Just left us a star review
My experience with Kia'a Barretto has been fantastic. He is extremely creative and has amazing communication skills. He gets the job done above and beyond and I would recommend him anytime!
William has worked with me to make my machines run faster. His suggestions for website promotion and design have been super helpful to say the least.
Kiai Barretto, who is the owner of KLB Solutions, worked for me for about 5 years as the sole IT person in my Hawaiian Tour company. He built the site out to be about 12,000 pages and represented over 400 vendors and over 1500 separate tours. At the time it was the largest and most comprehensive tour company website in the state of Hawaii. He was responsible not only for the build-out of the site but all the maintenance and everything that entailed. He was always available and never disappointed. The most impressive thing about Kiai to me was that whatever I would dream up for the site, he was able to make it happen. He is extremely bright and capable, and he never let me down. Tom Barefoot
