Digital Silk Reviews & Testimonials

WordPress Website Design Review from Lauren Maffei Johnson
Our company had such a wonderful experience with this team! Their design work is top-notch, and they did a really wonderful job of walking us through the process, but also finding ways to go above and beyond with things we needed additional help with, such as connecting Google Analytics. Highly recommend and would use again.

The final product has brought immense satisfaction. With the ability for viewers to see available properties, there's been a noticeable increase in leasing activity. Additionally, more individuals are initiating contact for potential development ventures. Baunfire's team stands out for its remarkable creativity, consistently showcasing innovative ideas and solutions that defy convention. (Verified via email)

Web Design Review from Kristen Garcia
Content Magazine is pleased with the website, finding it valuable for its organization. The client entrusted Baunfire with its ideas and shared the desired outcome. In response, Baunfire crafted a design aesthetic that stands out in their local area. The visual display exceeds Content Magazine's initial expectations. Moreover, Baunfire has made the website more user-friendly, especially on the backend. Also, Content Magazine can now update the website independently. (Verified via email)

Web Design Review from Guillaume Bienaime
Baunfire designed and developed Zola's WordPress website from scratch. Initially, Zola shared its ideas, examples of preferences, and necessary content. They then collaborated through multiple drafts until finalizing the design. From there, Baunfire proceeded to build the site. The website allows customers to make reservations, view the menu, and access essential information, such as the restaurant's operation hours. (Verified via email)

ANML Reviews & Testimonials

Product Design Review from Manuel Colom
Working with ANML on the Yummly app experience and the Yummly Smart Thermometer (IoT) was an outstanding collaboration. Yummly combined personalized recipe discovery, meal planning, and guided cooking into a highly curated food experience, while the Smart Thermometer extended that ecosystem into connected cooking with real-time temperature tracking and assisted preparation workflows. As Director of UX at Yummly, I worked closely with ANML throughout both initiatives, and they operated almost as a seamless extension of our internal design team. Their work consistently demonstrated excellent design craft, strong product thinking, and a highly collaborative mindset. Beyond delivering high-quality UX and visual design, their contribution helped sharpen and strengthen the overall value proposition of the products by making complex cooking experiences feel approachable, premium, and intuitive for users.

Web Design Review from Nathan Thornburgh
As Anthony Bourdain's partners, we were approached by CNN to create an immersive digital site that would provide a beautiful home for each destination covered by Bourdain's show Parts Unknown. It was a huge task not least because there were already close to 100 destinations to integrate into a usable global site. But also because the site was meant to live up to the beauty and aesthetic of the television program. And it needed to be done in a way that satisfied both our mainstream luxury advertisers (like LandRover, ANA, and more) but also the famously high standards of Bourdain himself. ANML engaged in this 18-month design and build process with outstanding workmanship and creative decision-making. They navigated wildly different and demanding stakeholders. And in the end they built a site that still looks fresh even nearly a decade later. If you want to make lasting work, there is no one else I could recommend more.

Web Design Review from Alex Lacerda
We partnered with ANML to evolve our digital experience in a way that stayed true to our brand while modernizing how we present our products and story. As a company with a long history in music, it was important to find a partner who could respect that legacy while helping us move forward.ANML took the time to understand our brand, our audience, and the role our products play for musicians. They built on our existing foundation and translated it into a more cohesive and intuitive experience that better reflects who we are today.Their team brought strong thinking across UX and design, helping us improve how content is structured, how products are presented, and how users navigate the experience. The collaboration was smooth and highly responsive throughout.The end result is a more polished and modern experience that still feels authentic to our brand. ANML was a thoughtful and reliable partner, and we would highly recommend them.
