Manuel Colom UX Director at Yummly

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

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.

Branding Review from Anonymous
I'm a department director at a consumer technology protection company, overseeing our website and Amazon channels. We engaged Netalico Commerce to implement our rebrand and completely overhaul our website's frontend.Netalico successfully implemented our new design and developed custom features for our e-commerce platform. They've become our web development partners, continuously adding integrations and improvements. Using Magento, PHP, and SQL, they built custom features including product registration for lifetime warranties and insurance claim management directly through our site.In 2021, they executed a complex multi-company project integrating our insurance plan data into POS systems across North America, enabling virtual insurance sales at retail locations.I work directly with Mark (CTO & Founder), Emily (E-Commerce Solutions Specialist), Bianca (Project Manager), and Lisa (Chief Design Officer). We've been working together since May 2020 on a monthly retainer basis.Netalico has executed all projects exceptionally well, consistently meeting deadlines and launch dates with accurate quotes. We communicate through weekly meetings, Slack, chat, and email.What impresses me most is their outstanding team structure. They have talented, highly skilled members organized efficiently for optimal project delivery. They make the client experience seamless.

Beauty Marketing Review from Anonymous
I manage a beauty brand, and we engaged Netalico Commerce to handle our web development and email marketing needs.After an initial strategy call to understand our priorities, Netalico Commerce developed a comprehensive plan to address our requirements. They now maintain our Shopify e-commerce platform and implement ongoing updates. The site features shopping capabilities, a blog, and class registration.Katherine, our Director of Operations and primary contact, leads the engagement with support from her design team. The results have been impressive - our conversion rate has increased, and they've outperformed previous developers in efficiency, response time, and organization. They consistently deliver on schedule and within budget, using Trello, email, and Zoom for seamless communication.Their standout quality is their ability to efficiently manage multiple projects simultaneously while maintaining high standards across all deliverables. Katherine excels at prioritizing our needs and finding effective solutions.Their onboarding process for new clients is excellent - I highly recommend utilizing Trello for optimal collaboration.

Website Redesign Review from Anonymous
I hired Netalico to redesign and develop our e-commerce site for our historic lighting and home decor business. We needed to modernize our outdated WordPress platform and handle our highly customizable products.Netalico rebuilt our site from scratch, creating a beautiful platform that seamlessly manages our complex product customization and integrates with external apps. They developed an efficient product page system and added content capabilities we previously lacked.We worked primarily with Bianca (project manager), a developer, and Lisa (designer). The site launched successfully and maintains our steady revenue stream while delivering the exact customer experience we envisioned.What distinguishes Netalico is their willingness to understand our unique needs rather than forcing us into a template. They listened carefully and tailored their approach accordingly.

I worked with Nova Era Agency, a San Francisco-based web design agency, for a full website redesign and couldn’t be happier with the results. From the beginning, their team was professional, responsive, and clearly experienced in building modern, high-performing websites. They took the time to understand my business goals and delivered a clean, visually polished site that’s fast, user-friendly, and optimized for conversions.What really stood out was their attention to detail and clear communication throughout the entire process from strategy and UX to design and launch. It felt great working with a local SF web design team that truly understands both branding and performance. If you’re looking for a reliable web design agency in San Francisco, I highly recommend Nova Era Agency.

i worked with Nova Era Agency, a San Francisco web design and SEO agency, to build a website for my online book business, and the experience has been outstanding. The site they designed looks great, is easy to use, and actually helps convert visitors into customers instead of just sitting there looking nice.I’m also using their ongoing SEO services, and the impact on my business has honestly been amazing. Over time, I’ve seen more organic traffic, better visibility on Google, and a noticeable increase in sales. It’s clear they understand SEO for online businesses, not just basic optimization.What I appreciate most is that they’re consistent and proactive. They don’t disappear after launch they keep improving the site and SEO month after month. If you’re looking for a reliable web design and SEO agency in San Francisco, especially for an e-commerce or online business, I highly recommend Nova Era Agency.

Rena Heegaard's Review Sourced from Google
We had the great opportunity to get to know and partner with Andrew Bowen from Unbox Product Development. Our partnership began in 2020 with the initial concept, design, development, manufacturing, sourcing, and launch of our first product, Potty Pillow. We worked with Andrew and his team through the entire process of bringing this product to life, and I am absolutely thrilled to share my experience working with him. From the first time we met to the delivery of our first manufacturing run and everything in between, their expertise, creativity, innovative approach, professionalism, and dedication far exceeded our expectations.What sets Unbox apart is its unmatched proficiency in combining creativity with practicality. They didn't just create a product; they created an experience that resonated with our customers and one that’s revolutionizing the way people experience comfort in the bathroom today. Unbox’s attention to detail was evident throughout the process, from the sleek and elegant design and the premium materials sourced to addressing the hygiene factor of the product. It was clear that they were committed to the success of our brand.If you're looking for a partner who will not only exceed your expectations but walk with you through your journey, I wholeheartedly recommend Andrew Bowen and the Unbox Product Development team. Partnering with Andrew has been the best business decision we’ve made, and we would not have been at this stage of our business without him. Andrew has been a pivotal part of our business, and we look forward to our continued partnership.

Jason Litner's Review Sourced from Google
I can't say enough to recommend Andrew Bowen and his design team at Unbox. Unbox has been our exclusive design and development partner for a complicated, multi-year hardware project after having started the project elsewhere. Andrew is not only an exceptionally talented and creative designer, but also an extremely effective project manager. He has competently and efficiently steered us through the design for manufacturing process and met each occasional and inevitable hardware hiccup with solutions that are both ingenious and cost-effective. The team at Unbox just will not stop until they have the solution you need! With Unbox, you get the personal touch and attention to detail of a small team with the capabilities and know how of a larger firm. These include deep contacts with overseas manufacturing, part sourcing, prototyping and oversight of various engineering disciplines. Our project required specialized knowledge in fluidics, electrical engineering, and firmware development, among others- all managed by the team at Unbox. What I admire most about Unbox is how personally involved they are- Andrew and his team treat your baby like their own and are incredible stewards of your finances. If you are looking to launch an elegantly-designed product on time and on budget, I can think of no one better than the Unbox team to help bring your product to life. Feel free to contact me with any questions.
