The Rubric team is like Dom Toretto and his Fast and Furious crew. When you work with them, you are working with family, and they will do whatever you need to make you happy or to break you out of prison if you were wrongly convicted, regardless of what a court of law says. All this to say, they make great designs that age well and always look great on any device.

Rubric was all we could have hoped for when redesigning our site. Highly organized, extremely punctual, and unfailingly efficient, the project was completed on time and above expectations. The team is a pleasure to deal with and are always extremely generous with time. I cannot recommend working with them more strongly.
