Moritz was fantastic to work with and even after just 1month of implementing their recommendations we have already seen an increase in engagement with our website.
I've worked with Moritz on two different websites and I have been over the moon with the results. The sites look great and Moritz has build them in a way which is easy for me to maintain. I was particularly impressed with Moritz' knowledge and enthusiasm about SEO, which I am already seeing positive results from.
