our partnerships matter

We had a great experience working with the Uptown team to overhaul our website. The previous version was clunky, outdated and difficult to update regularly, so unsurprisingly we weren’t seeing much benefit from it. I worked with April to lay out the vision for the new site, design the elements and learn to make our own updates, and in addition to being lovely to work with for that process, she has continued to be a resource for me when I hit a snag making updates or need a reminder on how to perform a particular function. Our new website brought us into compliance with ADA guidelines and made us eligible for Google Ad Grants, which has greatly improved the visibility and functionality of our website; in the first year post-launch, website traffic saw a 450% increase and quarterly donations also increased by 400%.  As a nonprofit with a small team, we need our website to be effective and low-maintenance, and Uptown helped us achieve both! 

The team at Uptown has consistently provided top-notch creative and technical support to my organization in the areas of website design, videography and graphic design. They have a very talented, multi-disciplinary team who are fun to work with and who are always responsive. I view Uptown as a one-stop shop for a variety of communications and design strategies in support of high impact, social change efforts.

Uptown Studios came to our rescue after our website crashed and required a complete redesign during the busiest season of our year.  The team at Uptown redesigned our website using one of their themes, and they were able to have us back up and running in record time!  The website design is clean, efficient, and easy to navigate, and they took the time to teach us how to update our own content regularly.  Their care and support has been nothing short of wonderful.  We are very grateful for their partnership!

I just wanted to share that Jaime has been amazing to work with on our website development. Our process over the last couple of weeks has been seamless and the team is delivering. I really appreciate the hard work as we were so excited to launch our site! I’ve enjoyed working with her and having the team execute and make revisions very quickly.

Your developer, Brent, has been great to work with on the new form, and our website management overall. Clear communication, accurate edits, and timely responses.

I don’t know how to thank Uptown Studios for making this process fun, easy. You did a great job! I appreciate all of your assistance.

OMG Gilda! The fact it took me 4 times to get through without crying is a testament to the love and attention you put into this celebration of life video.

This animation looks amazing. Thank you so much to you and your team. You’ve made this process so smooth for us. I know the team appreciates your work, and efforts bringing our ideas to life through this project. I am excited to show this to some of the youth in our community, and our community partners. I’m also planning to use it as a tool with our youth advisory group.

I just wanted to provide a quick note of appreciation for one of your employees. Gilda worked tirelessly to get us our video project by the deadline, working closely with me and providing clear direction and flexibility to the dozen-plus people who submitted their own self-taped videos for the project. I absolutely love the finished product and how everything came together, and I am so appreciative of Gilda’s efforts and going above and beyond. Thanks for having such a great team!

Truly amazing, Hope! Thank you so much for your partnership. You have done a truly exceptional job monitoring our account and increasing our organization’s visibility. We appreciate you!

All of the testimonial videos are great! I loved and am so grateful to have been a part of the process. Thank you all for your partnership and authenticity. I know these videos will help others!

Uptown Studios has been amazing to work with. They have been very professional in the work and also in the process they created for feedback. I appreciate that so much.
