The creative teams at ACS Creative are a treat to work with. They provide very personalized service. Clients work directly with the appropriate team members, not through an account executive. Their solutions are personalized and unique because they listen to their clients and develop the best response for that situation. They are timely and responsive, and keep clients informed every step of the way - a very collaborative approach.

I found ACS Creative to be just that, CREATIVE! I found the team to be very professional, focused, and attentive to detail. We always knew what was expected from our end and when. We are very pleased with our new website. More current and easy to navigate. It was truly a collaborative effort. Well done!

It has been a pleasure working with ACS Creative on developing our website. Chris has been amazing! He has been very patient with us while we try to figure out what we want the website to look like. He has given us insight and recommendations along the way as well. We would not have been able to showcase our company without his expertise. I would highly recommend Chris and ACS Creative for all your website needs!

We have been using ACS Creative for quite some time and couldnt be happier. They are extremely professional and responsive. Ben, in particular, gets our needs met in record time and is always eager to help. They have gone above and beyond to help educate our staff on the basics of web design offering us support, expertise, and advice as needed. We are so happy to have them as our web manager!

ACS Creative did a great job helping my quickly growing company envision what we needed for our website. Chris Howell and his team leveraged our existing Visual Identity & Branding Guide to develop a consistent look and feel that was unique and easy for users to navigate. The ACS Creative team uncovered ideas and choices we hadnt considered and offered their expert opinion. This was not a cookie cutter effort since much of our recent growth has been through acquisition of other companies. ACS Creative provided alternative ways to incorporate content from legacy companies while maintaining our brand. Wed hire them again!

Chris, Ben, Thomas and everyone else at ACS have been a pleasure to work with! They recently designed our new organizational website, alongside several other ongoing projects, and we are thrilled with the results. In addition to the beautiful work, they are extremely responsive when we have questions and always provide a fair price. Would recommend to anyone!

My medical practice has really struggled with the overwhelming task of updating our website to word press and a more mobile-friendly format.  For a small business like ours, it is not so easy to locate a website design company that you can trust and who also has reasonable rates that are affordable for us.Then we found Chris Howell at ACS Creative.  From the very beginning, he impressed us with his depth of knowledge and always helpful demeanor.  He quickly identified ways that our website could be improved or optimized, and went right to work.  Chris has been a pleasure to work with.  All the issues are now resolved, and the final invoice actually came out significantly LOWER than his initial time projections! When was the last time you had that experience from a business?  Because we trust them, our practice is now moving our website hosting over to this company.I would highly recommend Chris and ACS Creative for any of your website creative, design or hosting needs.  Exceptional service. You will be impressed.

I’d like to give my highest commendation to ACS Creative. My company partnered with ACS to develop one of our key web based applications, and they could not have been more helpful, courteous, proactive or professional.Throughout the development process, Chris Howell and Paul Molina were always happy to adapt to any changes we had to our design plan or schedule. They continuously, and reliably, checked in with us to provide daily progress updates. As a Project development Lead for this project im more than happy to work with them on regular interactions.Beyond that, they delivered fast, comprehensive, and efficient results, which were critical to helping us execute our project in a timely and well-received manner. During our touch-point meetings, they provided professional advice and guidance on how to solve problems creatively, which helped us stay on track without wasting time. They also possess a great understanding of user requirements and considerations, as well as a strong knowledge base of the development stack.Another positive point: our project went slightly over budget, but this was because we requested significant additional changes that were not defined in our initial scope. Despite these changes, ACS delivered the value we expected and accommodated our needs without fail.We are now on phase two of our project with ACS team, and they continue to deliver exactly what they say they will. This is refreshing and reassuring, and that is extremely important to our team. We look forward to working with ACS throughout the life-cycle of this effort and would recommend the company to anyone looking for a reliable, creative and knowledgeable business partner.

My experience with this company was very negative. The quality of work put into my website was below average for the 8,000+ spent for a custom website. This company simply paid for a plan under WordPress which has tons of themes and plugins that makes website building very easy. Most people dont know this unless they are already familiar with WordPress. ACS is very deceptive in their business practices and when you question anything about the details on the hows and whys then they become very defensive and unprofessional. Just one example: I requested a photo gallery on one of my pages and was charged $235 for what they said took 2.5 hours but in fact it only took less than 5 minutes. How do I know? I researched WordPress and had a few conversations with them and they explained the process of uploading pics into my specific theme ACS used for my webpage. I ran from this company after the first year when hosting expired and I suggest anyone considering them to create their website to do the same.

Perhaps I should wait until my project is completed before I post this but, I am very impressed so far with ACS Creates. The team working on my project is very responsive and professional. They are very motivated and there enthusiasm is contagious. I am very impressed so far! I have no doubt my experience will end well and my project will turn out to be outstanding! This group of professionals has won my business and I plan to keep coming back.

ACS Creative is highly recommended! Chris is very quick to respond to inquiries and is incredibly easy to work with. ACS redesigned our home page as well as other marketing pages and their work is top notch. They offered guidance and their expertise when we started heading down the wrong path, which is appreciated. I will say I am normally very guarded when approaching new companies for service, but I was sold on their abilities and what they could do for us from the initial meeting. I was confident they could produce a professional, modern website for us and they did not disappoint! If you need website redesign, I highly recommend ACS!

I worked with ACS to design a new website for my company, and I was very pleased with their responsiveness and the initiative they took to build a site using a look and feel they thought would fit the companys public image. ACS was also very willing to accommodate requests for formatting and text changes, and to do so based on a schedule we proposed. Really happy with the end product.

I found the team I was looking for! ACS Creative is invested in innovative website design and development. With strategy, experience, passion, and imagination surpassed only by their professionalism and integrity – Chris and his Team fleshed out a digital media solution several years in development -- to fruition in approximately 30 days. We’re just getting started. I look forward to the next project with ACS Creative. Thanks again to my STEM Team – Chris, Kaitlen and Ben. You made it happen. I’m so excited! Thank you!

As an IT company, we need to be able to update fast (sometimes more than just a MACD) in order to keep up with our rapidly evolving industry. Weve struggled to find a company who was able to work with us and at the pace that we need. We have been very impressed with ACS Creative-fast response time, creative website designs, and excellent communication. Would definitely recommend!

I have been familiar with ACS Creative for many years and have always found them to be a very strong and knowledgeable partner. But most important of all is that they have always acted in a fair and moral manner; If there was a disparity in a project or pricing, we always worked it out to our mutual satisfaction. I have known and worked with all the principles and the owner of ACS Creative and consider them as trusted friends as well as business associates, and in this current business climate, that is far from usual.Thanks again, fellas.Dave

Review №31

I can say with absolute certainty that I needed a new website. I can also say that I get anxiety ridden around these types of processes. I am extremely picky about design and of course want my messaging to be spot on. This team did a great job guiding me through the process and created a phenomenal website for my company... and even mustered the patience they needed to deal with me!We have just about doubled the contact from potential clients with the new website! ACS created a contact page for us that enables a prospective client to send in their information, so they may be sent the contract and pricing. It makes it so easy for potential clients to reach out to gather more information to see if we are a fit for their dog!Thanks so much ACS! You rock!

I presented ACS Creative with a simple idea and they transformed it into a full-blown online business. In addition to monetizing my idea and building a 5-star website, they developed my brand, logo, and slogans. ACS also does an excellent job of spearheading online advertising/marketing campaigns with the utmost precision. Chris Howell, the Creative Director at ACS Rockville is extremely responsive, thorough, and persistent. I highly recommend ACS Rockville to anyone who is looking for impeccable work at a fair rate.

Ive worked with the designers at ACS Creative on several projects over the past two years. I have found them to be knowledgeable, responsive, creative and generally easy to work with on a continual basis. Chris hands-on approach lends itself to a can-do attitude and he has often dug into new areas to help us with technology issues and challenges. ACS is currently involved in several on-going projects for our company and is often thought of as a direct extension of our marketing team.

I have worked with Chris and the ACS creative team on two large, very complex projects with strict delivery deadlines. On both projects, ACS came up with a design and layout that perfectly captured the sense of place we desired while maintaining imposed page count limitations and other requirements. The team went above and beyond to make sure we delivered beautiful on time proposals.

Im working with ACS for couple of years now. They re-designed my website and came up with great ideas. Chris and his crew are very creative and I have never had a question or request that they could not answer. ACS also takes care of our SEO service, I receive a detailed email in a monthly basis with our site performance on all majors search sites and the visits are growing steady since then.Everything looks great and I get a lot of compliments on the website.

This year we benefited from our newly designed website. We added a home page update feature that cut down on our phone time. We continued to coordinate print materials with the design of the website, as well. Recently, ACS created a screen cast for us to help view and translate our analytics, so we look forward to tweaking things to make our jobs easier next year. Thanks for the friendly, responsive, and affordable service!

ACS took on a large project (our corporate website) and was able to complete it. There were some bumps in the road, but in the end, they did the right thing. Happy with the outcome, wish we would have thought of a few other issues that could have been addressed in the design, but ongoing relationship is good. The team at ACS is responsive, direct, honest, creative, and timely.

As a small business leader in my company, I had to identify a vendor who could assist me in the development of our corporate rebranding, which included a need for a complete website overhaul as well updates to existing print collateral. After my first meeting with ACS Creative, I knew that I found reliable and professional partners in Chris and Eddy who were exactly the right experts I needed to help take my companys marketing and branding needs to the next level. At every step of the process and also during other ad hoc requirements I had, ACS Creative was enthusiastic and always delivered high quality service to us. For that, they will continue to earn our business.

Review №64

Our organization is a non-profit that worked with ACS and we have nothing but negative things to say about this company. First off, their billing practices are less than straight forward and we have often gotten bills from these folks that left us scratching our heads. When questioned about the invoices, ACS failed to properly and directly answer our questions. The skill set set of their designers was not impressive at all and we paid for quite a bit of revisions because their designers were not able to grasp the needs of our organization. The website ACS created was quite frankly very pathetic for the nearly $8,000 that we spent. They essentially created a Homepage and an interior page which they filled in with text. By and large, there was no creative design on each of the interior pages, just literally copy and pasted text. It should be noted that $8,000 was only for this design and coding. ACS also did not properly inform our organization of the appropriate options when choosing the format of our site. We provided all the content and the stock images. When asked a simple question about how to create terms and conditions for our site, Chris (from ACS) told us to Google it. Excellent! Let us pay you folks 8k so that we can Google solutions for our website. The final straw came when Chris threatened to charge us for more revisions if we changed parts of the text (by parts I mean a few words). We sent an e-mail directly addressed to their owner and have not received a response from him to date. In fairness to ACS, Chris stated that the company would pay for any further revisions; however, we simply did not believe ACS could produce a website that would represent our organization well. We wish that we had done more due diligence on ACS Creative Inc before working with them. It appears that they are not accredited by the BBB. At this point, we have cut our losses and brought on a new design firm who has put together a outstanding website that meets our needs and is much much better than anything ACS created for us. We would not recommend ACS Creative to anyone and we are currently researching legal avenues to recoup part of the money we paid this company.

We have used ACSCreative for design and printing work for many years for our newsletter, Christmas card and many other materials. We love the quality of the designs and are pleased to say they work quickly. They also are a pleasure to work with in that they respond to questions quickly and clearly. We recommend 100%.This is a second review, written three years after the first (2015 now). Our non-profit still uses ACSCreative and is still very happy. I think their work is beautiful. Just as important, they still work fast. Our non-profit always has a lot of projects going and sometimes we get ideas at the last minute (or we are so busy with projects we start to get behind schedule). ACSCreative has been great at turning things around quickly and never complaining when I did not give them much time. It also helps that we love the work so much we often have little or no revisions. The ACSCreative crew is really friendly, too! We still recommend 100%!

Review №68

UPDATEAfter months of not hearing from ACS, we suddenly receive another invoice for nearly $3,000. In total, this company is billing our non-profit organization over $10,000 for the creation of a website that looks like a poorly designed word-press template. Just take a look at my initial review below if you want more details about the quality of work they did for our organization. I have never dealt with a company in any industry whose billing practices lack so much transparency and are just so embarrassingly unorganized. In addition to receiving invoices at random times, the actual bills have contained vague categories and descriptions that make it very difficult to understand what we are paying for. Our group is in the process of filing a formal complaint against this company with Marylands Attorney General. We are also contacting local media outlets to future publicize our ordeal with this ACS Creative. Save yourself the headache and AVOID this company. There are plenty of reputable and trustworthy web development companies out there.
