The team completely exceeded our expectations. We came to them with a tight deadline and a very specific idea. Chad, Vivien and Robert were amazing. They completely conceptualized our idea and translated it into a site that blew us away. They were organized and responsive to feedback and edits. After launch, they provided super quick tech support. We felt no kinks throughout the process. We're looking forward to working with them on larger projects in the future.

As an up-and-coming company Zen Den has helped me establish a presence on the World Wide Web. After working with another website development company I was not getting my needs met and that's when I turned to Chad and his staff at Zen Den. They help me in a very efficient and timely manner accomplish the website that I wanted. I look forward to continually growing my website with Zen Den and I highly recommend them to anyone looking to start a new website or switch website developers as I did. Top-notch service! Matched with very nice work!

We are a very small start-up with limited knowledge of web programming. We worked with several groups of designers before finding Zen Den, all of which wasted our limited time and money. The project really took off once it was in the capable hands of the Zen Den team. Their professionalism, responsiveness, and abilities were more than we could have hoped for; they brought some well-needed Zen to our project.

Since we began working with Zen Den Web Design we've learned to appreciate their superior level of customer service and their quality deliverables. I would recommend Zen Den Web Design to anyone looking for 3rd party web development with an in-house web development feel.

A 2011 goal for Goldrush Stores was to enhance and literally ‘zen’ up our image. In our search for a new web designer, we came across Zen Den Web Design and had an instant feeling the team would be a perfect match for what we wanted to do with our web-based marketing and branding. Their finished work did not disappoint. Project management, organization, communication, timeliness, and design was all top notch. Pricing was very reasonable and their continued assistance after project delivery has always been available. Want to bring Zen to your web? Hire this team now!

Zen Den, Thanks for being patient with us :) and getting our vision perfected for our website for www.hicup.com You and your very creative team of professionals always had great ideas and feedback, are so easy to work with and we are more than pleased with the result.

Zen Den Web Design handled a very specific administration application that I needed for a powerhouse client’s e-commerce website. They programmed the application to interface the DB for automation of a task that will be saving thousands of dollars for the client, shaving hours off each day. The project went very well, started immediately, took less time than expected, and cost less than expected. Normally you’d expect a developer to take the high bid, but these guys are true and honest, and did not gouge my company. The quality of the application is top-notch with proper error handling, and other things in place I hadn’t even thought to ask for, but make great sense, and did not suck up extra time. So needless to say, these guys are number one in my book.”

We interviewed a number of web designers before selecting Zen Den Web Design for development of our website and management of an internet marketing campaign. Zen Den’s grasp of our business, sensibilities for clean, crisp graphic design, competitive pricing, professionalism, and marketing expertise ranked them at the top of our list. They assimilated a large amount of technical text and graphic information into a visually coherent and easily navigable website. Working with Zen Den was and continues to be a collaborative and enjoyable experience. We give them - TWO THUMBS UP!

Zen Den designed my book and launched two web sites for me. The team helped integrate social media and SEO into the sites with professionalism and competency. They are easy to communicate with and did not bill me until the project was completely finished. I have received many compliments on the book that Zen Den designed the cover for. The websites reflect who I am and I appreciate the time they took to get to know me and my goals. I hope to maintain a long relationship with Zen Den Web Design.”

Zen Den Web Design transformed a simple “homemade” website into a clear professional and notable business identity, had an intuitive ability to translate David’s Tours ideas, concepts and content into a well-organized product, and also lay the groundwork for future infrastructure development for our upcoming SEO efforts and future use of the site as an e-commerce venue. Our launch was less than a month ago, and so far many potential customers have commented on the elegant design and ease of navigation of the new website. We look forward to future collaboration with Zen Den Web Design, as our website needs continue to evolve. There is plenty of design talent out there but it was truly a pleasure to interact with Chad’s innovative, creative, helpful, patient, flexible and responsive approach. We made it happen together, many thanks.”

If you are looking for a knowledgeable business to design your webpage, then I recommend Zen Den Web Design. They are versed in video uploads and surely will work the best they can with you in seeing your business through. One of the qualities that we have appreciated from Zen Den, is their ability to get back to you in a timely manner should you have any concerns. We really do appreciate this, especially in an overworked and demanding field such as web design. We thank you Zen Den and hope you continue to take on not-for-profit projects that contribute to social justice causes in our world. Bravo!”

Timely. Responsive. Educational.
Programmers can be difficult to deal with at times. I found Zen Den to be patient, efficient and instructive. Our dealings with Zen Den were very pleasant. We look forward to having the team handle our Internet marketing campaign in the near future. Our final product is just what we had envisioned.
