      Web Design Review from David Sterling

      We brought in Creative Brand Design to support the launch of a new sub-brand and they delivered exactly what we were after a visually engaging, well-structured site thats helped us make a confident move into a new area of the market. Communication was clear, timelines were kept to, and they were easy to deal with throughout. A little more structure around the CMS handover wouldve been helpful, but support was there when needed. Would happily recommend.

      Working with CBD was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. They took the time to truly understand my vision and translated it into a brand and website that feels modern, professional, and inspiring. Every element from the branding to the layout and user experience was thoughtfully designed and perfectly aligned with the goals of my training business. I couldnt be happier with the final result and would highly recommend CBD to anyone looking for standout web design and branding.

      Mobile App Development Review from Guiulianna Cespedes

      Our company needed an Android app that could support a mental health platform in a way that felt calm, easy to use, and dependable for daily users. We hired Simpalm to build that product in Kotlin and help us move from concept into something real customers could use. For us, trust and simplicity mattered more than packing in too many features.They took a fairly hands-on role, which was helpful because we were still making product decisions as the project moved. Some weeks I was deeply involved reviewing screens, and other weeks they pushed things forward on their own. That balance worked well. They would usually come back with two or three options instead of just asking what we wanted.We did hit one rough patch around notifications where the first version didn’t behave the way we expected, so that had to be revisited. They fixed it without making the process difficult.The finished app runs smoothly, feels organized, and gave us a much stronger mobile presence on Android. Most importantly, early users found it approachable rather than overwhelming, which was exactly what we wanted.

      Mobile App Development Review from Amanda Chalofsky

      My experience with Simpalm was very good. They made a full prototype of our neuro-wellness app so we could show partners and investors what our system looks like. It matched our brand and showed the flow in a simple way. Their communication was steady, they stayed on time, and they explained things clearly. The prototype helped people understand our idea fast, and it moved our project forward. I felt supported the whole time.

      Mobile App Development Review from Matt Rudnick

      Working with Simpalm has been a really positive experience. We hired them to handle the frontend development of our mobile app for iOS and Android, while our backend was already in place. From the start, their team communicated clearly, stayed organized, and met every deadline we set. They were flexible when we added new features, and their designer’s input really helped improve the look and usability of the app. I appreciated how reliable and easy they were to work with having a U.S.-based team made communication smooth and fast.

      We worked with a designer from Red Collar for two months. They have quickly delved into our processes, got a sense of the tool set and integrated into the team. They were independent in carrying out the assigned tasks and bringing them up for discussion, gradually going through iterations and perfecting their designs. It was a pleasure to work together. Next time we are in need of design help, I'll be happy to employ Red Collar's services.

      We worked with Uitop to create an interface for our product. The challenge of our product is IoT integration and deep analytics. They created an interface from scratch and supported us with development. They do not just do the interface, but they explain to us why we should use such elements. They started with a design that perfectly captured what our product was all about. It was user-friendly and looked great. We are totally satisfied with the results!
