Logo Design Review from Herwig Konings
Griflan's creative and modern design techniques make them a great firm to work with for logo development. You will get direction from their team and give you multiple revisions to help you be happy with your final choice, all on a quick turnaround and very reasonable price.

Web Design Review from Stephen King
Griflan and team did a magnificent job designing our original website and an even better job with the most recent release. In addition to web design, their team has produced presentation materials and marketing assets that match our web theme. Their team is incredibly responsive, professional and timely when it comes to deliverables. I have had a wonderful experience with their organization and could not give a higher recommendation.
Jenith Damasco
President at GLOW Social & Digital Agency
4.8★
Web Design Review from Jenith Damasco
I have had the pleasure and privilege of working with Griflan for over 7 years on too many projects to list--multiple launches/rebranding, website design and development, print, online media/advertising and template creation. The team excels at design and are the most flexible and deadline-driven agency I have worked with at least 55 agencies in the past 10 years. They are an amazing group and all of my KPIs have consistently outpaced. I hope I have the opportunity to work them for many years.

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.

Audio Production Review from Larry Charles, Jr.
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.

Audio Production Review from Joe Seward
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.

Speak creative sold me on spending $35,000 on the website which after six months we shut it down and built our own. They may be a Professional web design company with certain sites but not on e-commerce sites . but at the end of the day they charge way too much, and didn’t deliver. I would never recommend speak, creative to anyone..

It's a team of exceptionally talented and professional folks who are passionate about their work and very serious its quality. The company has many long-term, happy customers that are important players in their industries. ImageX is an active member of the Drupal community so it regularly sponsors and organizes Drupal events. The team is very inclusive — it welcomes and respects diverse cultures. Despite the long distances between the company's offices (in Canada, Brazil, and Ukraine), the atmosphere is family-like and warm. You can always feel the team's support, friendliness, and respect.

Building a website is hard enough. You have to get it right the first time because it's going to represent who you are and your reputation. That's why I didn't hesitate to work with Ozodeck. Based on their previous work, I knew I had confidence in this company to create my first WordPress website. Not only did Ozodeck deliver exactly everything I wanted, but they gave me even better suggestions. Their expertise and communication made this whole process a pleasant experience. So if you want a web designer/developer who you can 100% trust, you don't have to look any further. Ozodeck can overdeliver and make sure you have a great experience.

Frequently Asked Questions About Headless CMS Companies
What are the typical services provided by headless CMS developers?
Headless CMS companies plan, implement, and operate a headless content management system (CMS), so teams can efficiently publish content across websites, apps, and other digital channels. Typical headless CMS development services include:
Headless CMS consulting and strategy: Advising businesses on the best headless CMS vendor and architecture or optimizing current platforms to meet their goals.
Platform migration: Moving content and assets from legacy systems while preserving data integrity, security, and SEO with minimal downtime.
Custom headless CMS development: Building the content models, automations, and user roles as well as the front and back end to ensure easy maintainability and reliable performance.
API and plugin development: Integrating the headless CMS platform with third-party systems, such as payment gateways, CRMs, ERPs, and marketing automation tools.
Ongoing maintenance and support: Continuously monitoring the platform's performance, resolving issues, installing security patches and updates, and managing infrastructure.
What is the difference between headless CMS and traditional CMS?
A headless CMS separates the content management backend from the frontend experiences. As such, content is delivered via APIs to any channel (websites, mobile apps, and IoT devices), so teams can reuse the same content across multiple experiences.
On the other hand, a traditional CMS has a unified back- and front-end (monolithic), meaning that there is a single interface that often comes in the form of a website. It can still power multiple channels, but doing so requires extensive tooling and customization.
Here are more details on their differences:
Headless CMS platforms
Traditional CMS platforms
Advantages
Tech agnostic, allowing teams to use any framework
Consistent omnichannel experiences due to API-first approach
Highly collaborative, allowing for developer, content, and marketing teams to work simultaneously
Cost effective due to the availability of pre-built solutions (WordPress, Drupal, etc.) and templates
User-friendly, allowing teams with limited tech knowledge to configure
Faster time-to-market launch
Disadvantages
Higher build complexity
Requires technical expertise
Potentially more expensive to develop
Slower initial setup but faster iteration cycles
Less front-end flexibility
Omnichannel needs extra work
Scalability for multiple experiences can be difficult
What are the most common headless CMS platforms?
Based on our research, here are some of the most common headless CMS platforms that developers use:
WordPress: While it is a traditional CMS, it can be converted into a headless platform when paired with a modern JavaScript framework. Use this platform if you already have an existing WordPress-based site and want to migrate to a headless one.
Strapi: An open-source, self-hosted headless CMS, enabling teams to have higher control over their data and infrastructure while being able to customize plugins, APIs, and workflows. Choose Strapi if you want to keep your data within your servers, and data sovereignty is non-negotiable.
Contentful: A digital experience platform (DXP) with an API-first architecture and an extensive library of pre-built integrations. This platform is common for enterprises with complex needs and legacy tools.
Sanity: Known for its collaboration features and flexible content management, Sanity is ideal for businesses that prioritize agility through controlled yet automated workflows.
While these are the most common platforms, reputable headless CMS companies will recommend a tech stack that best matches your goals, technical requirements, existing systems, operating models, team capabilities, and target audiences.
What companies benefit the most from headless CMS?
Many organizations benefit the most from a headless CMS when they need to publish content to multiple digital channels, scale across regions, or build custom experiences without being constrained by a single website template system. Common scenarios include:
eCommerce and retail with multiple customer touchpoints (web, app, in-store screens) and heavy integrations (PIM, inventory, CRM, marketing automation), where teams want faster experimentation and performance.
Brands running omnichannel campaigns (web + mobile + social + email + in-product) that need to reuse content consistently across channels.
Product-led or platform businesses building multiple front ends (customer portals, apps, partner dashboards) that require developer flexibility and frequent releases.
Global enterprises managing multiple markets, languages, and brands—where content governance, localization workflows, and reusable components are essential.
When should a company NOT use headless CMS frameworks?
A headless CMS may not be the best fit if:
You need to launch quickly on a tight budget, and a template-based website will meet your goals.
Your site is simple (e.g., a landing page or small brochure site), and you do not need multiple channels, complex integrations, or frequent changes.
You do not have ongoing development capacity (in-house or via a retainer) to maintain the front end, integrations, and updates.
Your team depends on visual page-building and WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editing and you are not prepared to invest in a headless setup that delivers an equivalent editorial experience.
