Very rarely will one come across a talent like Koua Thao. I enlisted his services to help design and build my start up firms website, and could not have been more satisfied. The phrase, "The customer comes first" may be a tired cliche to some, but to Koua, it is his mantra. Throughout the process, from our initial contact, through the completion of my website, Koua made it abundantly clear that if I was not 100% happy, then neither was he. I lost count of how many times in the development phase he repeated, "Joe this is your website, you need to pick the option that you are most happy with." I never had the sense that my indecision over options were a nuisance to Koua. He clearly wanted me to be satisfied with the end product. As to his technical prowess around web design, I felt as though I was in good hands the entire time. Koua took the time to discuss with me my business needs, and at no time attempted to over sell me on bells and whistles which I would not need for my site. And he was beyond flexible as to working around my busy schedule. If you are in need of web development services, and want to feel comfortable knowing that you are in trustworthy and able hands, please reach out to Koua Thao!
