Measuring Results with Analytics


August 2024

Hi,

At Freelock we're kicking off our long-anticipated "Vision" program, a series of newsletters, blog posts, and videos about website effectiveness. Before we get into the meat of things, we're setting the stage with the question, "How do we know if it worked?" And the answer is -- data.

So this month we're looking at a primary source of data, Website analytics.

Freelock has been a rock-solid, indispensable partner. They’re fast, efficient, patient—and they get the job done on time and to spec.

Robert Luhn, Director of Communications, National Center for Science Education

Customer Feedback

You have been one of the most responsive consultants that I've had to the opportunity to work with. Not only are you doing a great job with our maintenance plan but by sharing your steps of action, it only strengthens your ability and commitment to the client. Thank you Freelock!

Customer Feedback

I wanted to touch base and thank you for your team’s quality work on the FHCRC eagle-i connection project.  The system is live and in production – pushing our Drupal content automatically to Harvard’s system. We’re very grateful for all the efforts your crew put into this project! Freelock is on my speed dial for future projects!

Ann Marie Clark , Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center

Customer Feedback

Freelock has a deep bench in all things Drupal, but beyond the technical skills they also offer the much-appreciated ability to ask the right questions, articulate issues, and offer strong solutions. They were a true partner that went the extra mile amidst shifting priorities and deadlines. I look forward to a continued working relationship with the team at Freelock.

Deborah Gassner , UW Center for Reinventing Public Education

Customer Feedback

As the coordinator for the Olympic Peninsula Tourism Commission, I direct staff and contractors in projects for the OPTC, including the contractor selection, design and build of the new website. Freelock was chosen and did the work as expected with great results. I heartily recommend them for other work of this nature. Their customer service and personal approach sets them apart from the crowd.

Diane Shostak, Executive Director , Olympic Peninsula Tourism Commission

Customer Feedback

Again, good job on the site. Unfortunately, most people won't be able to tell just how cool it really is. There is definitely a better look and feel on the outside, but where it really shines is under the hood. In today's world of crappy software vendors who provide crappy products and next to zero service at premium prices, it's refreshing to work with someone who is honest, thorough, reasonable and willing to do what it takes to meet the customer's needs.
