      Jordan Ambron's Review Sourced from Google

      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.

      EIGHT25MEDIA was responsible for our business web design. They helped us end-to-end with our design, strategy and SEO. The whole Customer Success team has been incredibly helpful and responsive to the questions our team have had. Their advice and guidance has been thorough and concise. We would definitely recommend EIGHT25MEDIA to others.

      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!
