NFP service participants
Working with Heartburst was a great experience for our team. We were lucky enough to have Nick lead us through a very well thought out design session, Hermes on hand with very prompt updates / fixes, and the end product captured the look and feel that we were hoping for when we started the project. A big thank you to the whole team for all the hard work and collaborative approach.
