Every time we do a new layout of the website, there are always people who complain but that is very minimal if at all. We have competitors coming into a very similar space, seeing what we’re doing, and seeing that we’re doing well. They’re trying to mimic our business model, but they really fail in a lot of UI and UX perspectives.

Many of the user-flow elements are very clean due to Codal’s guidance and direction. Working with Codal was a great experience.
