DNA Imagery

I recently started a videography business here in Santa Barbara and realized that if I wanted to…read morebuild my brand, then one of the first steps would be to have a eye catching logo. I tried to do this on my own at first and the results were pretty crappy. Luckily I had been to an art exhibition at the DNA Gallery on Guitterez and learned that they did an entire range of services, with logo creation being one of the many. I met with Derren (the D of DNA) to discuss ideas and he was very helpful. He was very open to my suggestions, but also provided the guidance I needed to get my logo to where I could actually visualize it in my mind. It was amazing how he took just a few words and color suggestions and was able to convey that to his team. The actual logo was created by Ana (the A of DNA) and I was amazed at how quickly she worked. Within days I had 4 different black and white sketches or mock ups. I was super excited and was able to speak again with Derren and combine all my favorite aspects of each into one logo I was in love with. The end result was amazing. I could not be happier. The logo they designed completely captures the essence of my company. It tells the whole story in one simple and elegant picture. I am super excited about it and have had numerous compliments on it. I can't wait to have them create some t-shirts and business cards for me as well. Bottom line, the good people at DNA are creative geniuses. They are young and their ideas are unique and exciting. I would highly recommend them for any of your imagery needs. I am confident I have found my go to people for anything imagery related.

I began working for myself just under a year ago and needed to get a website up and running pretty quickly in order to hit the ground running. Lakrits took everything I wanted my site to display and made it a reality. The process was really simple from start to finish and my input was always desired which made me feel that I still had control over my site. After our initial conversations, they went to work and kept me updated throughout the entire process and when I saw the finished product I was extremely pleased. The look, the navigation, and the overall feel are what i wanted and it has helped potential clients find me and get in touch with me with ease. I not only would recommend Lakrits to my friends and associates but I will use them again for any online needs I have in the future. read more

We used to think we could do our web work ourselves. But the Team at Lakrits helped show us how we could be more effective and successful with their help. Making them our marketing agency has been a relief for us and step towards greater productivity. The services they performed were a new web design, fresh graphics & an updated look that sets us apart from competitors. Here's our site: www.ecocarcafe.com What we are most excited about, is how they are helping us improve our SEO rank! We appreciate their results oriented approach, and high level of customer service. Recommended for small to medium sized companies looking to take their business to the next level. read more

When my former web designer sadly passed away recently I tried to manage our restaurant website by myself. Big mistake. Leave it to the professionals! Other web design companies did not want to work with my existing Joomla program, but Lakrits Design were happy to help me out. At my request they are taking a very fair budget-friendly approach and tweaking the site little by little. Sometime in the future we will be making some bolder changes and I have every faith in the abilities of the folks at Lakrits. They have been responsive and understanding of my needs. I am happy to recommend their work. www.DowneysSB.com read more

The KuKreationz team surpasses everything I am looking for in every category of online presence for my company. They approached my site design systematically but with a personal touch. I'm very particular in how I present my company because you typically only get one opportunity to leave a positive impression with a potential client. The suggestions to add (or remove) content were spot-on and I couldn't be happier with the layout, flow of my website and the information that's presented. Their SEO optimization worked in the way they suggested it would. More important than it would seem! They host my website and multiple email addresses; all load and operate flawlessly on mobile devices, tablets and desktops alike. I've had timely correspondence, service and design requests finished ahead of schedule and all at very reasonable rates. In the ten years of owning and operating my small business, I wear many hats. I've removed my "internet hat" for good after two years of working with KuKreationz.

I would highly recommend not working them in the most extreme way. Further, I would not even suggest you let them visit your cite to give an estimate (that will set you back $1,000) - because apparently, to AA, with less than 4 year experience, a backwater college degree and absolutely no people skills, feels that his time is not only worth more than yours, but he wants you pay for what he THINKS it may cost. Furthermore, in my experience with this group, they literally tried to upsell me on another electronic system because they did not know how to program the one we had chosen. I am not in the business of paying for other people how to learn business, unless of course they are my kids. Cooler heads prevailed after we just inches away from legal intervention, and the cooler head did not come from AA, but from one of its partners -- whom I appreciate greatly. I harbor no ill-will to AAExpressive or its founders, but can say with absolutely certainty that you should NEVER CONSIDER working with them. I have been in this business 20 years, my family has been in this business for over 60, and we never even seen such incompetence so awkwardly married to entitlement. Santa Barbara is a small town. They're not the only group our there that does this work. I strongly suggest you take the little bit of extra time to find an alternative. ...and by the way, one of the other reviewers on their Yelp page is actually part of this company, so that is a bit misleading.
