The Hollywood Food Coalition is a non-profit that needed a huge upgrade from their previous site. I was volunteering as HoFoCo's lead on this project. Our organization had grown so much that we were having trouble even describing ourselves. Fat Eyes lead us through a process that brought clarity. With patience and empathy, Fat Eyes really listened to us and understood our needs, aesthetics, and passion.
They translated these conversations into a beautiful site that truly captured our ethos, clearly represents what we do, and elegantly services our diverse population of users. It was an heroic feat. The Hollywood Food Coalition is grateful to FatEyes and proud of our site. Working with them is not just a pleasure, but a joy.

Fat Eyes overhauled my company's website last year and I could NOT be happier! They took the time to really listen and totally GOT me. Reviewing drafts and sending feedback was a breeze -- they were always responsive and able to follow my lead. And they provided the expertise that I needed. Gina and Doug were a dream to work with, and by the end of the process they felt like old friends. Do yourself a huge favor and hire them!
