Software Development Review from Marcos Queiroz
They were very responsive and the quality of the work was good. We experienced a few challenges with the back and forth during deliveries and some unexpected delays but they were always receptive to feedback and responded well to our concerns. I'd happily recommend them, especially Megha as the Project Manager and Savan as the Developer.

Jean Brillant's Review Sourced from Google
We originally designed something simple to test a market that quickly blossomed. We were at a crossroads of failing due to demand and not being able to supply or technically move forward. We partnered with Codiant to help write our next chapter. We began the journey by looking for a good code shop that we could work and communicate with. What we found instead was a partner in all facets. Codiant’s team share in our vision and mission. We’ve developed our App, website, and marketing through the firm and have been able to increase our footprint. I highly recommend Codiant for your next project if you are looking for a great partnership and growth.

We hired Dart Marketing for a campaign. They listened, asked good questions, and didn’t overcomplicate things. The first drafts were close, the revisions were quick, and the final ads actually worked, we saw more leads in week one than we expected. Easy team to work with, zero drama.

We worked with Dart Marketing on a CGI and 3D animation project for two of our key product launches, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. The quality of the visuals they delivered exceeded our expectations - incredibly detailed, realistic, and perfectly aligned with our brand’s vision.
The team was not only creative and technically skilled, but also highly professional throughout the entire process. Communication was smooth, timelines were respected, and every revision was handled with care and efficiency.
Highly recommend them for any brand looking to make a strong visual impact.

Winger's communication and collaboration in supporting HSG Advisors has always been a key part of the relationship as HSG has evolved greatly over the past 10 years, and even more significantly in the past 2-3. Winger has been there throughout the entire process to support day-to-day management, how to plan for upcoming market shifts we need to respond to, and meeting our team where we were throughout the entire process. I would recommend Winger to anyone looking for 3rd party support to execute their marketing initiatives.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible support and coaching I received from Winger Marketing, particularly from Karolyn, throughout my TEDTalk journey. Karolyn's guidance was instrumental in helping me refine my message and delivery, ensuring that I was able to effectively convey my ideas to the audience.
From the initial brainstorming sessions to the final rehearsals, Karolyn's expertise and encouragement were invaluable. She provided insightful feedback, helping me to strengthen my presentation and connect with the audience on a deeper level. Her attention to detail and dedication to my success were truly remarkable.
Thanks to Karolyn's support and the resources provided by Winger Marketing, I felt confident and prepared when stepping onto the TED stage. The experience was truly transformative, and I owe a great deal of that success to Karolyn!
I wholeheartedly recommend Winger Marketing to anyone seeking professional coaching and support for their public speaking endeavors. Their expertise, dedication, and personalized approach make them stand out in the industry, and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work with them.
Thank you, Winger Marketing and Karolyn, for your amazing support and guidance!

We hired flexsin technologies to build software for us in July 2022. They agreed to sign NDAs and all relevant paperwork. They prepared the NDA as they preferred it and sent it to us for review and signature. We reviewed the NDA and changed the Jurisdiction to UK and sent it back to them for a signature which they delayed in signing up to date. After they reviewed everything, they gave us an estimation of USD 17,000. They sent us a contract with upper price cap stating that any extra activities and costs incurred above the agreed upper price cap will be their responsibility and we as the client will have to pay nothing extra. They estimated the project will take 12-14 weeks. They started the project and assured us the NDA and Contract is getting sorted and they will send it over as soon as. Long story short flexsin Technology never honoured the contract and the price cap as the price started increasing past the price cap. It is now been 8 months since they started the project and they have not signed the NDA nor the Contract as agreed. We noticed they misspelt the names on the NDA and Contract. We asked them to rectify the spelling mistakes and they have refused asking us to Change the NDA that they wrote themselves to meet their interests. They are asking us to include on the NDA that UPwork will resolve disputes in relation to incorrect spellings on the paperwork and the NDA as if they are planning to make more mistakes. Up work is just a platform that brings developers and clients together, UPwork does not resolve spelling mistakes and unsigned paperwork. UPwork is NOT developing our software for us, we did NOT share the software information with UPwork, we shared information with Flexsins Technologies and above all Up work did NOT misspell or fail to sign the NDA or Contract, that was Flexsins Technologies mistakes to fix and NOT UPwork mistakes to fix. They are now asking to write another contract for more money probably with another price cap just to lure. They have agreed to send the assets back to us immediately. Updates of this review to follow on here, twitter, LinkedIn, IG, TikTok, and any other platform.

I have had a great experience with Flexsin. My small business is a bit of a niche (horse racing) but the team at Flexsin worked very hard to understand the nuances. Very impressive breadth of skills on the team. The support work they do for my small business on a monthly retainer has been good, as has their project work on a mobile app.

I've been with Flexsin for 3 years now, and it's a great place to work. Talented technical staff and good management. After years of providing IT staffing solutions for US based companies with local personnel, I'm now able to save our clients a LOT of money by using the resources of our talented team of resources at our offshore development center instead.

Wiktoria Serwecińska's Review Sourced from Google
Working with Dawid from Lizardo Agency was a truly great experience. I was looking for someone who could help me design a professional and modern website for my services here in Chicago, and I’m so glad I found him.
From the very beginning, Dawid was responsive, clear, and easy to talk to. During our first call, he took the time to really understand what my business is about, who my clients are, and what kind of image I want to present online. He also asked a lot of thoughtful questions that helped me realize what exactly I needed — things I hadn’t even considered before.
Once we moved into the design phase, everything went super smoothly. Dawid shared drafts with me regularly, and he was always open to feedback. I really appreciated how collaborative the whole process felt — he gave his professional input, but also made sure the site matched my vision and personality. Communication was fast, honest, and helpful throughout. I never felt like I was left in the dark or had to wait days for a response.
The final result exceeded my expectations. The website looks amazing, works great on mobile, and already a few of my clients commented on how easy it is to navigate. Plus, Dawid made sure everything is easy for me to update later, which is a huge plus.
I’ll definitely be coming back for future projects.

Overall, I highly recommend Lizardo Agency for anyone looking for a website designer who combines skillful design with outstanding customer service. Thank you again for your excellent work!
