Let’s Get to Work


"I've worked with a lot of different companies, and have never had the experience we've received from Ice Nine. From our WordPress website in which we've more than doubled our traffic, to Google Ads campaigns that have resulted in a huge increase in online applications, they are our trusted and go-to development team. They have top-notch skills, however, their customer service is what sets them apart."
Alicia E., Marketing Manager, Crossland Construction

"The WordPress website that Ice Nine built for our business won a Web Excellence Award! Their team is great at turning web ideas into reality. Not just that, they also have excellent communication and project management skills. I like that they know web design and development, but also the marketing side like SEO and ads. The best digital agency in the business!"
Nick G., Head of Creative, Jackson Dearborn Partners

    • "Ice Nine did a fantastic job with our real estate website. The website has all of our required functionality and then some. The design is modern and makes us stand out in our industry. Their project management process was great. They even trained us on how to keep the website updated ourselves, giving us the ability to customize everything we may want to, on the spot. They've also been very responsive to updates that needed to be made after the site went live. Highly recommend Ice Nine, they were great to work with."

      -Ambrosia L., Limon Net Lease Group

    • "For the website rebuild, Ice Nine Online started from scratch. They handled both the design and development. The finished product is fantastic, and the ongoing work is exceptional and high-quality. I think that’s a result of their focus, day in and day out, on communication, delivery of milestones on time, check-ins, and the iterative process with the website as well as the lead generation."

      -John S., Gibraltar Business Capital

    • "We've gotten a greater number of leads organically from Google since working with Ice Nine Online. Before, we never saw these results. We also have several hundred visits to our website per day thanks to the help from Ice Nine Online. So far, this has been the biggest year for FriendMedia, in terms of our website activity and Ice Nine Online is to thank. The money we're paying has been well worth the investment."

      -Jessie K., FriendMedia

    • "Effective project management is one of Ice Nine Online's key strengths. Unlike our previous vendor, they listened to our needs and took our priorities into consideration when building the website. They worked alongside us and gave honest input if they thought our requests would delay the project or lower the overall quality. Their expertise helped steer us in the right direction. They also truly managed the project allowing us to focus on our other priorities."

      -Shannon S., V3 Companies
    "We have been working with Matt and Ice Nine for nearly a year on a few campaigns and I cannot stress enough the invaluable role he has played in moving our marketing efforts forward into a much more digital savvy approach. He truly takes the time to understand our objectives AND challenges without trying to push a one size fits all typical marketing solution. Digital marketing and SEO optimization is offered and done by many BUT few roll their sleeves up and create campaigns and solutions with a level of passion and dedication as if they were a member of your organization like Matt and Ice Nine."
