Web Design Review from Robert Rams MBE
Steven and the team were absolutely incredible from start to finish. Amy and I genuinely could not be happier with the support, care and professionalism they showed throughout the process. They went above and beyond for us at every stage, always making us feel reassured and supported.We are hugely grateful for everything they did and cannot thank them enough. I would wholeheartedly recommend Steven and the team to anyone looking for first-class service and support.
Although GLH is the latest project I've worked on with 2002 Studios, I'm a long standing repeat business account for them accross multiple projects and I will continue to work with them down the line. The team is available in roughly any timezone (I've come to find out), quite responsive and knowledgeable. I've been helped through small fixes or big deliveries with confidence and ease.Due to the nature of of entertainment, there have been times where feedback improvements needed to be identified and fixed, and without any fuss or extra cost (reasonably) we got the support we needed and timely without any change in attitude towards us, true professionals and customer concious business practices.Audio Services, website design, sound composition and original score, and even marketing support. All stellar and all from one source. I am happy to reccomend them, and actively refer them to new clients when I can.
The quality of work from 2002 Studios Media has been consistently strong. Their team delivers clear, accurate localization and polished content that stays true to the original intent. They show a solid grasp of both language and context, which is essential for this type of work.Projects are delivered on time, even when timelines are tight. The team communicates early if anything could affect delivery, which helps avoid surprises and keeps everything moving smoothly.They are easy to reach and quick to respond. Questions are handled clearly, and feedback is addressed without delay. This makes collaboration simple and efficient across all stages of a project.Pricing is fair for the level of quality and service provided. There is a good balance between cost and value, especially for projects that require careful localization and attention to detail.Overall, I am very satisfied with the experience. 2002 Studios Media is a reliable partner for localization and content production, and I would work with them again.
