Testimonials
Bharat and his team over at CMS Minds do an excellent job. I run a web design agency in the USA, and it's critical in this industry to have an overseas partner. We regularly send them tough tasks on a short deadline, and they always...
cmsMinds is a team of professional web developers that is a great pleasure to work with. They are very responsive and highly skilled. They have been able to help me with all my companies web related projects. I plan to work with them for many years to come.
We work with these guys from time to time on Drupal projects, and they always do good work. They are responsive, the quality of their work is high, and they follow directions to the T. I wish we had more projects for them frankly, and wouldn't mind using them more in the future.
I had a great experience working with this team. They were fast, collaborative, and incredibly helpful—especially when it came to time-sensitive or unexpected issues. Their support during a new website launch process made everything smooth and stress-free. I really appreciated their responsiveness and willingness to go the extra mile.
With cmsMinds, you’re not just getting a wordpress developer — you’re getting a team trusted by the people behind WordPress itself.
