Five weeks ago, I was a first-time Codeable user looking for a developer to build our entire website based on a static design we supplied. If you're like me, I was searching through reviews to find a highly recommended developer who had completed a project just like ours. It was a bit overwhelming, and I was nervous about investing in a platform I hadn't heard of before with a major investment. This is when I found Salman & Saad Lakhani. Salman & Saad Lakhani have been nothing short of exceptional. They have constantly gone above and beyond to build a more responsive, optimised website for us. From the moment we selected them, they took our designs and worked to build a literally pixel-perfect version of how we envisioned the website. For context, we have built four websites with other developers previously, and any ask felt like trying to get blood from a stone. Salman & Saad Lakhani were available nearly 24/7, and we genuinely felt like they wanted to make the best site possible as much as we did. In addition to this, they created an entire suite of videos to show us how to make updates and changes to our website moving forward. If you're looking for a developer to build an entire website that's optimised and responsive, Salman & Saad Lakhani are the team for the job. We cannot recommend them highly enough.

Salman was absolutely wonderful to work with. Before I even selected him, he asked excellent questions about the project and then thoroughly outlined the project scope. While working together, he was extremely responsive, and his communication was very clear and concise. He offered innovative solutions and was very open to iterating until everything worked perfectly. I would not hesitate to work with Salman again on a future project. Thanks for the excellent service!

Why did we choose that rating??? Really??? Well, let me put it like this: #1- This Young man is a Superstar! #2- This young man is a Superstar! #3-This young man is a Superstar! That respectfully answers your immediate question. Now, the more accurate question to ask us is "Why did we choose to answer your question that way? So here we go: Your question is (respectfully speaking and, we love you guys but. . .) a humdrum question and way too uninspiring to properly elicit the response that is befitting a prodigy like Salman. 1-This particular project was an exceptionally innovative and prodigious undertaking. "Things" were created here that were never done before. Technically and intuitively gifted, Salman stepped up and proved himself to be a young man worthy of any and all projects that may come his way. No matter the scope or size. 2- This was a bold and adventuresome project and yet a small part of where our company is headed. Salman and Team Codeable will be part of our adventure forevermore. 3-We are very grateful to have Salman with us and we're all proud of him and are very impressed with him in the way that he has conducted himself. I'm 70 years old and have started and built companies for 45 years. I'm not easily impressed by anyone or anything. That's one of the perks of moving up to the position, in the business world, of being the "Old Man." 4-But, Salman is a rarity: Technically Very Bright & Talented, Proactive, Reliable, Resourceful, Professional, Calm Under Pressure, Innovative, Gentleman and Extremely Self-Assured, are only a few of the characteristics that are appropriate for describing the kind of man that Salman is today. Like we said, "We're proud of Salman and, so should Team Codeable be." Thank you Salman and Team Codeable. A Happy, Healthy, Safe and Prosperous New Year to All. Best Wishes, Barry Sarner President, Emil Ghatan CEO and, the USA and International crews of Team MacGreen.

Salman isn't just responsive, professional, and skilled in implementing my requests — one of the things I value most about him is his thoughtfulness about the details. I can always count on him to ask good clarifying questions (which often clarify my own thinking on a project's design!).
