  • My experience with First Glance Bahamas was absolutely outstanding. I began this project feeling quite intimidated, as it required convincing my bosses to move forward with launching a website and then being entrusted with managing the process. From the very beginning, Mr. Lanardo Gibson and his team made the entire experience smooth, supportive, and incredibly rewarding. Mr. Gibson was always accessible, patient, and willing to answer any questions I had. He ensured that I not only received a great final product but also fully understood how the website functions. His communication was clear and consistent, and he took the time to carefully implement every suggestion and request I made. What truly set this experience apart was the level of support and guidance provided throughout the entire process. Mr. Gibson personally trained me on the website's backend, ensuring I felt confident managing it going forward. He was informative, professional, and genuinely invested in the project's success. Even when I encountered challenges with my bank, he went above and beyond to help me understand the process and navigate those issues. The final result exceeded my expectations. My vision for the website was not only brought to life but also enhanced through Mr. Gibson’s expertise and thoughtful recommendations. I am extremely proud of what we accomplished and would highly recommend First Glance Bahamas to any business, especially small business owners, looking to build a professional, effective, and high-quality website. Their service, dedication, and expertise are truly unmatched.

They listened carefully to what I wanted, answered my questions clearly, and paid close attention to the details that mattered to me. I also appreciated how quickly they worked without sacrificing quality. They were responsive, professional, and committed to making sure the final result met my expectations. Overall, I am very pleased with the service I received and would highly recommend their team to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient website developer.

    Jade F.Google review · May 2023
  • My experience was phenomenal from start to finish! I was contacted via IG and was a bit skeptical but to gain my confidence Leo offered to do a demo site and I was completely sold! The dedication and wealth of knowledge made me even more confident that First Glance was the perfect company to help me enter the eCommerce market! I would highly recommend them for their great service and delivering a product that can outshine international websites! I’ve expressed my gratitude so many times and I’d just like to say thank you once again for exceeding my expectations!

  • Reaching out to first glance bahamas was the best decision to have my website created. The designers are very professional and they provided me with a few mock ups that I really loved. It was hard to select my favorite, but after we finally agree on the design. They went ahead and created me the most amazing website that I am proud to call my own. I appreciate their hard work and skills. I highly recommend using First Glance Bahamas for any project :)
