Tom has been amazing to work with. He fixed every problem we ran into with our website. We would turn to him with some crazy website requests, usually at the last minute, and he made them happen. And that was really the key — whatever we wanted done on the site, he made it happen.

I’m standing by the hydrostatic test unit when I hear my phone start to ring. As I reach down to hit the mute button, I notice the call is being forwarded from our main company line. Thanks to our new phone system, the calls I might miss at my desk are shot over to my cell. Gotta love technology, right? So I quickly pick up the phone and cheerily drone into the mic, “Good Morning Hy-Grade, this is Mitchell.” I’m greeted by an engineer who has a technical question regarding one of our valves. The engineer is asking for dimensions on one of our valves. No problem, I think, all of that information is in our catalog. Now, I have most of the things in the catalog memorized, but the bolt hole pattern on a 6” 1500 class check valve is not one of them. I rush back to my desk to get a catalog and relay the information to the engineer who goes along with their day. There has got to be a better way to get this done, I think to myself.

Enter Tom Cowin and Blackfin. As it turns out, there is an easier way to get this done: just have all of the information ready for engineers to begin with. Why waste our time and our customer’s time answering easy questions, when a website could handle that sort of thing for us? After a few conversations involving the direction of the website, Tom presented us with an array of beautiful design choices for a more intuitive, more informative website. Our new website allows customers to find the information they need and allows us to focus our energy on better serving our customers in other ways. After Blackfin updated our website, our phone calls changed from general inquiries about information, to question about how to buy our products. It has been a real game changer in our increasingly digitized economy to have a website that actively works to make our lives easier and our customers lives easier. I would recommend Blackfin’s services to anyone wishing to modernize their business to thrive in a growing digital economy.

Tom is exceptionally responsive, helpful, and it’s a pleasure to work with him. Our nonprofit uses our website to engage our member and the general community with contests, grant applications, forums, blogs, podcasts, and so on. Each aspect of this site entails a massive amount of back-end support, not just in setting up new tools or functions, but in continually fine-tuning them, so they shift to meet our ever-growing, often very last minute, needs. Tom has never balked at any request we’ve made of him, no matter how daunting or tedious it might seem. He is also able to share information in a relatable way for those of us who are not as tech-savvy. I enjoy working with him and consider him an integral part of our team. I know whatever problem or issue that sprouts up, he will solve it quickly and skillfully.
