WWDC: How was your company name chosen?
Koodoz Design: The word kudos always resonated with me. When I looked into it's definition, 'Acclaim or praise for exceptional achievement' - it just worked. The meaning totally encapsulated the design process and seemed fitting to the business. The unique spelling is literally the phonetic spelling of the word.

Buy Australian Made is a small start-up online business. We were looking for a local web design business to help us launch and grow our web presence. Koodoz Design provided prompt responses to all our queries and concerns, always worked within our budget and timeframes, and they communicate in plain English :) Great service and support.

I found Koodoz via a Google search. Their details came up as a sponsored link. (good potential here I thought) Since our first appointment in March 2008 I have commissioned Marc from Koodoz to design & brand 2 separate designs for 2 business's I intended to launch. Both needed, logo, website, stationary, vehicle signage. In other words, a complete image. The result acheived by Marc for both designs was exceptional. In the end I decided to continue with my current business "SitePrep".... now with a twist. We now have an image, something we were lacking, something every business needs in order to gain market recognition and acceptance.... not to mention confidence. SitePrep still does the same work as before. There is different feel now, we are getting calls from companies large and small seeking our specialised services that were previously only available to our small data base of customers.

Apart from a great creative mind. Koodoz is an extremely professional outfit. Skilled in every aspect of design and ideas needed to stand out from the crowd.

Not being an expert in computors i searched around for 2 years for a company who could design a web site like i wanted for a fair and reasonable price. Most were exorbitant and they all wanted to do it differently. When i approched Koodoz they actually lisened and then explained how it would work in language i could understand. They made me feel confident that i would get what i wanted which is difficult because i was not sure i even knew what i have wanted!
It took 6 months to get the site up and that was because of me as i had to write the articles and find the pictures.
During this time Koodoz worked with me to help fine tune the site before going "live" to ensure the site would meet my every expectation. I can honestly say the Web Site Koodoz designed for me exceeded my expectations, it was easy to do and caused me so little stress i do not know why i did not do it sooner! The new web site has been extremely well recieved in the market place providing customers with a strong referance point. Since having this web site i have found that our corporate customers treat us differently than before. I feel this is due to the professional image our web site presents as most have commented on how much info we have on the site and how they did not realise how much we did. I will continue to utilise the services of Koodoz for not just web site design but other areas that require artistic talent or electronic media presentation.

The staff at Koodoz are always providing their best efforts consistently relevant to meeting the goals and objectives of the business at hand. They are very adept at ensuring consistency of brand presence and creating a flow through of the key elements across all other communication mediums of the business, to the external environment. koodoz are more than a mere service provider - they collaborate and over time become your business's creative team. And in this respect they take the time to get to know, understand, and act in the very best interests of the individual client. I do not believe anyone will be disappointed. Well done guys, keep up the fabulous work!
