“Working with Helicon has exceeded expectations. All too often in any relationship there is a tendency to not hold each other accountable. That did not happen with Josh. Scope of work was explored and defined. Deadlines were established and met (often ahead of schedule). Goals were clearly outlined and accomplished. While our new site is clearly a reflection of our business and we are very happy with the finished product and capabilities, we were even more impressed with the approach and process. If you are lucky enough to work with Josh and Helicon, do yourself a favor and just get started. They will not disappoint.”
– Berto Garcia, Proprietor: The Golden Hoosier
