- Gav did a bunch of work for Aura Survey's site. Totally changed the business. His advice and structural changes landed us top of google for our services. Probably one of the best in the UK at what they do. Couldn't recommend them more.
- Katana are superstars. The thing that makes them really stand out from other companies I’ve spoken to. They really take the time to understand a problem before advising on the best way to proceed. This makes me confident that the solutions they propose are optimal!
- I can't recommend the Katana team enough. These guys are extremely knowledgeable, professional and offer extremely good value for money. Meetings were very productive (and enjoyable!), and it was clear the team did their research into my area of work, which would have enabled them to help me even more when we discussed my specific app project. Will definitely be working with Katana again soon.
- Katana Code helped us turn our crazy ideas into reality, in fact, our site is now East Africa's largest premium online dating site thanks to the team at Katana. They offered a very hands on and personal service from start to finish, and continue to do so long after our site was launched. They show great pride in their work and I love that - A real pleasure to work with! We would highly recommend them to others and will continue to use there services.
- A few years ago, I had nothing more than a conceptual idea for a website I wanted to build. Unfortunately, I had zero knowledge of how to build it, or where to start. Enter Katana Code…. Or Gavin and Bob as I like to call them, which incidentally are actually their names’. They are both professional, yet very un-stereotypically approachable for IT geeks. You’ll quickly learn that they have differing skill sets, but as a team they are a formidable partnership, building trust, bringing clarity and above all an instilling confidence. They quickly understood what we wanted to achieve and planned all the required steps and processes to get there. Every detail was meticulously structured, thought out and documented. This was then conveyed to us in layman's terms we could understand and quantify, making the whole process (slightly) less daunting. Time and time again they gave insight, guidance and a fresh perspective of how things could be done, and when required, how they SHOULD be done. Often highlighting things, we hadn’t even considered and regularly going beyond the call of duty to enlighten us. Watch out for Bob though, he has a horrible habit of asking the difficult questions…That deep down inside we know need answered. Starting your own business is daunting enough, and Katana code at very least have removed some of that burden of worry with the reassuring way they go about their business. They still maintain the site on a regular basis and are always responsive to our needs and requests. In short I would have no concerns in recommending them to anyone, and they would be my first (and only) choice should I want to start any new projects in the future.
