Testimonials

From past clients

Skydea was the dream team to work with. We used Skydea's service to build our website for our new cafe, shop, and event space. Many elements of the business were not exactly fixed causing delays to our overall website development however they were patient, and understanding throughout the whole process while executing all of our wishes for the website. Skydea will find a way to get your website the way you want it, promptly and most importantly in great spirit.

Kay Bayles Alishan Park

We are happy with the outcome, having received a site that is not only visually appealing but also versatile and user-friendly, allowing us to easily create landing pages and effectively showcase the Ship&co App. Our heartfelt thanks to the Skydea team for their great work.

Thomas Bertrand CEO, BERTRAND Co.

Skydea's work was over our expectations. They had experience in Japan and the US, were bilingual, and were patient enough to revise the work until it was perfect. I strongly recommend anyone to have an initial chat with them before committing to any other firm.

Mehdi Kang CEO & Founder, Scouta K.K.

They worked with genuine care, were always approachable, and consistently delivered high-quality output.

Mike Wall Marketing Manager, Gamban

They really captured our vision and took a rather tired-looking website and leveled it up.
