What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Branding, copywriting and web development emerge as the core services described by clients of this London design agency, whose projects range from company websites to complete brand launches. An observation shared by more than one reviewer is the calibre of the finished work, with sites called modern, elegant and closely matched to the identity they were built to represent. Reviewers often mention how smoothly projects were run, crediting the team with organised project management, quick responses to every request and deadlines that were met without fuss.

The collaborative manner of working draws consistent approval, as does the friendliness and authenticity of those involved, described as personable and genuinely invested in understanding each brief. Design ideas are praised for being fresh, user-friendly and thoughtfully tailored, whether the client is a visual effects studio or a wealth management firm. Ongoing assistance after launch features in many accounts, particularly maintenance and strategic search work carried out over the following months. Several customers highlight the value of finding branding, tone of voice and development under one roof, which kept the whole process joined up. Hands-on guidance during projects was appreciated as much as the creative output itself.

Working with KOTA has been a fantastic experience from start to finish. They partnered with us to design and launch our new brand and website, and the result has exceeded our expectations – modern, confident, and perfectly aligned with who we are as a business. Beyond the initial launch, KOTA have continued to support us over the past 12 months with ongoing SEO, helping us build visibility and performance in a really strategic, considered way. Their team are creative, knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely invested in delivering long-term value, not just a one-off project. We’ve felt supported at every stage, and the collaboration has been both seamless and enjoyable. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend KOTA to any brand looking for a smart, design-led agency that truly understands digital growth

When we set out to redesign UPP’s website, we knew we needed more than just a sleek digital portfolio... we needed a site that felt like us. We are a visual effects and post house working on projects at the highest level, so we needed something elegant that would blur the lines between web, technology, and cinema, and reflect who we are: an artist-led, tech-forward company working with major studio partners and visionary filmmakers. From the very first conversations, James, KOTA’s Creative Director, understood that vision. He didn’t just meet the brief—he transformed it. The concept he delivered was beyond what we had imagined: a bold, elegant experience that positions UPP at the leading edge of both design and digital storytelling. It’s no exaggeration to say the final product redefines what a website can be. We’ve even adopted a new line in talking about it: “It’s not a website, it’s an experience.” James and the entire KOTA team worked closely with us to deliver something truly next-level that completely met the exacting requirements of our CEO. KOTA’s team was flexible and patient throughout the process, navigating our often packed schedules with understanding and professionalism. After launch, their support team didn’t miss a beat. Special thanks to Maja, who became our go-to during the post-design phase and handled everything with clarity and care. Thanks also to Nat, KOTA’s development lead, who responded to every request with efficiency and a positive attitude. We were so impressed by the end result and ongoing support that we chose to stay with KOTA for hosting and utilize their SiteCare service—ensuring that our site continues to perform at its best long into the future. Ashlee has already been extremely helpful to that end and is always quick to respond. In short: KOTA didn’t just build us a website. They crafted an experience that reflects who we are as a company and where we’re going. We couldn’t recommend them more highly.

Kota have been brilliant from day one to work with. Very quick to respond to any queries, a lovely group of people, with a great eye for design and detail. I've loved working with them so far, and I am sure they'll be partners for much more time to come!

KOTA helped us achieve our vision. Through creative idea generation, hands-on guidance and support, to professional project management, they were able to deliver the type of company website that represents our products and services, and most importantly, our brand. We are more than satisfied with the results.
