WOW! Working with Crema was a dream come true -- literally! Rarely have I had the opportunity to engage with a partner who so actively listens to its client's vision, considers ways address the request, then magically brings it to life with such finesse... that's exactly what Crema did. With a tight turnaround time and a very public launch, Crema created a beautiful user interface, backend database, and promotional display that activated my product and made it fun and easy to use while perfectly representing my brand. I am so grateful to Crema and will continue to seek opportunities to work with this innovative, creative, and positive group of professionals.

Entrepreneurship is hard! I am no expert in technology or software development. In fact, I know just enough to confuse myself and challenge those who are trying to help me. Every interaction I had with Nate Olson and his team was professional and affirming. They very obviously care about their customers and their place in the tech community. While my project was not a good fit, yet, they were very encouraging and helped me consider next steps. It was refreshing to interact with a person and a group who understand the difficulties with start-ups and have the integrity to be honest and helpful. Crema is a Kansas City gem!
