Shakuro's past, present and future.
A good word
Here we have collected feedbacks from our clients. Some of them are addressed to our particular developers, and some to the whole team
« It's very rare to A) find talented developers, and B) to find people willing to put in the additional effort and be pro-active rather than just re-active.
To be honest, there's a part of me that doesn't want to give Vlad and Shakuro a review because they'll be flooded with employment requests, but to be fair as they have been to me, I'll provide my honest thoughts. I've been working with Shakuro for almost 9 months now and cannot fault them, they're responsive, have an active role in the development process, and they are very thorough.
Vlad is a star, he makes sure he understands you perfectly before he starts with a good amount of questions, which means you always get what you want. I aim to keep Shakuro on my payroll for many months to come, in fact, I only closed this job as I gave Vlad a pay-rise as he has become so valuable. I personally endorse Shakuro and if you have any questions relating to them please feel free to contact me using odesk. »

« We have been extremely pleased with our collaboration with Shakuro throughout the development of CGHUB.com and look forwad to many more projects togheter. After several failed attempts by other developers, Shakuro came through when we were ready to give up on CGHUB. Working with them is a pleasure, they have great ideas, are easy to work with, and always exceed our expectations regardless of how big or small the task at hand. Without a doubt Shakuro is one of the most professional, dedicated, and talented group of individuals we have ever had the pleasure of working with. »

« We have been working with Shakuro since april 2008, and eversince we are truly convinced that Shakuro offers everything we required, even more... They are very skilled, punctual, always available, and not only do they finish the job as required, the Shakuro developers even think ahead and take our projects to a higher level.
Their commitment to our project even seems bigger than ours. As for us, we are convinced there's no better team to work with! »
Steven Coussens
« Very much enjoyed working on this project with Shakuro. It should be noted that this project also included Lera and Edward from Shakuro.
We were very impressed with the design they developed for us which was unique and imaginative based on our initial diagrams.
Communication was constant and promptly with regular updates and analysis of the project at each stage. There were sometimes confusions in explanation but these were always enthusiastically worked through with Shakuro and we were very impressed overall.
They were able to interpret our specification and provide excellent functionality and making the site go live was made very simple and completely painless.
We look forward to working with them in the near future on further projects. We definitely recommend them. »
Dr Adam Lund
« This provider was outstanding! They was on time, under budget, and produuced an application that far exceeded my expectations. His english skills were not perfect but they did not interfere with the project. He is highly productive and many times bugs were addressed in minutes. His ideas for usability and architecture were money saving and made for a much more usable application. We had a specific set of goals for the project but little architecture guidance. He filled in all the blanks and the finished app is polished, professional, clean, and fast. He added features he knew would be useful even before we asked for them. Many features he added I would have never thought of. We will be using him again! »

« Kostya has been a thorough Account Manager and is very timely with questions and feedback. We are continuing with Kostya and his associates to build our site. »
Bill Hajek
« We have been very impressed with this project undertaken by Shakuro. We have received a website that has exceeded our expectations with features we thought would cost much more than they did. What we have received for the money has been quite amazing. As we have found on previous projects, communication was immediate, excellent and patient with any issues resolved quickly and efficiently without any fuss. We hope to keep working with the Shakuro team on future projects. »
Dr Adam Lund
« Shakuro team did an excellent job bringing up our website. They were always responsive and caught onto ideas with incredible speed and accuracy. They are friendly, efficient, technically excellent engineers, who are very serious and sincere about their work. I recommend them whole-heartedly for your web projects. They are one of the few PHP developers using a framework like Cake PHP, which is an intelligent choice. »

« Roman is a highly skilled graphic designer who knows how to make a project look professional and graphically appealing at the same time. It has been a pleasure to work with him, and no job is too big for his abilities. He creates amazing UI's that are streamlined and highly efficient. If you want your project to look great, Roman is highly recommended and we are sure that you will be glad you have him on your team. We are looking forward to working with him again soon! »

« Alexey did a great job. Suggested improvements for previous developers code. Clean, simple GUI, added little features not originally asked for. All of these warrant a 5 rating. Working with this developer again. »
Ben Johnson
« This is my first opportunity to work with kostya. He showed great interest in the project from the start, which did not lessen. His commitment and communication are impeccable. He is always there, always ready to answer in a polite and patient manner and has built my database from the ground up - contributing sound, practical and creative advice. It could now have happened as it did without him. This relationship will continue. »

Vlad Boerean
« Kostya is a fantastic project manager who has resources always ready to take on all types of tasks, from rapid new development to maintenance. His company Shakuro is full of talented developers who are of the finest world-class technical proficiency in web technologies, and they are dedicated to their customers satisfaction as a team. They have maintained my websites for 2 years, and always provide the most cost-effective solutions to problem, but without sacrificing quality. They don't believe in overcharging or filling up time according to initial estimates. They will do it for less if it takes less time. This type of honesty and sincerity is rare and commendable. They are loyal to their customers and in fact they have provided me the same initial rate since the time I started working with them, which I really appreciate. »
Shyam Santhanam
« Our company's first iPhone app launch was a tremedous success due entirely to the professionalism and expertise of Dmitriy at Shakuro. He was able to understand our needs and then translate that into a quality product. Our app was approved in half the time quoted by Apple. The app itself is extremely small and very efficient code. We are a few days into sales without a single report of a crash or problem with the app. Dmitriy was also able to think outside the box to come up with solutions when we were presented with a roadblock during development. He is able to communicate clearly. We will definately be using Dmitriy again in our upcoming development projects. »
Bryan Bowers
« Kostya is a natural leader and really takes charge of his projects. He puts the buyers mind at ease, knowing that he is on the job helps make life much easier due to his highly ethical approach to business. You can trust Kostya with your project and know that he will do the best job possible to make sure it is a success. He won't quit until it is perfect and always there to support his work long after the assignment is complete.
Highly recommended! »
Jeff Fowler
