Brilliant website designers! When we first saw our new website, the reaction was, "Wow! I didn't know it was going to be this good!" Light years better than what I could have done on my own. Combined with their innovative brand consulting and amazing SEO capabilities, you can't go wrong with Barkis & Co.

I rarely write reviews, but this one deserves its applause. I have had the pleasure to work with Nicole and Austin in developing a web site for my photography. From the outset, they have shown the mark of professionals and the patience needed to work with a novice. They created a site well past my expectations.... refined, sharp, classic, timeless. They listened well, worked efficiently and thoroughly. I could not more strongly recommend Barkis & Co. for your web site needs. Don't miss them.

Great team, great results! As a former web developer, I review the integrity of other web developers very seriously. Very seldom am I impressed. But the [Barkis] crew has exceeded my expectations. They are thoughtful with their recommendations, honest about project deliverables and detail oriented. I have worked with them on multiple occasions and do not hesitate to refer them. They are a great Monterey website company!
