Opinions

I initially enlisted Belar to help with a small side project. His professionalism, fast response time, scope of services and extremely high quality of work have now made him my go-to freelancer.

What I like best is that he asks great questions to make sure he comprehensively understands my business needs, then follows with good recommendations I had often not considered that help me make wise decisions.

I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Jeremiah - design agency founder

Ray of sunshine to the freelance world. I’ve never really had a good experience with hiring online until I started working with him about a month ago. He’s professional, creative, charismatic and an overall incredible person to work with. He meets every deadline with extraordinary care and punctuality, he is an amazing communicator.

I could not be happier with the work he’s done and I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to continue working with him in the future.
