      Austin rebuilt our website from the ground up and helped turn Bespoke Tint & PPF into one of the top tint brands in Bellevue. The work started with a full redesign of our website, including branding, copywriting, conversion improvements, mobile optimization, and development. The new site immediately performed better and generated more leads after launch.After the website launch, we continued working together on SEO, AI search optimization, paid advertising support, analytics, A/B testing, and ongoing marketing strategy. He also helped improve our review visibility, local search presence, and overall positioning online.What started as a website project became an ongoing growth partnership focused on increasing traffic, leads, and customer acquisition.

      am on the board of a 1274 home development that engaged Design Alternatives to renovate our relatively large clubhouse. Each phase of the project from inspiration through completion was done tastefully, with class and high quality workmanship. The physical renovation as well as all furnishings strove for perfection and it was delivered it as such. DA is highly professional and it was a pleasure to work with their team of designers and all renovation workers- and the end result is fabulous. Our homeowners love it, are proud of it, and frequent it more than before because of it being extremely welcoming as well as comfortable. Thank you to the entire Design Alternatives Team for delivering an absolutely beautiful clubhouse!

      Since November of last year, SCHAU & HORCH has been supporting us in the further development of our brand – and we couldn't imagine a better partner.From the very beginning, the team not only understood our industry and our company, but also engaged deeply with our values, our goals, and our strategic direction. This is evident in every step we take together. They don't create short-term solutions, but rather a brand with a clear strategy and a long-term perspective.We particularly value the honest, collaborative partnership. Ideas aren't simply implemented, but developed further together and critically examined – always with the aim of achieving the best possible result. Communication, accessibility, and reliability are consistently top-notch.As a company in the event technology sector, a professional and authentic brand presence is of paramount importance to us. SCHAU & HORCH accompanies us on this journey with a great deal of creativity, strategic expertise, and an exceptional feel for brands.We look forward to continuing our collaboration and can recommend SCHAU & HORCH to anyone who wants to not only design their brand, but also develop it sustainably.

      microsoft vis's Review Sourced from Google

      The interview process had three rounds, including two technical rounds and a task-based screen-sharing session. The final ‘HR’ round turned out to be another technical discussion, without any prior clarification from HR. Candidates were asked to report at 10 AM but had to wait for hours with no updates or apology. The third-round interviewer came across as somewhat arrogant, making the experience uncomfortable. Overall, the process felt unorganized, and while they expect experienced candidates, the offered salary is closer to a fresher level. Suitable mainly for interns, but not ideal for experienced professionals.

      Working with Lilac Infotech Private Limited has been an outstanding experience. From the initial consultation to final delivery, their team demonstrated professionalism, technical expertise, and a deep understanding of our business needs.Their ability to translate complex requirements into user-friendly mobile apps and web solutions is impressive. What sets them apart is their attention to detail, timely delivery, and ongoing support even after project completion. The UI/UX design was modern and intuitive, and the backend systems they developed were robust and scalable.Communication was always smooth and transparent, and they were open to feedback at every stage of development. They truly operate like a technology partner rather than just a service provider.Highly recommended for startups, SMEs, or enterprises looking to build custom software, mobile applications, or digital transformation solutions.
