Read this before you commit. This company has caused us a lot of emotional abuse. Unreliable, unprofessional, underdelivering. They have lied in our face so many times. They don't respond to the calls, very slow reply from emails, Arun was our main SEO contact and he denies it and replies sometimes a week later.We paid for building a website and also had a 6 month contract for SEO. Altogether $11150. Biggest mistake in our business history. The website building took 8 months and is full of errors and mistakes, that they didn't care to fix it. With the SEO they promised to write one blog a month ; send a monthly keyword ranking report and give us a full access to the site. They FORGOT to write our blogs for 2 full months, we paid $989/monthly, so $1978 for nothing!! This delayed the whole process of ranking. Came out the rest of the blogs are not with SEO content as we haven't ranked anywhere! So in the end it didn't even matter as we didn't rank anyway.We asked the SEO keywords specifically for pressure washing and they didn't even get this to rank but everything else we didn't ask. They also didn't send us full reports and we didn't have access to the site, also no Google Analytics as promised. We feel totally scammed. That's not even it- when the contract ended, they still charged us $989 and when I asked refund it took them 1 month to refund and 3 days later they took the same amount again! Just unbelievable behaviour from a business that is still existing and loaning people's money. Also, we paid full amount for the website and they said if you pay in full you will receive a 5% off ($156 off ) - they didn't apply the discount!!  One day one of their new employees, Theo, (not knowing I am their exsisting  client) called me and said the website is full of errors and not ranking in Google, I said do you know who I am hosting with, he said no, I said with you guys, this guy got super quiet (see Arun's reply from photos). They just made mistake after mistake, did not care at all but money. I hope Karma does it's job and gets their ass.

I see my previous review was deleted when I called KWD out for illegally acquiring my Activate Tamaki Makaurau funds, then misleading me. I understand you are under new management now and would like to sit down and resolve this as all Adam would do is yell and tell me I was wrong.All these bad reviews cant be wrong right? Once resolved I'll change my review, I lost $6000 total, and my website is crap.

We have had a hard time with KWD. there was little improvement in our organic search ratings after 6 months of investment, and we cancelled with the program allowing for the two month suspension period. They continued to charge us after cancellation, and despite promises to return the money we haven’t seen it. This seems to be standard practice for the company judging by other reviews. I would not recommend engaging KWD as it is expensive and ineffective.

These guys are responsive, professional, and produce great quality work with easy, transparent pricing/quotes. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend to others, and really enjoy working with them when we need additional creative/design expertise.

I recently worked with Jamie the team at Paulownia for the branding and website design of my new law firm, Law Collective, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From our very first meeting, Jamie truly understood the vibe I wanted to convey. Their creativity and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of their work.The logo they designed is sophisticated and perfectly encapsulates the essence of my firm. The social media design templates are not only visually appealing but also incredibly functional, making it easy for us to maintain a cohesive online presence. The stationery design is elegant and professional, and we are proud to use it for all our firm's correspondence. But the standout is definitely the website. It’s just beautiful, and reflective of my firm’s identity. It has already received numerous compliments from clients and colleagues.The team at Paulownia were so easy to work with. They made the entire process seamless and enjoyable.

Jamie has been an absolute magician to work with, her visionary approach and ability to listen to far reaching design elements is second to none. The studio is sustainability minded with all they do, which is particularly important for our website design.Don't miss out on working with one of the greats! Everything has been undertaken professionally and in good time. Highly recommend.

I've worked with Jamie and the super-talented, professional Paulownia team on two website projects. The creativity and service delivery have been excellent. I've found response times to be super quick and really enjoy their welcoming, collaborative approach.

Shine Design created and designed my website for me. I have been very pleased with it and it has been a real asset for my business.Sharon’s customer service is fantastic. She really took care to discover what I needed from a website and what would suit me design-wise. She is very proactive and her encouragement was really appreciated.Sharon magically keeps the technical side of things smoothly humming along. It’s been a pleasure to be associated with Shine Design.

I really didn't know where to begin with my new start up online business and I had zero experience. Kit was incredible, taking me through the entire process from logo to launch. Kit's kills and clarity are exceptional. I now feel equipped and ready to take the next steps with a marketing strategy and I'm excited and confident with Kit at the helm it will be perfectly aligned with my goals and vision. If you need help with your business, Kit is your best asset.

I asked Kit Hindin at New Media Design to prepare a new website for my research on Wellbeing Economics. Kit did a superb job and I am thrilled with the result. Kit listened very carefully to everything I wanted, responded immediately to suggestions on the initial drafts and was very helpful to training me to make my own updates. Highly recommended.
