We are a team of designers, developers, and usability specialists who are involved in your project from start to finish. As a client, this means you'll be working directly with the people who are creating your website rather than salespeople and business majors. As required, we also maintain strategic partnerships to round out your project with services such as videography, photography and copywriting.

Boxcar built the Ann Arbor YMCA website and has continued to provide excellent and timely support. The entire team is accessible, creative and efficient! In addition, they are so generous with their expertise and did pro bono work in creating and launching the website for the YMCA d'Haiti. Thank you Boxcar, for all you do!

Boxcar is everything I look for in a web design firm: skilled, organized, creative, and flexible. From our first conversation they were interested in my organization's goals, and their proposal made clear they understood our needs. Plus, they are nice people and fun to work with. I am a huge fan of the way they use collaborative online tools to move projects forward, and that transparency allowed me to put my full trust in them and not stress out about the project management side of things.
I find their system much more efficient than previous web builds that involved countless phone calls, meetings, and confusing email threads. That said, I've always found them available and willing to hop on the phone or respond to an email. Every time I've requested something or filled out a support ticket I get a quick response and pretty much always an immediate update or fix. Their work product and value for the cost are outstanding, and I will continue working with Boxcar.

Boxcar was an absolute pleasure to work with. They are relaxed and easy-going but professional and completely responsive at the same time. Boxcar helped the Erb Institute develop a whole new look for our site and rose to the challenge on on our many tweaks to get the right look, feel and functionality. They also brought ideas and recommendations to optimize our site. We look forward to working with them on an on-going basis in order to make sure our site stays fresh!

We were impressed with Boxcar's portfolio of work and its approach to designing websites unique to each client. We reviewed numerous "cookie cutter" templates from other vendors that just didn't address our needs or convey our story. Boxcar provided us with a website that reflects our vision. As a Congregational church, we have a unique and storied history that serves as a foundation for those seeking a church that promotes critical thinking and diverse views.
From the initial planning meeting to the final edits before launch, Boxcar's team helped us to stay on message - resulting in a website that is visually exciting, rich in content and user friendly. We cannot say enough about the team's patience, flexibility and thoughtful approach to our project. Their team also understands the challenges that come with organizations and entities that rely on volunteer sweat equity. They were terrific partners in this project.

I have worked with Boxcar on multiple projects across the hospitality industry and can't recommend them highly enough. Their work has exceeded my expectations each time and their professionalism, creativity and responsiveness are just a few of the traits that make their team a joy to work with. Keep up the good work!

We had Boxcar redo and update our company's website (Meadowlark Builders) In 2016. I was not heavily involved in that part of the process, but I have been involved in the back end maintenance of the site ever since it went live. TJ and crew have always been there for me answering my questions quickly and thoughtfully - regardless of how stupid they were! Their customer service is excellent. Great folks to work with!
