It’s Lifedge’s 8-year anniversary!

I have to be honest – I often remember the phrases people tell you or the things you read in business books when starting a company. Business is tough; most don’t last five years, and even fewer reach ten or fifteen.

So today, I’m writing with a thankful heart.

Thank you to my entire team and everyone who has worked for Lifedge over the past eight years. I am grateful for each of you.

I’m also thankful for our clients. We don’t take it lightly or for granted that success is earned daily, and the effort is ongoing. I keep pushing myself and my team to deliver excellence and to consistently add value to your businesses.

I am grateful to my family and friends who support what I do. I’d especially like to thank my wife, who joined our team four years ago and has been an essential part of our growth.

Finally, I thank the One and only – the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ – who has provided us with the platform we have today. Since the early days of founding Lifedge, I’ve held two convictions:

• To serve God and let Him use my gifts and talents for His purpose.
• To build a sustainable business without losing my family.

Fast forward eight years, and I can confidently say I am still working toward these goals. They continue to fuel my daily work at Lifedge.

Thank you, clients and team!

In July, we celebrated Lifedge’s 8-year anniversary with most of our team members. At my house, with a theme of friendly thankfulness, we invited our team to enjoy a traditional lunch with their families. It was wonderful to connect with our friends and their loved ones. We also had a special visit from our strategic partner in Costa Rica, ArtesyMedios, whose owners joined us for the celebration.

One of my favorite parts was asking many of our clients to share words of encouragement with my team. I called this the Encouragement Wall. It was inspiring to see the team’s reactions to these messages and to realize that what we do truly matters.

Since not all team members could attend the party, I brought the same wall to our next meeting. By unanimous vote, my team asked me to write a blog post and share these incredible testimonials below. So, here’s what some of our clients are saying about the Lifedge team:

Lifedge team, it’s been a pleasure and joy to get to know you this past year!
When I started at CSI, one of the first things Lindsay mentioned was how much I’d love your team – and she was right! From Regan’s beautiful designs to your team’s countless projects for our website, your understanding of our needs and commitment to our mission are evident. As an added bonus, you are the only vendor I’ve ever laughed so hard with on video calls.
Enjoy your celebration, and we wish you many more successful years!

I value and appreciate Lifedge – not the organization, but the people who make up the team.  Thank you to each of you who has worked diligently behind the scenes, helping our ministry grow and thrive in the digital world. You are our first contact in crisis, and our first contact when we are dreaming of something new.

Your prompt professional response, your care for our needs, and the fun we have partnering together have been an absolute joy! Keep up the good work. We look forward to the future together.

First of all, I want to say that every single member of the Lifedge Team has been absolutely wonderful to work with…EVERYONE. I do want to highlight the two people I’ve worked with most closely…Oscar, & Joe Grech. Both of you have been truly amazing…If I had to boil it down to what has meant the most to me about working with you, it would be that you CARE. You truly care about our success.

Your true heart feeling is very evident in everything you do for and with us. I have full confidence in your expertise and anticipate a long-term relationship that will include amazing results that will allow all of us to have Kingdom impact through our businesses.

You’ve taken the stress out of marketing and turned it into something we’re excited about. Keep doing what you’re doing – you’re making a difference, and it shows.

 “They listened to our needs”

Selecting Lifedge has been the best decision that we have made relative to managing our SEO and SEM. They understand that we would prefer not to spend much of our valuable time dealing with that part of the business. Our business is trucking and transportation. It became clear early on in our business relationship that they are true experts in SEO and SEM. This enables us to spend our valuable time and energy just on managing a trucking company.

The thing that I found most notable was that they listened to our needs exceptionally well. Then developed a program that satisfied those needs. Great Job Lifedge!!
I sincerely appreciate you!

Kuperus Trucking | Brent O.

I am thrilled to have worked with Lifedge these past eight years – first as a contractor and then as a client! Every single person we’ve worked with has been a delight and a talent, whether it’s working with Regan, who continues to impress us with her designs, Terrah with her project management and communication expertise, or Oscar and his developers, who have put so much time and dedication into bringing our two websites to life. Happy 8-year anniversary, Lifedge & cheers to many more!

“Responsiveness, professionalism, and attention to detail”

Dear Lifedge Team, on behalf of the Byron Center Chamber, we want to extend our sincere thanks for your outstanding partnership and support. Your team has consistently gone above and beyond when we’ve needed assistance, and your responsiveness, professionalism, and attention to detail have never gone unnoticed. We are more than impressed with our website – it truly reflects the heart of our organization – and we are so grateful for the expertise and care you poured into making it what it is. Thank you for being such a reliable and valued partner. We look forward to continuing to grow together and are truly thankful to have you on our team.

Byron Center Chamber | Shannon

Renewal has been working with Lifedge for a few years now. Over that time, we’ve worked with Oscar and Jared, who have taken great care of us along each step of the journey. Each journey we’ve gone on with Lifedge has been filled with encouragement and great ideas for how to improve our web processes or setup. Additionally, the understanding that Oscar and Jared showed us when we needed to slow down or speed things up has stood out greatly as one of the core reasons we are so grateful for Lifedge.

On a much more frequent basis, our primary liaison has been Jared, and we have loved working with him. His kindness, understanding, and willingness to work with you on your ideas and troubleshoot things until they’re working perfectly again are phenomenal. We are grateful for all the time we’ve gotten with Jared over the past few years.

Congrats on the 8-year anniversary of Lifedge. We at STA have had an amazing experience with everyone that we have had contact with, and they have helped us fill a big need for us. I would say put aside the business side of things, and one of the greatest things I think we have created is we have developed a great friendship and trust with you and your team. Congrats!

Stewardship Trust Advisors | Jacob E.

When we hired Lifedge to build our website, we were beyond impressed with the work that was done! Our website went from a DIY Wix site to a professional site in such a short time! Having a great website has made a world of difference in our company’s growth! I love hiring a team that I can trust to have our best interests at heart!
