Citrus Studios

I had a design concept in mind when I was looking to redesign my company’s website. After searching high and low and looking at proposals from various agencies, I decided to go with Citrus Studios after speaking to Kalika. She had great suggestions to help turn my idea into reality, keeping in mind our modest budget. We had a short timeframe to work with as I wanted the site to be launched within a month and Kalika assured me that the timeframe was do-​able. She also addressed all of my concerns to my satisfaction.
The website is now completed. I’m very happy with the CMS in place as it’s super easy to use and I’m also very happy with the work Citrus did.
The box of cookies Citrus sent to my office at the completion of the project was totally the icing on the cake. Thank you Citrus team!

It was a pleasure working with Citrus Studios. Their team is very knowledgeable about the web, design, programming, SEO, and social media marketing. The staff is extremely friendly and organized, and made sure my custom WordPress website came out exactly how I wanted it. Citrus not only created my website, but also helped with my branding and social media marketing as well. They gave lots of web advice, which really helped when it came to creating our website. Would definitely recommend Citrus Studios because they are local (Santa Monica) and are always up to speed with the latest technology.
Thank you so much Kalika and the team!

I’ve worked with Citrus on marketing material for events that I help plan and they have been great. In the events world, you often work against unreasonable timelines which create stress on others involved in the process. Citrus has been very accommodating in this regard, even when working within unreasonable deadlines. Thank you!

I approached Citrus Studios over a year ago to create a website for our restaurant brand, California Chutney. As with any project, I spoke to many website developers before signing with Citrus. Throughout developing the website we explored many different directions and gradually came to a clean website infrastructure that allows us to constantly update with new content, which is very important for us.
Kalika’s team was always extremely organized and punctual. This is crucial when developing and designing a project with so many facets. It was refreshing to work with a team that always approaches tasks with a bright and positive attitude.
Thanks, and keep up the great work!

I wish I could give more than 5 stars! Citrus Studios is AMAZING. I hired Citrus Studios to assist me with the web development and design of a custom eccomerce site. From the first conversation which took place in November 2013 with Kalika to the present time — the service provided to me has been beyond top notch.
What has been most impressive to me has been the attention to detail and the follow through and follow up on all the multiple tasks that had to be handled from the beginning until the day of launching my website. Kalika and her talented team managed all details with such a high level of professionalism and also creativity. No item fell through the cracks.
As a result of their top notch work for me on the development of my site I decided that I wanted to further expand our partnership by having Citrus Studios handle the SEO and Social Media for my site. Again, the same level of creativity, talent and professionalism has carried through.
You can truly tell that Citrus Studios is a special company not only because of the talent, but also because of how well everyone works together and collaborates.
I have such respect for Kalika and her team. If you are in the market web development or any other web project — definitely connect with Citrus.

I’ve worked with Citrus on a number of projects with my clients over the past few years. Each time, Kalika and the entire team have been extremely responsive, going above and beyond to get the job done. Citrus takes a disciplined approach to understanding client needs and developing a custom solution that integrates business requirements, technology options, creative options, market trends, and budgets. This is not a cookie cutter approach, but a unique solution designed for each client. Throughout the entire process, Kalika remains involved, with the entire team sharing her passion for delivering value to the client. I have recommended Citrus to a number of other contacts and continue to do so without reservation. Whether you are a large or small organization, working on a brand new website or an update, I suggest you speak to Citrus about a possible collaboration.

Kalika and the Citrus Studios team have an amazing attitude towards helping companies with not only branding but also expanding their markets through various channels. The firm is creative, innovative, and ready to work. They have an amazing get-​it-​done attitude that transcends through their work. Definitely recommend them!

The company where I work hired Citrus Studios to do our new e-​commerce site, as our old site was pretty much outgrown by our business needs. Through the entire process, the Citrus team has been really great. I particularly have been working with Ruben, Lisa, and Kalika, and I’ve been continually impressed at their level of communication, professionalism, and attention to detail.
The new site launched two weeks ago, and we are getting a GREAT response. Everyone thinks it looks great — and it does! I am excited that this new site will give us the tools we need to take our online business to a new level — maybe even two or three new levels! I highly recommend this company.

Looks like self PR and drumming up friends has helped a bit.
Let me add that Unilocal is a destination for individuals to share their experiences good and bad. This hint of entitlement toward expecting all positive reviews only adds to the bad taste that this place put in my mouth.
Good luck Citrus!

These guys are amazing. Unlike any company I’ve worked with before. They go way beyond simply doing the work you’ve hired them to do, and actually get you to think differently about how you run your business. They’re so knowledgeable about the latest software, freeware, and social tools you can use to enhance your brand appeal and your operations — and they’re eager to share and implement all of it.
This is the kind of firm you want on your team — creative, wired, and eager to go the extra mile. Your whole business will be better for the experience.

This company is so impressive!
Kalika is very hands on and her designers are as talented and enthusiastic as she is. Once a client, they have an internal intranet where you are passworded and communicate with everyone on your project. My numerous intramails were answered within hours, if not minutes.
I found this company by chance via Google. I had just spent a lot of money with another company and was throughly disappointed with the results. Instead of throwing good money after bad, I finally decided to take the loss and just have someone else do it. Luck would have it that I landed at Citrus Studios.
They understand what you want, have great taste, great ideas, are reasonable, responsive, on-​time and best of all… they care.
I can’t recommend them enough!

I am so happy with my website that Citrus Studios did for my company. As a small business I had a tight budget, which they stayed in and created the best product possible. I had a few funky things go on with my site (unrelated to citrus studios work) and because I know nothing about computers or the internet, I sent them my questions, and they resolved the issues immediately, sometimes late at night and on the weekends.
I constantly get complements on my site, and I am grateful to Citrus Studios for helping me build my business

Citrus Studios is fantastic. Kalika’s insight and ideas have exponentially guided our next steps in building our business. She suggested easy ways to have our business become a household name. Our meeting helped open our eyes to better marketing practices that we have continued to use daily.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Kalika Nacion Yap and Citrus Studios and I cannot recommend Kalika or her company — actually companies! — more highly.
Kalika is always polite, specific and extremely generous with her help. She asks pertinent questions that inspire ideas and that also generate a more concrete picture of the project she’s dealing with. Her company’s created amazing websites for huge corporations, yet she gives the same amount of attention and ingenuity to smaller projects as well.
I can’t recommend Citrus Studios and Kalika Yap more highly.

Thank you sooo sooo much Kalika!
Just had a moment alone to breathe and take it all in. Feeling so grateful and appreciative to have met you. Its a totally different feeling to have my visions and dreams come to life! It gives me a whole new outlook on life that I will forever be thankful for. My logo is beautiful, designs are fabulous, and MY first website is up, live and running and I’m able to tell people to check it out! WOW! what a great feeling! …let me not forget to mention, all in one month’s time. Thank you Kalika for all you do! Thank you to The Citrus Ohana for all your hard work, time, patience and support!
Looking forward to working on future projects with Citrus Studios…

Citrus Studios designed my web site
showing off the beautiful pictures in my book «Feng Shui Your Life» and simultaneously created a clean, easily navigated experience where the reader can access all the important information about my feng shui services. They are professional, efficient and accommodating. Kalika Yap and her designers listened to my needs, requests and ideas thoughtfully. Julie, my main designer, was a pleasure to work with, helpful and always available to take my call, answer an email and work with me on new ideas. I couldn’t be happier with my site and I get so many compliments on the beauty and information available. I’ve found Kalika Yap to be professional, cheerful and always on-​point with great ideas. She is the one who suggested I start my social media on Facebook and Twitter, and now I have many followers, which clearly helps my business. I highly recommend Kalika Yap and Citrus Studios for all your web site needs!

Citrus Studios is a fantastic one-​stop-​shop for all things graphic: logos, websites, stationary… you name it. I’ve worked with Kalika and her team at Citrus on projects for four different businesses/​organizations including 3 branding/​logo projects, 2 websites and countless «collateral» type projects (postcards, stationary, stickers, etc.)
Kalika always comes up with the most creative ideas… even when I’m certain that I already know what I want, she will give me that but then say «what about this» and I ALWAYS prefer the «what about this option.»
The other great benefit to working with Kalika is that she is on top of everything in the online world, so if you want to know about how to twitter, chat, whatever the latest thing to do is, she can tell you how to do it.
I literally never look anywhere else when I need something done that Citrus can do… what would be the point? They are creative, professional and fun to work with.

I have used Citrus Studios for web design, uploading and initial management of a web site and training for downstream modifications of this website. They are excellent. Their team is professional, well-​developed in terms of diversity of talents/​qualifications, quick to respond to issues and tightly organized in terms of timelines and deliverables. My site required simply a «web presence» but their portfolio indicates experience with sophisticated web site functionality, upkeep and development.

My website needed to be revamped and Citrus Studios did a fabulous job.
The programmers I dealt with were extremely efficient and they were also great to deal with. They understood what I wanted and they were very patient with my numerous web design questions. They have also been very quick with any updates I may have on my website.
I think the proof is in the pudding – I constantly get compliments on my site!

If you’ve ever met the Founder — Kalika Yap, you’d know how amazing she is as a business owner. Top rate service, she puts an enormous amount of pride in her work and she cultivates a corporate culture where everyone brings their A-​Game to the table… if you’re looking for a partner to help you take your «stuff» to the next level — hire Citrus — they’re amazing — they GET IT…
