Reviews of Windmill Strategy (Website Designer)

Cindy Dejesus

I was tasked at my job to find a website design team to give us a complete new makeover. We are an Engineering/Manufacturing company with 4 sister companies. I interviewed several different companies but as soon as I spoke with Kathy, I knew I had found the right folks for the job! Because we are a specialized engineering/manufacturing company, not everyone knows how our products work. Marketing a restaurant or selling t-shirts is easy. Specialized products, not so much. Unlike other companies, Windmill provided us with a report at the initial quoting phase with statistics and comparisons of our competitors in our industry. We were completely blown away at their attention to detail and it's carried over from beginning to the end. We've just launched our website a few days ago and there's no way we would've been as successful if we hadn't hired them. Note: I was advised by many to look for a local marketing firm since we're based in Rhode Island and Windmill is based in Minnesota. I can say that hiring local really doesn't matter and you shouldn't be worried if you've found a trusted source like Windmill Strategy. The online meetings has been absolutely great. They have great tools that make it easy to input your information that helps keep everything organized. Jackson was our project manager and helped us to stay on top of the schedule and sent friendly reminders and scheduled regular phone call updates. Jen is the queen of design and she is very good at capturing what you describe on paper. Matt is their copywriter and he was able to capture of essence, tone and vibe we wanted on our site to the T. If you're looking for a website design and strategy company to increase your traffic flow while updating your company's brand or starting from scratch, let Windmill Strategy handle it for you. You'll be soooo glad you did! Cindy Dejesus Primary Flow Signal, Inc.

A wonderful group to work with! Our website redesign is fabulous and would work with Windmill again in a heartbeat!

I have been working with the people at Windmill Design for a few years. We first moved our website site to them for hosting. It was extremely simple and Kathy and her team were consummate professionals. I had many bad experiences with other companies charging a huge amount and giving us no help. We are now working on a brand new website and every meeting and email I have had with them has been proactive. They are always prepared and ready to go (they also answer really strange questions about capabilities of what websites can do). I plan to keep our business with them and as projects come up, use them for assistance. Thank you, Kent

The Windmill Team was a pleasure to work with. They recently redesigned our website, updated our logo, and assisted with social media integration. Top notched service, expertise, professionalism, communication, and design; we couldn't be more pleased.

I would HIGHLY recommend Windmill for all website design and marketing. They are a great company to work with. All staff is very knowledgeable and very responsive! They stick to their timeline, and final cost was within estimated budget. We are very excited with our new website.

Simply excellent, the Windmill team helped me with logo design as well as a ground up website build and I couldn't be happier, highly recommended!

Lindsey Buscher

I had the distinct pleasure of working with the Windmill Design team on building a new website for the journal Science Editor. They were absolutely fantastic to work with (especially Tracy, Jenna, Kathy, James, and Nick), made every effort to listen and understand our audience, needs, and vision, and took it all to a level I hadn't imagined possible. I especially appreciated how organized they were in their approach to collaborating with the Science Editor task force. Every person I interacted with was professional, knowledgeable, patient, provided helpful feedback, and proposed new ideas as needed. They really understood our scholarly publishing needs and were creative in coming up with solutions to help our journal grow. They get top marks in my book, and I cannot recommend them highly enough! I sincerely hope I have an opportunity to work with them again.

Savy and Creative...Windmill is an excellent choice for Web Design and SEO.

Brian Ogren

We leveraged Windmill for their web design and development and had a great experience. Their personalized approach was key to our success. They put the customer first and are always willing to do what is needed to get things done.

Claire Sasse

We've been working with Windmill Design for several months now on a variety of projects and it's been an overall positive experience. Jackson is an outstanding communicator and has been quick to resolve any problems. We really appreciate our partnership and look forward to working together more in the future.

I am so impressed with Windmill Design! Their team does fantastic web development. They are professional and detail oriented. They delivered a superb quality website for us at Hogue Clinics!

Marissa Sapega

Windmill was absolutely amazing to work with. We had a massive project (rebranding, complete site rebuild) and everything needed to be accessible. Windmill was the best firm we could have hoped for to partner with. They were consistently responsive, accommodating, eager to help, and very knowledgeable. I would work with them again, no question!

Todd Bauernfeind

I've been working with Windmill since last July, we needed a way to reach more customers. They have revamped our website optimized our SEO and ran countless campaigns for us. The results of this work have been tremendous, they really know what they are doing. It is also a great group to work with.

Holly Richardson

After working with Windmill Strategy for 4 months, we've found them to be exceptionally professional, responsive, and knowledgeable in their field. We can recommend them without reservation.

Tracey Schilling

Our experience with Windmill has been excellent. Kathy and her team are professional, reliable, very knowledgeable and always responsive to our needs and requests. They are proactive and keep our site running smoothly and reliably behind the scenes so we can focus on our business and our clients. I highly recommend Windmill Design!

When we were on the hunt for a new web development partner, it was really important for us to find a team that would also act as a strategic partner. A lot of organizations are really strong in one or the other, but it's rare to find both. Windmill is that rare find! In addition to their expertise in development, SEO, digital marketing, etc., they truly think big picture. They take time to get to know your business and customers. They ask the right questions. They challenge where necessary. They work alongside you as an extension of your team and bring an incredible amount of value. Specific shout outs: Jackson is our Account Manager, and he's been phenomenal from the start. We've thrown all sorts of things his way, and he's managed to catch every single one of them, organize and delegate, and put a plan of action in place that's easy to understand. (Not an easy task). James is our lead developer, and he crushes it every time. From small changes to building wireframes and mapping out large transformations, he takes something so over our heads and makes it look easy. Karen has helped us understand SEO in a new way. You can read a thousand articles and blog posts, but nothing compares to someone walking you through it and applying it to your own brand. She's helped us optimize hundreds of products (that are now proudly appearing in search results) and get our Google and social ads up and running! Kathy is a great leader with an outstanding team. I can't say enough good things about them. They're truly changed our business for the better.

Joan Staveley

We have been working with Windmill Design for several years now to build and maintain our websites for Critical Measures and our brand CMElearning. They have also refreshed our business cards and developed promotional brochures. Critical Measures chose Windmill Design because they were a full service design house, we liked their website designs, and everywhere we looked on the internet, Windmill Design came up first on search lists for graphic and website design. To us that meant they were practicing what they put in place for others in the online world. Our favorite things about Windmill design are timely, responsive, service-with-a-smile, creative technical solutions, and design that meets our expectations. Windmill has also been very good to come up with alternate solutions at various prices so we can chose the service we can afford that fits our needs. Ongoing maintenance services/trouble-shooting services are excellent. They really have your back. Very Good!

Paul O'Hagan

We're a small business offering specialized services that require a non-standard approach towards our marketing strategies and goals. Windmill Strategy has consistently met our changing demands for website development, powerful marketing techniques and search engine optimization. Over the past 3 years, Windmill Strategies has continued to shine with innovative quarterly traffic and lead summaries that allow us to focus on our goals and really give us an edge in a competitive market. They're a great team!

Doug S

My client is small manufacturer of industrial materials, I looked at a significant number of agencies who have expertise in B2B technical marketing, web design, Wordpress and Hubspot. Windmill was the best choice and our project experience with them proved that out. Our progression through the project was efficient, very well managed and we are happy with our new website. The project team was professional and responsive. Now our challenge is to improve our SEO position and drive more organic traffic. I look forward to working with Windmill's marketing team to lift organic traffic above our historical baselines.

Justin Rattner

Windmill did an excellent job developing our company's website. They were highly-organized, cost-effective, and able to maintain a strict project guideline. Windmill was extremely responsive throughout the entire project and their team's expertise and wide-base of knowledge played a critical role in our successful "refresh & relaunch".

Peter Quale

Windmill Design is truly a hidden gem in Northeast Minneapolis. The whole team is fantastically talented and inherently creative without a single drop of ego getting in the way. Windmill is pure genius with a flair for aesthetics!

Omar Ilsever

The team at Windmill is fantastic! When we setout to build our new site, the objective was to build a simple, clean website that better established our newer division in the market , and Windmill delivered just that. Communication with Windmill was far better than past experiences, and we were very satisfied with Emily and the team throughout the project. I've launched several websites over the last 16 years and this was one of, if not, the best website experiences I've worked on. Thank you for your assistance and service!

WD listens and executes, and doesn't walk away when things get hard.

William Erickson

I have worked with Windmill over the past 9 months on branding, marketing and a full website design. This group has been absolutely phenomenal to work with. From the first meeting through implementation of each project it as been first class along the way. The team stays engaged and helps you walk through all of the different steps and options. I can't recommend them enough for their work!

JoAnn Blohowiak

The Windmill team is friendly and responsive. They take on the tricky problems with calm and confidence. They don't haze you with developer-speak when you need something complex. Best of all, their designs are elegant, clean, and in visual agreement with our brand.

Diane Govenat

Windmill is great to work with - they were very patient as we stretched out our website redesign to a much longer schedule than originally anticipated. The entire team is very responsive and creative. They listen and provide great customer service. I would highly recommend Windmill!

Charles Hart

Windmill was great to work with, and I loved the results. Really good experience and I'd recommend them highly.

Charles Lapensėe-Lafond

(Translated) I spoke with a member of the team. He masters his subject perfectly and is very professional. It inspires me confidence. (Original) J'ai discuté avec un membre de l'équipe. Il maîtrise parfaitement son sujet et est très professionnel. Cela m'inspire confiance.

Murray Fussell

Many thanks to the entire Windmill team for leading us through our website project! We especially appreciate Maria for being our guide from start to finish. From the outset of our website project, we were seeking to improve our organic performance, and wanted a partner that had experience in implementing HubSpot. While it's too soon to measure an increase in organic traffic, we have a solid foundation and analytics in place to review and make continuous improvement. A harder to measure outcome of this project is the value added to the internal sales team in the way of more images, links and specs/information available to send to prospective customers.

Mary Vancura

Windmill matched the character of our website to our company. The staff has amazing focus and attention to detail and is very organized. They were very enjoyable to work with--I looked forward to our meetings. The work was done in a timely manner and they were flexible in design, appearance, and operational options.

Mark Redenius

Our experience with Windmill has shown them to be highly competent, responsive, professional, polite and most of all effective. They were tasked with designing and implementing a website with more technical requirements than most and I am very satisfied with their results. Highly recommended!

Ellen Riker

It was a pleasure to work with Windmill Design to renovate the website of the National Association of Epilepsy Centers. Windmill met the many challenges of our project and we launched earlier than anticipated. The team was creative, attentive to detail, and very responsive to our needs throughout the development process and after we went live. Highly Recommended!

Steve Reis

Being at the end of our project, I’m convinced we had the best development and marketing professionals possible by choosing to work with Windmill. They were a pleasure to work with. Their competence, organization, reliability, and attention to detail were beyond reproach. We're more than happy with the new site they put together for us.

Rebecca Johnson

Windmill Strategy is an excellent partner for any and all branding, marketing, and website design/development needs. We hired Windmill to update the logo and create a website for the Childhood Cancer and Leukemia International Consortium (CLIC) and CLIC Foundation. They did an outstanding job on both counts and we are incredibly pleased with the final products. Our new logo and website are innovative and aesthetically appealing, while simultaneously bringing our mission and purpose to life. All of the Windmill staff members were a pleasure to work with from concept to execution, and it truly was a collaborative process. Additionally, they have continued to provide outstanding service after the launch of our website. We would like to congratulate Kathy Mrozek for assembling such a knowledgeable, talented, and professional team including Jackson Kelly, Trevor Lucking, Jen Brigham, Paul Waxlax, James Grumish, Ivan Trushin, and others. Becky Johnson, CLIC Program Manager and CLIC Foundation Executive Director Logan Spector, CLIC Chair and CLIC Foundation President and Director

I’ve really enjoyed working with Windmill and hands down have been the best technical/website partner I’ve worked with. I wouldn’t have been successful at TPGi without their knowledge, hard work, and creative problem-solving capabilities.

Sarah Brouillard

Windmill is the perfect combination of a personal and professional team. I enjoy their collaborative approach to website work and the final results they produce are gorgeous.

We have worked with Windmill over the past months on a website evaluation and recommendation project. The collaboration with the Windmill Team has been impeccable. They understand our business and possess great knowledge on UX within B2B. The team displays great flexibility and I recommend them highly.

David Wiegand

 We initially chose Windmill because of their depth of experience in helping industrial and manufacturing clients through similar website and marketing projects. They were big enough to get the job done yet small enough to give us great attention to detail and our account. Our new website has received lots of positive comments from the team and our announcement on LinkedIn, and we're very excited to start seeing traction with attracting qualified leads through our ongoing marketing work together.

Kevin Wiersma

Responsive, quality work, seeks to understand, valued partner

Steve Hedlund

MMPA worked with Windmill Strategy (formerly Windmill Design) on a refresh of our logo and a much-needed redesign of our website. As our organization has continued to evolve, the Windmill team helped guide our strategy to engage our audience more deeply. We love the new logo; the website better connects members to our content; navigation is user-friendly, and we're more easily discovered online. Windmill was great to work with, and they took the time to understand what we needed.

Tom Monette

We have been working with Windmill Strategy for 4 months on a complete ground up web design and all new marketing collateral. The Windmill team has proven to be an experienced and effective partner in the Med Devices space to accomplish our corporate goals in a compressed timeline without sacrificing quality. We are medical device company and our products are technical and need good supporting writing and visual support. Windmill Strategy has done an excellent job in ensuring our company branding and message resonates with our customers. They LISTEN and DELIVER high quality work.

Alexandra Thrond

Worked with Windmill on our new website and couldn't be happier. They kept the project moving along with our timelines, and were very professional. Seemed to read our minds with the creative design aspects!

Ryan Durry

We have used Windmill for several years for design and web work on one of our biggest events, and they are always phenomenal. Their whole team excels at working with the variety of stakeholders we bring to the table, and really tries to understand our needs and bring out the best in every project. Their ability to operate within difficult circumstances or criteria, integrate with our team, and consistently deliver beautiful work is absolutely second to none.

Christine Olson

The Windmill team was just what our medium sized industrial company needed! They are a true extension of our team who shared our vision and had the resources to get things done. I especially appreciate their willingness to coach us when we want to learn and be self sufficient. Our new website is bringing in leads and we have plans to use them for more projects.

David Klarich

The team at Windmill was incredible at executing an all-out rebranding of our company. Kathy and her team were responsive, professional and creative. They met every deadline we requested and assisted our brand rollout nationwide. We couldn't have done it without them!

Brian O.

Designed a site that had no SEO value and limited usability. Disappointing. Results just aren’t there for me to rate them higher than one star.
