What can I say? Jessica & her team at Stellaractive are phenominal! I will admit, my partner and I might require just a ssssssmidge more handholding than others. The team at Stellaractive are always patient with us and take plenty of time to explain the analytics to us lay-people. Their service is top-notch! Our online presence and leads have both increased dramatically since we hired them. Best upgrade we've made since we ditched the Thomas guides and started using GPS! If you want to grow your business, make a few more dollars, and enjoy collaborating with your marketing team while doing so, call them!

Refused to work with my niche business instead of learning about it. Made an implication that I wouldn’t be able to pay the starting fee of $500. Eek 😬 avoid
Response from the owner · a year ago
Hi Ariel, thanks for your feedback. While we always look for ways to serve new clients, there are times when our services may not be the right fit for certain industries. This is in no way a reflection of the potential or value of your business, and we’re sorry that we weren’t a good match for each other. Regarding fees, we don’t have a fixed starting price — our proposals are customized based on the unique needs of each project. We’re proud of the relationships we’ve built and our five-star rating, and we hope you find a partner more experienced in your industry. We wish you all the best with your business.

Stellaractive was amazing to work with! Rupert & Jessica are professional, friendly and made us feel like we were there only customers. The design they came up with gave us the exactly what we were looking for and the refresh we greatly needed. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to create or refresh their website!

Thank you for the wonderful review, Shawna! You've been a joy to work with and we're thrilled we were able to deliver what you needed. We hope the new website brings you lots of great business.

Our company, Digital Funding, owns 40,000 music tracks and hundreds of video titles. A year ago, we concluded that a major reset of our website was necessary as our old site was clunky, not very attractive and not very useful.
We engaged Stellaractive for this major reset and we were not only delighted with the outcome of our new website, but found the Stellaractive team to be fantastic. They not only added tremendous value, creative insight and guidance, but they were a pleasure to work with, they were timely in their work product and provided great value. Thank you, Jessica, Rupert and the whole Stellaractive team!

Thank you for this incredible testimony, Vince! We're very proud of the functionality we implemented in your website (not to mention its speed!), and we hope it brings you great leads and added asset protection. We enjoyed every minute of the process with you and Amy and look forward to a long friendship.

Stellaractive did an amazing job redesigning Paris Group Realty, LLC’s website. Working with the entire team – Jessica, Rupert, Tami, Ashley – has been an absolute pleasure. They know what they’re doing and they’re super responsive. As a busy real estate agency in the Portland market, Stellaractive guided our management team through the entire development process, and opened up new ways for us to connect with our clients.
Stellaractive doesn’t just create great websites; they are integral in driving our marketing and social media strategies. We continually look to their expertise and ability to seamlessly put digital advertising strategies into action and deliver results. Stellaractive makes development and implementation a breeze – I am so grateful to work with them!

I had a great experience working with Stellaractive to create a new website for the company I work for. I really appreciated how the team at Stellaractive took a collaborative approach - we felt very involved in the process and like they listened to our feedback. They were always super communicative and responsive, and happy to clarify anything we had questions about. I would absolutely recommend them and use them again in the future!
Positive: Responsiveness, Value
Response from the owner · 4 years ago
Thank you for the amazing review, Jenna! We firmly believe in the idea of creating websites in partnership with our clients (not just "for them"), so it's amazing to know that you felt supported and heard throughout the process. Here's to great things ahead!
