I would make sure you have at least $30,000 to start with as in their email they said that is their starting figure. If you want work done that costs less than that, please look elsewhere! I guess the real problem I have with an organization like this is I am not sure where they got their information in the first place. I know I had provided our website address for them and while it is clear we are a small organization from our website, is that enough to make a decision that we can't afford their services? For a firm that tries so hard to portray themselves as so progressive and accepting, no matter what the size of project, it seems they are wealthy enough to pick and choose, which is perfectly fine but why go out of your way to say the exact opposite on your web site then? Further, how they even come to that decision, that you can't afford them, also seems to be extremely flawed. I can't speak to their work as I never got that far. They do say they work with non-profit organizations but their list of clients is overwhelmingly white-run, private, for-profit companies. I don't think I saw one non-profit in their list of clients actually now that I think of it. So while I am not writing this review to stop anyone from contacting them, I am writing it to avoid anyone's time being wasted. I do have to admit that even though we would have met their financial criteria they decided we would not have so, really, I guess my review is to let people know money is the most important issue to Gravity Switch and to even just get through the door make sure you tell them that they will make at least $30,000 off you prior to saying anything else because the rest of it really doesn't seem to matter.
