Who we work with

Client Testimonials

We selected GovWebworks because we were impressed with their credentials in servicing the public sector and specifically with their expertise in developing highly usable web applications for government entities. Idaho was under pressure to meet federal and state-imposed deadlines. GovWebworks brought an advanced understanding of web interface options, plus an ability to immediately integrate with existing IDHW development methodologies, resources, and infrastructure, and the capacity to cooperatively build a modern and secure citizen portal.

Greg Kunz, Deputy AdministratorIdaho Department of Health and Welfare

GovWebworks was a pleasure to work with on the Iowa Department of Administrative Services Website Migration Project. The company readied its final deliverables on the staging server weeks ahead of schedule. We have been very pleased with their design and production capabilities.

Their company also demonstrated some rather impressive capabilities with regard to content migration. They are highly professional, very attentive to agency collaboration needs, and mindful of audience and usability issues. We have moved in a terrific direction with their help.

Caleb Hunter - Deputy Director Iowa Department of Administrative Services

GovWebworks helped us take our desire to better serve our community’s needs and make it a reality. Incorporating the needs of our professional community, our staff and agency partners, and the residents of Washington State who use our services, they were all able to successfully develop the new website, on time and on budget, and to deliver exactly what each audience needed. The helpful and friendly GovWebworks team members built a site that allows us to deliver real benefit to everyone in our community.

GovWebworks implemented a number of innovations to support the promotion of Maine tourism including tools that quickly became invaluable to both the businesses using them and Office of Tourism staff responsible for reviewing and approving submissions. The GovWebworks team are highly professional, very attentive to agency collaboration needs, and mindful of audience and usability issues.

Steve Lyons - Marketing ManagerMaine Office of Tourism

Their impeccable custom software development services resulted in an on-time and on-budget delivery of our web-based initiative. Our confidence in their abilities is such that we have since initiated a second phase of development with their firm. I have already recommended them to colleagues and will continue to do so without reservation.

GovWebworks was selected through a competitive bid process and we have been extremely happy with them as a vendor. In particular, they helped us to focus our efforts and project resources on improving customer experience by finding creative approaches throughout the implementation process.

All of the GovWebworks staff display professionalism and commitment to delivering the best outcome possible. Both our staff and site users have been very pleased with the time-saving benefits of the new site.

James Gutholm - CIOWashington Public Disclosure Commission

GovWebworks helped us turn a rough concept for a mobile app into a tool that is much better than we initially anticipated. The team impressed us from the start by asking the right questions to understand our needs and sharing best practices to make it as user friendly as possible. We enjoyed working with the GovWebworks team and are very pleased with the resulting product.

Angie Davis - CACFP Shopper Project ManagerIowa Department of Education

GovWebworks designed a wonderful series of workshops to lead students and medical faculty through the basics of UX design. The presentations were professional and well-received by participants, and delivered just what we were looking for, a through line that enabled our various teams to guide their own progress. We are grateful to GWW for pulling this together.
