IDLancer
This was our first time working beside a design team. IDLance listened to our needs, dug deep to fully understand what we wanted to accomplish, and then created products that FAR SURPASSED our expectations. The team was available, knowledgeable, courteous, down to earth, and showed a passion that matched our own.

“IDLance—where do I start?! Within a span of a couple months these brainiacs managed to learn an entire new lingo, read between the lines of what we needed, and turn out 3 beautiful and easy-to-digest training modules. They worked tirelessly to make this final product exactly what we wanted (without us even knowing what we wanted). To say I’d highly recommend IDLance is an understatement. They are knowledgeable, fast-working, and so creative!”
