Next Step

Next step is a group of dedicated and talented people who came together to create a very personal and professional experience for their clients. I have been referred to them by Shirin. They listen to your needs and care for you success. They are very aware of the complexity of the projects and hold your hand through the whole process.

I recommended Next Step to my organization based on a reference and the Unilocal reviews. Shirin and her team were awesome to work with. It was a highlight of my tenure. Creativity, knowledge and great communications – what more can any organization ask for? I highly recommended them to design your nonprofit website!

I’ve been working with Shirin and the NextStep team for more than eight years now. They’ve built and maintain four separate sites for me. Each one is a little different from the others. Regardless of the complexity of each site, NextStep has been able to put together EXACTLY what was needed. Their work is creative, efficient, and user-​friendly.

Look no further for a web designer. There is simply none better.
Our firm hired Next Step e-​Solutions to revamp our website in late 2010-​early 2011. We have used them since then, as well, for site maintenance and alterations ever since.
There is very little to say about the work that Next Step produces, since its superior quality speaks for itself (view their work on our site at:
).
What is not readily recognizable is the manner in which Next Step deals with their clients. From the first day, our firm was treated as though we were the company’s most important client. Shirin and her team were quick to respond to our needs, easily accessible to us at all times and more than willing to work closely with us each step of the way. The result was an amazing website that surpassed our already high expectations.
We would highly recommend Next Step to anyone.

Hi all I’m a Professor at Stanford and we akse Nextstep to help us with our department website. I can assure you the are the best.

I’ve known Shirin, the founder of Next Step, through EO (Entrepreneurs Organization). Last fall I reached out to explore partnership opportunities for several of our client sites. This is what we like about them:
1) They are full service agency and can help our clients with everything from Strategy to Custom Design (both for Web & Print), Development, Copywriting, Photography, Post launch Support, etc. This was important to us because we know firsthand the pain of having to manage multiple vendors.
2) They have a research-​based design methodology. They don’t just make pretty looking websites, but their sites are grounded in principals of human psychology so they actually convert more visitors into leads.
3) Their team is based in San Francisco, so they know the startup culture well.
4) They are consistently fast, efficient, reliable & responsive.
There’s a sea of web dev agencies out there, but they stand out.

I’ve known Shirin and the Next Step team for a year as of this writing. What I think sets them apart from their competitors is how they use the science of behavioral economics to optimize the design of their clients’ websites. This makes visitors more likely to engage in the site and take the actions that the site owner is seeking. Plus, Shirin’s business ethics and acumen are outstanding!

I run a healthcare software company in SF and got referred to NextStep by an advisor. They helped us build out 2 websites. The reason we chose them is because they incorporate behavioral economics (the science behind how people make decisions). This was important for us because we have a complex sales cycle. The team has been very responsive, even well after we went live, and met their timelines. I’ve worked with several agencies over the years and they may be the only ones that actually met their deadlines. I’ve already referred them to several other startups in the healthcare space.

Shirin and the staff at Next Step e-​Solutions are top of the line! They have helped me understand how things work with search engines and how to get your company found on Google. If you own a business and are not 100% confident in sending clients to your website then you need to call Shirin asap! Also they have helped me learn more about social media and how it can help boost my business. Great company with good people and great results!

«The next step team have been our marketing, internet and business consultants for more than 7 years. They’re absolutely the best. I recommend them to anyone out there who is looking to grow and market their business.»

Molly & Co. were outstanding in their communication with us as we were looking for a partner to relaunch our site. The proposal was addressing our needs, the pricing competitive, and the presentation professional. Even though we decided on a different approach, I would always consider NextStep as a partner in the future, and so should you.

The team at NextStep are total pros. I met with Shirin and gave her an extensive wishlist of upgrades and changes I wanted done with my site (
). Not only did her team make all of the changes and suggest and implement a lot of improvements, they completely reworked my site «under the hood» to make it faster and more functional. And they made my site mobile, which is essential for any website these days. I continue to use NextStep to upgrade, edit and improve my site and happily recommend them.
