Reviews
I have been involved in small business now for nearly ten years and in that time I have had to utilise the skills of external companies for a myriad of different reasons and although generally things get done to a reasonable standard it is rare that a company will actually exceed my expectations.
This has been the case with Marc and his team at Koodoz who have worked so hard on everything from our company logo and letter heads to our paper advertising and web site. We are particular about what we want and regardless of our request Koodoz has managed to incorporate our wishes in a mode and style that by far surpasses what we would have come up with alone.
All the work performed by this company has been of a high standard but I personally feel the work they have done on our website is by far the best and is now the flagship of our advertising campaign. I cannot recommend this company more highly.
Koodoz make the whole process of designing a website simple and enjoyable. No request is too hard and we were kept informed every step of the way. Koodoz took the time to understand our business and what we want to achieve from the website and so they were able to design a site that was perfect for us.
Everyone at Koodoz is great to deal with and they are always quick to get back to you. They take the time to make sure we understand our options and are happy with the progress.
Koodoz are professional and innovative and it shows in their work and how they deal with their clients.
Koodoz Design comments:
Thank you, Veronica, for a wonderful testimonial.
We're really glad Johansson Solicitors is happy with all the sites we have developed to date and we are certain we will be able to continue develop innovative ideas to promote Johansson's online ventures, in the future!
All the best - Koodoz Design
Koodoz has a process which was efficient. They were able to help me with a concept for my HR toolkit business which was intuitively very close to what I had in mind. The design and development went on with minimal contact but check-ins at the right time to ensure key design issues were covered. The development phase was also streamlined. At all times they responded quickly to changes and requests and there were no hidden costs or time issues.
Would highly recommend Marc and his team, their advice and service was great and I sensed they were keen to try something new and make it work. Would highly recommend for their professionalism, friendliness and responsiveness.
Koodoz Design comments:
Catherine,
Just received your glowing review!! Thank you for the kind words - it means a lot and we really appreciate it.
We're glad you're happy with the outcome of the site, and we look forward to assisting you with any further developments.
Kind regards,
Marc Katsambis
Koodoz listened to our suggestions and needs and returned with a great concept. They kept in contact with us throughout the process showing us what had been created to date and accepted both criticism and comments. Nothing was too much for them and they did their best to accomodate all our needs. The website is great and I highly recommend them.
Marc, Daniel and the team at Koodoz Design have been excellent to work with. We have found them collaborative, professional and willing to contribute strong ideas to improve the initial brief for the website. Their attention to detail in design has exceeded our expectations and the technical support has been excellent both through the build, launch and ongoing management. They has been able to communicate clearly with us without jargon, and have been very transparent throughout the whole process regards timing and costs. I would recommend them on to anyone requiring a retail website. We are continuing our relationship with Koodoz with the maintenance of our website and additional offline marketing materials.
The team at Koodoz design far exceeded my expectations right across the board. Not only was the service (and my experience of the process of having a website developed) friendly and engaging, they created excceptional quality creative design in a short turn around time. The construction of my website - from initial meeting to completion - proceeded rapidly and professionally. Koodoz staff were always available to recieve input and I always felt in the centre of my website design (i.e. they listened!). Their knowledge of internet search engines and terms to ensure my website appears high in the prioirty of search engines, such as Google, is exceptional. At no point was I dissatisfied and I doubt that there is anything they couldn't do with web creative design if asked. I am confident that I could not have received better service or production from any other company.
Koodoz design were great to work with on our website redesign. They were good at listening to our needs and dealt with unexpected complications quickly. They kept me informed all the way through the process and the product was very good value when compared to the many other quotes we received in early research stages.
We're very happy with the end result and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Koodoz to others.
I would highly reccomend Koodoz Design. Designing a website is a process which requires strong interpersonal and communication skills. Listening carefully to your client and being able to capture something of their passion and style is so important. I felt Koodoz Design worked extremely hard in this area. I felt very much part of the process and I am delighted with the end result. They had the unenviable task of designing a website that needed to appeal to a wide audience - parents, teachers and students and their technical expertise and strong background in design, ensured that this was successful. I have appreciated the level of contact too, once the website went 'live'. Marc set aside time to teach me how to use the various aspects of the website - newsletter/blog/social media and has given valuable feedback as I take ownership of the site and start producing blog entries etc. This service, I feel is exceptional but something I have come to expect from their team. Koodoz Design has since taken on the task of designing my company business cards. Designing the website was more than a simple transaction, as Koodoz Design will be a valuable resource for me as I move forward.
We are extremely satisfied with both the process and the result for the eziVase website project.
Marc and his team listened to what we required and delivered a website that satisfies all of our prerequisites.
Our company has several websites and one of the key challenges we have faced in the past is finding a web company that has the ability to provide high quality design and programming services. We have found that many companies are generally proficient in only one or the other. Koodoz is the full package providing a high standard in both web design and programming.
I highly recommend Koodoz Design.
We had the very exciting privilege of commissioning Koodoz Design to design our new program Kids In Focus Queenland Gold Coast Drug Council Inc. These guys were amazing they knew exactly what I wanted and did this job in a very tight time frame I have no hesitation in recommending them to any new or existing organisation that wants to develop a fabulous web page. This page they did for us presents the program in exaclty they way we wanted.
Well done Marc and your team
Many Thanks

Koodoz Design comments:
Thanks for the great review Suzi. It was a pleasure working with you as well, and we're glad you love the site: http://www.kidsinfocusqld.org.au
It's a hatrick for Koodoz Design. Marc has developed 3 websites for me, each one outstanding in their own right.
Confidence in your business is acheived in many ways, one of these ways is your image. A great all round design branding concept that Marc has created every time has me oozing with confidence each time I introduce my business to new and old clients. Koodoz is alway my first stop when I have a new idea!
I would like to thank Marc Katsambis and the team at Koodoz Design for the fantastic job they did on my company website which surpassed all my expectations. They worked tirelessly to accommodate my wishes and showed great creative skill and attention to detail throughout the whole process. They also kept me thoroughly informed at all times.
Marc was a great source of information and ideas as to how best to promote my website and obviously has a thorough understanding of his field. He also took time to understand my particular professional niche and this is clearly reflected in the end result.
I will continue to use Koodoz Design for all of my graphic and web design needs and have no hesitation in recommending their excellent services.
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.
Koodoz has been instrumental in establishing our brand presence and recommending strategies for us to consolidate our online journey. 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!
