Outstanding service, these guys are brilliant! I have worked with several developers on many projects and this has been by far the best experience I have had. They are responsive and creative.

Mike and Joel are the type of people you want to be in business with. If you value current information and design trends, smart, driven and charismatic people you will find it with this team. My goal was to have a team build my webpage based on my own vision and idea, I wanted something fresh, current, simplistic and user-friendly... I am confident in saying this is exactly what I received from Emphasize Design.

I came to Mike at Emphasize Design as he had worked with my husband in the past. My expectations were vastly exceeded. Mike listened to all my needs and requests, provided constructive input and designed a phenomenal website for me that will serve me and my start up business well into the future. The work was professional, timely and cost effective. My options were always presented to me up front and most important of all, Mike took the time and made the effort to "get" my business and how I wanted to represent myself. I highly recommend the services of Emphasize Design, and believe they provide excellent service and great customer satisfaction.

Monica Kidd

Joel and Mike were receptive and prompt and patient with the many changes I needed along the way. I’ve had great feedback on the website they built.

Adele Fox

I had the pleasure of hiring Emphasize Design to create a new website for me. My old webiste of 10 years was in bad need of a facelift. Mike and joel were incredibly accommodating during the process, as I wanted significant input from clients and friends. They organized a brain storming session with all my key people, developed various concepts, and kept working with me until I was extremely ectastic with the final product. And the truth is it didn't take long to come up with the final draft....they are just that good! They understood my budget, professionally challenged me on some ideas (thank god they did, as my ideas would not have failed miserably!), and were always prompt in getting back to me. And....they are just good family guys wanting to provide an excellent product. They talked me through every stage of the process (and given my technological ineptitude I appreciated that immensely) and made sure I understood the reasons and concepts. I have had numerous compliments and inquiries on who designed my website, not to mention it has enchanced my branding and client engagement and retention. I have recommended Emphasize Design and have no hesitation in putting my name behind them!

My association with the Emphasize Design team is an experience I will keep for ever. Right from the start they were very professional in their interactions with me and took time to explain what to expect from them. They lived to their words. I was pleasantly surprised when I was first shown the homepage background photograph and format/design. The choice was flawless and unbelievable. A perfect fit for my company’s activities and the industry! These professionals are very resourceful. Furthermore, responses to my questions were very timely and detailed. At every crossroad of the site’s development, the team took time to clarify the merits and demerits of the various options and gave me the freedom to make an informed decision. What else can one ask for? No wonder the final product is breathtaking. I have received very positive feedbacks from friends and acquaintances. It has been worth the investment!

Graham Harder

Had the pleasure of working with Mike, Joel and Michelle on the design and construction of our store's new website. From initial onset the team just understood the bigger picture of what we wanted to communicate as a paint store. Putting into play exceptional design and style that current and beautiful, the end result was exactly what we talked about and is sure to be current for years to come. The monthly maintenance plan allows for paint sales, new product launches etc. to be on the landing page and an open line of communication with my customers. Don't wait - just call.

I had the best time working with Mike & Joel and sincerely appreciated their patience seeing as this was the first time I ever dealt with starting a website for my new business.

Working with Mike was straightforward and easy. He had a good understanding of what was wanted and executed the website in a timely fashion. The overall experience was much better than a previous website launch had done several years back. Very satisfied, fair price, good service, quick turn around. Would definitely recommend using their services.

Great company to work with. Our business needed a modern website and logo. The look and feel we were looking for is exactly what Emphasize delivered. They were responsive to our needs and we are extremely satisfied.

Grace Gao

We went to Emphasize Design for help building our websites when we decided to expand our business... and they did a great job!! Mike is always quick to reply and respond to our requests, which made working with them very pleasant and constructive. They are also very helpful with absolutely any questions we had on the internet front, and we really appreciated their expertise and patience.

Lynsey Connors

Five stars plus for Mike and Joel! They both met with us to discuss our new website needs and expectations. My project was a bit different as the website itself IS my business- an online magazine. Mike was extremely patient with us as we worked through our own creative ideas on how we wanted the site to feel and read. His recommendations were fabulous and his ability to design the website exactly how we'd imagined it was amazing. Both Mike and Joel were very responsive- usually responding to our emails and requests for any revisions within a day- often within a few hours. We would highly recommend Emphasize Design to anyone. They went above and beyond our expectations and were mindful of our budget in doing so.

Colin Story

I just had a website built (radonreduction.ca) by Mike of Emphasize Design and am very impressed. He was very responsive, easy to deal with, extremely knowledgeable, and best of all very reasonably priced. I received quotes from the five top web designers in Calgary and couldn’t be happier with my decision. I highly recommend Mike and Emphasize Design.
