• Testimonials:
  • "My team and I have had the privilege of working with Astuteo for many years and highly recommend them for any craft development project. Their deep technical knowledge and expertise have been incredibly valuable to our organization.Several years ago, when our business underwent an acquisition and we acquired several other companies, Astuteo skillfully guided us through these transitions, managing multiple sites simultaneously and eventually helping us consolidate them into a single, cohesive site. Later, they guided us through a site refresh as our brand continued to develop. Alongside all the changes, they implemented an impressive Algolia-powered search solution that met our complex requirements across the site.What stands out to me about Astuteo is their attention to detail and willingness to create a collaborative experience. They made our Craft CMS backend intuitive and user-friendly for team members in various roles, and remained consistently responsive and open to feedback throughout our engagement. As a designer, I had the opportunity to design some of our website's pages, and I greatly appreciated their commitment to bringing my designs to life. They consistently worked to match my vision while also providing thoughtful guidance on areas that could be improved or approached more effectively. This collaborative dynamic made our working relationship both productive and educational.Astuteo combines technical excellence with genuine collaboration, insight, and reliability. I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone currently working with Craft or considering starting a new Craft project." — Kat Giesar, Senior Designer (2025-09-30) Source
  • "Matt and Dustin at Astuteo are an incredible team.Their Craft CMS expertise runs so deep. They handled the Avtex and, after rebranding, TTEC Digital websites, including a complete site redesign, merging of legacy acquisitions' sites, restructuring and clarifying our resource library, creating an email signature generator for staff, implementing Algolia-powered search with precision and care, and so much more.They are extremely responsive and communicative, more so than most larger vendors I have worked with. They give honest, expert guidance before diving in, and you can count on them to resolve any problem quickly. I would often send a question or flag an issue and have a response, usually with a solution, before I could even refresh my inbox.I would recommend them without hesitation for any Craft CMS project. They are knowledgeable, reliable, and genuinely good people." — Carolyn Turney, Senior Content Strategist (2025-10-09) Source
  • "We went through a full website re-design and re-platform onto Craft CMS. As a CMO, going through many of these, I understand the importance of having a trusted partner to lean into for such a critical market facing brand asset. Astuteo was a gem of a find for us. Matt and Dustin were always willing to take a quick call to go through anything we needed. They understand Craft capabilities and can match that to a marketing/brand vision in a way that makes it really easy to execute. Craft itself is a very open PHP platform and these guys brought some of our most fanciful visions come to life. I can't stress enough how easy it is to work with them. We put a lot of trust in their partnership and basically they became an extension of our team, working with not just us but our IT groups on any troubleshooting needed. Astuteo is an easy choice for anyone of Craft!" — John Seeds, Chief Marketing Officer (2025-10-30) Source
