Adal is AMAZING! We contracted with Adal to implement a custom web application that would create an image map of the available apartments we have for our campus. Clicking on the apartments on the image map would bring up the floor plan of each apartment. Adal not only created the web app per our specifications, he created a gorgeous design and added additional productivity features that would make navigation simpler for our Sales staff. One such feature was adding navigation buttons on the lower right or left hand corner depending on where the Sales Counselor was standing (we project on a 60-inch screen while demoing to prospects). Adal was professional, courteous, and knowledgeable. We highly recommend him if you need an EXCELLENT full-stack developer. read more

I hired Adal to do some SEO work for me based on the many positive reviews here...it has been a very disappointing experience. It makes me curious about the legitimacy of the other reviews for him. They do not represent the experience I had with him at all. This is the story: I hired Adal to help me optimize the visibility of my website. The first project was for a natural search. He charged me $2,000. That seemed like a lot, but he lead me to believe that he would get great results. We talked about maximizing the most valuable keywords that related to my business. He made a list of 1st and 2nd tier keywords. I assumed he would work on the first tier keywords. He did not. instead he focused all his energy on one obscure keyword out of list #2. Yes, he raised my visibility for that keyword, but it was rarely used by consumers. He still wanted full payment of 2K. I had already paid 1K and that was far too much for what he had accomplished. Before I realized that something was going wrong, I started another project with him. That project was to optimize my visibility on my Google Adwords account. It was already working well, but I desired a little more visibility. I had assumed, he would fine tune the keywords in my Adwords campaign. Though, he went off on an obscure tangent again. He wanted to funnel all of my ad money towards a large banner ad that would follow people around once they visited my site. I didn't see the value in that, but he had already spent several hours on the project and would be billing me for those. The cost of the Adwords Campaign was $1600. The kicker was, I ended up calling Google myself. They were able to walk me through the adjustments I needed to make in an hour. At that point, I expressed my unhappiness with his work. He didn't attempt to make anything right. He just said that I didn't appreciate his work. Therefore, there was no point in continuing. I was so surprised by his lack of accountability. I run my own business. it is very successful. I don't think I've ever let a client walk away feeling like they didn't get what they paid for. It's really bad business. While I don't doubt that he spent many hours working on my project, there was a ridiculously poor result. I am a wardrobe stylist. This would be like me taking payment for a 20-hr job to build a client's wardrobe and coming back to them with only one dress. I had put all my faith in Adal to handle this for me because I was intimidated by the process. Adal did not have my best interest in mind, but rather was most interested in billing for more time to increase his profits. This has been a very disappointing experience. I walk away from it with a very good, but expensive lesson. read more

Anyone who has and/or is currently operating their own start-up venture will tell you, getting started can be overwhelming and quite intimidating. It's easy to get lost in the myriad of considerations, e.g. media, strategy, finance, distribution. But it seems as though these days the most critical component to your business' survival is actually your presence on the web. When I approached Adal about my magazine, he was genuinely interested in understanding the purpose and content of what we are trying to convey to our readers. Adal was sophisticated in his line of questioning, and poignant in his explanations. He communicated clearly all the necessary steps that would take place during the development process, and even generously offered tips that he felt were most accommodating for our target audience. To be honest, I was sold on Adal's reviews alone, but after meeting him in person, I actually felt a little more structured and the task of getting the magazine site up and running just felt less daunting. The whole development process was exactly as he described in the initial consultation, and the dialog was very open and clear. Adal was soo organized about revisions, timelines, etc. I always felt at ease. He took all my feedback into consideration and offered some amazing theme options for a proper magazine! It's silly now to think that I even toyed with the idea of creating a website on my own, spending time and money on classes, trying to learn programming, etc. It's just easier to put the project in the hands of a wordpress expert like Adal, and have him build something you can drive on your own. He's worth every penny, and I definitely learned my lesson- knowing that I can turn to Adal for future development is truly a comfort! Cue superhero theme song...Adal saves the day. Gratias tibi ago~ read more

Adal is AMAZING. Our company site was in serious need of WordPress love, and he not only moved everything over in less time than asked, was clear and patient during the walk-through process, and is always open to questions - no matter how novice! We will most DEFINITELY be using his services for any additional projects we have, and highly recommend him for any website needs - big or small. :D read more

Working with Adal made the complicated world of web-design simple. I believe our project was a little out of the ordinary, as Adal was instructed to integrate the bones of my company's old, dysfunctional website into something that had a clean design, responsive interface, and simple back-end management. Mission accomplished. He was approachable, responsive, and helpful throughout the entire design and development process, and I received many pats on the back around the office for hiring him. Adal provided his services in training our team to use the website, and now we are able to fly solo, which was a request we made on the outset. Overall, we are all very pleased with the results of working with Adal. Check out our new site at sksre.com. I will let the work speak for itself. Thanks Adal! read more

Adal Design programmed my website to look just like a flash website without being flash! He was able to create an elegant and classy site with direction from my graphic designer. He tells you the pricing schedule and the delivery schedule up front so there are no surprises. My site can now be updated by me and Adal made sure I was confident in doing so. He is easy to work with and does not make you feel bad when you have a lot of questions. More people are booking directly from my website then ever before! read more

I was given the task of finding a web designer for my company. Of course, I immediately went onto Yelp to find candidates. Anyone with 4+ stars, I looked at their previous projects to narrow the list down and ended up reaching out to about 10 designers. My experience was vastly different from designer to designer. I had people asking me simple questions about our product that they could've easily looked up themselves or was already outlined in my original inquiry, asking me about my budget before asking about ANYTHING else, and I even had a designer tell me that if I wanted a quote, I need to complete an RFP online, not email them directly. Out of all of the web designers, Adal was definitely the most thorough & enthusiastic about the project and the only one that suggested that he come see me in person for our initial consultation. In this digital world and in his industry, I appreciated that he took the time to do this. He wanted to have a dialogue about our goals, see the product and discuss ideas. He did his homework on our product before this meeting also, which made our conversation easier. He had good questions that showed that he was really trying to understand and work towards our goal. He was honest from the beginning too and let me know that if we're looking for the cheapest option, he may not be it but if we're looking for thorough work, he'll deliver, which I appreciated. After this initial meeting, he followed up several times (but not in an annoying way, if you know what I mean) and whenever I had questions, he responded very quickly, even when he was out of office and on vacation. He never made me feel like I was bothering him or make me feel like he was doing me a favor if I booked him (which many of the designers did). After all of that hard work, I do have to mention that unfortunately, due to our company changing directions, we ended up not hiring Adal (or any of the other designers at this point). But the "buying process" alone was by far the best from my experience and thought it was worth a review. read more

Adal is not only a wonderful web designer with a good style sense but he has programming skills that make Wordpress a more complete solution. Moreover, he shares my philosophy for building new business models associated with supporting the social good, and provides good feedback on how to best get that message across. He is now my go-to designer for the crowdfunding properties associated with The Breaking News Network, a media network devoted to the social good. read more

Adal just assisted me in putting together the 4th website which ought to be a testimony to his value and trustworthiness alone. His wordpress sites are easy to use and once they are up the functionality is very dynamic. We also put up a woo commerce site with Adal's help and the functionality is also very high. Both of these systems are relatively easy to use and fairly intuitive. I fancy myself a bit of a technophobe but once I get behind the wheel of Adal's creations, I feel at ease and that I have a powerful new tool to support my business with. In some instances we have worked with professional designers and in some instances due to budget constraints, Adal has helped create a look and feel that enables a professional esthetic. Admittedly I usually have a little anticipatory sticker shock but in the end Adal has consistently for me come in under the proposed budget and the websites usually pay for themselves fairly quickly. He sets his clients up with a useful user tutorial which could be helpful but admittedly I haven't gone back and watched in part because it is relatively easy to navigate the sites he puts together. check these out for yourself www.benzappin.com www.fiveflavorsherbs.com read more

Before I say anything you must go to the site that Adal designed for me and it should speak for itself at www.healfromthegroundup.com . As you can see this is a tremendously beautifully designed site is done surprisingly at a very low budget. My website features a podcast and within two weeks of launching the site, I have reached #1 rankings in iTunes for my category of self-help. This in large part due to not only the look but the feel of the site that Adal has designed for me that directly communicates the meaning and purpose of the site just through its visual expression. A word of recommendation, just as you are working with any programmer, be specific in what you want to make it easier for the programmer you are working with. My site is definitely a high class site done a very reasonable budget. I'm very lucky to be working with Adal. read more

A huge plus in working with Adal on my Wordpress needs is his ability to tailor the help for what I am needing at the time. He will teach me the necessary skills to handle my site myself or will give me the soup-to-nuts assistance if I want it. His expertise in using Wordpress is quite impressive and he will get done in an hour what would take me all day to do. For me that is a big deal to free me up to do what I do best, run my business. read more

I had excellent experiences with the Adal during the time we worked together. After the launch of my website my experience with Adal was at the same consistent quality, and I really appreciate that. As a small business owner in SF, its important to be both intuitive with the website and forward thinking to how things may change and, how without much effort, the website can evolve with any changes. Adal helped me create the right components for a fully functional site, with easy to use booking, calendar and is overall user friendly. He is helpful, responses and easily translates between me and my computer! I'm really happy with the end result! You will be, too! read more

Adal is someone you definitely want to know and is a vital member of my digital power team. When trying to accomplish a specific vision for a website, communication is key and that is one of Adal's greatest strengths. He does not move forward until he understands the bigger picture on what it is you and your company are trying to accomplish. He has an uncanny ability to unify minds to see such vision and moves with your best interest at heart. Adal also has great taste when it comes to making things look beautiful and my website is another showcase of his on display, he and his team work in perfect unison and the work speaks for itself. With my project he was professional, on time, open minded, had valuable input, competitively priced and fun to work with. He is a true master at his craft and an expert in his field, what we created was a one stop for property owners in hardship who could reach out to me, a real estate investor for help. Take a look: ironfistrealty.com read more

Adal did the back end on my new blog: sfacublog.com It is so beautiful, funcitonal, easy to use and navigable! It's far beyond my expectations, and I'm really excited to be entering the world of truly interactive internet thanks to Adal's expert design. He worked on the project from the first concept interview all the way through design and even trained me on how to use the site, how to do SEO on the posts as I go and lots of other stuff I had no idea about! The site is professional, sharp and best of all it works great! I highly recommend Adal! read more

Adal graciously gave me a lot of his time to help me understand the basics about website development. He also had some great advice about website marketing strategies for my upcoming book. For reasons unrelated to Adal's obvious professionalism and knowledge, I didn't contract with him for services but he is on my radar for future website work! read more

As a law firm that caters to Internet and software companies, having a top-notch site which works flawlessly is critical to our business. Adal completely re-engineered our site leaving us with an elegant technical back-end that makes it simple for anyone (even me) to completely update or change any element of our content. He is also bright, incredibly responsive and hits all of his deadlines. A real professional and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended. read more

We've given him a host of special challenges in Wordpress and on every count he's risen to the occasion with creativity and enthusiasm. He is resourceful, methodical and attentive, and his product is consistently professional. Highly recommended! read more

I'm a pretty non-technical person, so the prospect of setting up and managing my blog/website was overwhelming before attending Adal's how-to class on building a Wordpress webpage. What seemed daunting now seems managable after just 3 hours in the "classroom." Adal is not only a competent developer but a natural teacher! He did a really nice job of guiding the group of entreprenuers and business folk through the process of building and managing our respective webpages and did an excellent job of answering my individual questions along the way. I felt like everyone was equally attended to and that there was a steady rythym, giving the feeling that no time was wasted. It was great to come home with new knowledge in my head, skills at my fingertips AND a functional website, ready for content. This is a seriously affordable and efficient option for building a website, when you consider how much it costs for the service of a developer and/or designer... though I know that Adal is an excellent developer, if that is required. read more
