Orange & Bergamot - Santa Monica, California

Van Lai-DuMone

Truly one of the best investments I've made for my company! After 4 years of having a 'homemade' website. I decided it was time to give my website a make-over. With the O&B team, I got so much more than that!

Kalika, Katina, and their team of designers and developers took the time to understand me, and my business. Going in I wasn't clear on what I wanted or needed my site to look like. But through their process, not only did I become clear, but they have delivered a branded website that captures exactly the look and feel of my business.

Professional, caring, & talented are only a few words that describe this incredible team who truly care for their clients!

Serendipity led me to Orange & Bergamot (O&B) when I was in need of website design and development. Within minutes of my initial conversation with O&B's founder, Kalika Yap, I knew she and her team were exactly what I was looking for in a partner and vendor. I loved their approach to working with startups and female entrepreneurs. The project manager assigned to my project was amazing and we launched ahead of schedule. Post-launch, I've needed to update the site, swap out assets, etc., and the Orange & Bergamot team has been super responsive and quick to make changes. I love that with Orange & Bergamot I have an extension of my team, not just a vendor/client relationship. HUGE fans of the O&B Team!

All I can say is WOW! Kalika and her team are incredible - from start to finish. Before hiring Orange & Bergamot to build my site, I felt as though I had tried everything to create my website - and I had. From attempting to build my own site *numerous* times on different platforms to contracting 3 other individuals/ companies to do it for me - no one, not even myself, could achieve the vision I had in mind for my website. Everything changed when I contacted Orange & Bergamot. I reached out to them on their website and was pleasantly surprised to receive a response from Kalika within a day. At that time, I had no idea she was the owner of the company but learned so after she talked with me for about an hour discussing my goals for the site. I was honored that she took time out of her busy schedule to talk with me about my website goals and budgetary concerns.

The process was quick and they were SO on top of it. When I saw the initial designs, I felt as though they already knew my brand. My project manager Naomi helped keep the project on track - she was clear, quick, concise and a complete pleasure to work with.

Today, I am in love with my website and have received so many compliments on how great it looks!

Working with Orange & Bergamot has been one of the best decisions I've made for my business.

My goal for my business is to build a dedicated and passionate team like Kalika has built with Orange and Bergamot.

I had the best experience working with Orange & Bergamot on my newly branded website. My prior site was not that great and more of a sales platform than a true brand. They nailed my website design and branding immediately - I was so impressed! They have a true focus on the small business owner and female entrepreneurs, plus great insight on digital marketing overall. Thank you for turning my company into true brand!

If you're looking for know-how that goes beyond just the visual aspect of building a website but which also deals with the behind-the-scenes necessities of what your website needs to be solid, up to date, functional - and of course, beautiful - Orange & Bergamot has got your back. There is no task too big or too small for this team - they will make you what you need and want.

I have attended O&B branding seminars and worked with Kalika since 2002 with each being a client of the other. Kalika is a force of nature with a passion for design and promoting women entrepreneurs. Her passion comes through in her workshops and design work.

I almost never write reviews but my experience with this "company" ( which is not authorized to conduct business in California and owes back taxes) was so profoundly troubling, I have to share. Not only was staff rude, hostile, and sanctimonious--but they were poor performers as well. Their CEO who markets herself as a champion of women screamed at me during a meeting with my staff and made unhinged false allegations. This was after she wasted time during our meetings bragging about herself, and name dropping actors whose kids go to school with her kids (like any adult client would care!). It was unpleasant from start to finish and my opinion is that Kalika is a talentless narcissist. I am left with no choice but to file a lawsuit to recover the money paid but unearned and to obtain the work product I paid for but was not given in any usable format. Don't believe the sales pitch. Sadly, this company is all hat and no cattle.

O&B is a talented team of creatives and professionals! It was a pleasure working with Kalika and Katina and the entire team.
