Software Development Review from John Armstrong
ELEKS was able to take our vision and help us deliver an app that empowers retail shareholders to make their voices heard. They’ve brought a depth and breadth of technical expertise and user experience design to challenge us on our assumptions on how people would want to interact with the app. From a mobile development perspective, we wanted to go to market with both an Android and an iPhone simultaneously.
Software Development Review from Mark Battcock
We are very happy with our ELEKS partnership; the dedication of the team is exceptional. We would certainly recommend ELEKS and would be happy to work with them again. In fact, they continue to be our partner for the 2nd phase of the CDX project to add even more customer services to the website.
Software Development Review from Huntly Christie
What impressed me about ELEKS is the culture. There is a very strong culture of discipline and performance, and software is a profession where discipline is very important. Good software development can only happen with a strong work ethic, and I think the ELEKS team really understands that.

Startup Review from Alexa Ginsberg
What stood out most about working with AppMakers USA was how attentive and helpful the team was throughout the project. They listened to our feedback, kept us updated and were always available when we had questions. Everything was handled professionally and we felt confident that our project was in good hands. Were very pleased with the final outcome!
Startup Review from Roei Schneider
I work in IT support, so I was probably more interested in whether this would save us headaches than whether it looked impressive. AppMakers spent time understanding why tickets were getting stuck and found that a lot of our delays were actually caused by people not knowing who was supposed to do the next step. That was a very simple observation, but we had never really stepped back and looked at it that way. The system they planned would make ownership much clearer and let employees see what is happening without constantly asking us for updates. I liked working with them and would do it again.
AI Automation Review from Alessia Anticoli
We partnered with AppMakers to explore an AI-powered solution that could simplify the way our marketing team manages content across multiple hospitality properties. From the beginning, their team focused on understanding our actual workflow rather than proposing a generic solution. They carefully analyzed how we organize photos, approve captions, coordinate promotions, and manage content between different properties. Through the research phase, they identified several inefficiencies we hadn't fully recognized, including duplicated work and unclear approval processes. They then presented a well-structured concept for a shared platform with dedicated content libraries, approval workflows, and AI-powered writing assistance tailored to the unique voice of each property. Communication was always smooth, timelines were respected, and the entire process felt collaborative and well organized. What impressed us most was their understanding that every hospitality brand needs its own identity, and that technology should support that rather than standardize it. The project gave us a much clearer roadmap for improving our internal marketing operations, and we would gladly recommend AppMakers to any company looking to combine AI with practical, business-focused solutions.

Software Development Review from Wilson Rapp
We brought Goji Labs on board for a major migration project, and the entire experience was smooth and well-managed from start to finish. We could not be happier with the results. Their expertise gave us confidence throughout the process, and we would not hesitate to work with them again.
Mobile App Development Review from Sheila Reddy
As a founder with just an idea and a business model, I needed a partner who could turn that vision into a real product. Goji Labs guided me through every step of the process and built exactly the app we needed. Their expertise and patience made the entire journey manageable and rewarding.

Web Development Review from Anonymous
We had a goal to modernize our website and also to make it more appealing as a software company. We hired GoingClear to provide the web design, UI, web development, and post-launch website services. GoingClear drastically improved the company's website and successfully fulfilled any requests. They were recognized as a professional agency for their responsive communication, sophisticated design skills, and willingness to understand the project's goals and initiatives.

GoingClear redesigned and developed our new modern website within a WordPress framework. We found it to be very collaborative and thorough when it came to the design phase. They also provided the full QA/Testing phase once they finished the web development and programming phase of the project. Our executive team loved the new design and were all happy with the way it was coded too. We’d fully recommend them and are excited to work on a new project together!

Award-winning design + responsiveness + exacting standards: where it begins with Joris Spiertz and Studio Naam. His exceptional creativity and strategic vision is at the core of our brand design and our business. With critical insights and a rigorous creative process, Joris builds designs that work. We’ve worked with him for more than 10 years and the truth is we would not be the company we are today without him. On top of everything, he is really fun to work with.

Over the past few years, I've worked with Studio Naam on several online projects, including the design for Jafix. Studio Naam excels with their fresh designs, knowledge of the online world, and unparalleled ability to combine usability with stunning designs. Their professional approach is also crucial; they understand the design process for online projects and what developers need to translate a design into a website.

Mandeep Virk-Baker's Review Sourced from Google
Zero Designs team did a fantastic job with developing an excellent website and logo for our non-profit. They also helped create our social media platforms. I greatly appreciated their professional, warm, and open-minded approach throughout the project. Hiren was excellent to work with; he went above and beyond to make sure that the project exceeded my expectations. Hiren has excellent communication and project management skills, we had regular check-in and discussion meetings; he was always punctual, thorough, and willing to listen and adjust. For someone like me without any tech background, he made the entire process seamless. Hiren and his team created and delivered the website that is awesome and far better than what I had initially visualized in my mind. Another important item to highlight is Hiren and his team’s commitment to completing the project on time especially during the COVID19 pandemic without delays. I am extremely impressed the way Hiren and his team members managed to work from home during the COVID19 pandemic lockdown and completed the project seamless. I highly recommend Hiren and the Zero Designs team.

I used their services for Logo design, Website development and overall branding. They completed my project in time and I was very happy with their services. Hiren Rawal, went out of his way to complete the project according to my requirements. My company logo changed after they completed my work, yet they updated it for all my products at no cost. If you are looking to hire real professionals who will go out of their way to fulfill your needs, this is the company to consider. You will be HAPPY you did!!
