Testimonials
You’ve seen the other version of this page—testimonials stacked in tidy rows, everyone smiling, all polish. I’d rather step back and let the people I’ve worked with talk. Non-profits and startups, dealerships, fintech, and a few unicorns for good measure. Different worlds, same standard of work. Here they are, in their own words.
People remember work that works.
Every name below trusted me with something that mattered to them—a launch, a rebrand, a reason to be found. Here’s what happened next, in their words.
“I believe Russ and these folks can help you a ton; they sure have helped us.”

Russ just plain gets it.
“Russ just plain gets it. From developing new marketing strategies, to sitting around the table and giving us practical next right steps for our upcoming releases, he constantly shows up where we need it. We could not be where we are today without his knowledge and expertise, and always look forward to our next time together.”

They are your resource; they’re ours.
“You cannot afford them on your staff, you don’t have the creativity on your team, you don’t have the website that you need, you’re a start-up. You need all this stuff. They are your resource; they’re ours.”
Chris Brown
They build their own tools.
“These guys are so good, they build their own tools.”

No better bang for your buck.
“The team at Catalyst not only offers the highest quality websites, but they pump them out fast and are great to work with. They went above and beyond to make sure that each little nuance of this site matched not only his design concept, but also our brand. If you are looking for web-work for your church, non-profit, or business, there is no better bang for your buck than Catalyst.”
