      I've visited here as a part of a UW course and I really love the space and staff. From the front desk person to the people giving us a tour around the place, they were all very nice and friendly. It's also decorated really well and really clean. They have this great wall art area by the front desk.

      EIGHT25MEDIA has been a pleasure to work with. Gishan and his team have been incredible throughout the process and post-launch of the website. They are the best web development team I've ever worked with. I could not recommend them enough. They are #1 in a lot of review for a reason. They are responsive, knowledgable, and go above and beyond for their clients. We love our website.

      Megan Folkman's Review Sourced from Google

      My company had a pretty horrible experience with this company! They overpromised and underdelivered, the project management experience was clunky, confusing and repetitive, there was a lot of work on the part of the client to complete (when you're paying $25K you'd expect it to be seamless). Topics during conversations were forgotten, instructions had to be repeated multiple times. Upon completion, we allowed one of our freelancers access to the coding and she deemed it "lazy coding." The whole experience was very unfortunate!
