CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS

"A simple way to manage client project collaboration online. I have been looking for a way to organize all my project communication and collaborate online with clients and subcontractors all in one place. Previously email was the preferred method of communication, but its not ideal. Mavenlink allows me to keep all group communication in one place on one page. This keeps everyone on the same page with very little additional effort. Once implemented everyone I work with can be more efficient and clients feel like they are being kept in the loop. My goal is to work smart....not hard. Using Mavenlink with other google apps like Gist.com and Freshbooks.com is going to help me get there." - Taylor Miles

"The number of 'how are things going' emails I receive has dwindled down to almost none...just after using Mavenlink for a month." -Nola Cooper, Owner, Classic Creations Designs 

"Mavenlink is affordable. It is simple. It is like a file drawer or conference room accessible at all times by me and my client." -Connie Mableson, Partner, Mableson Law Group
