Charu has helped me build my dream website! I had a vision for exactly what I wanted and they were able to find a template to work with and modify to accomplish just that. Emil is fantastic! He has been on top of everything every step of the way and really does everything he can to make sure we are taken care of. I am very particular, especially when it comes to how my business is represented, and I can say that Charu and Emil have definitely pulled through! I highly recommend working with them. Their service is somewhat expensive, but with the level of customer service you will receive and the end product, it is worth every penny!Mira & Julie

Worked with Charu on a number of occasions - great experience all around. Their digital work was exactly as described, from SEO and social media to Wordpress design.
