References and Testimonials With Linkedin Authority

When initiating a new business arrangement with a service provider, it’s crucial for the success of the project to first review the references of your proposed vendor. This is especially important in the web design and development world.  There are many horror stories of individuals and companies abandoning client projects for a bigger fish or shinier objects.  Most clients we work with are on their 3rd web developer due to lack of commitment, capacity or poor project management on the part of their service providers.

It is not only important to evaluate the quality, integrity and diligence of the organization you are about to do business with, but it is also key to make sure their company values, vibe and overall way of doing business align with yours.

We commonly check for references whether it be for new employees, service partners or vendors. So we encourage our potential clients to do the same with us. We feel that it is important to read reviews and testimonials from previous clients as well as our industry colleagues and counterparts.  Gaining credibility in the fast-paced and ever changing startup and web 2.0 industry requires recommendations from both our peers and industry leaders.

We rely on Linkedin to provide a dynamic and transparent way to display these testimonials and experiences from our clients and colleagues. The reviews are dynamic because they are written solely by a Linkedin connection and can be removed at any time by the author.  They are transparent since each endorsement has a direct link to our connection’s credentials and displays their relationship with us.
