Quick answer: The Optimal Websites Clutch award came in 2022, when Clutch named Optimal Websites one of the top web design companies in Peru during its annual Clutch Leaders Awards. Clutch bases these awards partly on client reviews, and our profile still holds a 5.0 average rating. We followed it with Clutch Top Web Design Company recognition in 2023.
When you hire a web designer, you are trusting someone with the first impression your business makes online. Independent reviews are one of the few ways to check that trust before you sign. That is why the Optimal Websites Clutch award meant so much to our team. In May 2022 we shared the news that, during the annual Clutch Leaders Awards, Optimal-Websites was named one of the finest web design companies in Peru for 2022. This updated post explains the award, what Clutch measures, what has happened since and how to use reviews like these when you choose an agency.
Key Takeaways
- In 2022, Clutch named Optimal Websites one of the top web design companies in Peru in its annual Clutch Leaders Awards.
- Client reviews are one of the variables Clutch takes into account, so the award reflects real client feedback.
- Our Clutch profile shows a 5.0 average rating from client reviews.

What is the Optimal Websites Clutch award?
The Optimal Websites Clutch award is our recognition as a 2022 Clutch Leader, naming us one of the finest web design companies in Peru that year. It was announced during Clutch’s annual Clutch Leaders Awards.
At the time, our team was based in Miraflores, Peru, which is why the recognition sits in Clutch’s Peru rankings. Our original announcement put it simply: “It’s a great honor to be a five-star partner and a Clutch 2022 Leader!” The award went to the whole team, and it was earned through the trust of the clients who reviewed our work.
Today, Optimal Websites, a WordPress web design agency based in Delaware, works with clients all over the world, and our whole team works remotely. The same focus that earned the 2022 award still drives every project: fast, mobile-first, conversion-focused websites built with WordPress and Elementor Pro.
What is Clutch and how are its awards decided?
Clutch is a B2B review platform from Washington, DC, dedicated to publishing data-driven content, market research and company rankings. Every year, it recognizes top-performing companies that show strong expertise and the ability to deliver.
Firms chosen for these awards are selected through Clutch’s evaluation methodology. One of the variables taken into account is client reviews. That matters for you as a buyer: an award that depends partly on what real clients say is more useful than a badge a company can simply buy.
You can see our current rating and reviews on our Clutch profile, and you can compare other firms in Clutch’s directory of web designers in Peru, where Optimal-Websites is listed with a 5.0 rating.
What has changed since the 2022 Clutch award?
A lot has changed in how we work, but not why clients hire us. Here is a quick view of our recognition and how the business looks today.
| Year | Recognition or milestone |

| 2022 | Clutch Leader: one of the top web design companies in Peru (Clutch Leaders Awards) |
| 2022 | Featured in a DesignRush QuickSights release on web design companies |

J. Collins Law and E & S Construction Engineers. You can browse recent client websites to see the range.
Why do Clutch reviews matter when you choose a web designer?
Clutch reviews matter because they show how an agency treats real clients, not just how its own website describes itself. They help you check communication, timelines and quality before you commit.
When you read reviews for any agency, look for:
- Specific projects. Reviews that describe the type of site, the problem and the result are more useful than general praise.
- Communication. Did the team respond quickly and explain decisions clearly?
- Timelines and budgets. Did the project launch when promised and at the agreed price?
- Recency. A strong review from last year tells you more than one from five years ago.
- Fit. Has the agency worked with businesses like yours?
