Josh Thill and Thrive Engine are such a rare find! I met Josh through a referral during my search for a website developer. As a solopreneur in the executive coaching field, it was wonderful to find someone who could meet my needs for both creative and technical work related to rebranding my company and building a new website from scratch. My husband, who has a strong background in web development and design work, also vetted Josh, and his enthusiastic approval was reassuring. Thrive Engine’s ability to speak my language around the visual design and answer my husband’s technical questions allowed us to collaborate effectively throughout the project. The project evolved to include not just website development but also a business re-naming process, logo and brand color palette, and slide template design. Josh's expertise in WordPress and Elementor was particularly valuable, empowering us to handle backend updates with confidence. I had been REALLY dreading creating website content, but Josh's team guided me gently through the process. Josh and Jeremy saved us time by creating such strong initial logo and webpage design choices that we were able to choose one of the first options, both times. Josh and his developer, Jeremy’s, willingness to incorporate our feedback have been great, and I felt heard throughout the process. I also appreciated Josh’s strong ethics and honesty throughout our engagement. Thrive Engine rocked at translating our brand goals into a digital reality that’s well optimized for SEO, mobile-friendly, and highly responsive. The site's responsiveness and mobile-friendly design have earned praise from our networks, especially our tech friends, which reaffirmed the value and quality of Thrive Engine’s work for us. Overall, my experience with Josh Thill and Thrive Engine has been transformative for my business and brand. I appreciate Josh's support, expertise in SEO, WordPress, Elementor, and website development, and his and Jeremy's responsiveness and design chops. Thrive Engine exceeded my expectations and I look forward to continuing to work with them. I recommend Josh and Thrive Engine unequivocally to anyone looking for the best in comprehensive website development.

My wife is a solopreneur consultant who asked for my input (I have web development experience) in making a final decision between web developer options for her new business website and rebranding. Josh and Jeremy listened to our vision and aesthetic preferences and worked with us to help us craft her brand. They nailed it! What they came back with helped bring her vision to life. They provided several variations on the logo that could be used in different contexts (Print, Social Media, dark/light backgrounds, Website, etc.) From there, Josh and Jeremy took the brand online, designing a website she feels proud of. Thrive Engine uses Wordpress and Elementor for managing the website, which is a solid combo. Elementor has the ability to quickly preview different responsive layouts so you know it will be mobile friendly and look good in different contexts. Josh was generous with his time and very supportive of us while we went through the vulnerable process of finding her brand’s voice. I strongly recommend Thrive Engine for their high quality design and web development work. Thank you Josh and Jeremy for taking our mess of ideas and creating something awesome! We are looking forward to partnering with you on future projects.
