VALMAX Reviews & Testimonials
Astghik Zeynalyan
Operations Manager at Venturoso
5.0★
Branding Review from Astghik Zeynalyan
Venturoso had a great experience working with VALMAX on our brand identity. They took the time to understand our vision and translated it into a clear, cohesive, and distinctive brand identity that reflects who we are and what we are building. Throughout the project, the team was professional, responsive, and highly communicative. They consistently met deadlines, were open to feedback, and made the collaboration smooth and efficient. We really appreciated their attention to detail and ability to turn our ideas into a strong visual direction.
Lilia Tkach
Assistant of Head of Project Management at Face the Service
5.0★
Web Design Review from Lilia Tkach
We worked with Valmax on the full redesign and rebuild of the 11 Mirrors website. For us, this was not simply a visual update. The website needed to reflect the brands approach to hospitality while working as a practical commercial tool across the hotel, Restaurant & Bar, and FACE the Rooftop. The scope included a full WordPress rebuild, Ukrainian and English versions, booking flows, integrations, mobile optimisation, and a CMS that our marketing team could manage independently. Our experience working with Valmax was structured and straightforward. The project moved through clear stages discovery, wireframes, UI design, development, QA, content, and launch which made it easy for us to understand where we were in the process and provide input when needed. Importantly, the team understood the business logic behind our requirements rather than treating them purely as design requests. The result is a website that better connects our different hospitality experiences, makes booking actions easier to reach, and is more practical for our team to manage day to day. Overall, Valmax delivered what we had agreed on and handled a fairly complex project in a clear and organised way.

Web Development Review from Viktoriia Kirkevych
Working with the team on the development of our website was a great experience. Everything went smoothly, and we had excellent cooperation throughout the whole process. A special thanks to Tatyana, Max, and Vlad for their great work, responsiveness and commitment. It was a pleasure working with you as a team. I would definitely recommend them for future web development projects.

As a growing business in Australia, our internal systems had become difficult to manage.

Web Development Review from AJ Canty
We’ve been working with Vention for quite some time and consider them an extension of our team, rather than an offshore vendor. We needed solid mobile developers to work with our in-house engineers to build our Primer SDKs on both mobile platforms. This was not a trivial thing as it required a lot of cross-functional communication, but the Vention team was up to the challenge. They quickly adopted the best practices we follow at Primer and proved to be effective and proactive.

Web Design Review from Nicole Catapano
We needed website design support for a section of our media website, specifically our AI Startup Directory and Funding Tracker. It was a much smaller project than the kind of work Tenet usually takes on, and they initially mentioned that. However, as we came through a friend's referral, they were happy to take it on. The team was professional throughout the project, and Charlotte from their London office was especially supportive and easy to work with. We were pleased with the final design, and it is now live on our website. Overall, a smooth experience and a team we would happily recommend.

UI/UX Design Review from Jasmine Ahluwalia
We hired Tenet for website design, and SEO primarily since they came recommended by another UAE based institute for similar services. But, we ended up collaborating for UI UX Design, website design, brand management, SEO led growth, and a few other strategically curated services. They absolutely knocked it out of the park for us. The results they delivered were absolutely spot on, and the senior management has been very happy. Leads have been compounding month on month, and they've added boosters to our overall growth trajectory. I cannot recommend them enough. They've outperformed almost all KPIs we have planned for the project. Very humble and professional team.

UI/UX Design Review from Sk Rafiqul Islam
We onboarded Tenet a few months back to revamp our website and improving the UI/UX. So far, it is a wonderful journey as within the 30 days, we got our first design wireframe ready and it was great.
If anyone is looking for most affordable and low cost UI UX design service then Tenet might not be the best first. Instead choose Tenet if you're willing to go with best designers and developers.

Really solid team. We had a messy vision for a mobile game and Trifleck helped turn it into a finished game end to end. Beta phase was not painful (which is rare lol) and they kept refining stuff till it felt right. It hit the stores and somehow people liked it so we will take that. Would work with them again for sure.

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.
