      Staff Augmentation Review from Dzmitry Novikau

      I worked with Kernelics on a crypto project where we needed help with both design and development. From the beginning, the team was easy to communicate with and clearly understood what we were trying to build. The designer improved our initial ideas by making the user experience more intuitive. They suggested better ways to structure the navigation and user flow, which helped reduce friction and made the product easier to use. We also brought in one of their developers, who worked alongside our existing team member. They collaborated well, completed the work on time, and handled some challenging parts of the exchange functionality without any issues. Overall, Kernelics delivered quality work, stayed within budget, and were professional throughout the process. I’d recommend them to others looking for a reliable design and development partner, especially for crypto or fintech projects.

      Web Development Review from Stsiapan Kolesau

      I CEO at the construction company specializing in modular buildings and their components. With years of experience and multiple projects, we decided to expand our online presence beyond our two existing landing pages. We needed a corporate portal to showcase products, manage content easily, and dynamically calculate product costs. On a recommendation, we chose Kernelics, and their organized approach and clear task division impressed us from the start. They began with an in-depth analysis of our needs and a competitive review. For the design, we requested a minimalist style, and the results were spot on, requiring only minor tweaks to meet our expectations. For development, Kernelics selected React, Next.js, and TypeScript, with Strapi for the admin panel. They also integrated Google Sheets to handle dynamic price calculations, enabling instant updates on the site by simply modifying the spreadsheeta feature weve found incredibly useful. Now, two years later, the portal continues to support our growth, and were planning new developments for our main site. Kernelics stood out for their transparent approach and professionalism at every stage, and I confidently recommend them to anyone seeking a reliable web development partner.

      Branding Review from Jake Tesoriero

      We've worked with the Dirtverse team on the branding for both North House and, more recently, Norcu. We gave them pretty much free rein creatively and were blown away by what they came back with every step of the way. They really understood what we were trying to achieve, even when we couldn't necessarily put it into words ourselves. They're creative, easy to work with and genuinely great at what they do. We couldn't be happier with both brands and would highly recommend the Dirtverse team!

      Web Design Review from Marco Noé

      We had the absolute pleasure of working with the talented team at Dirt on the branding and website for WldCntry. From our first call their creativity, strategic thinking, and well rounded skillset all spoke to what we believe is high quality work. The team brought WldCntry to life with a visual identity that not only stands out but perfectly captures what we set out to build. A video production company that breaks a few rules while still believing in the fundamentals needed for award winning films. Their ability to translate a feeling and vision into a cohesive impactful brand was an unforgettable experience!

      Dan and the team at Corporation pop have reinforced our faith in humanity. Their belief in what Roadbot can achieve has been backed up with the hours and hours of work they've put into the project on a pro bono basis. Pop possess all of the moral values our charity wants to instill in the drivers of the future. Their compassion and willingness to help us make the generational change so desperately needed to make Britains roads safer goes above and beyond anything we would dare to ask. Frankie and Neeve's Road safety academy will be forever greatful and look forward to working with the guys for many years. We are truly humbled by their generosity and proud to share our journey to safer roads with them.
