ANML Reviews & Testimonials
Manuel Colom UX Director at Yummly
5.0★
Product Design Review from Manuel Colom
Working with ANML on the Yummly app experience and the Yummly Smart Thermometer (IoT) was an outstanding collaboration. Yummly combined personalized recipe discovery, meal planning, and guided cooking into a highly curated food experience, while the Smart Thermometer extended that ecosystem into connected cooking with real-time temperature tracking and assisted preparation workflows. As Director of UX at Yummly, I worked closely with ANML throughout both initiatives, and they operated almost as a seamless extension of our internal design team. Their work consistently demonstrated excellent design craft, strong product thinking, and a highly collaborative mindset. Beyond delivering high-quality UX and visual design, their contribution helped sharpen and strengthen the overall value proposition of the products by making complex cooking experiences feel approachable, premium, and intuitive for users.
Nathan Thornburgh CEO at Roads and Kingdoms
5.0★
Web Design Review from Nathan Thornburgh
As Anthony Bourdain's partners, we were approached by CNN to create an immersive digital site that would provide a beautiful home for each destination covered by Bourdain's show Parts Unknown. It was a huge task not least because there were already close to 100 destinations to integrate into a usable global site. But also because the site was meant to live up to the beauty and aesthetic of the television program. And it needed to be done in a way that satisfied both our mainstream luxury advertisers (like LandRover, ANA, and more) but also the famously high standards of Bourdain himself. ANML engaged in this 18-month design and build process with outstanding workmanship and creative decision-making. They navigated wildly different and demanding stakeholders. And in the end they built a site that still looks fresh even nearly a decade later. If you want to make lasting work, there is no one else I could recommend more.

Web Design Review from Alex Lacerda
We partnered with ANML to evolve our digital experience in a way that stayed true to our brand while modernizing how we present our products and story. As a company with a long history in music, it was important to find a partner who could respect that legacy while helping us move forward.ANML took the time to understand our brand, our audience, and the role our products play for musicians. They built on our existing foundation and translated it into a more cohesive and intuitive experience that better reflects who we are today.Their team brought strong thinking across UX and design, helping us improve how content is structured, how products are presented, and how users navigate the experience. The collaboration was smooth and highly responsive throughout.The end result is a more polished and modern experience that still feels authentic to our brand. ANML was a thoughtful and reliable partner, and we would highly recommend them.

Web Design Review from Grace Dahlstrom
DesignX completely transformed our web presence. They built us a custom e-commerce site with SEO optimization, CRM integration, micro animations, and conversion-focused design, all delivered on schedule. The team was responsive, professional, and genuinely invested in making our brand shine. They went above and beyond on copywriting, image optimization, page speed, and responsive design. The only point is attention to detail as several times an issue had to be mentioned 5 separate times before it got fixed.

UI/UX Design Review from Aron Alexander
We were searching for a group to assist us in creating the UI and structure of a new platform for our customers. Our clients needed to be able to easily and effectively manage the components of their programs through the portal, which had to be incredibly user-friendly. For this project, both new user flows and existing flows that matched the new framework had to be designed.DesignX delivered an excellent service that far above expectations. Our project was under a strict deadline. The DesignX team collaborated with us from the beginning to thoroughly grasp the project's scope and deliverables, even with the little time we had at our disposal. The designer collaborated extensively with us during the project to maintain our objectives and

UI/UX Design Review from Ron Williams
DesignX helped us revamp the entire UI/UX of our patient portal. Initially, we had a couple of meetings, during which my team showed DesignX our current design assets. Then, they created some UI/UX design mock-ups based on what we wanted and focused on the platforms ease of use.Throughout the project, we went back and forth with DesignX team to discuss things we wanted to change. DesignX gave us different variations and versions of the UI/UX designs and let us pick between them.We recently finished implementing the UI/UX designs that DesignX created for us, so we launched our new portal recently. Thus far, we've received a few positive reviews from our patients on it. They're very happy with the new platform, as it looks much nicer and much cleaner, and its also easier to use. Additionally, we were absolutely pleased with the quality of the work we received.

Working with AgileTech has been an amazing experience, especially when it comes to creating a personalized e-learning program for our IT services business. We were pleasantly surprised by how adaptable and scalable the platform developed by the AgileTech Team was. Their proficiency with user-friendly course administration and community participation technologies enabled us to provide a thorough instructional resource catered to our customers' particular requirements. The platform has greatly improved our operational efficiency, and we are amazed by its capacity to manage heavy traffic with ease and offer comprehensive reporting and analytics. The platform remained successful and user-friendly because of the team's dedication to continuous support and their quick response to criticism.

Software Development Review from Preci Capiral
AgileTech provided a superb Learning Management System (LMS) that creatively and precisely addressed the intricate needs of our organization. Within a scalable, completely customizable platform, the LMS made it possible to create comprehensive courses, administer student tests, engage the community, and obtain real-time data insights. AgileTech's modular and agile approach made sure that every component, from the user-friendly course builder to the sophisticated analytics and communication tools, was customized to meet our demands despite the difficulties of developing such a feature-rich system. In order to guarantee perfect scalability and zero downtime, even with high user concurrency, AgileTech used a potent tech stack that included PHP, React, and AWS. Their post-launch assistance, which included frequent training sessions and upgrades, gave our staff the means to fully use the LMS's potential. This project was a testament to AgileTech's technical skill, rapid deployment, and dedication, making them an outstanding choice for educational technology development.

I had the pleasure of working with RNO1 on a web transformation project in CalypsoAI and couldn't be happier. Right from the start, it was clear that they had a very skilled workforce, that had data architects as well as UX designers on board.They gave us a first implementation of your platform to work before your deadline and this demonstrates that they are conscious of time and the quality they want to offer. The look and feel design talents of RN01 are on par with the finest User Interface design and UX skills, moreover, the backend programming is also excellent.Most noticeable was their ability to fit into our working environment and improve the efficiency of our team while advancing the projects. Well done and organized they ensured the entire period was smooth and productive.As for web design and CMS development, I have no reservations in recommending RN01. They can really be considered as an innovation partner.

We noticed an immediate difference in how prospects responded to our proposals and presentations.One area that could be improved is adding a bit more variety in the initial concept stage. However, the revisions we received quickly addressed our feedback, and the process stayed on track without delays.Overall, Zamora Design proved to be a reliable partner who blends creativity with a strong sense of business needs. We would recommend them to any company looking for branding that feels both modern and practical.

Brand Strategy Review from Greg Smith
We partnered with Zamora Design to redesign our pitch deck and create a more professional brand identity. From the start, Borja worked directly with us, which gave the project a very personal and strategic touch. He didnt just design slides; he helped us sharpen our story, improve clarity, and highlight the most important metrics that investors care about.The process was smooth and highly collaborative. Borja was transparent with timelines, gave clear milestones, and consistently delivered ahead of schedule. The new deck and refreshed branding made an immediate impactwe presented to investors with confidence and successfully closed funding shortly after.What stood out the most was how ROI-focused the design was. Everything created wasnt just beautiful but also functional, ensuring our message converted. This is rare in design agencies.I would highly recommend Zamora Design to any startup or business that needs strategic storytelling and high-quality design. The investment was more than worth it.

Digital Services Review from Paige Walker
Miracuves Solutions project management was generally effective, delivering items on time with some exceptions due to occasional delays and misunderstandings. However, they were responsive and quick to resolve issues, ensuring we were always on the same page. Their commitment to clear communication and problem-solving was evident in how they addressed our needs and managed the project.

We had the pleasure of working with Pill Creative Studio for our company branding, logo design, and website development, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the results! From start to finish, the team was incredibly easy to work with, always bringing a positive, collaborative energy to every meeting. The logo options presented to us were creative, fresh, and aligned perfectly with our vision. We really loved the color schemes that were suggested as well. Veronika and Matthew took the time to understand our brand's values and goals, making the entire process feel seamless and tailored to our needs. We have gotten several compliments from our employees and clients since we launched our new brand! Their passion for what they do is evident in the quality of their work and their commitment to delivering exactly what we were looking for.

UI/UX Design Review from Micaela Fouhy
Neuron designed a responsive website for us to help depict a unique and elevated island lifestyle for a luxury residential development. They were responsible for prototyping, wireframing, and visual design. They created a site map & offered a few different approaches to the site from a visual design standpoint. Overall, it was great to work with them! Neuron didn’t just think about what's needed on the site now but they also designed for the future.

Over the past year, I have retained Neuron UX on behalf of my client in two separate engagements.

The attention to detail and creativity they bring to each project is extraordinary.Neuron UX isn't just a vendor; they are a trusted partner and integral to our team. I can't recommend Neuron UX enough for any business seeking top-tier user experience design.

Mobile App Development Review from MaryRuth Ghiyam
Kaizen Apps is developing a mobile app for us. We provided information to jump start the project, and they gave us samples of similar projects they've done to give us an idea of what to expect. They provided a detailed scope of work that was over 100-pages long. We had several exchanges back and forth to tweak requirements for a few weeks. Our respective lawyers also looked over the scope. After the scope was approved, the team got into the project launch and began the design phase. The team started with a low-fidelity design and built swim-lanes. After that, they moved into high-fidelity design, which they're about to finish.Additionally, the Kaizen Apps team provides us with consultancy services to help us grow the app. For example, they've advised us on handling customer service and tools we can use to help with that aspect. They've also connected us to other parties that can help us.

Web Development Review from Vadim Kagan
Our company hired Kaizen Apps to develop our site backend database and front-end. They did a fantastic job. The site was fully coded, from start to finish. It wasn't on WordPress, wix, etc. It also needed to contain a database. There were so many guidelines to follow that I was impressed that each was fulfilled with ease. I was impressed by the ability of receiving a fully working site and also having received SEO & Google Ads setups. An all-around company.

Web Design Review from Kenneth Barrett
Kaizen Apps provided a full redesign of our website and recreated it in WordPress in a fashion where we can easily make changes without them. Website redesign included homepage development, some coded items to reflect our framework, design ideas to display unique value propositions and many solutions page. The team was responsive and delivered in a timely fashion when we wanted launch to be beginning of the year. The website redesign as offered us a fresh look to reflect our updated solutions/services. It has also helped us on the backend to easily make some changes ourselves.The quick-turn around on requests and design items. Also Kaizen Apps availability to hop on a call - which at times was late at night when we were trying to meet a deadline. Very flexible and their team was committed to pulling it which exceeded my expectations. Kaizen Apps is also very clear on what is feasible, what is not, and price points accordingly - straight shooter - which was very helpful as we were developing ideas.

Qualimatrix Technologies team designed our logo. First, we asked them to provide us with various logo options ranging from hyper-conservative to ultra-modern. Then, they created four templates, two were more straightforward, and two were more modern with bold colors. Once we chose the template that spoke to us most as an organization, we chose a font, and Qualimatrix Technologies managed the final logo design process from beginning to end.After delivering the final logo, they built our website from scratch using a WordPress template. The website is our digital factory and lead generation tool for customers to engage with us online. The team also helped us with keyword research and provided website SEO and copywriting services. We collaborated with them on different pages to ensure they contained the right keywords for Google and Bing. We host the website internally, but they occasionally help with maintenance requests.The website functions very well, and were pleased with the core site vitals. Since were still getting indexed, its too early to see the results of our website traffic. However, were heading in the right direction, and the site has received positive internal feedback regarding its design. We've been tracking our keywords and have climbed to the first page of the search results for some of them. We've also run technical SEO audits that have garnered positive results.

The manual testing has provided confidence that our application is stable and functioning. The amount of progress we have made with automation testing has been incredible. We use a custom CLI that the team has been able to get accustomed to and we can now run hundreds of automated tests before deploying. Communication has been sufficiently managed over Zoom and Slack. We have a weekly standup at the start of the week and have plenty of dialog over Slack throughout the week. The team sends end of day and end of week summaries which are great to understand and track progress and the team was very quick to onboard and begin testing. They have been incredibly thorough and have proved to be an invaluable part of the QA process.

Oludamilare Adesola Review from Google

Oludamilare Adesola's Review Sourced from Google
Most of the glowing reviews here don’t seem to be from real clients. My experience was the opposite.This company is grossly incompetent. They charged high fees but delivered sub-par work, riddled with delays and headaches that continued even after the contract ended.They were hired to design a web app, but the end product was so poor that I had to bring in engineers to fix the mess they left behind. There were issues at every stage of the project, from design to deployment.What stings the most is that I was the one who recommended them to my team because a friend knew the owner. I deeply regret that recommendation.The only reason I’m giving two stars instead of one is that the team, Lanre especially, were at least cooperative — but cooperation is pointless (and frankly annoying) when the work is fundamentally flawed.My advice: stick to using them only for basic website creation, and hire a skilled freelancer for more advanced projects.My advice to Chisom: It’s unfortunate that our experience turned out so poorly, because your company is a great concept with a lot of potential. Protect the brand you’ve worked so hard to build — the sweat and tears show — by investing in skilled engineers and raising delivery standards. Otherwise, you risk frustrated clients, avoidable disputes, and damage to the reputation you’ve worked to establish.

If there was a thai bistro that could heal the soul, this is the place.Beautiful food, cozy atmosphere, and wonderfully kind service to match. Everything is authentic, even right down to the vibes. You can feel confident that not only will you have an amazing meal, but you'll leave feeling simply — good. In the purest form of good that is.I will be back time and time and wish this place so much success. Cheers!Pictured: Summer Pineapple Fried Rice

This place is amazing. We go there basically every Friday. We never go anywhere else for Thai food in the Valley. I visited Thailand many times and this place is just as good.My favorite dish Pad Thai is delicious. Best appetizer is Crab Rangoon. The Larb, Crab fried rice and the curries are amazing too. Big shout out to the waitress. She‘s so attentive and just a lovely human being. Great job to the whole team!

Trevor F.'s Review Sourced from Google
Jesse and Dymic are committed to creating a long-term partnership through open communication and listening to their customers. While some of the big boys make you commit a full year at a time, and then disappear, Dymic doesn't play those game, and relies on results and regular communication. They are experienced professionals who aren't afraid to try new things.

Matt Broughton's Review Sourced from Google
We worked with Dymic Digital to redesign and develop our school’s website, transitioning from a dated proprietary platform to a modern, open-source CMS. Their team was responsive, professional, and easy to work with throughout the process. They managed the project well, offered helpful guidance aligned with our budget and timeline, and were flexible when we needed additional time. We appreciated their support and would happily recommend them.

As a small business owner, I know how crucial it is to see a solid return on investment (ROI) when it comes to marketing. With so many companies out there promising results, it’s hard to know who to trust. After over a decade of running my family business, I've encountered countless marketing companies that make big claims but fail to deliver. However, Dymic Digital is a different story.I've been working with Dymic for almost two years, and their team has exceeded my expectations in every way. They don’t just talk the talk—they walk the walk. The phone isn’t just ringing, but the quality of leads I’m getting is exactly what I need to grow my business. Sean is nothing short of a wizard when it comes to SEO and strategy, and I’ve seen remarkable, steady growth since he took over. His professionalism and expertise truly shine in the results I can see every day.Aaron has been instrumental in ensuring my customer reviews and engagement are consistently high, and Cassandra’s behind the scenes work is equally invaluable. What I really appreciate about Dymic is that they treat my business like it matters, I'm not just another client or number to them. They're attentive, responsive, and never hard to reach when I need something.The results may not happen overnight, good marketing takes time. But trust me, Dymic delivers the kind of long-term, meaningful growth that every small business owner hopes for. I'm excited to see where our continued partnership takes us, and I couldn’t be more grateful to have found a team that not only gets results but genuinely cares about my success. Jesse and his team with their combined efforts have been essential to my business. Thank you Dymic!

Aman Setia's Review Sourced from Google
The worst experience with the company. First they will call you and will ask you to go for 2 hours exam just like a half yearly or annual exam conducted during school time. After that they will ask you to wait for long. The interviewer will come and will ask only about your past company to attain it's strategies to move ahead and then they will ask you to go as we have a negative results regarding you. They will make you feel comfortable as if you will be selected and then the interviewer himself will be unsecured after seeing your profile, aa you are going to be a threat to them. As of now, they are not having any urgent requirements but calling you to waste your precious time only. Prefer not to go for an interview over here.

Squareboat has been a special part of my journey as a Mobile Engineer for the past 2 years (and counting). What truly makes it a great place to work is the people. You’re surrounded by incredibly smart driven individuals. That’s what makes showing up to work every day genuinely enjoyable.From collaborating on diverse, challenging projects to learning from peers across different teams, the experience has been both rewarding and memorable. The culture is relaxed yet focused, and there’s always room to grow, explore, and contribute meaningfully. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to join a solid tech team!

Experience at Square Boat has been awesome! I've felt super welcome from day one. Even though I'm just an intern, I feel like my input matters and I've had chances to develop skills I didn't anticipate.I'm early in my professional journey, but working at Square Boat has given me a real glimpse of what quality service actually looks like. The dedication to clients is genuinely inspiring.

Frequently Asked Questions About Web Design Companies in California
What red flags should I watch for when evaluating web design firms in California?
The most common red flags when evaluating web design firms in California are vague contracts, portfolios with no performance data, and agencies that can't explain their process before you sign. If something feels unclear in the sales stage, it won't get clearer once the project starts.
Pay attention to:
Portfolios with no measurable outcomes, only visuals, no conversion or performance data
Vague contracts without milestones, revision limits, or a defined handoff process
No post-launch support plan, or support billed at surprise hourly rates
Designs that look templated across clients, same layout, different logo
Pressure to sign before receiving a detailed proposal
What do California web design agencies charge that most buyers don't expect?
Most California web design agencies quote a project price that doesn't include content migration, platform licensing, or post-launch support — costs that can add thousands to the final invoice. Always ask for a line-item breakdown before signing.
Content migration: Moving existing pages, copy, and SEO data is rarely included by default
CMS licensing: Platforms like Webflow or Shopify carry ongoing subscription fees
Hosting and domain management: Often invoiced separately after launch
Extra revision rounds: Anything beyond the contracted limit is typically billed hourly
Post-launch fixes: Many web design companies in California treat these as a separate retainer
How do I know if a California web design firm has real eCommerce or SaaS experience?
Ask for evidence, not examples. A California web design firm with genuine eCommerce or SaaS experience can show you conversion rate improvements, platform-specific expertise (Shopify, Magento, custom builds), and decisions they made about checkout UX or onboarding flows, not just what the site looks like.
If their case studies only show visual redesigns with no business metrics attached, their experience is likely surface-level. Ask for a reference you can actually call.
When does it make sense to hire a local California web design agency?
When proximity adds real value to the work. That means in-person discovery sessions, brand shoots, or ongoing collaboration that benefits from being in the same room.
It also makes sense if you're in a regulated industry, like healthcare, legal, or finance, where a California web design agency familiar with state compliance standards reduces your risk.
For fully remote projects with a clear brief and defined deliverables, geography matters far less than process and expertise.
What does a bad web design engagement look like, and how do I avoid it?
Most failed projects fail because of misaligned expectations that nobody caught early. The pattern is usually the same: no staged delivery, no named point of contact, and scope changes handled informally until costs spiral.
Require milestone-based delivery so you're reviewing work in stages, not at the end
Get a named project lead in writing before work starts
Make sure the contract defines what triggers a change order
Should I start with a pilot project or commit to a full engagement upfront?
A pilot makes sense when you haven't worked with the agency before, and the full scope is large or high stakes. A smaller paid task, such as a landing page, a design audit, or a single feature, tells you how they communicate, how they handle feedback, and whether their process matches what they promised in the proposal.
That said, not every California web design firm offers pilots, and some projects don't lend themselves to it. If the agency has strong references from similar projects and a contract with clear milestones and exit clauses, committing upfront is a reasonable call.
How do I compare two web designers in California who look equally qualified on paper?
Send both a detailed brief and watch how they respond: what they ask, what they miss, how long it takes. That tells you more than their portfolio.
Then ask each one how they handle scope changes mid-project. Vague answers here become expensive problems later.
The designers who ask better questions during the proposal stage almost always run better projects.
What should I expect week by week in the first 60 days after hiring?
A well-structured engagement with web design companies in California follows a clear arc: discovery first, structure second, visuals third. Agencies that skip straight to design generate the most expensive revision cycles.
