ZERO NEGATIVE Reviews & Testimonials

Web Development Review from Jaroslav Tyman Jr.
We contacted Zero Negative about a two stage renewal of our company website with a very aggressive timeline for the first stage. Zero Negative worked and guided us through pulling off the first stage within our timeline while also ensuring that the content and ideas for that stage were readily applicable to the full design. When we got to the full design, they were fully responsible for corralling the various preferences and ideas from our team into a well executed cohesive site. We're now in a good spot and look forward to continuing to work with Zero Negative as our business and needs grow.

Web Development Review from Susan E. Roberts
Zero Negative did an exceptional job designing my website, roberts-communications.com. From the start, they understood that this wasn't just about aesthetics it was about positioning, credibility, and clarity for a senior-level communications brand.They translated a complex, high-stakes business into a site that feels polished, modern, and authoritative without being flashy or over designed. The process was collaborative, efficient, and thoughtful, and they were responsive to feedback while also offering smart guidance when it mattered.The final result reflects exactly how I want Roberts Communications to be perceived: strategic, sophisticated, and trusted. I would highly recommend Zero Negative to anyone looking for a design partner who understands brand, not just web building.

Web Development Review from Anonymous
These guys are the best! We engaged with Zero Negative to develop a comprehensive web-based system for our factory that allows for managing orders, processes, and inventory. This initiative was essential for us to secure a big ticket client. We truly could not have accomplished this without their assistance. They dedicated considerable time to on-boarding and collecting the requisite information, followed by prototyping the software, and ultimately developing it from scratch. Overall, we are very satisfied.

Digis Reviews & Testimonials

UI/UX Design Review from Wladimir Wolinski
Communication was smooth either through our teams communication channel or with the project manager via email. We were in daily contact with the UX/UI designer in form of dailies or when we had to clarify some questions. With the project manager, we had a short conversation every 2 weeks to clarify all possible questions.We personally love to work in a very process-oriented way. Because when we understand how to do something, we usually know how the end result can look like. With Digis, we also had the feeling that they knew what they were doing and how to do it. Every next step was planned from the beginning. If something didn't work in line with our processes, we could readjust it.We were basically satisfied with everything.

Website Redesign Review from Michael Wilson
Digis is redesigning our website to a magento based platform to migrate from a Wordpress based platform. Key deliverables include a full discovery document to determine and outline the scope of the work and the magento platform with custom development to fit our needs.Everything has been delivered on time. Danila our project manager has great communication and always responds in a timely manor. We always receive clear explanations and detailed time logs for the work that is done.

Mobile App Development Review from Gina Levy
Both the developer and tester have exceeded expectations. Their performance is excellent. Together they eliminated bugs, introduced new features, and ensured that the app is working without problems. Previously, we had many complaints in the app store. Since working with this developer and tester, these complaints about the app functioning and bugs have disappeared.The time zone different is sometimes challenging, since we are in California and they are in Europe.

Branding Review from Anonymous
I'm a department director at a consumer technology protection company, overseeing our website and Amazon channels. We engaged Netalico Commerce to implement our rebrand and completely overhaul our website's frontend.Netalico successfully implemented our new design and developed custom features for our e-commerce platform. They've become our web development partners, continuously adding integrations and improvements. Using Magento, PHP, and SQL, they built custom features including product registration for lifetime warranties and insurance claim management directly through our site.In 2021, they executed a complex multi-company project integrating our insurance plan data into POS systems across North America, enabling virtual insurance sales at retail locations.I work directly with Mark (CTO & Founder), Emily (E-Commerce Solutions Specialist), Bianca (Project Manager), and Lisa (Chief Design Officer). We've been working together since May 2020 on a monthly retainer basis.Netalico has executed all projects exceptionally well, consistently meeting deadlines and launch dates with accurate quotes. We communicate through weekly meetings, Slack, chat, and email.What impresses me most is their outstanding team structure. They have talented, highly skilled members organized efficiently for optimal project delivery. They make the client experience seamless.
Beauty Marketing Review from Anonymous
I manage a beauty brand, and we engaged Netalico Commerce to handle our web development and email marketing needs.After an initial strategy call to understand our priorities, Netalico Commerce developed a comprehensive plan to address our requirements. They now maintain our Shopify e-commerce platform and implement ongoing updates. The site features shopping capabilities, a blog, and class registration.Katherine, our Director of Operations and primary contact, leads the engagement with support from her design team. The results have been impressive - our conversion rate has increased, and they've outperformed previous developers in efficiency, response time, and organization. They consistently deliver on schedule and within budget, using Trello, email, and Zoom for seamless communication.Their standout quality is their ability to efficiently manage multiple projects simultaneously while maintaining high standards across all deliverables. Katherine excels at prioritizing our needs and finding effective solutions.Their onboarding process for new clients is excellent - I highly recommend utilizing Trello for optimal collaboration.
Website Redesign Review from Anonymous
I hired Netalico to redesign and develop our e-commerce site for our historic lighting and home decor business. We needed to modernize our outdated WordPress platform and handle our highly customizable products.Netalico rebuilt our site from scratch, creating a beautiful platform that seamlessly manages our complex product customization and integrates with external apps. They developed an efficient product page system and added content capabilities we previously lacked.We worked primarily with Bianca (project manager), a developer, and Lisa (designer). The site launched successfully and maintains our steady revenue stream while delivering the exact customer experience we envisioned.What distinguishes Netalico is their willingness to understand our unique needs rather than forcing us into a template. They listened carefully and tailored their approach accordingly.

Wearables Review from Issac John
A global OTT provider - Discovery+ earlier this year, had a breakthrough launch in a cluttered OTT market like India with a differentiated product targeted at lifelong learners and passionate communities. The team at Robosoft played a significant role in building this multi-platform experience spanning iOS, Android, Web and Fire TVs. Their team comprises an extremely dedicated bunch of folks with a keen problem solving approach and under the stellar leadership of Ravi Teja, Jay Shah, Srinidhi Rao and Pooja Bal, they have been the kind of dependable partners that a lot of brands would be fortunate to have. I wish them and their team the best for their future.

Mobile App Development Review from Deepak Porayath
Our experience working with Robosoft has been quite good in terms of product and outcomes. With our CapitaStar@Work app for India business, the end goal was to bring our customers and their employees onto a digital platform. The objective was to integrate our solutions such as visitor, parking, and ticketing system management into a single app. CapitaStar@Work caters to our requirements and surely will make life simpler for our users. I would recommend Robosoft to others because it is a good organization to implement technological interventions in any traditional manufacturing, real estate, or brick-and-mortar industry.

I extended our working arrangement and they have worked with us on our website and SEO ever since, over two years now.
