Web Design Review from Michael Krone
We partnered with Goji Labs for a complete app build, and they delivered exactly what we needed. Their team handled the entire project professionally and with great care from start to finish. I would highly recommend Goji Labs to anyone seeking a skilled and dependable development partner.
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.

Designli Reviews & Testimonials
Software Development Review from Anshuman Yadav
Designli created a clickable Figma prototype for the MVP of our AI-powered operating system, along with a detailed technical document for building it. As a founder, having something real to show made it much easier to validate the idea with potential customers and present it to investors. The team acted quickly on feedback, communicated proactively, and kept the project on schedule. Pairing design with technical planning gave us a clear path from concept to build.
Software Development Review from David Williamson
We brought Designli in to turn our construction management software idea into a clickable MVP prototype, complete with designed screens and user stories showing how the platform will work. They delivered on time and beyond what we expected. People in the construction industry who tried it were impressed by how simple and easy to use it is, even though the product behind it is complex. Communication was quick and clear, and the project was well managed throughout.
Mobile App Development Review from John Laporte
Designli helped us define the requirements, features, and user experience for an app for our motorcycle organization. They produced technical documentation and a clickable prototype covering navigation, member tools, and safety features. They were responsive, delivered on time every time, and turned our broad concepts into something people could actually click through. The prototype got our stakeholders aligned, earned internal approval, and set us up for engineering, and working out design questions early should save us rework later.

ANML Reviews & Testimonials
Product Design Review from Manuel Colom
Working with ANML on the Yummly app experience and the Yummly Smart Thermometer (IoT) was an outstanding collaboration. Yummly combined personalized recipe discovery, meal planning, and guided cooking into a highly curated food experience, while the Smart Thermometer extended that ecosystem into connected cooking with real-time temperature tracking and assisted preparation workflows. As Director of UX at Yummly, I worked closely with ANML throughout both initiatives, and they operated almost as a seamless extension of our internal design team. Their work consistently demonstrated excellent design craft, strong product thinking, and a highly collaborative mindset. Beyond delivering high-quality UX and visual design, their contribution helped sharpen and strengthen the overall value proposition of the products by making complex cooking experiences feel approachable, premium, and intuitive for users.
Web Design Review from Nathan Thornburgh
As Anthony Bourdain's partners, we were approached by CNN to create an immersive digital site that would provide a beautiful home for each destination covered by Bourdain's show Parts Unknown. It was a huge task not least because there were already close to 100 destinations to integrate into a usable global site. But also because the site was meant to live up to the beauty and aesthetic of the television program. And it needed to be done in a way that satisfied both our mainstream luxury advertisers (like LandRover, ANA, and more) but also the famously high standards of Bourdain himself. ANML engaged in this 18-month design and build process with outstanding workmanship and creative decision-making. They navigated wildly different and demanding stakeholders. And in the end they built a site that still looks fresh even nearly a decade later. If you want to make lasting work, there is no one else I could recommend more.
Web Design Review from Alex Lacerda
We partnered with ANML to evolve our digital experience in a way that stayed true to our brand while modernizing how we present our products and story. As a company with a long history in music, it was important to find a partner who could respect that legacy while helping us move forward.ANML took the time to understand our brand, our audience, and the role our products play for musicians. They built on our existing foundation and translated it into a more cohesive and intuitive experience that better reflects who we are today.Their team brought strong thinking across UX and design, helping us improve how content is structured, how products are presented, and how users navigate the experience. The collaboration was smooth and highly responsive throughout.The end result is a more polished and modern experience that still feels authentic to our brand. ANML was a thoughtful and reliable partner, and we would highly recommend them.

Web Design Review from Mackenzie Shriner
I contracted design in DC to build me a custom website. they were accommodating of my budget, very responsive, and gave good insight on layout, content and design. the process was very straightforward and the final product is great!
Web Design Review from Jo Maney
DDC has been an excellent partner since we engaged with them in 2023. The DDC team worked with us to completely redesign our website and work to provide ongoing digital marketing services. The DDC team has been responsive, proactive, and thorough with their work. They are also very transparent about how they operate and how much time special projects will require. We have referred DDC to several clients and partners thanks to their outstanding process and product. DDC is a very professional, creative, and well-organized team.
Web Design Review from Sapna Doshi, Ph.D.
My experience working with Design in DC was incredible. Everyone was friendly, approachable, and seemed to genuinely care about helping create the best possible website for my business. They were also invested in making sure the process was one in which I enjoyed and felt taken care of. The regular meetings made me feel like I was a priority and that progress was continually being made. I so appreciated the attention to detail in regards to the user experience. The collaboration in understanding my wishes and desires for the website and user experience was met with patience and paying attention to detail on my behalf. Not only were they taking my suggestions but offering their own to help me maximize the potential of my website. The design and functionality is more than what I could have imagined. I know, undoubtedly, that the work that Design in DC did for me will help my business grow. After wasting money in years past on website designers, I was worried I'd be doing hte same here. I was wrong. I don't think I'll ever need to search for another website designer group again. I would recommend this group to anyone I know. Thank you, Design in DC! It was an absolute pleasure working with all of you!

The final product optimized the company's process as expected and has been well received by users. The company appreciated how well the Geeky Ants communicated, always punctual for meetings, and responsive to inquiries despite being in different timezones.
suresh's Review Sourced from Google
Candidates should carefully evaluate whether to participate in this interview process. Based on my experience, it seems the interviews are being conducted primarily for showcase purposes rather than actual hiring, leading to a significant waste of candidates' time, preparation, and effort.
Deekshu Gunaga's Review Sourced from Google
Very poor hiring management experience at GeekyAnts. After scheduling the interview and making candidates wait for one week, the hiring team only said the application was “on hold” and mentioned there may be an update next month. After that, there was no response or communication at all. Candidates deserve proper updates and professional handling instead of being ignored. It was worst experience
