I wish I could hire Shenal full time. Mega.
Shenal is so easy to work and so very professional and business-smart. Honestly, I could not have imagined it going any better.
Shenal is always responsive to any of our asks, we are grateful for her help.
Very responsive. Unfortunately we haven't had much progress with funding.
Excellent Service
Shenal has been a joy to work with. Very proactive and attentive. Has improved the application within hours of getting started.
Seamless. Shenal has been incredibly accommodating and forward thinking. I am very happy. 5 stars!
Working with Shenal was amazing. She helped build my personal website and was helpful in teaching me how the backend works. Although I was familiar with Wordpress, learning how Softr used databases as the source of content took a bit to wrap my head around but Shenal was patient and eventually I understood and am now a happy user of Softr and its tools. 10/10 would work with her again.
Shenal has quickly picked up our project, is very responsive and has already made some visual improvements which the site really needed!!! Looking forward to working further with her.
I am so completely impressed with Shenal and Sunset Studios. She fully understands how to build in Softr, but just as important (if not more so), she really understands WHAT to build from a business standpoint and how companies like ours function. I wish we could hire her full-time. And she's so kind, humble, and genuine.
I learnt about Shenal’s ability to build athlete related platforms through a newspaper feature about her work with an Australian not for profit. When I met with Shenal she shared various possibilities about how technology could amplify my work in enhancing visibility of female athletes. I have received various complements on the beauty of our website. We have also receiving funding to work with women’s sporting organizations in Fiji and I’m collecting feedback to change the direction of our website. Working with Shenal has made this possible, not only because she is one of the few female builders from Fiji but because she is passionate about outcomes and not just the technical parts.
Shenal is excellent!
Working with Shenal has been a great experience. I have found her to be timely, efficient, very helpful, takes the time to explain concepts and friendly. When we needed changes to be done to our website, she has incorporated them accordingly. Much appreciation!!
Working with Shenal was a pleasure. She helped us create a pilot year MatchBox platform. We appreciated her positive attitude and willingness to share her expertise and advice. Her exceptional problem-solving skills delivered a fantastic solution. I'm grateful for her support and look forward to future opportunities to collaborate.
I absolutely love working with Shenal Harakh from the moment she built our website at selflessfiji.com and the ongoing improvements this past years has made our website user friendly . Appreciate and recognize her set of skills and tailored solutions that helped our platform reach many people in our local community here in Fiji. I would definitely encourage more people to work closely with Shenal as she has wealth of knowledge and experience .
Working with Shenal from Sunset Studio has been an absolute pleasure. She exceeded all expectations and turned our simple idea into a fully functioning web app that has made a tremendous difference for our organization. From the very start, she understood exactly what we needed and transformed our vision into reality with creativity, precision, and care. Communication with Shenal was effortless — she was responsive, professional, and proactive throughout the entire process. Her ability to translate our goals into a seamless, user-friendly experience truly impressed us. Thanks to her work, we’ve been able to better serve our community and streamline our operations in ways we couldn’t before. Honestly, everything went so smoothly that there’s nothing we’d change about the experience. We look forward to working with Shenal again in the future and continuing to build upon the great foundation she helped create.
Excellent partner and collaborator. Her knowledge of the platform is second-to-none, and her ability to create customized solutions based on our project needs was very impressive. Her timeliness, professionalism, and overall demeanor was also very impressive. Highly recommend working with Shenal.
Shenal’s expertise and strategic insight were instrumental in refining the project brief for our company portal. Her ability to align design, function, and user experience ensured that we developed a platform equipped with effective communication tools for staff, clients, and the wider community. Her attention to detail and collaborative approach made the process both efficient and enjoyable. I am confident that the completed portal will significantly strengthen our business operations and elevate our clients’ overall experience.
Diligent, collaborative, a great communicator, generous, considerate, extremely good handle on the technology. Perfect partner for the project.
