Testimonials

The team (especially Julie) were very professional and super-helpful. They gave us lots of good advice, helped to fix myriad website problems and issues and were very patient when we were sometimes unsure of what what we wanted / where we wanted to go. Nothing was too much trouble, and their efforts to deliver informative and timely advice, is to be commended. Many thanks!

I want to say a huge thank you to Julie and Chris who have helped create a magnificent new homepage for IRRU. Julie is a joy to work with; she communicates at each stage, is responsive to my feedback and has the patience of a saint! Thank you Julie :-) Also, the components editor training was excellent and gave me the confidence to then build on the new homepage and recreate and upgrade all the existing sub-pages. We now have a website to really show off. Thank you for all of your help, Julie.

Louise Cullen

Being new to the role and having a tight deadline to refresh the webpages, Julie has been a great help. She has provided great support as well as advice and guidance and has always been on the end of an email if I was stuck - thank you so much!

It was a brilliant team to work with. I was especially impressed by the work of Julie and Chris in coming up with a design that would work best for our key concepts.

Julie was great on this project, so helpful and the design team did such a great job on the design of the front page. Julie was able to process the project really efficiently and cannot thank Julie enough for all her help.

The refresh of the website design is just what we needed. It came about through a conversation regarding accessibility (as the old colours we were using weren't accessible), so IT Services suggested that one of their graphic designers could come up with some alternative designs for us that would meet accessibility guidelines. The results were great - we were given a few options to choose from and we went with the one that ties in with our brochure. The turn-around in terms of implementing the design was quick and we were also given the opportunity to flag any issues after the design had been implemented. Thanks again for your help with this :)
