I've worked with Fat Cow Media to help shape the brand and design the website for my start-up mortgage brokerage. Working with Fat Cow has been a delight. Steve understood my brief immediately, brought fresh creative ideas, and delivered a high-quality design well on time. Their attention to detail and ability to translate concepts into clean, modern visuals made the whole process effortless; any minor adjustments were swiftly completed without fuss. It felt a daunting process when I started looking for the right designer, but it need not have been. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Fat Cow in the slightest.
