Testimonials: What Our Clients Have To Say

The best part of our business is having happy customers. Their response to our service is what drives us to continue doing better.

If a great track record is what you are looking for in a web design and web development company, you should feel confident about Diligent IS after reading the submissions below.

After struggling with a "homemade" website for several years and being almost embarrassed to refer clients to it, we were fortunate to be introduced to Brian Hemesath and his company, Diligent IS.

Together we compiled a list of the old site's strengths and weaknesses and reviewed together other sites that had features we admired. From this intake Brian built our new website, which, quite candidly, pushed us from a no-class site to a world-class site. The new site incorporates compelling flash animation, bold colors, clean design, and meaningful content. It is especially user friendly and easy to navigate. It not only captures the attention of visitors, it sells! Within three days of launching, we gained two new clients. They landed at EDG because Brian Hemesath and Diligent IS know how to listen to client needs and then effectively build a compelling website that people can use.

Brian and his team delivered what we wanted and needed, and did it within our target budget. Now we are proud to say, "Go to edgltd.com."

"I have used Diligent IS on two projects, Raccoon River Brewing Company and the Temple for Performing Arts. Recently I turned the Hotel Fort Des Moines over to them and plan on having them do a site for Centro Restaurant in the near future.

The reason I have directed all of my web business to Diligent IS is that they provide straight forward solutions at a reasonable cost. Their graphics work is outstanding and they understand what visitors are looking for when they visit a site. They provide us with an outstanding administrative tool that allows our managers to make changes to the sites on their own.

I recommend Diligent IS for any site development and management. They take the mystery out of the internet business."

"In the wake of the compliments and kudos I have received on our new website it is only fitting that I give true credit where it is due. You were able to take a complex network of information, vendors, listings, agents, inventory and more, multiply it by 2 to include our Cedar Rapids operations and then made it into an efficient, easy to use and valuable sales tool.

The only true directive at our initial meeting was that within "3 clicks" we wanted a potential buyer to find the home of their dreams. You made that happen. On the administrative end, our previous site was lethargic and incredibly time-consuming to update as well as navigate. What used to take us hours to update now only takes minutes which frees-up valuable time to focus on other objectives.

With the creation of our agent only site we have enabled our listing agents to become self-sufficient with total inventory listings and downloads of our standard real estate documents and forms required in the sales process. Our new site has truly saved a vast amount of time and re-work for our internal staff as well as that of our agents.

We asked you to take on a task that was difficult even for us to fathom and turned it into a clean, streamlined, user-friendly website that has truly proven it's worth every day. We can't thank you enough for your time and expertise on our website."

"Welcome to the 21st Century" was just one of the many positive comments we received after upgrading our web site with Diligent IS's expertise. Brian Hemesath worked with us to determine what image we really wanted current customers and potential customers to see, and showed us how we could efficiently and attractively portray that on our site. Brian then offered insightful suggestions on how customers want to migrate around a web site, and how those tools could be easily managed "in-house." He made it all look easy!

After the web site project, we hired Diligent IS to work on our intranet site and to be short and sweet: it is great! More functionality, increased in-house functionality, and much better to look at.

"Diligent IS has been wonderful to work with, and has always provided quality customer service. The Des Moines Arts Festival Web site is an integral piece of our marketing campaign, and the content management solution that Diligent IS created is easy to use, allowing us to keep our Web site current for the thousands of users who browse our site every year.

Diligent IS also produced an online volunteer management system that we use to manage the hundreds of patrons who annually volunteer at the festival. This system has been a life saver, making the job of scheduling, tracking, contacting, and thanking our volunteers a simple process.

I am extremely pleased with the work Diligent IS has produced and I have recommended them to anyone looking to create an effective and dynamic online presence."
