We chose Mike to create a brand new website for our charitable care home, and right from our initial contact he was professional and responsive and took the time to understand our brief, the needs of our audience and the information that … More we needed to contain in our site. The Wordpress website Mike created is modern, stylish, easy to use and priced very competitively.
We also use Mike for ongoing website training and support and I can honestly say he is the most responsive IT professional we have ever worked with. He replies to emails or phone calls extremely quickly, is always polite, solution orientated and positive, no matter what the query or request.
Our organisation is one of the largest employers in our area and Mike has always given excellent customer service, especially when compared to some of the poor customer support given by larger agencies that we have used in the past.
We wholeheartedly recommend Mike as your next website designer and support provider - you won't be disappointed. -
