Are there any areas they could improve?

I don’t think there’s anything they can improve on.

Any advice for potential customers?

Know what you want, and trust their work. If you don’t know what you need, they’re able to figure that out by asking you questions and having back and forth communication before the project starts — they’re not going to do something you don’t want.
