UI/UX & design

"Working with Audentio is a pleasure. The team brings a crucial mix of strategic guidance and technical expertise, and always with a can-do attitude. Audentio collaborates seamlessly with our in-house teams on continuously improving and supporting our ever-expanding community of dedicated Paradox fans. They’ve been and still are an exceptional partner. 10 out of 10 would work with Audentio again."

"I first met the Audentio team six years ago while leading a project to create a new membership offering. This included an online engagement platform, protected reports, and a secure single sign-on solution. Audentio delivered a timely, affordable, and excellent user experience. Recently, I asked Audentio to help us rebrand, create a new website, migrate and scrub data, and implement a new back-end architecture—all within 60 days during the holiday season. Mike and his team exceeded expectations, showcasing the power of a committed partnership. Audentio is more than a partner; they are an extension of our team, understanding our unique needs and delivering outstanding results. If you want a partner who invests in your relationship, Audentio is the one."

"I love working with Audentio! We started our productive collaboration through the MapTheCount project to support outreach efforts in the State of Illinois during the Census 2020, a high-stakes and fast-paced project. Our success was built on the mutual trust, commitment, and reliability, where everyone was a key player and contributor to the overall team. This strong collaboration led me to engage with Audentio again to develop a vision I had for participatory modeling to address many climate and social problems. This platform, which we named Fora.ai, allows people to engage with others through intuitive modeling of these problems, so that they can collaboratively design and test solutions, visualize the tradeoffs of each, and then deliberate to choose a solution to implement. Audentio has helped us create the visualizations and prototypes that are now generating significant interest and excitement. Audentio is not a developer team on standby, they’re one of us! They share our passion for what we do, providing support and expertise on strategy, through design and product, through our work with key stakeholders. They work from within our team, from start to finish, to see the job is done and done well."

"Community is core to our brand CubeCraft. Our forums were well overdue for an upgrade, we very rarely work with agencies but knew we didn't have the resource internally to grapple with Xenforo and get a product we'd be happy with. Audentio's reputation proceeded them - we were well aware of their prolific work in the Xenforo space and our friends at other Minecraft communities had used them before. Audentio worked with us to create a brand new look and feel for our forums. We provided them with all of our current art and brand assets and they applied this within the designs they produced. We were blown away when they took the initiative to try out a few iterations of our core brand logo - it wasn't originally within scope but we were very pleased with the outcome. One of the best things about working with Audentio is that it's partnership from the start with fresh ideas + feedback from both sides. The launch of the new brand and forums were incredibly well received by the community. We have seen increased engagement on our forums and are looking forward to continue to work with Audentio in the future."

"Audentio has been a wonderful partner for Ars Technica and helped us reimagine our entire forum and article commenting system. The engineering group is a smart, dedicated bunch; the project management team is detail-oriented and consistent. Audentio was able to interface with our in-house development and design expertise perfectly, giving us the right amount of help and guidance. I can heartily endorse Audentio - they get the job done!"

"Working with Audentio has been an absolute pleasure. The team is very well versed in the latest tech and are great communicators and strategists. Their contribution in the development of the forums and wikis at Paradox has revived the excitement of the users and the content creators alike. I would highly recommend their services for anyone looking to revamp their community platforms and strategy as a worthy partner."

"Mike and his team in Audentio were extremely fast and easy to work with. Our organizations partnered well and we all delivered on our very tight deadlines. This was a tough project for many reasons, but working together was a lot easier and we reached our goal in the end. I look forward to partnering with Audentio again!"

"XDA-Developers is one of the largest phone communities in the world, and one of the largest forums currently online with over 10 million members. We tasked Audentio with the seemingly impossible task of migrating us off of old vBulletin software to XenForo, which included the migration of tens of millions of posts, the creation of multiple custom theme templates, and the orchestration of ensuring a smooth transition for our users and tech stack. Working with Audentio was a great experience--from the project director, who was always very organized, to the front end specialist that had a deep understanding of UI and UX, and even to the owner himself, who helped oversee the project when needed---we felt confident using Audentio for this massive change to our website. They're truly a one-stop shop and we're so happy to have used them."

"Audentio has been a pleasure to work with. Not only is their work technically excellent, but they are also easy to communicate with and responsive to our needs and goals. We have been very happy with their work."

"It was difficult to find a live streaming solution that fit our specific needs until we partnered with Audentio. As we were preparing for our annual conference, Audentio worked with us every step of the way and were incredibly easy to work with. They delivered on all fronts — a customized streaming solution for our educational conference, a reliable live event with no issues, and wonderful support. We're happy with how the event turned out and are looking forward to continue working with Audentio for our next conference!"

"We hired Audentio to build a strong user experience and handle the upgrade and migration for our (arguably) ancient community platform. We ended up with a new, slick look and fully responsive page that will allow for more consistency with our users. Audentio's deep knowledge of forum communities and XenForo's templates and plugins made the process quick and efficient. The test migrations and migration itself went smoothly, and required minimal follow up. We will be contacting Audentio in the future as we figure out what other improvements we'd like to make!"

"Thanks to the team at Audentio. Really appreciated their hard work on this project. They handled every aspect of the redesign professionally and beyond our expectations. Kudos!"

"Ever eat at a really fantastic restaurant, and while you want to rave about it from the rooftops 'This is SO GOOD!', a part of you wants to keep it as your little secret so that the place doesn't get too crowded? For me, for forum design and add-ons, that's ThemeHouse. Mike and his team at ThemeHouse have been the indispensable authority on forum software customization and themes for me for more than 3 years, and I cannot recommend them enough. I've leaned on ThemeHouse's wisdom, the brilliance of elegant solutions Mike's team presents, and the clever - often critical! - features they create to bring to our communities. Their work on helping us upgrade AnandTech and bringing Tom's Hardware and Tom's Guide into the XenForo family of message boards has been utterly essential, and I'm grateful to be able to rely often on the enormous expertise that they have well-honed and refined. I actively and strongly recommend ThemeHouse to any fellow community management professionals looking to spiff up your forum presence. If you want the sharpest-looking forums, or if you want a feature that isn't available anywhere else, ThemeHouse is your go-to. I just hope they don't get too busy!"

"On the XenForo community forums they've got many active, support/customization threads going. Some are hundreds of pages long. These guys take being responsive to clients needs, to a whole other level."

"Trouble Free Pool’s mission has always been to offer nonbiased advice to our members how to best maintain their personal swimming pools. We do NOT accept any funds from companies as “donations” nor do we run advertising on our website. We do this so we avoid any temptation of swaying our advice to help “please” a cashcow. We must maintain a very tight budget and we must make sure all of our funding is spent well. When the decision was made to migrate we never once discussed work with Themehouse. The stigma from this forum was that they were simply too expensive for our budget. Worst decision we made. We at first worked with our host who also offered custom work as they seemed like the perfect fit. We had issues the entire time.  After 5months however of frustration I made a call to @Mike Creuzer. After about ten minutes on the phone I was left dazzled with the origination as a whole. We moved our site to their servers and went to work migrating our site. During the migration it was clear however there was a major roadblock in the way of discuss, me. As we went it was clear I offered unclear feedback and wasn’t able to clearly describe just what it was TFP wanted. After a discussion again with them over the phone I knew to step back and let them work. I’m glad I did! They went to work and the work they did was amazing. I cannot express how pleased both myself and our users have been. Sure there’s been a few negative comments but the bulk have all said the same, the site is so much cleaner, snappier, and more enjoyable to use. As for the concern of price, ThemeHouse did the migration to Xenforo, three custom Wordpress pages, a custom script to import DragonByte Gallery from vB4 to Xenforo, and the design of the forum all for roughly the same price of the other headaches we went through. They did the work in roughly two months with me and the holidays slowing things down along the way. ThemeHouse was simply amazing through the entire process. I cannot wait to earn some more funds to work with them in the future."

"It’s been a pleasure working with a responsive, helpful and friendly team. Talking Point is much loved and greatly needed by people affected by dementia and it has been incredibly helpful to work with such a knowledgeable and supportive team, so we could turn around the migration so quickly and bring the service back so our members could receive help and support."

"Yahoo has been working with Audentio for two years running and we couldn't be more impressed with their skills, professionalism and people. Message boards are the cornerstone of our high-volume site, and we rely heavily on Audentio's expertise with digital community platforms to offer a best-in-class user experience as well as extreme performance, speed and stability at scale. Every customization request we've thrown their way has been devoured and delivered with surprising speed. It has been one of the best developer relationships we've had in recent memory."
