I hired Web Ascender to help support a corporate website for a $200M credit union in the Lansing area. Our relationship with Web Ascender started when our original website vendor left us high and dry. The way Ryan Doom and his team stepped in to help us was amazing. They are experts in web design, hosting, and security. They understood the scope of work that we needed, and they quickly completed the fixes adhering to our tight timeline. They also communicated throughout the process so we always knew the status of our project. Web Ascender feels like a real partner. They are always quick to respond to emails, phones, and never shy away from an impromptu meeting when needed. I would highly recommend Web Ascender for your business website needs.
Lansing & Mid-Michigan
Websites, custom software, and digital marketing for Lansing, East Lansing, Okemos, and Mid-Michigan organizations since 2007.

Lansing’s web and marketing team since 2007
Web Ascender was founded in 2007 by two Michigan State University computer science graduates, and we’ve been part of the Lansing business community ever since. Our office is in Williamston, a short drive east of Lansing, and more than 250 organizations across Lansing, East Lansing, Okemos, and Mid-Michigan have worked with us.
That work spans the industries that make this region what it is: statewide associations headquartered in Okemos and Lansing, manufacturers and equipment dealers, agriculture companies, software firms, law firms, and education and public-sector organizations.

The Michigan Forest Association partnered with Web Ascender for a complex and ambitious project, and I can confidently say that they delivered everything they said they would, and then some! From the outset, their team was clear, organized, and committed to understanding our goals. As the project progressed, it became clear that some elements were more complicated than initially anticipated. Many vendors might have cut corners or started negotiating new terms. Not Web Ascender. They stuck with it, rolled up their sleeves, and pushed through every challenge. They stayed late, worked extra hours, and went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of and the project got across the finish line. Despite the increased workload and resource demands, they honored their original estimate and never once tried to tack on surprise charges or renegotiate the price. That kind of integrity is rare. Web Ascender earned our trust completely, and we would recommend them without hesitation to anyone seeking a team that is skilled, reliable, and truly invested in client success.
It's important we work with creative partners who get it - and that's the case with Web Ascender. We've worked with Ryan and his team for over 8 years on a variety of projects for our company, and for our clients. Their ability to scale to our needs has always been appreciated, and they always over-deliver. That's how we define a great partnership.
Ryan and his team are the most trustworthy and reliable experts when it comes to building a website and also troubleshooting any glitches. I have been a customer since 2019. Ryan has solved so many issues for my website. His team is respectful, swift and very responsive. I'm beyond grateful they have been able to assist me with troubleshooting my domain, building a clear marketing message and the support of technical expertise I couldn't find anywhere else. If you're looking to build a website, update your website, or improve systems with clarity Ryan and his team are your people. They are the BEST in the business.
Wonderful and prompt service, answered my constant questions and moved my project along with his always courteous and accessible staff. Ryan Doom is skilled, talented and creative with the integrity and one-on-one client care that you need when creating your website - especially for your own business. He also has good suggestions I never even knew about that I'm exploring now! Thank you Ryan and Web Ascender!
Our organization recently worked with Web Ascender on a web based mobile application. Our experience was fantastic. Their team did a great job of understanding our needs and communicating with us. We're very pleased with the results. We'd be happy to work with them again in the future!
I wish I could give more stars! I first came to Ryan with an idea about a website, and he suggested over-the-top features that I hadn't even considered. Amanda took it from there, working with me more closely, and together they brought my idea to life! The entire process has been a smooth one. Amanda and Ryan have demonstrated their command of their profession and created an awesome website that hits my every wish: professional, classy and sexy. Thank you!
I highly recommend Web Ascender for your website design and development needs. They make the whole process simple and easy, work within your budget and provide an end product that will exceed your expectations. Hats off to Ryan and his team for a job well done!
Ryan Doom and Amanda Klug worked on two projects for SYS Consulting Solutions. They were professional and responsive during the process of developing the new websites for our clients. I highly recommend their services and believe they were instrumental in improving member engagement for ANA-Illinois and the Illinois Nurses Foundation.
Don't even think about going anywhere other than Web Ascender! My website is small and inconsequential. However, WA handled my incessant questions with the utmost of professionalism and always made me feel like they appreciated my business. The result is an updated, more secure website. Happy clients is what we all seek; WA included. I fully recommend WA to anyone, as WA goes out of their way to help their clients!
