At Murmur Creative, we found a branding and website design agency that truly delivers. Their versatility in both branding and digital design impressed us right from the start.

When it comes to e-commerce web design, Murmur Creative shines. They create visually stunning and user-friendly online stores that engage customers and drive sales. 

We were impressed when we tried navigating one of the online stores they designed. Checking out felt seamless, which helps minimize those annoying cart abandonment rates. Their fully responsive designs look great too whether it’s on a phone or desktop.

But it doesn’t stop there—Murmur also nails packaging design. One of the things they mentioned when we talked with them is that the packaging designs are crucial for making a great first impression. 

They also added that designs communicate brand values and messages effectively while also being functional and environmentally friendly. We appreciated that level of thoughtfulness, and it’s clear it’s something their clients love too.

While their transparent pricing structure offers great value, some clients might find certain services a bit on the pricier side compared to other agencies. 

Great logo and a slick website that represents us

“Working with murmur did not only result in a great logo and a slick website that represents us and our philosophy but they helped us tackle important conversations and discussions that improved our overall brand and the clarity of our mission.
