It was a pleasure to work with Northwest on building our branding and website. They have a lot of creativity and inspiration to drive the brand forward — we have seen great results, a new fabulous showroom, and expanded the brand selling locally and worldwide.

We engaged Northwest to design a new careers campaign website, #ChooseLandscape. Not only did they turn it around in record time, providing great feedback and advice along the way, but what they delivered has been mentioned in industry press as an exemplar of how to do similar websites in our sector.

Vladimir and the Northwest Agency team were instrumental in designing, building and deploying The Exhibit platform. They had a very systematic and detail oriented approach which we really liked. We would certainly recommend them for any company looking to build large scale web applications.
