Houzz was founded by Adi and Alon, after taking on the task of remodelling their home. They started as most do – with recommendations from friends and family, and a pile of design magazines to weed through. After becoming very frustrated with the process, they started Houzz – a website where home owners can look for ideas to upgrade and update their home, and a place for builders to advertise their wares.Cursive Fonts - which ones are goodRead our new blog article - Overcoming your Unnatural Fear of Cursive Fonts

Each of the Houzz award winners receives a “Best of Houzz” badge for their Houzz profile, complete with the year they won in. These badges are also provided in a variety of sizes to be included on websites, business cards and stationery – ensuring that all potential clients know of the company’s achievement.
