Reviews of Digital Minerva (Website Designer)

Andy Perrine

Harrisonburg Downtown Renaissance partnered with Digital Minerva to develop an eCommerce solution to serve as a raffle sales platform. We're in our third year of a very successful fundraiser - Friendly City Fortune - that was raising a lot of money, but totally swamping staff because of so much complex and individualized back end fulfillment. After flipping the switch on ticket sales, we sold 650 in the first 24 hours, and the phone barely rang at all because Digital Minerva's custom site smoothly handled the sales. Great job.

I've worked with James and Digital Minerva on a couple different projects. From building and hosting custom sites to digital marketing and search engine optimization, their work has increased sales (and reduced stress!) James also has a way of distilling tech-y jargon into a digestible form--so even a layperson like myself understands the how and the why of the project design.

Digital Minerva has been A-MA-ZING. They came in and saved our team countless hours of WordPress migration (definitely not my cup of tea), website design, and building our search engine optimization pretty much from the ground up. The whole team is quick and efficient, and critical in launching MBU's new brand through digital marketing. So easy to work with, and the Batman gifs certainly don't hurt.

I work for a local Managed Service Provider. One of our customers is a sales-driven organization and they have an online website providing a catalog of the services and products they provide. The website provides a form by which visitors can submit inquires about potential sales opportunities that our customer can then follow up on. We recently migrated their website from a different hosting platform onto Digital Minerva's hosting platform. Prior to this migration, the web submissions had been minimal and it had appeared as if people were not visiting their site very often nor expressing interesting in what they were seeing. After the migration, the results have been exceptional and immediately positive. Not only are the webpage loading times far faster than before, they have also seen a spike in incoming inquiries; inquiries that are leading to real sales opportunities and transactions. Digital Minerva's approach to both digital marketing and Search Engine Optimization has made it clear that, previously, the webpage just was not being found by the people interested in our customers' service and that, now, it is. A transition that was originally expected to be seamless to the customer has turned out to be visible to them in all the right ways. A bit thanks to James and the team for affecting such a positive transition!

I highly recommend working with Digital Minerva for any digital marketing, WordPress, hosting, eCommerce, or search engine optimization needs you might have. He has done all of this and created a completely custom site for our organization. When we couldn't find what we needed, his team created a custom raffle sales platform that does everything we asked for, is incredibly user friendly and the customer service is outstanding. Thank you Digital Minerva for a making a very daunting project enjoyable and stress free.

We had a wonderful experience working with James and the Digital Minerva web development team. Redesigning and building a website can be a formidable project, but James and his team worked very hard to ensure every step of the process was organized and thorough, which resulted in a stress free experience on our end. When the project began, we were not able to clearly articulate what we wanted, but we did have a good idea of what we didn’t want. James ran with it. He quickly made it a priority to learn about what we value, our business, as well as our customers to ensure the end result was a design that was aesthetic and functional. They were professional yet personal, attentive, and took the time to explain web designer jargon like “SEO” and even provided onsite training and notes that would enable us to make edits on our own. We would highly recommend them to anyone with the desire to improve their online presence.

James and the Digital Minerva team manage the online presence of our 16 restaurant locations across the country. Recently they redesigned our WordPress website which needed a refresh as we had grown as an organization, and it was no longer meeting our customer's needs. They handled this process start to finish and provided great communication and updates along the way. The new website looks great! They also host and keep the site up to date so it's totally hands-off for us. The services that they provide are incredibly diverse, from photography of our many events, videography to tell the story of our business, website design, website development, search engine optimization, local search, virtual 360 tours, along with digital advertising on Facebook and Google Ads. Each time we select a new location, we can rest assured that they will take care of all of the necessary online actions in the runup to opening and then promoting the location going forward. Can’t recommend Digital Minerva enough! These guys are awesome!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Digital Minerva to design a new website for Mather Architects. We needed something that reflected who we are as a firm. We were so pleased with the entire process. The team at Digital Minerva met with us several times to understand our needs and wants and provided exatly what we were wanted. We have control over our website to add projects as we complete them. I would recommend to anyone who is in need of web development, SEO, design or any of the services they offer, to talk with Digital Minerva. Great to work with and people we will refer to as friends as well! Thank you so much!

John Mather

We were delighted with the services provided by Digital Minerva as our Web Developer . James and his team took the time to really get to know us so that they could design a site for us that truly reflects who we are and what we value. They also worked very hard on SEO so that our new site is highly visible to those we want to reach. I am happy to now call them our trusted partners and friends - a quality that we seek to attain with our clients, as well!

We honestly couldn't conduct our fundamental business without Digital Minerva. I mostly appreciate their quick, white glove service and endless patience with our non-techies. We rely on them for a wide range of services from website design/development and UX, to digital marketing and advertising, to strategic advancement of our web properties through SEO, ADA compliance and WordPress migrations. When you're all dried out on a wintry day and all you want is some chapstick, James is da balm.

We used both James Carter web and Digital Minerva for web development and web design for our business and were very pleased with the service James provided. He listened to our needs and developed an individualized and responsive website that fit our company's needs. The very few times we ran into technical difficulties James provided excellent customer service by promptly responding to our questions and resolving our problems in a timely manner. If your business is looking to improve your digital marketing I highly recommend Digital Minerva.

I cannot recommend the services of Digital Minerva enough. I work for Harrisonburg Downtown Renaissance, where Digital Minerva has been assisting us with a website migration, plugins/additions for our custom Wordpress site, and search engine optimization - as well as providing hosting, digital marketing, search engine marketing, and world-class customer service and support. Their masterpiece so far has been a completely custom-built raffle sales platform and ecommerce microsite for our annual fundraising raffle, Friendly City Fortune. This platform's been live for less than a week and has already saved us tens, if not hundreds, of hours of work, in addition to being the one of the slickest, most user-friendly sales platforms I've ever worked with. Having worked in the tech industry in Northern Virginia for nearly a decade, I've worked with a lot of firms who provide these same sorts of services- and I can assure you that Digital Minerva is best company I've ever worked with, hands down. James and team are extraordinarily talented, hard working individuals who are all super friendly and fun to spend time with as well. I cannot recommend Digital Minerva enough, and look forward to working with them for years to come!
