Absolutely five stars...I approached Mark with a wish list for an e-commerce website, lifestyle photography, and social media content that will communicate the brand to my customers, which he delivered on design, functionality, ease of use...A very professional experience.
Mark, I appreciate you creating my websites with me. Not only are you quick and creative, but you have a natural eye for color and design. I enjoyed collaborating with you over these weeks and am very happy with the result...Your patience with me as I struggled to determine my needs along the way was a godsend. I'm so looking forward to our continued collaboration. - Matthew Levy
Mark and Studio Akāw have listened to both what we need and what we want, both content and creative-wise in the process of building our new website. We are absolutely delighted with the results and can't thank Mark enough.
Very professional, Mark created exactly what we were looking for in a timely manner. Highly recommended! Couldn't be happier, thanks again :)
Mark went through the entire process with me and let me have complete creative control, making it still my project (as I'd wanted), but setting it in foundations of seamless functionality and years of design and technological experience. I recommend Mark to anybody who wants a slick website...
An amazing web designer. He took my web page from 0 to 100 and fast! I am so impressed by Mark's professionalism, efficiency, and creativity. In fact, I've just employed him to do another website for me. Great work, consistent work, with Mark & Studio Akāw. Try him, you won't be disappointed!
Mark designed my website and guided me throughout the process, start to finish. It's quite a niche project, but Mark tuned into what I wanted straight away! More than happy! 10/10!!
Fantastic service and communication. Mark's concept for my logo was spot on! Highly recommend Akāw for all your business graphic needs.
Mark did a great job of redesigning my website from the ground up, and I am now reaping the rewards of this in an increased online presence that is definitely bringing more work my way...I would not hesitate to recommend Mark and Akāw.
