IMS initially went to Sund & Co. for a website and logo redesign. Their team developed several options and worked with us to develop the website and logo, while giving us a new ability to edit and update information on our end. Several years later, we still work with Sund & Co. to incorporate new features on our website and always know they will find and use the best and most efficient solution to our new ideas.

When we came to Sund + Co., we were in desperate need of a website facelift. The look was dated and the site itself was not providing visitors with the information they needed to understand our product. Mark and his team evaluated our traffic and where bounces were occurring. They recommended changes to current pages and adding new pages to lead visitors through a natural progression. Their work has made a huge difference in our traffic patterns, bounce & conversion rates. They were extremely easy to work with and the cost was more than reasonable. I look forward to working with Mark and Sund
