"Since joining the Hudson Valley Chamber of Commerce..., I have worked very closely with the staff from KutterGroup on several website projects. We first brought a very outdated site up to a very usable standard, and then began work on a completely new site. Having just completed most of the work on the new site I can say without reservation that KutterGroup has outstanding work ethics and skills! They have gone beyond what was expected many times, which has encouraged us to give their names to several businesses that were looking for website help. We hope to continue to use their services for a long time to come and to share their name with others."

"KutterGroup has brought a high level of navigational creativity and structural flexibility to MBS Associates' new website. Jim Kutter has worked closely with our staff right from the start. We were able to get our new site built and live on a tight schedule and continue to add content and new features with excellent support from KutterGroup."

"Jim Kutter has been an incredible asset for the Paramount Center for the Arts since I first took the job as Executive Director in 2003... He created and implemented the entire "back-end" of our website, and designed an effective and streamline content management system with which we can manage and maintain information and images on our site in real time. Jim always makes himself available to the Paramount for trouble-shooting, advice, and feedback. Simply put, the Paramount would not have the internet presence and efficiency if not for Jim. We are deeply grateful for his expertise and generosity, both of which have greatly aided our organization immeasurably."
