Testimonials

We were please to work with NIU, because apart from bringing a strong creative element to the project, they are also extremely efficient, deadline-conscious and customer-centric. We were supported every step of the way and our queries and challenges were treated in a friendly manner.

Creating a new website can be very daunting. NIU remove this 'fear' and replace it with calm and efficiency. From design to implementation you'll be hand held throughout the entire process, with informative 'how to' videos to guide you even though you're only a phone call or email away from being assisted by NIU crew. Should you delete something that you didn't intent to, or completely reposition items on a particular page that you shouldn't have - NIU will soothingly solve all.

The project was incrementally built, having us involved alongside the team during the whole process which was amazing having us involved as much as possible. Each challenge was handled professionally and efficiently by the NIU team. Thanks to all the team for the final successful project.

I've been working with NIU since their inception, and over the years, we have launched multiple websites across the various Alf Mizzi & Sons group of companies. These ranged from simple websites and online games to high-traffic media and e-commerce websites.

Apart from their obvious technical expertise and prowess, I highly value the sense of ownership and pride that they take in their work. This is expressed in many forms: the ongoing constructive feedback on all of our projects, their commitment to identify and fix issues before we even notice them ourselves, and their constant drive to push us harder and harder to maximize our sales through our e-commerce website. It is refreshing to feel that you are viewed and treated as a partner and not seen as a burden by your service provider.

We still have multiple projects in the pipeline, and with NIU as our partner, I feel comfort in the fact that I will be guided honestly and unselfishly through the scoping of the project, and that the solution that we eventually develop will be visually attractive, intuitive and scalable.

Lovin Malta found a trusted development company in NIU. They helped us deliver a number of complex projects over the past year. The team’s efficiency, hands-on approach and 24-hour service is second to none.

I am impressed with the efficiency that NIU have delivered on schedule a working tool for our company. Communication to fine tune it was constantly open and they were always available to listen to our needs and apply them often within hours or less. This made it possible for us to have a website that serves our purposes perfectly, deviating from our original concept only when absolutely necessary.

I have been extremely pleased with the whole operation. I started working with the team at NIU about six months ago and the relationship has gone from strength to strength. They have given us good results and have committed to keep doing. I would most certainly recommend this young, friendly, dynamic and most importantly cost effective team. Well done!

From start to finish Matt and his team were efficient, on-point, patient & extremely helpful. The website was designed to a T and every last specification was taken note of and implemented. The launch date was always kept in mind and we never veered, in fact the site was ready 3 days before our intended launch date which to me, won them extra bonus points. I would definitely recommend their services - every last one of them.

We have commissioned NIU to create a new eCommerce site for Marsovin. NIU understood the brief and provided a final product which well reflects the Marsovin brand guidelines and story. We enjoyed working with the NIU team on this, who were readily available and helpful to provide timely action and support as requested.
