Reviews of Goat (Website Designer)

Angela Watson

One of the trickiest aspects of hiring the right web developer is finding someone who cares as much about the success of your project as you do. The team at GoatSocial clearly love their work and are truly invested in the outcome: they really went above and beyond in getting to know me and my readers/customers. I hired GoatSocial to do the branding work and create a membership site for me, and the level of thought and support that went into it was outstanding. I never felt alone during my launch. Terence was always trying to anticipate how we could streamline things and make the user experience better. It was such a great experience that I'm now having GoatSocial rebrand my main website and create a custom Wordpress theme for it. I've gotten the mock-ups back already and they are AMAZING. But the best part is knowing that the launch is not going to be a nightmare where things break and I have to wait weeks for anyone to get back to me on it (been there, done that.) The GoatSocial team just GETS IT and GETS ME. They had a better vision for my brand and site than I did, and they made it happen. I'll be using them for every project from now on.

Integrative Naturopathic Medical Centre

Our Centre was in dire need of a new website! Our old site was pretty however it was not serving our patients or practitioners in the best way it could. It was important that our new site represent our brand, was intuitive, comprehensive, and easily managed in house. Terence from Goatsocial came up with a plan and we loved it. The process was simple, one large brainstorming session where our key objectives were outlined and BOOM, we had a mainframe to build upon. We were heard! Our new site is everything we need, has capacity for much more, and we love it!. We have decided to continue our relationship with Goatsocial as we see them expand into new arenas....thank you!

I had the pleasure of working closely with Terence on the launch of my business site and rebrand of my blog. While we had a very tight deadline, Terence was able to pull out all of the stops and make it happen! I am very happy with my experience at Goatsocial and am looking forward to our next project.

Wow. Where do I begin? When we reached out to Goatsocial, we had very specific requirements that most agencies would have turned away on. Not Goatsocial. They took it head on, and built our startup a website we can be proud of. The best part about it? They took care of everything we needed done. We didn't have to arrange photography.. we didn't have to find a graphic artist... their team did it all. Throughout the entire process, they were on the ball with support, answering and responding to our questions right away. The entire team has their special talents, and it was a really cool experience watching it all come together.

The Goat People are charming, smart and extremely good looking. They also know their craft like no one else I've worked with in my long, lustrous career as a marketing creative-type. I was offered no discount for this positive review and yet, still, five stars.

Lindsay Veling (Nail That Accent)

Lost, uninspired and de-motivated. That's how I felt before Goatsocial came on board. Working with the Goatsocial team inspired me from our very first call. Their ideas, passion and energy helped revamp my brand and develop a beautiful site that I'm now proud to show off. I can't wait to come up with more projects that I need to work with them on. Thank you so much Goatsocial!

Props to Terence and Goatsocial for building me a fantastic landing page for my new book. Terence is a conversion expert and delivered great value and ideas to make the new site as effective as possible.

In my over 25 years in the design industry I have had occasion to work with many teams. Recently we engaged Goatsocial to produce a landing page for a significant North American product launch—with tight constraints and very short timelines. I was very impressed with the way the team came together, understood the requirements, navigated our brand and produced an elevated product we’re extremely proud to share externally across North America. On top of this, throughout the project their energy, enthusiasm, expertise and professionalism shone.

My company and Terence Sawtell, Founder of Goatsocial based at 803-1111 Beach Ave. Vancouver, B.C. entered into an agreement on September 29th 2015. Goatsocial was to render the following services: BRANDING, WEB DESIGN & CONSULTING though a process involving DISCOVERY, PLANNING, BRANDING, DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT & EVALUATION & DEBRIEF. The timeline was scheduled to be Sept 29 Retainer $8,246.70 to enter into phase 1 in which I flew from Central America to Vancouver BC to undergo the "Discovery Process" with him and his team. Upon my arrival, less than 4 hours of my time were occupied by this task as Terence was too busy and kept rescheduling, over and over again. Phase 1 was Due October 15th. As of October 15th I had received absolutely no deliverables what so ever and with $8,246.70 spent, I was becoming concerned about both the timeline and where my money was going. I asked Terence repeatedly for deadlines to which he said “Trust me, I am the project manager”. On November 11th I received a “mood board” with random photos and a couple colors. I also received a selection of random fonts on a piece of paper randomly organized. With Phase 2 coming due November 20th and only 2 deliverables received, Terence and I had a chat. Terence elaborated to me that with the deadline of Dec 15th approaching he simply could not complete the project for the launch of Dec 15th. He then quit the project and said: “I'm sending your money back. … I'm sorry I'm responsible for ruining your business.” Days later I received an outrageous bill from him claiming he spent 41.25 hrs developing 5 colours and putting some random fonts on a page therefore owing him $4125. He also elaborated that I had to wait until December 22nd at the latest for a check which has never came. Terence, throughout the time in which we interacted, consistently treated me disrespectfully, he yelled at me for wanting deadlines and was unprofessional at all moments. I could NEVER recommend this company. After not completing any of the agreed upon deliverables and quitting a project that held my livelihood and that of my employees at stake this business owner stole $8,246.70. I believe I deserve this money back.

Project start to project launch, I felt the team's support every step of the way and love their energy and digital hugs!

The Goatsocial team kicks serious butt. I came to them with a rough vision of what I wanted my new Digital Darlings Creative website to look like and contain, and Goatsocial executed it so beautifully with precision and ease. My website is better than I could have imagined, both in appearance and functionality. Not only do they work quickly, the team is just as detail oriented as I am, and completely nailed it on all aspects of the project. Being a designer and creative, it was incredible to have their insight on business and web marketing to complement my skills & expertise. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Goatsocial for any web/digital brand projects, or consulting. Blown away by the company, and can't thank them enough for making my vision a functioning reality.

Todd Talbot

Terence and the team at Goatsocial have been great to work with. A patient process gave me the results I was looking for and they have always been there if any question or issue arose. Further to that, I've called on their time and expertise to assist with some of my charity initiatives and they have contributed with no hesitation.

THE SHOP VANCOUVER

Great people! It's nice to have someone like Terence come in and walk you through the programs, back end to get a handle of how everything works. We are very happy to be working with a brand like Goat Social that actually cares about us and wants to see us succeed.

Laurent Munier

We are super happy to have hired the team at Goat Social to redo our website and launch our online marketing efforts. Their whole team has been great since the beginning - Terrence for overseeing the project, Jeremy for making the design beautiful, Kelsey for nailing it on the copywriting, Kyla for our killer mission video, Sara for some back end wizardry, Whitney for making us look great in photos and Emma for being the project management glue that held the whole thing together. I am very happy with their work and am happy to recommend them to anyone looking to take their online brand and web property to the next level. The team knows what they are doing and can deliver on what they say. Would hire again.

Robert Trasolini

I have had an extremely positive experience working with Terence and the Goat Social team. They did a fantastic job building our website and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. They had great communication throughout the website build and we now look forward to them helping us come up with a plan to drive traffic to the site. Great people, great service.

Micah Markley

My experience with Goatsocial exceeded all of my expectations. From the very start I noticed and appreciated how clearly they communicated. I felt that the team very effectively brought cohesion to my disorganized vision for the site and added a singleness of purpose with simple, yet elegant style. I was impressed with how structured their process was. I was always aware of what they were working on and was given an opportunity to give my opinion on the product before it was made live. I honestly could not be happier with the finished product and look forward to working with them more on future site developments.

Diane Fedun

Goatsocial was a wonderful company to work with. They completed all the web design for our company Silverstone Custom Homes and we could not be happier. From the very beginning, the team at Goatsocial took the time to listen and understand who we were as a company and what we stood for. This was directly reflected in our website development and we ended up with a product we are very happy with. Their customer service is exceptional and we always felt like all of our concerns were addressed. We would highly recommend Goatsocial to anyone looking for branding, web design or email marketing.

Barbara Aleks

Being highly detail oriented and a complete control freak, I was a little hesitant to hire someone to create my new website. I was afraid that they wouldn't understand who I was, what I wanted or have the same high standards. Not only did Goatsocial completely understand what I was looking for, they gave me exactly what I needed and more. They exceeded my expectations and provided me with a website that is above and beyond what I could have imagined. It's truly aligned with me and my brand and is highly functional and intuitively designed. The whole process from concept to completion was seamless, and communication lines were alway open. I highly recommend them.

Chad Turner

Couldn't be happier with the work they did for me. I've had my fair share of experience working with web designers, but Terence at Goatsocial separated himself from the pack with his cutting-edge design ability, marketing savvy insights, and eagerness to understand my business! I have since recommended Goat Social to a number of friends looking to take their web presence to the next level.

David Rapps

We contacted Goatsocial to overhaul our company's website. We received quotes from 3 other companies. It was clear from the start though that Goatsocial was special. Goatsocial has the dynamic enthusiasm we wanted in our partner and the organized and thoughtful approach we needed to launch our site on-time. Terence is AMAZING. If you don't know him, you need to meet him. He has insights that go way beyond web-design. Emma is so creative. The whole team is full of talent and the process was transparent and seamless. Our site is stunning thanks to the tremendous work they put in. Goatsocial was on the ball from the planning stage to design, development, testing and production. We could not be happier!

Alex C

Working with Goatsocial was fabulous! They listened to us and really made sure they understood our frustrations with our current website. We were supported the entire way through our site rebuild and their team encouraged our feedback. Beyond website creation they've also proven to be a great branding, SEO and marketing strategy company. Thank you Goatsocial!

I've had the opportunity to work with Goat Social on packaging, advertising and social media for my brand, Love Child Organics. Goat Social are wonderful to work with and extremely motivated to do a great job for their clients. I've particularly loved working with Emma Harris. Her devotion to clear communication and client experience is much appreciated.

Jillian Harris

GREAT TEAM! Great energy, innovative ideas & around the clock help (although I am sure they wish I didn't have their email at times!) These guys are born to do what they do. Brilliant at knowing your brand and your business and tailoring your web needs to fit it! You won't be disappointed with this team!

Brittany H

After my initial meeting with Goatsocial I requested a proposal from them. They said it would take them 1.5 weeks to get it to me. I never received the proposal or heard from them. I reached out to quite a few developers to see which one would be the right fit to me and Goatsocial is the only firm that never bothered to follow up.

Chris Sawtell

The full media package.

Goatsocial ROCKS. They recreated our website, pulled out all the stops, gave us drool-worthy visuals, and enhanced the way we do business. They get it. They get us. They understand business and could not have been more of an amazing team to work with! If there were 10 stars we would give it to them! Thank you Goatsocial for blowing our minds!
