"Had an amazing experience with Ankord rebuilding my website. They went above and beyond the scope, even coming up with an interactive quiz that helped generate more leads. I've gotten tons of compliments on the UX and animations of my new site and it was all done seamlessly. They're great at taking feedback and integrating notes in days. 10/10 experience and plan to use them repeatedly."

"I had an excellent experience working with Milan and Sam at Ankord Media for my SEO marketing needs. They were professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely dedicated to helping my business succeed. Their strategies boosted my website’s visibility and brought in more traffic than I expected. Communication was seamless, and they kept me updated every step of the way. I highly recommend Ankord Media and will definitely continue to work with them!"
Zak Fouladi, CEO of Bright Bridge Realty Capital
“Ankord Media goes beyond aesthetics, ensuring that every design decision is driven by strategy, user experience, and brand impact. With Milan personally overseeing each project, the level of attention to detail, client engagement, and strategic oversight is exceptional. His Silicon Valley background brings a forward-thinking, innovation-driven mindset to every project.”

“Ankord Media delivered on time, were conscientious about doing good work, and made adjustments as needed. They thrilled clients and are a great addition to our agency portfolio. Promises made, promises kept.”
Raoul Davis, CEO of The Ascendant Group
"Ankord is pretty simply the best web design agency I have ever worked with. Milan instantly understood the purpose of my business, modernized my web presence, and immediately made my brand feel like it is world class. His ongoing support caters to the constantly changing and fluid nature of my business. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to boost their brand and clarify their digital presence"
Dara Rahimzadeh, CEO of Cursive
"I'm the Editor-in-Chief of The Doe and the Executive Director of our non-profit parent company, Narratives. We engaged Ankord Media to do a full, top-to-bottom site migration onto a new CMS as well as design our new website — Ankord Media went above and beyond.
In the past, I've found these experiences to be extremely draining and frustrating, but Ankord Media handled everything for us. Their designers have excellent taste, so our new site looks better than I could have imagined, a rarity in this industry! They also utilize top-shelf AI technology to streamline the process, keep timelines short and budget reasonable.
I highly recommend using Ankord Media."
Cleo Stiller, Executive Director of Narratives
"Huge huge fan of Ankord! They turned my vision into life and actually enhanced it far past what I had imagined. They will certainly be my partners of choice for any future development and my go-to for when i'm asked for referrals. Thank you so much, Milan and Sam!"

"Working with Ankord Media was an excellent experience from start to finish. Their team took the time to understand Martin Archery’s history and vision, and they delivered a website redesign that breathes new life into our digital presence. The process was collaborative, professional, and seamless, and the final result reflects both the strength of our legacy brand and the innovative direction we’re heading."
Joel Miller, CEO of Martin Archery
"Ankord Media rebuilt our old website into something that finally feels like Tentacle Tools. They understood we’re a blue-collar brand built for people in the oil and gas industry, and the new site shows that spirit. The team was easy to work with and kept things moving without overcomplicating it. What they delivered gives our customers a clear, honest picture of who we are and the tools we make."
William “Stick” Mank, CEO of Tentacle Tools
"We trust Ankord Media with all of our major design needs. When we saw significant growth as a company, we knew we needed to hire the best to fulfill our vision for what it could become. Although we gave VERY specific feedback and had aspirations that far exceeded our budget, Ankord over delivered. We get comments on our site on a nearly daily basis and owe it to Ankord for their brilliance in pulling all of the elements we had hoped for together. Highly recommended."
Joshua Brandau, CEO of Nota
The Ankord Media design team did a phenomenal job on a pretty unique project. We built an online course together (an Al Certificate Program); my team built the course content, while the Ankord team designed the slides, added animations, and performed all video editing. The final product was sleek, sophisticated, and perfect for an executive audience. And on top of that, they worked incredibly fast throughout the entire project timeline. I can't recommend them enough!
