For a travel agency, we don’t really work in an office that much. Our work is based on what people see on the internet so we needed a platform whereby we can market our business widely.

After they created the website for us, which was so beautiful, our business improved. We started getting more exposure and people could trust us more. When you are working just with Facebook people will trust you, but not that much. After we had our own official website, most people had some kind of trust in our travel agency. Over this time, we have really grown, and I think it was a positive thing that we added to the company.

We mostly used WhatsApp, calls, and email to communicate. We communicated daily. They created something and then would send it back to me to make sure that I understood and to make sure that I liked what they were doing already even before they finished doing it. After that, they showed me a rough sketch of what the website would look like and I loved it.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Even after they created the website, if I have a problem adding something on the dashboard, they are always there to help. They are still very helpful to me.

Honestly, I don’t know what I can say where they can improve because their service was so good. I think they should continue having that great service.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I think this could be the best thing you can ever do for your company. I would advise people to look at their work first because you won’t have any doubt about investing in a website with them. Seeing their previous work will give you the encouragement to work with them because they are simply the best.
