Plan, design, develop and launch a new marketing website for The Mandt System, Inc. for the purpose of credibility, information and lead generation.

A crucial aspect of boosting conversion rates is to simplify and guide the user experience. When presented with too many choices, individuals often struggle to make decisions, known as the paradox of choice. Our objective is consistently to divide the decision-making journey into manageable steps. On the Mandt site, we initially present two primary options (in-person or e-learning), then delve one layer deeper, keeping the process straightforward and concise.

They adhered to the budget and met all deadlines punctually. We employed Asana, Zoom, Slack, email, Figma, and Octopus.do for communication and project management.

I have worked with GLIDE® on several sites because they simply are the best. This is a very thoughtful team that covers everything from best practices, cutting edge trends, and amazing design.

GLIDE provided the initial framework of design for my Online ticketing platform. The consulted with me multiple times a week, for months, gathering information they needed to be completely transparent and deliver a product to me that was beyond expectations.

Outcomes of the project were a fully designed site, that not only provided user friendliness and aligned with the functionality. GLIDE also designed the site in a way that was transparent with our brand and what we stood for.

Always delivered on time and for the most part always responded to our needs. Every project has bumps in the road but they were quick at making adjustments.

What I found to be impressive and unique about GLIDE® was their culture and how they cared about their work and took pride in it. The CEO of this company is a very driven individual who seeks excellence and goes to every extent to make sure his clients are satisfied.

I always like to say, you cant grow if you do not improve, so the answer is always yes. For me I wish they would have communicated a little better as far as what the mission really is, rather than kind of following a blueprint. But as I said there are always bumps in the road and GLIDE was quick to address these things.

Chimp Haven worked with GLIDE to complete a total redesign of its website.

GLIDE helped us launch a beautiful new website with all the functionality, lovely design, and personality we were looking for on time and on budget.

Project timelines were clearly communicated and weekly check-in calls kept us apprised of progress and provided opportunities to discuss questions and feedback. GLIDE was always on time with their deliverables and we were very happy to launch the new site on schedule.

Our project team was fantastic and very easy to work with. Our team had a vision for how we wanted to see our brand reflected on the website, and the project team did a great job at taking a lot of thoughts and ideas from non-technical people and bringing them to life as something tangible. We also really appreciate GLIDE's commitment to working with nonprofits, which made it possible for us to get all the functionality we really needed in the site within our budget.

The project felt seamless from our end; They did a great job of letting us know what was up ahead and setting expectations for different phases of the work.

Design 8+ webpages, a complex package catalog with many filter options and categories, and form placements and CTAs to convert submissions. Develop the website in WordPress after the designs were finalized. Test and confirm functionality of site with post-project support.

The 6-8 month project was to design and develop a replacement for our previous Wix website. We worked with the Glide design team for the first few months of the project to finalize designs and content for 8+ pages and a new single package listing design. Our industry requires excellent and appealing design that highlights many large photos and Glide did a great job. The website features hundreds of travel experiences across 15+ categories with considerable filter options. The user experience is intuitive and easy to navigate. All feedback on the design and functionality have been very positive!

We were in contact with 2-3 people at Glide in any given month. They were very responsive to design change requests, post-project bug fixes, and deliverables dates. We had valuable project planning and design meetings via Zoom. We enjoyed the experience!

The design fit exactly what we were looking for! Stunning use of our photos and created an energetic experience to keep visitors clicking.

We could have used a little more time between finishing development and launch. The window that was planned for was very short. The development team was very responsive and easy to work with but we have some minor issues that needed more time to address. Everything was handled and launched successfully!

Glide helped us migrate 10 sites from multiple platforms and themes (drupal, wordpress, custom) to a shared custom theme installed on WP Engine, with all assets owned and administered by us. This process took roughly a year due to stakeholder management on our end. After successful and smooth launch, we have continued to work with them to develop new functionality on the shared theme and help us troubleshoot any issues.

Since 2020, our page views and screen views have increased 80%and our users completed goals on the site 1.4M times last year. Our websites remain one of the key pillars of our communication strategy--email marketing, social media marketing, video marketing all point back to our sites where good design ensures that we value digital hospitality as much as we value hospitality in person.

Communication is clear, quick, and reliable. I know that any ticket I open will begin within 24 hours of submission--often much quicker. If I flag a ticket as urgent, we can expect the problem to be resolved within the hour.

Glide has a unique ability to remain lean in its operating structure--passing the savings along to their customers--while still maintaining a strong culture and reliable, quality services. GLIDE® is dedicated to giving back to important needs in the world--and they even guided us through our certification with 1% for the Planet as a way of living out that organizational value in their company.

We've been using the same wordpress theme for nearly a decade. It still looks good, and it still works reliably. I'm not sure what more we could expect. Continuous improvement has worked well for us.
