Content Magazine is pleased with the website, finding it valuable for its organization. The client entrusted Baunfire with its ideas and shared the desired outcome. In response, Baunfire crafted a design aesthetic that stands out in their local area. The visual display exceeds Content Magazine's initial expectations. Moreover, Baunfire has made the website more user-friendly, especially on the backend. Also, Content Magazine can now update the website independently. (Verified via email)

Web Design Review from Guillaume Bienaime
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)

Sheryl Steinberg's Review Sourced from Google
I only had a couple of months to complete my new website project and Studio 22 met my deadline. They respond quickly, and are good communicators. They’re the only team I’ll use to update my website, and they’re easy to work with remotely. I would absolutely recommend them.
Lee Ann Payne's Review Sourced from Google
Our arts organization interviewed three firms and Studio 22 came out on top because their aesthetic merged that of a high-tech organization and one of an arts organization. They delivered on time and the CEO was attentive and always available either in person or remotely. When we did meet in person, they were very easy to deal with. Studio 22 was great and I can only say positive things about them. We’re continuing to work with them on other projects.
