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)

WordPress Website Design Review from Michael Hamilton
Digital Silk was an exceptional partner in the design and development of NeuroAnimation's new website. Their team was very responsive and worked hard to accelerate the project to fit within a tight timeline. One thing that stood out while working with Digital Silk was the effort they invested in understanding our very unique business. They approached the project as though they were part of our own team, taking care to learn important details about our work, and that dedication was reflected in the quality and content of our new website. We are looking forward to continue our relationship with Digital Silk and would highly recommend them.

Web Design Review from Mark Stanson
We had an outstanding experience working with Art and the team at Consensus Creative. They originally designed our first website back in 2021, and when it came time for a complete rebuild, there was no question we went straight back to them.From start to finish, their team was collaborative, responsive, and genuinely invested in bringing our vision to life. They took the time to understand our business, offered thoughtful guidance throughout the process, and executed at a very high level.The end result is a website that not only looks exceptional but is also far more aligned with our goals moving forward. Their attention to detail and ongoing support have been second to none.We're confident this new site will have a meaningful impact on our business, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend Art and the team at Consensus Creative to anyone looking for a reliable, high-quality web partner.
WordPress Website Design Review from Rev Guill
...For The Best Website Design and Development Experience I Have Ever Had, "THANK YOU!"Art with Consensus Creative, his TEAM, and developer(s) have been so incredible over these past months to work with, to collaborate with, and quite honestly to get to know! After almost 20 years of working on "in house" websites, hiring multiple outside companies / agencies, or just finding the next person I could think of who could fix all our website needs, I knew we had grown to a point that we needed truly professional and top tier capabilities to move us forward. Now, that is what we have working with Consensus Creative.We were guided though the entire process - every step of the way. The follow up has been above and beyond in it's earnestness and timeliness. The results and experience have far exceeded the investment. So much so that we have already hired Consensus to take on another new website project for a sister company we own!This is like having a new member on my TEAM - finally someone we can expand with, and I would encourage anyone looking to grow their business, start with hiring Consensus Creative!
WordPress Website Design Review from Arendt Speser
We partnered with Consensus Creative for a complete rebrand and website redesign, including new brand assets, restructured content, and a full website launch with ongoing support. We chose them based on their strong reputation, fair pricing, and aligned values, and the experience fully lived up to our expectations. Art led the project and was highly responsive, communicative, and thoughtful throughout the entire process, including quick turnarounds on feedback through Figma. The quality of the design and deliverables was excellent, everything was delivered on time, and we felt we received outstanding value for our investment. We would confidently recommend Consensus Creative to any business looking for professional web design and branding support.

Valeria Semenova's Review Sourced from Google
When we first met, I knew Lazarev would be the right company to build the online version of our boutique design studio. Their attention to detail, while hand crafting an UI that resonates the brand well has been commendable. They designed something that really represents our aesthetic, while also providing a very seamless and beautiful shopping experience for our customers. The backend, meanwhile, is equipped with AI-enabled analytics to keep track of our customers' behaviors and help us to manage our stock levels. Lazarev's team proved to be respectful, careful and imaginative throughout the project, not just a service provider, but a real partner. Since launch, both our traffic and sales numbers have significantly increased, evidence of their hard work and expertise.

Joyce Britton's Review Sourced from Google
I’m a new travel advisor and was looking for someone to design a professional logo for my business. During my consultation with Omid at Mad Mind Studios, he was very attentive and took great care to understand the details of my business and how I wanted it represented. He demonstrated both deep knowledge and patience throughout the process.I originally reached out to Omid after seeing his impressive portfolio and glowing reviews online, and I can confidently say they are well deserved. Although I recently signed with a host agency that provides in-house logo design, so I didn’t end up moving forward with his services, I was very impressed by his professionalism, sincerity, and genuine desire to create the best product possible.I highly recommend Omid and Mad Mind Studios to anyone in need of design or marketing support. I will definitely keep him in mind for any future design or marketing needs.

Gabriel Liotta's Review Sourced from Google
I came to Mad Mind Studios with a lot of ideas but no clear direction on how to bring them to life. Not only did they turn everything into a cohesive vision, but they made all of my concepts connect seamlessly. Omid and Samuel are incredibly talented and truly committed—they won’t stop until you’re completely satisfied, even though they got everything right the first time. I’m beyond grateful for the work they did in bringing my foundation to life. They were the first and only studio I reached out to, and I still can’t believe how lucky I got!

Mobile App Development Review from DJA
We paid $117,000 across two contracts $68,000 for development and $49,000 for marketing to Naked Development for a consumer-ready iOS and Android app and a full marketing funnel.They delivered neither.We originally requested delivery by Black Friday, the most critical sales window for a parent-focused consumer app. Naked Development proposed December as an alternative. That deadline was their own suggestion. They missed it. We extended to January, then February, then April, then issued a formal written Notice of Breach before giving them one final deadline the following June. Every deadline was missed. We were over 300% over timeline.When we finally handed the codebase to a second development firm, the app would not build on either iOS or Android. We paid thousands just to get it running enough to assess the damage. The contracted team was never fully assembled. Tickets were put on hold without explanation. Subscription management, the most critical feature of the app, was broken for months and never fixed by Naked.The commercial video Naked produced was unusable by launch, as cultural references had gone stale during the delay.We are software engineers who have led teams of over 100. These were not minor issues. They were basic, objective engineering failures.When we raised breach concerns with founder John Driscoll, his response was "let's just let our lawyers talk about it."We are aware of more than a dozen other former clients who experienced similar issues. Do not recommend.
Mobile App Development Review from Mimi Bouchard
I hired Naked Development in 2022 to build a new version of my mobile app. I paid $203,000 upfront (spread over six months essentially everything I had saved from my first year in business), and was told the app would be completed in five months, by Fall 2022.Instead, the project turned into nearly a year of delays, almost done updates, and declining involvement from their team. My very small internal team and I ended up doing much of the project management and QA work ourselves because progress had stalled so severely. Despite constant reassurances, no functional product was ever delivered.By mid-2023, I hired multiple external development teams to assess the code. Every single one independently concluded that the app was non-functional, unstable, not scalable, and could not be launched. They warned it would crash immediately and required a complete rebuild. I then hired a neutral third-party auditor with zero connection to any agency and his report confirmed the same findings.After paying over $200K, I had nothing usable. When I factored in delays, internal time lost, expert audits, and the cost of rebuilding from scratch, the financial impact to my business exceeded $500,000.After multiple attempts to resolve the situation privately were unsuccessful, I filed a lawsuit, which is now a matter of public record (Superhuman Inc. v. Naked Development). The case is set for trial in early 2026. While litigation is never something a founder hopes for, at a certain point it became the only responsible path given the evidence and the financial damage.I strongly recommend extreme caution when considering this agency.
Mobile App Development Review from Jared Bossola
Working with people that are as creative as I am is awesome. Receiving top marks across the board, Naked. is an innovative team of artists. The client praises them for their outside-the-box thinking and ability to connect on a creative level. Throughout the project, they’ve demonstrated attentive service and communication.

It's been 6 months since we hired them and we went from averaging 1-2 new customers per month to 4-6 per month. They build a very professional website and got our phones ringing. After dealing with 2 other marketing agencies I was about to give up, glad a plumber buddy of mine gave me the referral.
