Coalition Technologies

Coalition Technologies were an overall great company to work with regarding writing an article for my website business to be placed on the homepage. I needed some text on my home page for SEO purposes and these guys actually researched my site very well and wrote a great article with calls to action and overall optimized for search engines. Krista was very helpful and followed up with me via email almost every day and was very professional. They are a company based in CA so their prices are up there, but I can tell you their work would be worth it. I hope to contact them for some future small projects since they do provide immense value even from a small email communication. If you are a large company and have a high marketing budget, don't hesitate to contact them even for a small test run as I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

Coalition has helped us immensely with a complex integration with our ERP solution. Talked to a lot of companies, most of whom wanted a recurring billing model and Coalition was the only one to offer a viable fixed cost solution that we could own. On behalf of our management team and fulfillment group, thanks Coalition, Jordan, and everyone who worked on our project.

Handled an upgrade of our Shopify store design through Coalition in the fall. We liked the flexibility of not having a minimum monthly charge in their retainer and the ability to either guide the process or lean on their team more havily (they are really insightful on user expectations and marketing improvements). As others have mentioned, Coalition is not cheap but I don’t think you necessarily want cheap. Learn from our experience- cheap web design and development work incurred a lot of unseen costs. You pay to have something done once, then pay to have it fixed, then to have it optimized and so on. Not with Coalition. Work gets done right the first time. Just know it can take time and you get what you pay for.

I just finished a web design project with Coalition on Bigcommerce. Everything was very well done and very professionally managed / delivered. There are a few things that I noted from my experience that are shareable or noteworthy; Its been noted before, but their quotes / estimates are always in business days. If you don’t catch that in advance that’s on you, but I do feel like they could highlight what that means for ACTUAL dates sooner in the process. (PS They are also estimates, which they note everywhere). Contracts are loooooonnnnng. Not sure this is a good or bad thing, but their contract is probably twice as long as any web design contract I’ve ever seen. They are also WAAAAY more detailed than other ones I’ve seen so there is some plus there. But there are also more terms / exclusions / policy type of things. They also have spent some money making sure the contracts read okay- attorneys wouldn’t all have a bad rap if they bothered simplifying / over explaining the fine print like Coalition has. Unlike some others I’ve seen review here, I read the terms, understood them, and agreed to them. No biggie. Just be aware of what you’re getting into. You’re one of many. Again noted before, I’m not paying pricing for web design where I expect to be the only client which I can appreciate. But I did miss a few of their deadlines for me and that doubled up on some of the time till next deliverable. If you’re in a rush, I’d be very clear and ready to participate.

Coalition Technologies delivered a great new website for our church, The Church at Cedar Springs in Graham, WA. As a smaller size organization, it was important to us to have our website built by a company that would guide us through the entire process. We were impressed with how informative and responsive they were throughout the project. Also, our previous site was barely on Google's radar. Three months after the new site was launched, we are now number one for churches in our area. Overall, we are very pleased with Coalition Technologies and are thankful that we used them for our website needs.

"We just wanted to take this opportunity to thank everyone at Coalition for your hard work and major efforts on our behalf to help us get our business back in the black. Getting our penalty removed and then building traffic has been a lifesaver."
