      Web Development Review from Chris Bailey

      I engaged their web-development team to rebuild and modernize our company's manufacturing website, and the experience has been exceptional. From the outset, communication was clear and responsive: they took time to understand our industry-specific compliance needs and translated them into a site structure that is clean, secure, and easy to navigate. Delivery was on schedule, and the final result exceeded expectations pages load quickly, the design feels professional and trustworthy, and the content layout supports clarity for both clients and regulators.In addition, the team proactively suggested helpful enhancements: mobile optimization, streamlined navigation, and improved documentation pages all of which have already resulted in noticeably increased user engagement and lower bounce rates. They handled feedback promptly and implemented corrections without fuss, making the collaboration smooth and efficient.Overall, this project added significant value to our online presence, giving us a polished, modern website that accurately reflects our manufacturing standards and commitment to quality. I would gladly work with them again and recommend their services to anyone seeking reliable web development for regulated-industry clients.

      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.

      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.

      I've been working with Simform for over six months now. The engagement began with bringing our subscription management platform in-house, and we've since expanded the partnership to other projects due to their broad skill set and consistent reliability. They've gone the extra mileeven over weekends and public holidaysto help us move faster when needed. Communication and project management have been excellent, with any issues swiftly addressed. It genuinely felt like Simform was invested in our success. Having worked with similar firms throughout my career, I can confidently say Simform stands out and comes highly recommended.

      I needed someone to move my website over from Wordpress to Shopify and communicated with several providers. Ramez from Lightspace Creative responded very quickly and was very polite and gave out a very positive vibe. His quote was a bit out of my budget but I decided to go with Ramez because he asked all the right questions and put me at ease. I was pleasantly surprised when at the end of the project, Ramez came back and told me he had completed the job in a fraction of the time. He was quick and efficient and in the end, completed the job well within my budget. My website looks great and works marvelously! After he was done with the project, I had some questions about the website, and Ramez took the time to answer them (and so politely too!). I've already recommended Lightspace Creative to several friends for their website needs.

      Working with bgood media has been a game changer for our, business's online visibility. They helped us strengthen our SEO foundation, improve rankings for competitive search terms, and significantly increase our organic traffic. We’ve also started seeing our brand, African Safari Company, appear in AI search results like ChatGPT and Gemini, which has been incredibly exciting to watch.Justin and Joseph have a deep understanding of both technical SEO and GEO, and their strategies have brought in more qualified leads through organic search. They’re thoughtful, knowledgeable, and clearly ahead of the curve when it comes to where search is heading.I’d absolutely recommend bgood media to anyone in the luxury travel space who wants to grow their presence online in a smart, sustainable way.

      When I signed up BGood Media to work on my site Lightyear Coffee, the ask was a big one: step into managing and optimizing a site that's been operating for a few years with a pretty tangled backend.Justin and BGood did not hesitate to dive in and learn what had already been programmed and how (not easy). They were able to make sense of the site in short order and provided SEO insights and other performance recommendations I had never heard before. It was refreshing.Every team out there should have a partner like BGood. Highly recommend.

      Working with Justin, Joseph, and the entire team at bgood media to redesign our sports agency, SSE's website was an incredible experience. They brought such positive energy, creativity, and technical expertise to the project. Our custom WordPress site is not only visually stunning and perfectly aligned with our updated branding and design. The Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) makes things very user-friendly and flexible.The team's attention to detail and collaborative spirit made the process enjoyable and seamless. If you're looking for a WordPress development agency that combines creative design, technical precision, SEO, and outstanding client service, bgood media is the way to go. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome!
