A Rebranded Agency With a Long Track Record

Hexxen is the current name for a St. Louis-based agency with more than 20 years of history under prior names including Web Design and Company and Orange Design. That history matters for evaluating the firm: most of its public reviews were written under those earlier names, so the review record reflects the same team and delivery model, but prospective clients researching “Hexxen” specifically will find limited reviews under the current brand and should search the prior names to get the full picture.

Capabilities

Hexxen positions itself around the tagline “Design. Code. Rank. Grow,” and its service list backs that up with unusual development depth for a marketing agency: custom, non-templated web design; technical and local SEO; PPC and social media management; full-stack development including custom applications and API work built on frameworks like Laravel, Node, and React; branding and media production (logo design, video, photography); and backend software automation, dashboards, and reporting infrastructure. It serves a mix of medium and large businesses and some Fortune 500 clients across legal, healthcare, home services, fintech, franchise, and manufacturing sectors, with law firm clients including several named personal injury practices.

The Client Experience, According to Reviews

The dominant theme across roughly 40 reviews is thoroughness and in-house control. Multiple clients specifically contrast Hexxen with prior vendors who outsourced work or disappeared after the sale, describing instead a team — founder David Kley, along with Kara, Brennan, Davy, and others named repeatedly — that stays engaged for years, checks in proactively on strategy, and handles design, content, and SEO in-house rather than farming it out. One healthcare client with a five-year relationship reports website traffic growing from roughly 20,000 to 70,000+ annual visitors and appointment requests increasing more than tenfold since bringing SEO and web work in-house with Hexxen. Several reviewers describe results measured in real business terms — increased sales, quote requests jumping from a couple a week to 15-20 a day — rather than vague visibility claims.

Where the Record Gets Mixed

Two reviews break from the otherwise strongly positive pattern, both centered on pre-engagement responsiveness rather than delivered work quality. One reviewer reports calling and leaving a voicemail that was never returned. A second, more detailed complaint describes being repeatedly delayed and ultimately stood up for a scheduled discovery call, then never receiving a promised follow-up email or proposal — an experience the reviewer says raised doubts about the company’s overall client-handling discipline. Both complaints are about the front end of the sales process rather than the quality of completed design, development, or SEO work, which is a meaningfully different risk than complaints about delivered results.

The Rebrand Question

Firms doing due diligence should account for the fact that Hexxen’s name change is recent relative to its review history — the vast majority of the roughly 40 Google reviews still reference “Web Design and Company” or “Orange Design,” with only a small number of newer reviews using the Hexxen name directly. This isn’t a red flag by itself; the tagline, staff names, and address are consistent across the transition, and reviewers describing multi-year relationships appear to be the same client base regardless of which name is on the door. But it does mean a firm searching only for “Hexxen reviews” will undercount the actual evidence available, and should specifically search the prior names to see the full history before drawing conclusions from review volume alone.

Fit Considerations

Because Hexxen’s client base and reviews are mostly non-legal, firms should ask directly for law firm-specific case studies and current legal client references rather than relying on the broader small-business track record alone. Pricing isn’t published. The agency’s development depth — custom applications, APIs, automation — is a genuine differentiator for firms with technical needs beyond a standard marketing site, but that same complexity may be more capability than a smaller firm needs.

Best Fit

Hexxen suits medium-to-large law firms or firms with more complex technical requirements — custom intake tools, integrations, multi-location SEO — that want an agency capable of handling both marketing and software development under one roof, and that are comfortable being an early legal client of a firm whose deepest track record is in other industries. Solo or small firms looking purely for standard website-and-SEO service, without the added development capability, may find a legal-specialist boutique a simpler fit. See how it compares in our website design agency rankings and our personal injury agency rankings.

What Clients Say

Hexxen's review history, mostly filed under its former names (Web Design and Company, Orange Design), is largely positive on responsiveness, thoroughness, and in-house delivery, with founder David Kley and staff like Kara, Brennan, and Davy named repeatedly across engagements ranging from website redesigns to SEO to app development. Long-tenured clients describe multi-year relationships with steady traffic, lead, and ranking gains, and several contrast the agency favorably against past outsourced or unresponsive vendors. Two reviews break from this pattern: one client says calls and a voicemail went unanswered, and another describes being repeatedly stood up for a scheduled call and never receiving a promised proposal. The bulk of the review history reflects general small-business clients rather than law firms specifically, though the agency does list law firm clients.

Pros

  • ✓ Thorough, in-house web design, SEO, and development work
  • ✓ Named staff praised for responsiveness across years
  • ✓ Reported traffic, lead, and ranking gains
  • ✓ Long client tenures with repeat/expanded engagements

Cons

  • − Isolated reports of unreturned calls and missed follow-up during initial outreach
  • − Review history is mostly under prior agency names and skews to non-legal small businesses

Axes Physical Therapy has partnered with Hexxen for more than five years, and the impact on our business has been exceptional. From day one, their team has been strategic, responsive, and genuinely invested in our success. David Kley (owner) is a wizard, and the rest of the team is just as exceptional. (Shout out Kara Drew, you're the best!) When we began working with Hexxen’s SEO and digital marketing experts in 2020, our website averaged around 20,000 annual visitors and a little over 100 online appointment requests. Today, thanks to their targeted local SEO, Google Business optimization, and ongoing website support, we’re on track to exceed 70,000 visitors and more than 1,500 online appointment requests this year—all from organic growth. Their data-driven approach, clear communication, and understanding of both healthcare marketing and multi-location SEO have made them an invaluable extension of our internal marketing team. Whether it’s content strategy, web design, or analytics tracking, Hexxen consistently delivers results that move the needle. We highly recommend Hexxen to any business—locally here in St. Louis or nationwide—looking for a trusted, high-performing partner in SEO, web design, and online visibility.

Called and couldn't get through. No reply to the message left.

★★★★★ Ian H. September 2024

This is my first time using a company like this and I couldn't be more impressed by the job that they do! Not only would I consider myself pretty green when it comes to understanding website design, but I'm even greener when it comes to SEO. Luckily for me, these guys make it a priority to go above and beyond in not only providing a high quality service, but keeping me informed on a regular basis with things I should be looking out for, and how we can continue to improve our strategies, with the results speaking for themselves. With the help of Kara, David, Brennan and Eric, I couldn't be more comfortable in knowing the vision of our company is in safe hands, with the most creative minds and exceptional people who we trust and consider part of our extended team.

★★★★★ Steven W. April 2024

David and his team went above and beyond in helping create my law firms new website. His team leaves no stone unturned from pictures to content to SEO strategies to design and page layout. Incredibly thorough and easy to work with to get your exact brand and message across to consumers. Would highly highly highly recommend!

★★★★★ Christopher C. April 2024

Hiring a digital advertising, SEO, web development company is a very tough decision. It is a business market where companies can look great online, present well in a meeting and then take your money and outsource everything. I have had terrible experiences prior to engaging with Web Design and Company. I have now been with them for over 2 years and I feel incredibly lucky to have them on my team. Everything is completed 'in house', you can get a response on any question during a project almost immediately by email and if you ever want to have an in person meeting to discuss strategy the entire team (including the owner) will sit down with you and walk you through every step. My website traffic has increased, my business has grown, their agency has far exceeded my expectations. If I could give 10 stars I would.

★☆☆☆☆ Devon M. July 2023

As a small business owner seeking to redesign my website, I was excited to support a fellow local business. After reading positive reviews, I decided to reach out to Web Design and Company online for more information about their services. Maya, one of their representatives, inquired about my availability for a quick call to discuss my needs. I promptly informed her that I was available immediately or after 2:30 PM. Maya responded with a message stating that she would reach out to me around 3:45 or 4 PM. However, as the clock neared 4:45, I reluctantly gave up and left the office. It was later relayed to me by my assistant that Maya finally called at 5 PM, mentioning that she had been stuck in a meeting but would send an email with a proposal. Now, the next morning has arrived, and I have yet to receive any call or email. As someone who values punctuality and respects the commitments I make, I cannot express how deeply let down I am by their lack of consideration for my time. I had cleared my schedule and eagerly anticipated our meeting, only to be left waiting and feeling disrespected. This kind of behavior not only reflects poorly on their professionalism but also raises doubts about their ability to effectively handle web design projects. In good conscience, I cannot recommend the services of Web Design and Company to anyone. They have demonstrated a clear disregard for client satisfaction and respect for their clients' time. As a fellow small business owner, I firmly believe in supporting local businesses, but unfortunately, Web Design and Company fails to meet the standards one would expect. Spare yourself the frustration and seek out a web design company that truly values professionalism, reliability, and respects the time of their clients.

★★★★★ Mark G. November 2022

Orange Design is, simply put, the best. My organization contracted Orange to design and launch our website, and we couldn’t be happier or more impressed. The Orange Design & Company team puts customer service first, and backs up their world class support with the highest standards of professionalism. To place your trust in David Kley and his team, is to know that your project will be given the best. Give them a call today, and find out what amazing services Orange will provide for you!

★★★★★ Connor M. August 2021

I can not say enough positive things about Web Design and Company and the team that works there. Dave, Brennan and Emily are truly wonderful to work with. I came to them last year looking to do a complete website overhaul and SEO program and the results were 1000% times better than expected. They were always in contact with me and left no detail behind. After one year of running the new site and SEO program we have seen a HUGE increase in our sales and leads! Went from about 1-2 quote requests a week to 15-20 per day! They also check in often to see how we can improve the site and SEO plan to make sure we are getting the most out of our site. I would highly recommend using Web Design and Company for your next website or SEO project!

★★★★★ Matthew D. December 2020

I had the Best experience with Web Design & Company! Maya & Adam were super accommodating to my specific needs. As an entrepreneur in the music industry, I am always involved in a few different projects at a time & they did everything they could to help me take my websites to the next level. I would highly recommend them as a solution for your online business needs.

★★★★★ Julie November 2020

This team is hands down the best. The communication is impeccable. They know what they're doing out there more than any other company I've came across. They have helped revamp and redesign a website for an orthopedic group I am employed by. There are no hidden contracts, everything is explained right out as clear as can be and their team really knows their stuff. Couldn't have asked for a smoother process than this. They're cutting edge and are #1 for a reason. You won't regret going with them. Thank you Dave, Brennan, Davy, Adam, Kelly and everyone else who have helped make OISI a beautiful new website. <3

Dave and team are phenomenal! I would highly recommend them for anyone looking for design and development. They were instrumental in the creation of my app! Very attentive and detail oriented. Really listened to what mattered and made suggestions that aligned with my vision.

★★★★★ Matthew B. July 2020

Our website was pushing 12 years old and our company, based in St. Louis as well, was in desperate need for a new site development. Some of the problems we were experiencing with our old site were that a) the theme was so old and some of the plugins no longer supported that the site was being held together by bandaids, and b) the sheer size of the site, which pushed over 1,300 pages (including our entire project portfolio). The old site had certainly long outlived it's intended life. We chose Web Design through an RFP process based on their experience, ability to effectively describe how they expected to respond to some of the challenges with building the new site (we got some fluff from other companies who responded) including the need to accurately migrate our entire project portfolio of 1260 projects over to the new site, their knowledge of WordPress and WooCommerce, and their ability to implement custom solutions. The team was great to work with as they provided the mockups of the design of each of the pages and page templates, and then kept us informed throughout the actual development, launch, and our post-launch needs. This massive project took nearly eight months, and the final product was a beautiful, modern site launched to correspond with our company's 50th anniversary. The way they built it was so intuitive it's actually a joy now to work on it on the backend (we have three people in our company responsible for the maintenance of our site). It's easy to update, maintain, and ensures a positive customer and user experience on all accounts. Web Design did a wonderful job and we are very pleased with their work and the end result. We plan to continue to use them in the future for our web projects.

★★★★★ Elizabeth H. July 2020

Where do I even start? BEST company to work with! Very creative team, super responsive, friendly, patient, and professional. I wouldn't trust my website with anyone else. From start to finish, they always made me feel like a priority and took the time to listen to what I wanted. Thank you Web Design and Company for all that you have done and I look forward to working with you all for many years to come.

★★★★★ Dulany's P. May 2020

★★★★★ Richard P. March 2020

David & his team are real pros and did great work on our new site build. Previously we were at another firm and they were both unprofessional & deceptive. WDAC rescued us from that train wreck ....Thanks David!

★★★★★ Ellen E. September 2019

David Kley and his staff are great. They designed a fabulous website for us and have done a great job with search engine optimization and ongoing social media posting.

★★★★★ Weis S. July 2019

David and his team listen to what you want to accomplish, then present concepts, design and common sense to develop websites that are not only informative, but visually appealing and easily navigated. Always ahead of the curve with the latest search parameters from Google and implementing key strategies to get the most from you Adwords budget. They will solidify your online reputation and clean up misleading or erroneous information that may be out there. As a small business owner and you have so many irons in the fire, its nice to know this is one you can let them handle. We highly recommend them for your digital presence.

★★★★★ John F. January 2019

Davy, David and the rest of the Web Design and Company team were a dream to work with. Responsive, attentive, and open-minded, they were a great partner to have in the process of redesigning our website. The end-result is better than I could've expected and the support they provided (and continue to provide) is second to none. I highly recommend them for your next project.

★★★★★ Aaron N. March 2018

I work professionally with Web Design and Company and have been very pleased with the quality of service and level of professionalism they have provided.

★★★★★ Heather M. March 2018

The team at Web Design & Company did a great job managing my SEO and website over the past (almost) year. They were able to handle things I would never have had the knowledge to do, and I saw ranking improvements as a result of their efforts. If you need SEO or web services, I highly suggest meeting with their team! They're so great to work with!

★★★★★ Christopher D. February 2018

David Kley and his company have been a breath of fresh air. For a business owner busy serving clients, website design can be confusing and time consuming. David and his team have helped us achieve great results and simplified the process. I highly recommend the Website Design and Company for your online needs.

★★★★★ Scott M. November 2017

Great company and great crew. They have done a great job for us so far.

★★★★★ Mike B. June 2017

For anyone considering a website redesign, I would highly recommend WDAC. First class organization. We have been with them for about 5 months now. Our launch was flawless and our numbers are better than ever. We are really happy with the service they provide.

★★★★★ Brittney A. June 2017

I have used Web Design and Company for all of my marketing and SEO services for 2 years. They have done such a wonderful job promoting my business and helping get us where we are today. If I ever had any questions, or needed to discuss my services in anyway, I have always gotten a timely response. Their willingness to help and their amazing quality of work has been the best I've experienced. I would not hesitate to recommend them to any friends or family looking for any web design, marketing, and SEO services in the St. Louis area.

★★★★★ Heli P. September 2016

I was seeking a qualified company to remake my website. I had gone to friends before as well as home-based web designers. Repeatedly paid for unfinished work or sub-par work. I called David at Web Design & Company and right away it was obvious I was dealing with professionals. He invited me and my wife to their brick n mortar storefront. He reviewed everything that could be improved and why what I had was not working for me in a language that made sense to the both of us. A website is a large investment but also the first impression (usually) a potential client gets of one's business. I am SO HAPPY we went with David. Not only is my company fresh and modern looking - I can actually be found on-line. Everything I asked for I received. Other web designers would tell me they 'could' but never followed through and always made up excuses. I have a great contact form, great landing pages, a BETTER domain name and what we do is conveyed clearly page after page. The images are great and non-generic. I have already told two of my business friends they need to use Web Design & Company. NEVER was I left hanging without a returned email or phone call. His staff always answered questions as well and they got me up and running within my budget. ZERO frustrations as their initial questionnaire gave them an excellent road map to follow and nail what I was looking for. If I need anything else I'll ask them - I'm not leaving. They also modernized my logo to have a better appeal to the type and level of client I am seeking.

★★★★★ Tracey B. September 2016

When it comes to your online presence it is important to hire not only someone with a lot of knowledge. But someone who listens to what you are looking for, someone who wants to help you achieve your goals. I found Dave very knowledgable and helpful. Dave listened to what I wanted and with his expertise put our website in the right direction. We couldn't have been more happier with the service and personalization we received from Web Design and Company. Definitely worth our investment!

★★★★★ Cullen W. September 2016

I first met David and the WDAC team through a shared client where we watched them increase the rankings for that client's sites in a very competitive market. Since then, we have worked with WDAC on several projects and know they are building solid solutions and SEO campaigns that get results. I would definitely recommend them.

★★★★★ Happy M. August 2016

The team over at Web Design and Company was nothing short of excellent to work with. They went above and beyond of what we were expecting and also took the time explain things as we are not in the field. I'm actually already discussing future projects with David w/out having completed the first one. Would highly recommend.

★★★★★ Gene H. December 2015

We hired Dave and his staff to design a brand new website for our firm and handle all of our SEO and web marketing. I am very pleased with the look and feel of our new website. It's easy to navigate, informative, and reflects our brand and attributes. Dave and his staff are knowledgeable and easy to work with - they just 'get it'. Now, we are very excited to see WD&Co do its magic to get us ranked high and our new website found by perspective clients!

★★★★★ Liz K. October 2015

We worked with David on a recruitment website for our company and definitely made the right choice. We compared 3 different companies and Web Design and Company won hands down. Their ideas were fresh, innovative, and on the cutting edge of technology. I'm pretty picky when it comes to project management and overall design concept but never had one complaint. In fact, in the end, the project exceeded my expectations. Thanks Dave!

★★★★★ Road R. September 2015

Fast professional service. If any issues came up they were very fast to fix. The design and functionality of our website is outstanding. I would highly recommend WD&C for your business.

★★★★★ joe G. September 2015

Excellent work. Quick, Fast in a Hurry. Priced appropriately. Great Job!

★★★★★ Jon F. September 2014

Our website ranking on Google was coming up on page 10. We rarely picked up any new customers from our website and did not know how to fix it. All of the SEO companies we interviewed explained the full process of SEO and why our website was not ranking. Of the three companies we interviewed, we felt David and his team at Website Design and Company were the most qualified to transform our website the right way and get us ranking on page 1 and ahead of our customers. Since we hired them, they have been communicating with us weekly to keep us updated on all progress. They took the time to explain the analytics and how we could make additional changes to continuously improve our SEO. We are now starting to pick up new customers from our website and been given a lot of positive feedback on the changes from our older customers. SEO takes time and you want the right qualified team working on your website. Take the time to do the research. Interview David and his company and you too will feel confident they can transform/optimize your website with great results.

★★★★★ Craig B. July 2014

These guys know a lot about search optimization, and have the ability to educate you on the many different things that are going on in that ever-changing SEO world. I was very pleased with the service they provided to me, and would recommend anyone looking to boost their rankings to give them a shot.

★★★★★ Dennis C. June 2014

The is without a doubt the best SEO company I have ever worked with, I have had a website for over eight years and have used about 5 different SEO companies. None of them can even come close to Web Design and Company. To start off with most of them want to sell you back end links with little to no SEO to your website. David and company makes sure the health of your website is search engine friendly before moving forward. In other words they give your website a complete tune up. Any time i have called them they have been there for me. I would highly recommend them for any of your websites needs. I just wish I would have found them years ago.

★★★★★ Mark B. May 2014

I hired David of Web Design and Company after talking to a few different companies and already having a company in place working on SEO. I decided to make the change and am glad I did. We started with a rebuild of my website and have since been working on my SEO. I have been receiving a steady stream of calls and online estimate requests for my services, much more than previous years and more than when the other SEO company was handling things. In just a few short weeks we already have the number 1 listing for my service in my city. Thanks David
